The Chimaera and the Hippogriff
'We needed it a lot at Hogwarts the year before last' -- ??? did I miss something? who was the 'we'? and where was the 'a lot'? That would be fifth year, wouldn't it?
Nice 'muggle' chess game .

OTP chapter "Grawp"

"Dungbombs and Strink Pellets were dropped so frequently in the corridors that it became the new fashion for students to perform Bubble-Head Charms on themselves before leaving the lessons..."

So "we" is anybody at Hogwarts and they are telling Tonks how they got so much practice at the Bubble-Head charm that they could cast it very quickly once they realised they had to.

I'm glad you like the chess game - thanks.

Hmm. This is a very odd story. You told me everything with come to gether in the end. But will anything come together before that, because I'm still a little confused. LoL

Excellent; I prefer that notation for chess (vs. what's commonly used now). The chapter seems quite believable.

I thought that descriptive notation would be more picturesque, and since Ron inherited his chess set from his Grandfather, it would be more likely to use it. Also I learned it first too! I do make a less direct reference to algebraic notation much later on.
