HERMIONE
How many sixth years would drive themselves crazy
By arguing over a game of chess?
Not very many--the way things are going
There'll soon be one less!

RON
Don't believe you, sweetie pie--

HERMIONE
Listen here, Ron, I too had ambitions
How did I get waylaid?
I should smash some flowers!
My potions project is due in the morn.
Instead, I'm your nursemaid
Just setting you up for those glittering prizes
You're so obsessed, you cannot take --

RON
We'll go to Hogsmeade!
I'm ninety percent of the way - for now, can't you just keep --

HERMIONE
Thanks--ten percent--you got me cheap.

RON
No, Hermione --I meant we are ninety percent of the way--

HERMIONE
How many sixth years --seventeen O.W.L. sixth years!
With S.P.E.W. things to shout about -- spend their time
Playing a game in which silence is golden
And speaking a crime?

RON
Maybe if he moved his king....

HERMIONE
All of my studies to prepare for my N.E.W.T.s,
My revising for C.O.M.C. --
Recklessly abandoned
For you who thinks Bleyk Hooves are moves for your knight
And heather-root a third year!
But then when I show you a move you can't fathom
I have to admit it feels great--

RON
Great news for chess fans!
Yeah--that's how he did it--yes, that's how the Slytherin plays!

HERMIONE
Maybe I deserve a date.


loupnoir is going to kill me for using the US version for this thing, not the markedly superior UK original.

I don't believe you are a lunatic at all...

Still, the UK version is the best (and Nobody's Side is the best on the best).

Stop! Please stop! I can't stand the melodrama. Put Chess away and back away from the audio equipment. Don't you have something better to do?

I think I need to go and do a press page for FA...

Or, of course, I could take a brick and place it on the ground...

(now listening to Barnum. Less melodrama, more elphants.)

After coffee and toast, I think you need to tackle "War is a Science" from "Pippin".

Hey Heidi,

I *loved* that. Quite clever.

Considering I'm quite happy to admit that at least one of my major fanfics is a HPisation of the love square from Chess, this makes you look sane.

Although US version? Bah.

*sigh* Heidi, you delinquent. Fewer elephants, more bylaws. You are turning me into such a nag.

I loff Chess. Do other songs. *G*

*giggles* Very clever. Off to download, see if it's worth buying. Of course, seeing as how this Dallas, the UK version will be next-to-impossible to find. Le sigh.
