The Queen turns again. Both Ron and Julienne study the game.
Julienne: Wait a minute.
Ron: You understand right, Julienne. Once I make my move, the Queen will take me...then you'll be free to check the King.
Julienne: No, Ron! No!
"What?!"
"What's happening?!" Molly screamed.
Hermione: What is it?
Julienne: He's going to sacrifice himself!
"No!" Ginny hugged his brother. No matter how much he annoyed her, he was still her brother. her family. She wouldn't know what to do if one of her brothers were gone.
Hermione: No, Ron, you can't!
Ron closes his eyes.
Hermione: There must be another way!
Ron turns to face Hermione.
Ron: Do you want to stop Snape or not? Julienne, it's you that has to go on. I know it. Not me, not Hermione, you.
Julienne: Just don't die on me, Ron; we promised each other we would try Firewhisky in our third year.
Ron laughs but looks forward.
Ron: Knight...to H-3.
Ron's horse moves forward, slides and stops.
Ron: Check.
The Queen turns and advances. Ron breathes faster, clutching the steel reins. The Queen stops. Ron goes flying off the horse and lands on the floor, unconscious.
"Ron!" Ginny shouted. The whole Weasley family was nearly in tears bar Molly who was already crying.
"I'm okay, mom!" Ron whispered while side hugging his mother.
Ron: Ahhhh!
Julienne: RON!
Hermione starts walking to him.
Julienne: NO! Don't move! Don't forget, we're still playing
Hermione moves back. Julienne walks the diagonal in front of the King.
Julienne: Checkmate
The King's sword falls onto the ground. Julienne breathes out and then the two-run to Ron. They bend beside him.
Julienne: Take care of Ron. Then, go to the owlery. Send a message to Dumbledore. Ron's right...I have to go on.
"That's what you guys should've been doing!" Molly screamed.
