She had played wizarding chess with her aunts once in a while over the summer so she had at least a clue. But it seemed like a lot didn't know how, which was a little surprising to her being that she was younger and didn't have a whole lot of magical experience being born to a muggle and a squib. That wasn't really the point though and she stepped up next to the older Hufflepuff boy (Sander) who was asking for help.
"We're pawns," she said with a beaming smile as she looked up at him. "We move forward, one space at a time, but when we capture someone, we have to go diagonally." She bit her lip as she peered out across the board. "But you know what's special?" she began looking back at him. "On our first move, we can move two spaces instead of just one.. see?" She reached for his hand then started to move forward, prompting him to move with her. So what if they weren't taking turns.. this was just for fun, yeah?
Sander was surprised when a young Ravenclaw walked up to him and explained what he was supposed to do as a pawn. "
Hello. Thanks for explaining the game to me. I'm Sander by the way. So all I do is move forward one square after I make my first move but on the first move, two squares? I only move forward. Got it...I think," Sander nodded as he took the younger girl's hand and followed her taking two steps across two squares in front of him before turning around and returning to his spot.
"
So....um....who gets to move first?" Sander turned to look at the girl again. "
I know white does but which piece?"
....yes this was so confusing. Who was going to keep track of each piece on the board in order for them to know where to move?
