Y/n pov

"So, we're improvising this entire thing. Good to know." You Sigh.

"Whatever we face, we'll face it together then." You say smiling at the trio.

"Agreed." The three say in unison.

You all walk through the next door and you run into the stone in front of you. You shake you head clear and walk out further.

"What is this place?" You ask the dim room seems to feel your presence.

"It's a chess board!" Ron said happily. You had a tinge of fear run through you, as the fires became more lit. You remember this place from your dream. You ignore it and walk forwards with the others.

"There's the door." Harry says, you all quickly walk towards it getting stopped right away.

"Now what do we do?" Hermione asks.

"It's obvious isn't it. We play our way across the room."

"Harry, Y/n you take the empty bishops squares. Hermione you'll be the queen's side castle, as for me, I'll be a knight." Ron said heroically. You knew he enjoyed saying that.

We all take our places.

"What happens now?" Hermione asks nervously.

"Well, white moves first and then...we play." You look at Hermione scared. Ron wouldn't try to get you killed... right?

"Ron, you don't suppose this is going to be like real wizards chess... do you?" Hermione asks. You and Harry look over to him for answers.

"You there D5." Ron commends one of the pieces. Once it gets there it's slashed to bits. Oh...Crap!

"Yes Hermione. I think this is going to be exactly like wizard's chess." He says looking at the petrified girl.

"Ron, I hope you're as good at this as you think you are." you tell him.

"I hope so too." He mutters.

The game is in motion Ron, is sending many out including Harry and I. Hermione stands waiting. You feel adrenaline with every order, It gets more intense, different pieces being slashed and blown to bits. Ron looks worried. Harry ducks as another major piece gets destroyed on our side. You stand one to the right of Harry to scared to what's going on to fully ponder what lies beyond the next door.

Harry and you have a faint idea of his plan as we lock eyes.

"Wait a minute." Harry ordered stopping Ron.

"You understand right Harry? Once I make my move, the Queen will take me. Then you're free to check the king." He tells us.

"No, Ron NO!" Harry yells.

"What is it?" Hermione asks still confused on the matter.

"He's going to sacrifice himself." Harry and I tell her.

"No, you can't! There must be another way." Hermione yells.

"Do you want to stop Snape from getting that stone or not?" Ron says back. That silences her.

"Ron there is another way." You point out.

"Ron, I'm close enough, if she takes me on, Harry can get through and you'll be okay." You tell everyone.

"And you'll be dead or near it." Ron points out.

"What about you Ron?" You ask.

"Y/n, Harry it's you that has to go on. Not me, Not Hermione. But you two. So, it has to be me here." Ron's little speech. You and Harry back off. Harry nods and you don't want to look.
