I'm bored with chess. I don't think I want to play anymore. I suppose I'll catch up on my schoolwork next weekend instead.

Does anyone want to borrow my chess set for the rest of the tourney? They're quite good. Just don't listen to the king's bishop. He gives horrid advice.

told you chess was dull. you shuld play exploding snap with me.

[alt_theodore]

Exploding snap gives me a headache.

[alt_millicent]

oh. we can play anything i dont care.

[alt_theodore]

I'll keep that in mind...

[alt_harry]

Teddy!!

What do you have to do that for? Now the Gryffindors are sure to win!

[alt_theodore]

I just don't want to play anymore. I've done nothing but play chess for a month now and I'm bored. I miss reading books.

I've heard Ernie is really good. Maybe the Hufflepuffs will win and then nobody will be happy.

[alt_harry]

Except the Hufflepuffs!!

[alt_theodore]

They're always happy so it doesn't count.

[alt_harry]

I spose. And they won't crow about it either cause they're so nice.

[alt_theodore]

The girls are going to hate me for months now though.

[alt_millicent]

i dont hate you teddy.

[alt_theodore]

Thank you Millie.

[alt_harry]

It kind of serves you right cause you did quit early though.

[alt_theodore]

They'll get over it I suppose.

[alt_harry]

I dont know I wouldn't want to be on Sally Anne's bad side! She always looks like shes planning something.

[alt_theodore]

I think Pansy is more cross than she is.

[alt_harry]

Pansy is oftn cross.

[alt_sally_anne]

But you already beat Ron, you'll win the tourney if you each beat everyone else you play!

[alt_theodore]

Now Ron can win it. He's better than me anyway.

[alt_sally_anne]

And it's going to mess everything up to have you drop out or Pansy or anyone else, the schedule took me hours to set up. Please keep playing?

[alt_pansy]

Unlike Teddy, I honor my committments like a good Slytherin.

[alt_theodore]

You wouldn't know a good Slytherin if it hexed you in the face.

[alt_pansy]

I know enough not to let my fellow House members down when they've worked so hard to put something together.

[alt_theodore]

That's hilarious coming from a blood traitor.

[alt_pansy]

I bet you've been working on that comeback for days, haven't you?

[alt_theodore]

About as long as you've been working on that one.

[alt_pansy]

It's too bad you dropped out. I was curious to see you play Ron and how it turned out.

[alt_theodore]

I did play Ron. And I won. And since I'm dropping out he can take the tournament as long as he wins the rest of his games.

[alt_pansy]

No, I meant see you play him for the win.

[alt_theodore]

But I played Ron already, Pansy. It's a round robin, you only play people once?

[alt_pansy]

I'm never going to figure out this round robin thing.

[alt_sally_anne]

It doesn't matter. If he doesn't want to play anymore it's fine.

I checked the book and in real tournaments if someone doesn't show up they just lose by default, so I don't have to rework all the matches so everyone has an opponent every time.

I'm glad you're still playing though, Pansy.

[alt_pansy]

I"m glad I'm playing too! I'm learning lots.

[alt_theodore]

I don't want to play anymore Sally-Anne, I'm sorry. I'm sick of looking at a chess board.

[alt_padma]

I think he's just worried Linus will wipe the board with him and he can't stand to lose in front of anyone.

[alt_theodore]

Yes.

[alt_pansy]

I think you're right.

[alt_draco]

I've been waiting for someone else to figure out it was boring.

[alt_pansy]

Your father seems to like it well enough.

[alt_theodore]

We should do something interesting instead. I'm not sure what though.

[alt_michael]

Do you want to go play something that isn't chess, then?

[alt_theodore]

We could find Zach and play rummy again. Or my father sent me a Wizard jigsaw puzzle, but it shouldn't be too hard because it doesn't move as fast as some of the really difficult ones do.

[alt_michael]

We could try the puzzle, I'm better at them if I don't pay attention to the picture anyway.
