Noble Collection Harry Potter Chess Set Novels & Stories

I glanced down at the table, unable to hold his intent gaze and my eyes fell upon the chess board that had been set in the middle. Curiosity alighted in my gaze as I took the set in; a beautiful work of art that had each piece cut so uniquely and precisely— like little humans instead of the normal chess pieces I saw. It looked carved from wood but I couldn't be too certain, not until I held it within my fingers. The pieces were a deep burgundy underneath but they were painted over with reds, blues, and whites that firmly indicated their role in the game. The King and Queen, Bishops, Knights, and pawns, all had detailed, figurine features and we're quite easily discernible. One side wore whit

Free at last, I slipped away in my Silver Moonlight SUV, setting the GPS for a part of the Northern Territory I had never explored: the Moonlight Antiquities Market. The market was a maze of weathered stalls and small shops, each filled with treasures from various eras. I wandered among them, searching for something that would speak to me—something worthy of Eleanor Morgan. That's when I saw it—an international chess set with pieces carved from moonstones and rare woods that would resonate with werewolf senses. The board itself was inlaid with silver and obsidian, creating a striking contrast that would appeal to my grandmother's aesthetic sensibilities. Without hesitation, I spent a signifi

His dark hair was slicked back with too much product, and his expression was twisted into something ugly and possessive. But he wasn't alone. Behind Marco stood an elderly man who could only be Chairman Blackwell. I had seen pictures of him in business magazines and news articles, but seeing him in person was different. He was tall, though age had stooped his shoulders slightly, with white hair and sharp features that were softened by wrinkles. He wore a dark suit that spoke of old money and power, and he carried a cane with a silver handle that looked more decorative than functional. His eyes, still sharp despite his age, swept the room with keen intelligence.

Still, I could feel the presence of whatever I'd stepped on. I looked down and saw a small black object on my floor, partially hidden in the shadows near my front door. My eyebrows pinched together with curiosity as I crouched down to get a closer look, my heart already starting to race with a mixture of dread and recognition. It was a chess piece, carved from what looked like expensive black wood, the details of a knight clearly visible even in the dim light coming through my windows. A black knight.

Opening the chess set, Lucian said without skipping a beat, "You're being too modest, Mr. Jacquez. You're still in your prime, so how could you say you're old?" Hugo glanced at the set of chess. This was beyond decent—it's magnificent. The chess pieces were gleaming with grace. He was bewildered. Stretching out his hand, Hugo closed the set of chess and pushed it back to Lucian. "Mr. Northwood, you might as well just go straight to the point. I don't feel quite right when you behave like this." "Is the Jacquez Group still interested in the project you proposed previously?" Hugo was speechless.

He stepped between us to pluck the ring from Avery's fingers before she could slide it on. He studied it, turning it every which way, even holding it up to the fluorescent lights in the ceiling. "How did he manage that?" "Manage what?" I asked, a sinking pit growing in my stomach. "I told you my magic is based around Earth, right? Well, metal and gemstones are as much a part of earth as plants are. But what I see here is - I just can't figure out how a Necromancer could possibly produce a Witch's spell as intricate as this."

"Of course. You must be careful. They must be looking for the Grail of Immortality and Youth that disappeared a long time ago and I don't think they've ever performed a ritual with it. While they only have the chalice of flames." The chalice of Immortality, that's what was kept in the secret room. Chaz was right, those mystical grails were indeed the most sacred objects for the black magic world. Elgar and Kathleen began to prepare everything before heading to the witches' hideout. Kathleen is very good at making potions, and I didn't expect her to find such a deadly poison. I guess they really wanted to use their abilities to do good. "Do you trust them now?" I asked Alden as the two of the

Then, after a brief pause, he added, "Except marry you." He said it with such earnestness, as though trying to present himself as a man of integrity. But too bad, I wasn't impressed. "Those diamond earrings you bought at the auction yesterday—I like them. Have them delivered to me by tomorrow morning." The earrings, which Zach had splurged a fortune on, were reportedly meant as a gift for his fiancée, Wynona Fletcher. I wondered how certain people might react if they saw them dangling from my ears. Zach hesitated.

Everyone cheered. Dhruv, Namit, Nikhil, and Riddhi were gathered to help me ace in the basketball for the upcoming inter-school competition. Nikhil and Namit were the captain and vice-captain of the team. Riddhi was from the girl's team but was helping me practice as I was new. I did know the basics of basketball but wasn't any pro. My interest lied in Chess more. The reason why I was pulled into the team was that a prominent player of the basketball team had fallen ill and the team was void of a player.

However, her face brightened as she cooed, "Candice, your son is so lucky. He's born with a silver spoon in his mouth!" I gazed lovingly at my newborn son. "Lucas deserves nothing but the best, and I'll make sure of that." Her eyes flickered with triumph and resentment as she asked, "How wonderful that he's already the Summers Group's little heir. He'll take over the company when he's of age!" I gave her a cool glance that made her shrink back. "Yes, I'll transfer all my shares to him when he comes of age." Zayn, who had just rushed in from an online meeting, exchanged knowing looks with Yvonne, both wearing smug smiles. Lucas grinned his toothless smile, and I was so enchanted that I did no
