Who: Callum and Audrey What: Continuation of chess match and an important question Where: Ravenclaw Common Room When: Saturday evening after dinner Status: Closed / Complete
Cal was a tad nervous as he waited at the sofa for Audrey to join him. He tried to concentrate on the chess board, deciding on his next move, but he couldn't focus. Am I doing the right thing? he wondered to himself. But his friends had reassured him that it was definitely not too soon. But when should he ask her? As soon as she got there? After they'd played for a bit? Right before she went to bed? What if she just ran off?
Callum, he chided himself. It's fine. You've done this before, it's no big deal. With a deep breath, he glanced around the Common Room to make sure Jeremy was not there and then forced himself to focus on the board configuration at hand. After a few moments' fierce concentration, he moved his queen-side castle four spaces to the right and smiled up at Audrey as she joined him. "Check," he said in greeting.
