Del replies :
Well, I was thinking of something more *useful*, like something in the
war. I mean, *Quidditch* ?!

Del replies :
All right, it could work. But I notice a couple of things that please
me very much.

Del replies :
Well, neither are Harry and Hermione then. Towers and bishops are not
kings.

Del replies :
Does that mean that it was Ron as a knight who was taking pieces, or
Ron as the leader of the game ? In either case, he's showing himself
to be very useful, either as a soldier or as a strategist. I think
that *there* is the Big Act that I'm asking for Ron, the thing in
which he will prove himself.
