Sky loved chess. Any chess. Wizard chess and muggle chess. And these sets were just marvelous. She couldn't believe no one had bid on it yet. She took a pen and placed her bid. Quote:

Alright. He wanted it. Scabior was sure of it the moment he had gotten close enough to the set. He was no chess expert but it was a skill he had developed over the years. Mentally tuning his brain. In a way it almost helped him to try and be one step over people in reality.
Almost.

As Ivy meandered the silent auction tables, nothing caught her eye... Except for that. The chess sets. They were gorgeous. Ivy stared at them for a minute or two, figuring out where she would put them in her house. Yes, it was perfect. Ivy want.

He had been keeping an eye out at the chess able. Because he wanted that set. Plain and simple. Dash returned only to see that the person who had out bid him at the other table did it again. Quote: Full Name: Everett Scabior

Sky had meant to keep a watchful eye on the chess sets. But she had kinda forgot about them. But seeing that Professor her goddaughter told her about...The Divination one...No that one was a girl.. The history professor...That took them to Atlantis! That was the one!! Quote:

Sigh. Returning to the chess sets, Ivy saw that the Everett Scabior had bid again. And some other female she didn't know. Ivy didn't know how far she would go on this bid, but for now she wanted these chess sets. And she wanted them bad.

Scabior wanted a fight, didn't he? He was sure asking for one. Ivy wanted this chess set too, and she wasn't going to let him have it. Partially because she was a tad competitive, but mostly because it would look fantastic in her library. And she just wanted it, for Merlin's sake.

Hands in his pocket, Dash raised a brow. Okay. Sculptures or the chess set. That was really what it was between. Bitting his tongue on this one, Dash approached the table, and Ivy who was at it. "Enjoy the set." The deputy said simply. The set he had now was perfectly alright. He was not going to spend good money away on something he already had even if it wasn't quite as brilliant.

As Ivy looked up, she noticed the man she was competing against for the chess set and the animal sculptures. She smiled at him, somewhat deviously. He was giving up so soon... Shame. She was kind of looking forward to a fight. "Oh, I will, thank you." She would also enjoy the sculptures that he was NOT going to win. | |

Sigh. There was another one. Ivy had been hoping the other woman would have given up by now. Luckily, being an alchemy professor had its perks. So, she bid again.
