Ron had even started to teach him a new game. Wizard chess and it played exactly like normal chess with the added addition that you had to deal with the fact that the chess pieces were alive and did not appreciate Harry's inability to play chess. Daphne had let Ron borrow hers while she was away. Ron was slightly annoyed at her because she hadn't mentioned that she had her own set up until she was leaving. Harry guessed this was because she didn't want to lose as badly as he was right now. Every time he began to lose you got angry, and the amount of times he had lost he was pretty frustrated. Ronald gave him some advice needed to keep calm, not let his frustration over the fact he was losing, get the better off him. Bugger off was all Harry had to say to him after that and Ron had just laughed at him and reset the board. Eventually Ron had accepted that Harry was never going to get better at this game so you found someone else to play with that person in particular had been Seamus, who was one of the few Gryffindor is to stay behind, apparently his family was going away and is in rather than to go on a trip abroad he chose to just stay at the castle. According to Ron it was a little tense at first, but after a few games they had gotten it quite a good rhythm. Ron still dominated Seamus but the Gryffindor gave a bit more of a challenge and Harry himself did.
