one-level deceptions, two-level deceptions, and so on. So either
Severus was in fact modeling Harry as a one-level player, which made
Severus himself two-level, and Harry's three-level move had been
successful; or Severus was a four-level player and wanted Harry to
think the deception had been successful. Harry, smiling, had asked
Professor Quirrell what level he played at, and Professor Quirrell,
also smiling, had responded, One level higher than you.)
