Usually Cash played chess against Seneca or against his father; this tournament was unusual for him. He hadn't played chess frequently in Hogwarts. He wouldn't have played it frequently now, except that he needed something to do during his weekly lunches with Lucius, and he was confident that neither of them wanted to spend that time talking.
He'd played the new sponsor for the Hogsmeade Howlers in the first round. Cash was more comfortable conversing with Ford, which meant that this round promised to be enjoyable. Cash was considering his first move when he heard patron and made a face. It took him a beat to figure out what Ford meant; he placed his piece before responding.
"Sponsor," he supplied, "You played Gallivan?"
He was... not sure how he felt about that.
