#wizard chess

Ron Weasley would wipe the floor with all of them because they’d underestimate him. That’s his secret weapon: people always think Ron is just “the sidekick.” Meanwhile, he’s ten moves ahead, sipping pumpkin juice, waiting to say checkmate.

What about a Wizard chess?

The first drawing I had to finish of Alice and Damian (@speedysart 's MC) before starting the Hogtober, but I didn't have much time.💕

Year 1 - Wizard Chess ♟️ (2026)

(Sirius goes to visit Regulus and they play chess)

There was a soft tap on his door. He looked up to see Sirius in the doorway, alone for once. He didn’t begrudge his brother any of the love and comfort he had, he just didn’t always want to witness it. 

“Can I come in?” Sirius asked.

“Of course.” Regulus said, gesturing toward an empty chair. Sirius sat down. “Everything all right?”

“Yes. You?” 

“Fine.” Regulus was not sure what Sirius wanted. It was unlike Sirius to show up alone for no good reason. “Where’s Remus?”

“Home. He and Lily are working on some stuff for the school.”

“Is there something you need? Or were you just bored?” Regulus said.

“I wanted to see how you were doing. I’m allowed to, right?” Sirius said, his voice carefully neutral.

“There’s no need. I’m fine.”

“Good.” Sirius said, still sitting in the chair. Regulus had half expected him to leave after that but he should have known his brother better.

“Was there something else?”

Sirius chuckled and shook his head. “You don’t make it easy, you know?”

“Sirius -”

“I will leave you alone if you don’t want company.” Sirius stood and went to the door.

Regulus almost let him leave before he said, “Want a game of chess? I could use a break.”

Sirius regarded his brother for a moment. “Sure.”

Regulus summoned the chess board and the pieces lined up on either side. 

"Which side do you want?" Sirius asked. 

"Black." 

Sirius's eyes flickered toward Regulus's, like he was going to comment, but he uncharacteristically kept it to himself. 

"Is this Grandfather Arcturus's set?" Sirius asked.

"Yes. Uncle Cygnus's set doesn't listen to me." 

"I'll bet." Sirius said, making his move.
