As Ron is awarded fifty house points for getting past McGonagall's giant chess set, he remembers when his Grandad taught him how to play chess.

"Ronnie, come here. Today, I'm going to teach you how to play Wizard's Chess."

"Really?" I've always wanted to play Wizard's Chess. Percy's awful at it."

Hermione is alone in bed one night, hearing the whispers of the other two girls in her dormitory, their silent laughter, as she plans what to do to get him back.

Ginny's tears had long since dried and Harry was long gone; sort of... It was her fault, how many times can ones heart break and repair it self when it was your entire fault? How much pressure can one take? Ginny's heart is beginning to fade away each second she can feel his soul being sucked out of him; she had been so foolish to play right into his hands... She had played so carelessly, but now her chances were limited and it seemed impossible. But a voice kept egging at her, it only seemed impossible that didn't mean it was see after all still had a chance she could play the game of lies

You'd never think of how much children could change so drastically. Hermione would've never thought that her little boy, the sweetest thing you could ever meet, would turn into the worlds new "Dark Lord". Amazing how much your life can change in 16 years, but I guess that's why they call it the game of life.

Cheating: bad for one's soul and morals, but luckily Leslie Dannel has little worry about that. Whatever helps her win Quidditch, she'll go for it. She has no morals when it comes to the game.But then...having to spend the summer with the captain of the team she's spying on might make her crack. Could Oliver Wood really change her?
