Ron was a bit nervous about asking Percy to play chess but he needed advice about the NEWTS. Ron pulled his board and pieces out from under his bed and headed back down to the kitchen. He found Percy stirring a cup of tea and was vividly reminded of the first time he'd played Chess with Percy. Ron had been so young and Percy was patient, seemingly surprised by Ron's skill, and the memories of the two of them playing over tea always made Ron smile.
"Hi ya, Percy," Ron said softly and grinned when Percy jumped. They were all getting to know each other again and it seemed like they all were nervous around each other. "Would you like to play a bit of chess and split a butter beer."
Percy's eyes widened in surprise and Ron waved his set in front of him.
"I promise not to trounce you," Ron said and smiled. "Well I won't humiliate you, but I'll probably trounce you."
