"Exploding Snap?" Lyra asked the Potters and her brother.
Mr Potter, Mrs. Potter, Sirius, and James were sitting on the couch while Lyra searched through James old box of board games; finding something to do with the family that wouldn't cause James' parents a heart attack - though no one said it out loud.
"We played that yesterday," James said.
"Then why not some old fashioned Wizards Chess?" Mr. Potter said.
"I don't know how to play Wizards Chess," Lyra said sheepishly. "The peices always yell at me to make differant moves. . ."
"Don't know how to play Wizards Chess?" Mrs. Potter giggled. "Thats proposturous! Harold, teach her how to play."
"I'm not all that good," Mr. Potter said modestly. "But I could teach you the basics."
As he set up the board with all the chess pieces James turned to Lyra. "Dad's the best at Wizards Chess. He taught me everything I know."
"And you didn't listen," SIrius laughed. "I'm better at Wizards Chess then you, and I just figured out how to play."
James scowled and mimicked Sirius behind his back, making twisted facial features and everything. Lyra laughed.
"So how do I win?" Lyra asked emmidiatly, sitting on the other side of the board.
Mr. Potter laughed. "You have to learn how to play first, Lyra."
"Are you sure it's in that order?" Lyra asked.
"Yes, Lyra, I'm completely sure," Mr. Potter laughed with amusement .
"Oh, okay," Lyra said with a smile. "So how do I play?"
"It's simple really..." And all night they played Wizards Chess. Mr. Potter won; Lyra lost horribly.
