It appears that the practice exams are paying off. Well done, everyone. Those of you who have paid attention to your work during the past few months (even granting that doing so has probably required the patience of a saint) should have no trouble getting high marks in this course.

The Ministry requires me to mention that there will be anti-cheating measures in place as you all take your final exams. OWL and NEWT students will receive their exams in the Great Hall at the designated times, while other classes will take their finals in the usual classroom. You will not need this year's textbooks after your test. I advise each of you, though, to retain your syllabary and add to it when appropriate. You never know when you'll need the right magic word -- in any language.

Should there be any questions, I will be in my office most evenings.

And spend the remainder wandering the halls, no doubt. Pfah. There'll be enough of that to go around once the school year ends. ..Is there nobody in this castle with time for a simple game of draughts?

[[/private]]


*while in the interim, Marco the cat has no compunction about wandering the halls -- preferably with something small and warm-blooded dangling from his jaw: in this case, a small Puffskein which doubtless belongs to somebody or other*


[[Yet another stopgap post. Strikes illegible; the Puffskein could be anyone's; and as usual, if your character is in Bob's class, please comment to say how they do on their final exam!

Bob's class has proceeded as usual during the gap in posting.]]

Draughts? I haven't played in ages. My exams are done for the day- if you want, maybe I could play with you?

*surprised, but pleased to have something to do besides paperwork*

A distinct pleasure, Miss Amane. Secondary staff room? There's a good set there, if Marco hasn't scattered the pieces again.

You and every other student -- save a few of the Ravenclaws, perhaps. *waves her over to the shelf with the board and pieces* If you'd be so kind as to set up...?

Ah, yes, of course. *takes the board down carefully, and sets it up on a nearby table. Although it really has been quite some time since she last played, she's pleased to see that she still remembers where the pieces go. Turning back to Bob, she asks* Which color do you want, Professor?

Red, if you don't mind. *tilts head, recalling Daisya's trouble with his color-blindness and how he had to mark the pieces -- fortunately the green pieces have been replaced with black ones since then*

I've never heard of this game you speak of, I think you made it up so you could win at something.

*GROANS at the nickname* Well, that one's new...

Checkers, for your information, were called draughts back in my day: from the Middle English draught, 'to pull' (as in a plough).

Yea, yea, we all get it. You're ancient and pretend to be very, very smart. But checkers, that is a game of skill! I would wipe the floor with your ghostly face.

*hacked likewise, snorts* No pretense about it, my dear lady.

..It is indeed a game of skill. And one that I have played for centuries to not ungratifying effect. *and there's a spark of challenge in his eyes for those present to see it*


[[XDDDD Ah, Vala, never change. *trying to decide whether Bob is as good at checkers as he thinks he is*]]

*yawns and picks at her ear in a bored way* Oh, I'm sorry, are you quite done telling me how great you are or would you like to continue? Of course, there is an easy way to settle this.

[[XDDDD I think Im gonna put my student, Tomo, in Bob's class too. Cause he doesn't have near enough trouble XD]]

Certainly not. Gambling is the wretched scrabbling of a fool for a prize he does not deserve. What sort of wager?

Draughts is a form of checkers, with slightly different rules.
