[Lk] Homework is just that exciting

[Helia Ollivander]

"It is wicked indeed," she said with a smile, rmembering all the past summer at the wand shop. She raised an eyebrow at the mention of chess, "So you play chess, hm? You should come visit me at Ollivanders. Perhaps we could play a few games," she offered cheerily. It had been quite a while since she'd enjoyed a good game of wizards chess. Her Uncle had a bad habit of cheating and giving the pieces wands to hex her pieces when they played. She had yet to figure out how he did it, but it was entirely unfair.

Ron's entire face lit up and he found himself leaning on his textbooks out of excitement. Chess was one thing he enjoyed above all others - excluding Quidditch, of course, and he hadn't been able to play with anyone new in ages. "Really?" Noting how excited he sounded, he grinned slightly. "You know, I think I will, if you don't mind it... I mean, I don't want to intrude or anything. You're with your uncle and things, and I know family is more important than chess and..." He trailed off, looking at her a bit wonderingly. "I'll stop by sometime." He finally decided to say, after a rather awkward pause on his part.

"As far as I know I've got nothing planned, so any intrusion would be welcomed." She smiled, she was looking forward to their chess game. It would be nice to play a fair game for once, and it would be interesting to see if Ron really was such a great chess player or if he was just bragging. Not that it particularly mattered, but with her being such a nosy know-it-all those were the kinds of things that entered her mind. "I shall look forward to your visit, good sir. And now, I must be off to finish packing." she stood and bowed deeply for dramatic emphasis, then waved and walked back to the castle.
