ROSELLA’S P.O.V
After a while, Harry finally managed to get the key we needed for the door and dropped it before Hrmione managed to catch it and tried getting the door unlocked as fast as we could before we finally managed to do so before opening the door, “Harry come on.” I shouted and we made it through the door and Harry managed to make it through as well before we quickly closed the door only to hear the Key’s hit against the door. After a few moments had passed we began to walk through another door and soon began to wonder where we were, “I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.” Hermione said to us, “where are we? A Graveyard?” Harry questioned before Ron spoke up, “this is no Graveyard” He said and walked up and looked around and I soon followed and looked around and saw that they were larger versions of chess pieces, “it’s a chess board.” Ron said before the entire room lit up, “Awsome.” I said before Harry and Hermione stood next to Ron and Myself, “there’s the door.” Harry said to us, “I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.” I said to them as we made our way to the door and before we could go any further, the Pawns drew their swords and blocked us from getting passed, “told you so.” I said to them, “Now what do we do?” Hermione asked us, “it’s obvious isn’t it?” Ron questioned, “we’ve got to play.” I said to them, “she’s right, we’ve got to play our way across the room. Alright, Harry you take the Empty Bishop Square. Hrmione, Rosella you’ll both be the Queen’s side Castle. As for me, I’ll be a knight.” Ron said before the four of us went to the spots Ron told us to be at and both Hermione and I stood next to each other, “what happens now?” Hermione asked, “Well, white moves first. And then, we play.” Ron said before the White pieces were the first to move before Hermione spoke up, “Ron, you don’t suppose this is going to be like real Wizards Chess do you?” She asked him, “there’s only one way to find out.” I said to her, “you there, D5” Ron said before the Pawn moved forward before the White Pawn ended up breaking ours and I jumped a little, “does that answer your question?” I asked her before Ron spoke up, “yes Hermione, I think this is going to be exactly like Wizards Chess.” Ron told her before we continued to play through the Game hoping that neither of us would end up getting hurt.

After a while had passed, there were only a few pieces left and the four of us still hadn’t moved before Harry spoke up, “wait a minute.” he said to us, “you understand right Harry. Once I make my move, the Queen will take me. Then you’re free to check the King.” Ron said, “no, Ron no.” Harry said to him, “You can’t be serious.” I said to him, “what is it?” Hermione asked us, “he’s going to sacrifice himself.” Harry told her, “no you can’t. There must be another way.” Hermione told Ron, “Do you want to stop Snape from getting that Stone or not? Harry, it’s you that has to go on I know it. Not me, not Hermione or Rosella, you.” Ron said before he got ready for might happen next before speaking up, “Knight to H3” He said before the Knight he was on began to move before it stopped in front of the Queen and after a short while had passed, the Queen took something and stabbed it into Ron’s piece causing him to fall off and land on the ground before seeing that h wasn’t moving and I heard his heart was still beating and I let out a sigh knowing he was alright before I noticed Hermione wa about to go over to him before  grabbed her arm, “no, don’t move. Don’t forget, we’re still playing.” Harry told her before he moved and stood in front of the King before eventually speaking up, “Check Mate.” he said before the Sword the King was holding had fallen to the floor Before the three of us had rushed over to Ron to see if he was alright before Harry spoke up, “take care of Ron and then go to the Owlery and send a message to Dumbledore. Ron’s right, I have to go on.” he said to us, “you’ll be ok Harry. You’re a great Wizard, you really are.” Hermione said to him, “not as good as you.” He said to her, “me? Books of cleverness. There are more important things, friendship and Bravery. And Harry, just be careful.” Hrmione said to him before he stood up and started walking away and I thought about whether or not I should help him before I stood up myself and went over to Harry before he noticed me, “what are you doing? You should stay with Hermione.” he said to me, “she’ll be alright. She knows what she’s doing. Besides, you're going to need all the help you can get.” I said to him as we left the room with the Large Chess Board and made our way to where we needed to be.

After a while, the both of us were making our way down some stairs before the Both of us noticed Professor Quirrell standing in the middle of the room as he looked into the Mirror that was in front of him before Harry spoke up, "you?" he questioned as Professor Quirrell turned to face us, "no, it can't be. Snape he-" Harry said, "don't say I didn't tell you so." I whispered to him, "yes, he does seem the type doesn't he? well next to him who would suspect Poor stuttering Professor Quirrell." Professor Quirrell said, "but that day, during the Quidditch Match Snape tried to kill me." Harry said to him, "no dear boy. I tried to kill you and trust me, if Snape's cloak hadn't caught fire and broken my eye contact, I would have succeeded even with Snape muttering his little countercurse." Professor Quirrell said to Harry, "Snape was trying to save me?" Harry questioned, "he probably acts the way he does for a reason." I said to Harry before Professor Quirrell spoke up, "I knew you were a danger to me right from the off. Especially after Halloweem'' he said, "Then you let the troll in?" Harry asked, "Snape was trying to do something about it and that's probably why he had that cut on his leg." I said to Harry, "very good, yes. Snape, unfortunately, wasn't fooled. While everyone else was running about in the Dungeon he went to the third floor to head me off. He, of course, never trusted me again. He rarely left me alone but he doesn't understand, I'm never alone. never. Now, tell me what does this mirror do? I see what I desire. I see myself holding the stone but how do I get it?" He said to us, “I don’t think it works like that.” I said to him before hearing a voice, “Use the boy.” the voice said, “come here Potter. now.” Professor Quirrell said to Harry and he walked up to Professor Quirrell and I stayed where I was, “tell me what do you see?” he asked Harry and after a few moments had passed, Professor Quirrell spoke up again, “what is it? What do you see?” he asked Harry, “I’m Shaking hands with Dumbledore. I’ve won the House Cup.” Harry said to him, “he lies.” the voice said, “Tell the truth. What do you see?” Professor Quirrell said to him, “let me speak to him.” the voice said, “Master, you are not strong enough.” Professor Quirrell said to it, “I have enough strength for this.” the voice said to him before he started taking off his turban and when he took it off, there was something on the back of Professor Quirrell’s head.
