Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy

"Queen's Knight, b6."

When Ron spoke, Draco opened his eyes and nodded.

Their eyes still didn't meet, but somehow Ron seemed to know that Draco would agree with that.

The White Queen falls into the Black Knight's attack range, and Ron seems to have successfully rescued her.

Hermione had just breathed a sigh of relief when White's next move made Ron groan.

"Weasley. Can I take this step?"

I thought Ron was in trouble, but unexpectedly, Draco quickly came to support me.

But what surprised the three of them even more was that before taking action, Draco actually took the initiative to stop Ron and ask for his consent.

It seemed that Ron's performance so far had won Draco's respect on the chessboard.

Ron nodded without hesitation, his brows furrowed.

It seems that he is thinking about the next layout.

"Don't worry. I won't ruin your chess game."

"I just can't stand them and help you put pressure on them."

But before Draco gave the order, he surprised Harry again by speaking.

He didn't expect that Draco would admit in person that this was Ron's chess game.

"Queen's Bishop, go to g4!"

Draco raised his right hand lightly, and used his folding fan to command the bishop beside her to go up to the bishop in the front square of the white chess.

This aggressive move directly threatens the castle at d1 and suppresses the knight at f3.

Ron laughed out loud in relief.

"As expected of Malfoy, he is so cruel and ruthless."

"This way, White's castle and knight can't move."

Ron explained to Harry in a low voice, as if he was afraid that Draco would hear his "cruel and ruthless" comment.

But Harry found that Draco glanced at him with an extremely unhappy look, and he secretly broke into a cold sweat for Ron.

The white pieces seemed to be in control of most of the situation, but were somewhat at a loss after being suddenly pressured.

He quickly took the next step and was attacked by the advancing White Bishop.

Trying to counter Ron who was threatening the front of the matrix, and also trying to suppress Draco who never moved.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other nervously. To them, this was a vindictive attack.

But that just made Ron turn his head straight away and make eye contact with Draco for the first time all night.

Then Ron laughed heartily.

"Queen's Knight, b6 to a4."

Draco's eyes widened.

"Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

Listening to Ron's firm response, Draco quickly scanned the battle situation.

He squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his folding fan and looked at the chessboard after the Black Knight took action following his orders.

"Weasley."

Then, Draco took the initiative to call Ron.

"What, Malfoy?"

Ron replied nervously, but Draco opened his folding fan and covered his face with it.

“It’s a great move.”

"Miss, I didn't expect that."

"Uh... uh... that... that..."

Sudden admiration comes from the most unlikely source.

Ron blushed and scratched his head, hesitating.

"He calculated the situation five steps ahead."

Facing the confused looks from Hermione and Harry, Draco explained quietly.

"The Black Knight steps forward and threatens the White Queen, forcing the White Knight to eat the bait."

But at the same time, the White Knight becomes an orphan.”

"Next, as long as Weasley captures the white pawn, he can force the White Queen to leave."

"In this way, we used the light pieces to destroy the formation that White had worked so hard to build and consolidate."

Moreover, it also opens up the central battlefield. Our castle and queen can directly threaten the king. "

Sacrifice a knight who is out of the battle so that we can control the endgame."

Her face was slightly red, and she was obviously embarrassed to explain in person why she praised Ron.

After Draco finished speaking, Ron smiled foolishly and watched the White Knight take the bait.

Move forward, capture the white pawn, and threaten the white queen.

Hermione looked at the chess board and then jumped up and down clapping.

Harry laughed and looked at Draco.

Draco still covered his face with his folding fan and rolled his eyes at Harry, full of reluctance.

The white chess formation was completely destroyed after Draco's surprise attack and Ron's superb move.

-

The celebration of victory lasted only a few seconds.

At this point in the game, the four players have already understood that the white chess piece's style is to adopt a fierce and aggressive attacking style.

The matrix occupying the middle game collapsed, but the White Queen didn't care.

It went straight up and hit twice with a "bang".

He dismembered the black pawn in front of Draco's left side with his bare hands.

It also threatens Draco and Ron.

Obviously, he saw through the other party's leader and wanted to perish together with both of them.

The cruel behavior caused the black stone powder that made up the black spots to fly into dust.

This caused Draco and Harry, who was not far away, to cough continuously.

Then, with a crisp "crack", the White Queen threw the remaining body of the Black Pawn out of the chessboard.

It hit the stone wall, turned into ashes, and slowly drifted away.

But what is even more frightening is the white chess's brutal and rampant thinking.

Since his offensive had been broken, he had to destroy the opponent's combat power even at the cost of his own life.

Harry and Hermione turned pale with fear.

What was worse was that when Harry turned around, he saw Ron's miserable expression and Draco's slightly pale face.

"We were...we were almost there, but..."

Ron spoke hesitantly, looking at the confused Harry and Hermione, and hesitated for a long time before turning to Draco.

"You...you understand, right, Malfoy?"

Draco looked at Ron and made a sharp half-turn, scanning the remaining chess positions.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly.

"Understand what?"

Harry asked anxiously, but Hermione seemed to have guessed what Ron was thinking.

"You want to sacrifice yourself, don't you?"

"No-!"

"This is the only way! We're almost winning!"

"You have to make some sacrifices to win!"

""Can't!""

"Do you want to stop Snape or not?"

Ron, Harry and Hermione were arguing, but Ron's last roar calmed them down.

"Malfoy—"

After convincing Harry and Hermione, Ron spoke to Draco with a trembling voice.

"I said it was Quirrell, not Severus."

Draco corrected in an icy tone and Ron's mouth dropped open in frustration.

Draco immediately softened his attitude.

"Don't worry, I told you I won't mess up your chess game."

After getting Draco's consent, Ron breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and spoke with a fearless attitude.

"The rest, go your way, Malfoy."

"Defeat them!"

Draco said nothing, but looked at Ron quietly. After a long moment, he nodded slowly.

He closed his folding fan one fold at a time, took a step forward, and walked away from the White Queen.

Go to a5, approach the lone White Knight, and at the same time, turn sideways and look at the White King.

"General."

This is the first move of the Black Queen in the entire game.

The only soldier who could arrive in time to rescue him rushed forward tremblingly, trying to physically block Draco's threat to the king.

Draco ignored his opponent without a care in the world, his face glowing with cold pride.

He stepped onto a square and defeated the White Knight who had no way to escape.

In Harry's eyes, it was like the noble queen in a black robe finally arriving on the battlefield, her aura causing the white chess pieces to shrink and tremble.

Unlike Ron's calm layout, after Draco took over the game, the black chess pieces became much faster and more aggressive.

During these quick steps, Ron kept his eyes closed, waiting for the attack from the White Queen.

After Draco sends the White Knight out, the White Queen strikes.

The hard stone fist hit Ron hard.

Amid Hermione and Harry's screams, Ron let out a low cry and fainted on the ground.

Fortunately, White did not behave too cruelly towards Ron, but simply carried him out of the chessboard.

-

"What's next?"

Hermione asked tremblingly as Draco looked at the chess game coldly.

"Kingside Castle, e8."

He watched coldly as the black chess castle stepped forward, threatening the white queen that had just hit Ron.

White seems to have finally realized that the opponent who is dominating the game,

Gryffindor, who calmly maintained the situation, possessed chivalry, and would not easily sacrifice his comrades,

It was replaced by Slytherin, who would do whatever it takes to induce the opponent to make mistakes and then strike back.

With several quick steps, the bishop and the front-line soldiers were moved to rush to provide assistance.

As much as possible, he wanted to rescue the chess pieces that were left in the center of the battle and might be destroyed by Draco.

However, Draco's arrogant attitude completely ignored him and he just continued to move forward.

The Black Bishop, who had made great achievements in the surprise attack not long ago, was trapped in the enemy's camp, ate another White Knight, and died in the process.

The continuous attacks left no room for the white pieces to catch their breath.

At this point, Harry understood what Draco was thinking.

He looked at her firmly and found that she was looking at him and nodded softly.

Draco wanted to make the white chess piece that was stranded in the center of the battlefield disappear completely.

Even if it means sacrificing necessary teammates, we must leave the White King with no soldiers left.

What was unspoken was that Draco was clearly seeking revenge for White's coercion and Ron's sacrifice.

The Slytherin princess faced her enemies with ruthlessness, which made Harry admire her, but also scared.

Harry silently followed Draco's instructions, moved sideways one square, and captured the White Bishop who had just come to help.

At the same time, watch as Draco allowed the Black Castle, which had been protecting him, to be exposed to the threat of the White Queen.

With no better options for attack, the White Queen stepped forward and shattered the guards who had been protecting Harry throughout the entire game.

Harry quickly squatted down to avoid the black stone powder rolling down beside him.

Hermione, who had not moved during the entire scene, simultaneously shouted at Draco to ask further questions.

"Next, it's my turn to move, right?"

It seemed that Hermione also understood the chess game.

At Draco's nod, Hermione moved sideways to e8, driving the White Queen off the board.

At the same time, face the king across the board.

"General."

White hesitated.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other nervously, and when they looked at Draco, they saw that she was studying the King coldly.

"It's not a dead end, but—"

With the arrogant air of a daughter of an ancient wealthy family, she loudly declared war.

"If you have a little self-awareness, now you only have one choice."

"No, force me to do it myself."

After Draco's clear and tender rebuke, the White King hesitated for a moment.

It seemed that the White King and Draco were thinking the same thing.

Then, he slowly took off the crown, bent down, and gently placed it on the chessboard.

White gave way, and Harry and Draco rushed to the wooden door, only to find that Hermione was hesitating and not coming forward.

"What if he—?"

"He...he'll be fine."

Hermione asked worriedly, and Harry responded anxiously.

While trying hard to convince himself, he looked at Draco uneasily.

"Hagrid's three-headed dog, Professor Sprout's Devil's Snare—"

Draco just stared at Hermione motionlessly, counting the levels he had passed.

Harry was stunned for a moment, and so was Hermione.

Then Hermione looked back at Draco.

"The key to flight was obviously Professor Flitwick, and Professor McGonagall used Transfiguration to make the chessboard come alive."

Then Hermione spoke, and Harry looked at the two girls in confusion, their inexplicable rapport.

"That leaves Quirrell, and Severus."

Draco said this with a cold look in his eyes, and Hermione's eyes also regained their sharpness.

"You still insist it's Quirrell?"

"You still insist it's Severus."

"I will prove that I am—"

"So will Harry, Malfoy."

"Harry will also prove that we are right."

The lips and eyes were in direct conflict, leaving Harry no room to reply.

But Hermione's last words made him look up in confusion.

"Hermione?"

Hermione smiled faintly when she couldn't help but ask.

"There are two levels left. From what I've seen so far, every level of the Philosopher's Stone is the professor's specialty."

Professor Quirrell's level should be some kind of dark magic creature, perhaps a troll."

"You shouldn't encounter any difficulties."

Harry, still puzzled by Hermione's confidence, was surprised to see Draco nodding in agreement.

"The final obstacle is Snape."

"With Malfoy here, that level shouldn't be too difficult."

Hermione continued to speak, and at this point Harry finally understood the hidden meaning behind Hermione's words.

"Aren't you coming, Hermione?"

Hermione laughed brightly.

"You're a great wizard, Harry."

"Unlike me, who only relies on books and clever tricks."

"You have noble sentiments, friendship and courage."

As he spoke, he ran up and hugged Harry tightly.

Draco raised his eyebrows.

"You can definitely stop him!"

"I want to take Ron back with me and then write to Dumbledore."

"In case, that person is really in the innermost part, at least we will have backup."

Then, without waiting for Harry to respond, he pushed Harry aside and motioned for Draco to open the wooden door.

At the same time, looking at Draco with warning.

"You'd better not—"

"I don't need your warning, Granger."

Draco responded calmly, speaking threateningly but quickly hesitating as Harry pulled the door open.

"Don't hold me back, stupid...Po...Potter."
