Do you feel it, Harry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron scanned the cottage in confusion and scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ralph Schneider is useful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was still studying the personalities of the pieces; when facing real chessboard duels and ever-shifting battles, something inside him felt as if it had awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His adaptability was exceptional—he had won nearly as many games as Ron and was now among the most skilled young wizards at chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they whispered, Wizard Sean suddenly seemed to recall something; his figure slowly materialized, but Harry and Ron, engrossed in their debate, noticed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Weasley’s Prank Shop added more [Strange Strange Wizard Chess] sets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They followed wizard chess rules, but the pieces entering the game offered many choices:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Knight Ralph Schneider—if you ordered him to advance straight, after three steps he could take one more; but if you ordered him to retreat, he would do many annoying things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Knight Flick Santiago, a brave but dim-witted fellow—he sometimes gained an extra move and turned the tide; other times, that extra step delivered his own head straight to the enemy’s blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These alchemical creations Wizard Sean made on a whim not only honed his skill in shaping willpower within alchemical constructs, but also gave him the final piece to reach [Skilled]:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Intermediate · Strange Strange Wizard Chess: Beginner (19\u002F300)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Intermediate · Wizard Chess: Beginner (119\u002F300)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Intermediate · Leisure Broom: Beginner (100\u002F300)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he only needed to spend time grinding his proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wizard Sean plunged back into busyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Hall had become a chaotic mess these days. Someone had bought the first set of [Strange Strange Wizard Chess] via owl post; these absurd yet plausible chess sets quickly spread through Hogwarts, and some wizards bought dozens just to collect all twelve different knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most powerful among them was the “Gendoka Knight”—in dire straits, this knight could shatter two opposing pieces in a single move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young wizards cried out: “This power level is way beyond standard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t stop them from wanting to collect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this knight appeared with extremely low probability in [Strange Strange Wizard Chess].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Green, we’re already being Liangxin —after all, we let him appear at all, right? Three hundred chess sets, and he shows up once! How morally upright! You should know some unscrupulous merchants never let such rare pieces appear at all—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They only let them appear when business is slow… like wizard lotteries—if fools keep buying, no one ever wins. But when buyers dwindle—ha! The lucky one appears! Then the fools rush back to hand over gold Galleons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins explained it this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wizard Sean strangely suspected the Weasleys winning the lottery might not be pure chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weasley and Green’s Prank Shop thrived, amassing a loyal customer base even before opening.
