Summary
Chess pieces are only mourned for the loss of their value and availability, never for true concern over the piece. For the player, it is all simply a game. One designed for victory and self-validation. However, when the chess pieces cease to be on a chess board, and onto the world instead, one cannot so carelessly sacrifice them for a more favorable piece, or the King itself. Not without acknowledging that piece is a person, and the consequences that come with that sacrifice that wasn't the King's to make.
History is determined by the victors, and they denominate themselves as the good guys. However... There is always more than one and even two sides to the same story. The side of each and every piece. I will tell you the story of the Pawn turned Rook.
When the use of a time-turner to save Sirius Black and Buckbeak cause a momentary eye-contact between Willow's past and future self, visions of the chess game appear, and she is not pleased with the end result of the board, much less her place in it. Introducing the Chess Piece's Vengeance.

Summary
“I’ll admit. I’m impressed, though I do have about a million questions. First and foremost, how have I never seen you at St. Mungo’s while you’re testing and developing this stuff? Do I even want to know?”
Fred uncrossed his arms and smiled.
“Ha. Easy. We’ve developed our own remedies or mastered Healing spells for most standard burns, bruises, black eyes, hair regrowing emergencies, you name it.”
He was casual about it. This extraordinary show of magic from product ideation, to creation, to Healing - it was all remarkable. He shrugged it off as if it was another Friday evening for him. Maybe it was.
Hermione shifted on her feet. The tingling she felt in her chest as she looked up at Fred was back. It was a pesky sensation - fleeting over the years as she found herself in close proximity to this confident, buoyant, firecracker of a Weasley. Similar to George but miles apart at the same time. He made her catch her breath outright at times with his brilliance, his heart, and his ability to get under her skin.
