Who: OPEN THREAD
What: Beginner's Night @ Wizarding Chess Championships
Where: The Roost, Finnigan's
When: Thursday evening
Rating: SFW

Instead of the usual large chessboard taking up the floor of The Roost, Seamus had had Dominic set up several smaller ones - with room around the outside for the more usual kind of tabletop boards and chairs. It was a spur of the moment to do something different for the evening and Seamus honestly didn't know what kind of a crowd to expect.

Seamus and OPEN

After setting up his own personal chessboard in a corner table - and heavily warding it against theft or deliberate damage, because that thing was one of Seamus's few treasured possessions - Seamus moved to stand by one of the small standing chess sets. He bent to nudge a pawn, about level with his knee, back into place and then walked around to stand behind the black pieces. These were not wizarding chess pieces, really. Dominic had said that much transfiguration was impossible on such short notice, so they were merely chess pieces which could be levitated into position, they would not respond to commands.

He watched as people began to filter in, waving at his chess regulars and hoping at least a few beginners would show up for them to teach. If not, they could always have their own little tournament.

Pandora slipped in with the familiar feeling of nerves somewhere deep inside. She hated it, honestly; she'd never been like this when she was younger. But so much had happened since then. She put a smile on her face, tugged her robe sleeve down and did a mild sticking charm to it, and went on in.

She glanced around and realized she'd missed playing. She wandered around for a moment before stopping at a complete chess board. She tilted her head at Seamus and smiled, wondering if he'd recognize her and hoping not. "Up for a game?" she asked.

	"Let's do a smaller board," she agreed with a slight smile. "I don't want to be utterly humiliated in public if at all possible. I'll someone else have the pleasure of the large set." She followed him to another set and sat down. "Which color do you want?" she asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pandora contemplated the board for a moment, though it was hard to gauge unknown pieces. She missed her old set, which had been destroyed in a fit of temper by Bellatrix Lestrange during the war. "Yes, well, you never know," she said before ordering one of her center pawns forward two spaces to open. "And you could be having me on, after all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Go on. I'll find someone else to play, no worries," she told him, smiling faintly. "Enjoy the rest of your night and thanks again for the game." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Cho wasn't much of a wizard chess player, but she liked watching games, so when things had started in The Roost she'd made her way and took a table not far from the ones cleared for playing. She took out a book and settled in with her glass of wine, crossing her legs demurely to wait for the matches to begin. (Reply to this) (Thread)
