King's Cross.
Bear in mind, as it is August, Barrington-Parker rule set is in effect. Double plays are legal where applicable.

Platform Nine and Three Quarters, right hand side.
Lateral moves are legal, but left-side lateral shunts invoke a reversal.

Okay. That makes my next move all to obvious. Although I -could- do a parallel switch, I'm interested in seeing what you do with an easy move.
Hogsmeade Train Station.

Of course, that leaves me with an obvious choice, but I don't think I'll take the bait this time.
Double move, Three Broomsticks --> Shrieking Shack.
Werewolf encounter, lateral moves invalid.

That leaves me little choice to play into your hand...
or so you think. I invoke the Pertham Paragraph (Daily Prophet, March 1978), which allows me a reversal move through the secret tunnel past the Whomping Willow.
Greenhouse one.

*sigh* Since floos were outlawed in the Aberdeen-Angus debates of 1983, I'll have to go with a right hand lateral.

What none of you are counting on is the underhanded but entirely legal inversion of the Hagrid's Hut matrix. Which, obviously, is my move.

Yes! You just outlawed the Pinkyhunk rule.
That means I get double points, which, obviously, means I get to double move.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! This is getting tricky.
Okay, left-side lateral shift.
Scarlet Chamber
Good luck beating the Cornish Convention's "Pixie Preference" statement.

Ouch! All right...this calls for certain risks.
In full compliance with the established exceptions, and being that it is NOT currently the full moon, I choose the trap door to the Shade Corridor.
Being that it IS a trap door, this does of course nullify Rak's double points and halves what Tsunami gains on his next move.

Bah. You little rat. What you didn't consider, though, is that the fourth move of the game included a monster attack. Sure, your move's full valid. But if you had read up on your revisions (Bertram/House '92), you'd have known that it does entitle me to a full reversal. Passing by the Scarlet Chamber again, I do a parallel shunt to Ravenclaw Common.

Hmm...novice here, but I'll make a move!
I'm going to put some lives on the line and apply the Jasper Jump (first used by Jasper Juniper in 1812) and take this to the History of Magic room.
