Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 40 Wizard Chess

"How does it taste, Ash?" Molly asked with a smile on her face. She asked Ash every time she ate a dish. She was so enthusiastic that Ash couldn't bear to tell her that she didn't taste anything.

"The taste is very good." He nodded to express his praise.

"That's good." Molly smiled slightly.

"Mr. Embers, is Hogwarts fun?" Ginny asked curiously. She was very curious when she heard that her father's friend was a Hogwarts professor yesterday. She has always wanted to go to Hogwarts. Watts goes to school.

"That's school, how can I say it's fun." Molly said slightly seriously.

"It's a very good place." Ash said, "It's the best school for training wizards." The cold tone seemed to be a prison there.

"Then do you think I can be a wizard?" Ginny held the fork as if she were holding a magic wand, "faint!" She pretended to flick Ron, as if she wanted to cast a spell on him.

"Don't do that!" Ron was a little annoyed, and he also picked up his fork and yelled at Ginny, "Disarm!"

"Ah!" Ginny put the fork away pretendingly, "Ron, you are too strong!"

Molly watched this funny scene and glared at Mr. Weasley, who was chuckling aside, "Okay, okay, let's eat."

"Ron is going to Hogwarts next year, right?" Ash asked casually.

"Well, he'll be eleven next year," said Mr. Weasley. "Ginny's going to have to wait another year."

Ash nodded knowingly and didn't say anything else. After all, he wasn't sure if he would still be at Hogwarts a year later. Maybe he would have found a chance to collect enough souls by then.

Alas, enough souls... still feel so far away.

"Mr. Embers is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, right?" Ron asked suddenly, obviously, he heard what Mr. Weasley said yesterday.

Ash nodded and admitted his identity.

"Then the class will definitely teach powerful spells?" Ron asked, obviously he wanted to learn a few spells, but he didn't know whether it was to show off in front of his sister or to get revenge on his brother.

"Of course, your two brothers are my students..." Ash thought for a while, "Oh, it's the three brothers."

He'd almost forgotten that studious Percy...or was it Percy?
Ron's face changed, he could almost imagine how he would be "tortured" by his two brothers this Christmas holiday.

"Then, George, and Fred..." Ron glanced at his parents who didn't care. "Are they serious in class?"

It's only been one class... Of course Ash doesn't know the little girl in Ron's heart, he thought for a while and said, "It's quite serious."

"Oops..." Ron said subconsciously, and Ash gave him a strange look.

Ginny ignored her worried brother, she asked curiously: "What else is there in class besides teaching spells?"

"And some lessons on creatures of darkness."

"Dark creatures?" Ginny exclaimed in a low voice. "So, are there any spiders?" She asked with a smile, and at the same time glanced at Ron beside her.

"Yes." Ash nodded, "The eight-eyed spider is one of the dark creatures."

"Ah!" Ron looked at Ash with a pale face. It was obvious that he didn't want to go to Hogwarts anymore...

In a word, let Ron drop out of school.

"Don't be afraid of Ron." Molly patted Ron's head, "Mr. Embers was just joking."

"Coward Ron!" Ginny said with a smile, "I'm going to faint from the spider!"

"Shut up, too, Ginny," Molly said, "Eat honestly."

Ash looked at this scene and didn't say much. He could understand Mrs. Weasley's love for his son. Parents always hope that their children can grow up in protection, but they should also know that there is no such thing as a hero who escapes the wind and rain. Where's the eagle?

Mr. Weasley shook his head silently. It was obvious that he didn't like his wife's doting policy either...but out of respect, he didn't say much.

Soon, a lunch was over, and Ash didn't feel anything other than feeling a little more in his stomach, neither a sense of fullness, nor that kind of exhilarating feeling, the kind of exhilarating pleasure of eating before waking up.

Ash was sitting on the sofa with a wizard chess set in front of him, and Mr. Weasley was sitting opposite him.

"There's nothing more fun than a game of chess after dinner!" said Mr. Weasley, taking out a chessboard.

Ash doesn't know how to play wizard chess, but he is smart and easily understands how to play it under Mr. Weasley's explanation.

It's very interesting to play... just like platooning troops to fight a war.

Ash has always been a one-man army in Rodland, and he doesn't play such strategic things very well.

But I didn't expect that Mr. Weasley was also a stinky chess player... This "old chess player" who has played for many years actually played back and forth with Ash, a new recruit... Ash even felt at a certain moment that Mr. Weasley was Let him.

But looking at his sweaty, thoughtful look...

Is this acting too high or is it just really smelly...

"It should be played like this!" Ginny looked at the chessboard and said, but she was not helping her father, but Ash.

Ginny liked Ash's gentle appearance, and his emerald green eyes were full of melancholy, which was full of stories in the curious girl's eyes.

Ash smiled and took a step according to Ginny's prompt, and ate one of Mr. Weasley's seeds.

Mr. Weasley ignored his daughter, who was turning her arms outward, and looked thoughtfully at the few flags...

"The knight advances to the fourth from the left." Ron said suddenly, taking this step before his father.

Ash didn't pay attention to this step at first, but he didn't expect that this step would directly kill him... Obviously, he was defeated by a ten-year-old child.

"Good job! Ron!" Mr. Weasley patted his child's head, then gave Ash and Ginny a flaunting look.

Your combination is not good, how about our father and son teaming up!

Ash looked at the ostentatious Mr. Weasley and couldn't help laughing. You and Ashes won the eighteen salary king together, right...

But Ron... Ash looked at the boy with a little curiosity, "Come on, Ron?" Ash asked with a smile.

"Can you?" Ron still looked a little unsure.

Mr. Weasley nodded, and moved away from his seat.

Ash also said that he was going to be serious, and his emerald green eyes looked at the chessboard seriously.

In just 10 minutes, Ash was defeated...

Obviously, he was blown away by Ron... Looking at the few remaining black pieces and the angry knight holding the sword... Ash nodded in admiration.

He didn't expect that the seemingly weak and unconfident child of the Weasley family had such a talent in wizard chess.

Strategic thinking represents a certain kind of sharp perception... This kind of sharp perception is very important, whether it is in combat or in research.

Ash has seen countless self-reliant people fall on the bridge that just walked out of the Dragon Academy... But he has also seen those who are said to be stupid and stupid to become the pride and last guard of the Dragon Academy through hard work.

And people with strategic thinking and keen perception... like Ash's teachers, they are Biheim's spies...
