Adrian nodded with a self-deprecating smile, "I've got a visit to my parents coming up and I know Father is going to ask me to play with him a while." He shook his head now, "I'm terrible, and have never taken to it, even the basics still allude me."
Looking around he asked, "Did you ever play at Hogwarts? I don't recall seeing you among the Club." Not that Adrian had paid much mind to the Chess Club in school, but he had watched people closely as always, and Viktor was one watch that year.
