Much to his chagrin, Wizards Chess had to be one of the extracurriculars for Evan to drop for his fifth year. He had every intention trying to join again for sixth, but it just had been too many things going on for an exam term. But that didn't mean he didn't still watch the noticeboard, and when he saw a meeting posting and found himself with a little bit of time... he thought there couldn't be too much harm in going and observing at least one. Right?

And he was certainly glad that had been his conclusion, as he stepped into the Great Hall and saw the transfigured life size game board. Well... this certainly seemed to promise fun. Or potentially pain, if this was to be anything like Ron Weasley back in his first year when they were trying to protect the stone. He was going to assume Professor Carton was NOT putting them in a situation like THAT.

Stepping further in, he headed towards one of the benches to take a seat, offering a nod of greeting towards Aria and a "Hello, Professor Carton."
