Ash Potter, Harry Ketchum?

Ages: Harry: 11, Hermione: 11, Ron: 11

Harry's P.O.V.

"Checkmate." I say emotionless as I stare at a game of Wizards Chess being played before 
me. Ron sat across from me and Hermione sat at the side of us, reading. She didn't like 
Wizards Chess, it was too 'Brutle.' I stare as Ron attempts to make his next move. It was 
now November 16, 2001. It was the first year at Hogwarts for me and my friends. Ron 
and Hermione were my best friends now. The inncedent with Hermione and the troll was 
recently over and now she was one of us.

"Your turn, Harry." Ron said after making his move and that move had been a very good 
one. I was about to lose. Ron was twenty times better than I was anyday. My moves were 
limited. I could see no good ones. I moved my queen and instantly lost as I relized my 
mistake and noticed a better move that I could have made. 

"Checkmate! I won!" Ron yelled happily.

"I see that." Once again my voice is emotionless.

Hermione rolled her eyes as they peered back to her book. Ron continued celebrating. "It's 
no big deal Ron. It's just a game." I say. "I know, I guess I got a little carried away. I gave 
him a glare. "Oh alright, a lot!" He confesses.

"Can we go to Gryffindor House now?" I ask hopefully to get some sleep.

"Oh alright." Ron sighs. Hermione closes her book and starts walking. As we head up to 
the tower Hermione speaks. "We still don't know who Nicholas Flammel is. You two need 
to start helping more!" I was silent along with Ron.

We seperated at the staircase that the first years would use. "See you tomorrow, 
Hermione." I say groggly as I all most pass out on the bed. In a matter of ten minutes I'm 
out. Which isn't normal, even if I'm tired.
