Somewhere in the middle of the night, both Snape and Remus were in a deep slumber, unaware that Albus crept into the room again. Snape was sleeping with his back leaned at the wall, book in one hand, the other hand was resting on werewolf’s back, tucked into the fur. Remus was lying half on the duvet and half on the stone floor, sleeping soundly. Old wizard smiled, raised his wand and remove the binding spell. Quietly he left the room again.

Remus woke up feeling uncomfortably cold from the waist down; something heavy was pressing his back. Looking around he noticed that his head is near someone’s leg, not moving, not fully realizing what‘s going on he slowly backed away. The hand that was pressing his back, slid to the ground. Straightening in sitting position, his mind still foggy, Remus tried to remember. Suddenly, his back stiffened as he started to recall bits and pieces from last night.
Spinning around to see if Snape was still alive. A sigh of relief escaped his lips as he noticed that the other man is merely sleeping. He stood up and walked to the place where his clothes were, dressed and sit on the ground, looking at Snape slumbering. He could wake him up but he needed time to think, wondering if he should feel angry or happy. Angry at Snape and Dumbledore for pulling this insane stunt. Happy that Snape is unharmed. Wondering if anyone else in Snape’s place could say the same.
“Nothing happened, as I knew it would not.” Snape’s voice echoed through the room, startling him. Snape was awake and stretching as he stood up
“What you did…if you were wrong…”
“I am rarely wrong Lupin…”
“And last night I was Remus.”
“…as I said, before you interrupted me, I am rarely wrong. I was in no danger from you.” snapped Snape at him.
“Wouldn’t bet on being in no danger from me now.” growled ”I do not appreciate you playing with my skin like that. If I have bit you if I attacked you…”
“I would survive; I had Albus as protection and the link.”
“You would still be cursed and I’d be in Azkaban.”
“I stuck my hand in your cage for past 4 full moons, if you were out to bite me I’d be joining you in that cage a long time ago” Snape was cold, with an annoyed look on his face. He walked out of the cage, took his wand and lowered the wards. “How do you feel?”
“I can walk. Bit of sleep and I can hold my afternoon classes. Whatever you did with the potion, I don’t feel so tired after transformation anymore.” he stood up following Snape to his laboratory. Gulped the potions that Snape placed on the table.
“Yes, in many aspects I am satisfied how potion worked. No more tears and scarring. You are not dangerous, to me at least. In addition, you do not react to silver.”
“You cannot know that!” he protested, it was one to state the obvious but another to claim something based on the theory. Snape looked at him with raised eyebrow
“And when did I claimed something like that?” voice was a low hiss, Snape stepped toward him and suddenly Remus felt the urge to back away. Snape was still fixating his eyes, he slowly raised a left hand. Remus gasped; on Snape’s middle finger was a silver ring.
“Did you completely lost your mind!!? To enter in my cage, that alone was insane enough but that…that…. How Albus even agreed to that?”
“Albus gave me a certain amount of autonomy. This was my decision.”
“You…you…”
“Me? Go to bed Remus. What was done - is done.” Snape turned his back and walked to the table covered with books and scrolls.
Remus sighed, feeling slightly dizzy he went to his bed but sleep didn’t come to him. His mind was rushing, still panicking in the prospect what could happen last night.
“Friend was safe,” reassured his voice in his head
“Was he?” mumbled under his breath
“Not going to harm a friend.”
“I know. But…”
“I knew he had a ring. Seen the ring. Allowed the ring.” Remus gasped ”Rest now.” finally he closed his eyes and dozed off.

“I do not believe I approved that Severus. In fact, I most certainly would not agree to it. If I only knew…”
“If you knew Albus, you would overreact. You would startle him and place me in real danger.” sighed, he did expect reaction but Albus was downright angry ”Would you prefer me strolling in the cage with a silver knife, not knowing…”
“Silver knife? Severus!”
“Albus if your assumptions are correct, and somehow they always are, what do you think would happen? If he really would need protection as much as you think… No one will pet him with silver, be sure of that.”
“But to harm him…” Albus shook his head ”Do you think that is smart?”
“It is necessary. And I have a month to convince Lupin in the same. Provided I get your support.”
“Do you have any more test?”
“No, that is the last one. If things go as planned, I will be free from his presence.” he almost smiled at the thought. ”For over a month, he is using pure silver when we dine. Not that he is aware.”
“Don’t you think he should know?”
“Why would he?” he looked at old man ”If you decided to stick to MY plan, he would not know, not even half what he knows now.”
“Why do you think I changed your plans, Severus?” Albus smiled, offering him more tea. He refused, standing up
“I have no idea, besides annoying me, placing me in the position of discomfort.” sighed ”I do not desire to be inside your head Albus, too many intrigues, even for an ex-Death Eater.”
“Always, so honest in face of others Severus, yet full of secrets.”
“No one ever believes in truth Albus, you thought me that. Most of the times easiest way to lie is simply to tell a truth.” he was near the door when Albus called him again
“Severus, did you manage to become friends?”
“No, but he does try to force that notion to me.”
“Why?”
“I have no knowledge of what is going on in his head as much as I know what is going on in yours.”
“Why are you so against forming a friendship with him?”
“He is a beast and I have no use of friends.”
“Is that a truth Severus?” he turned his head and looked at old wizard
“What do you think?” not waiting for a reply he walked through the door Let him draw his own conclusions, he would do that anyway.
He strides along the corridors, frowning at students. He did lie to Dumbledore; there was one more test, the final test before he puts his head in a bag one more time. Entering his classroom, he saw few Slytherin’s waiting for him, arranging the times when they can come and talk to him, Snape finally reached his quarters. Pinching a root of his nose at the sight of essays, he had to go through. He tossed a look at another table with a research paper and groaned. Balancing a teaching, schools schedules, obligatory staff meetings, weekly essay assignments, brewing and now pointless research, the constant presence of Lupin and his own private research started to take its toll on him. With no potions to keep him going, he felt tired.
Sorting and prioritizing his tasks, he grumbled, with such a busy schedule he had to cut down his own research in potions. Along with some commissions: Not that old man would find anything wrong with that. Sighed, he had his heart set on one of the rare tomes, with few commissions he could obtain them. Instead, he was stuck with waste and borrowed, a collection of books on Garden gnomes.
He finally managed to go through all essays and he was just going through one of the boring scrolls when Blaise Zabini run into his workroom. Blood was gushing from his nose. With a sigh, he stepped behind his desk to meet the boy.
“What happened?”
“My bose is bowken.” mumbled a boy, Snape removed his hand from the face and observed the damage.
“It is not broken. Who did that to you?” asked, the boy just looked at the ground. He grunted when Lupin chose that moment to barge in
“Severus, where is the….” he stopped talking seeing the student
“Lupin, not now.”
“Can I help?”
“Yes, find something to entertain yourself while I handle this.”
“If I may be of any assistance…”
“Blaise, did student from other house did this to you?” he asked and boy waved his head still looking at the floor” No, Lupin you may not assist. This is a house problem.”
Lupin lingered for a short while and he closed his eyes counting If he does not get lost soon I will hex him out. As soon as Lupin left the room, he turned to a boy
“So, who did it? Now Zabini I do not have the whole day.”
“Pantsy sir.” muffed
“What hex did she used?”
“…”boy mumbled something
“Repeat, so I can hear you this time.”
“Her brist” coughed boy and he fought a laugh
“All right, go to Madam Pomfrey, she will stop the bleeding.” boy nodded and walked off
“Blaise!” he called a boy when he was on the door ”Do not engage in an open fist fight if you are not sure you can win. And, do not attack the girls just because you think they are weaker. I hope you learned your lesson.” boy nodded and run out. He waited a while before he starts laughing. Then he suddenly stopped and walked to the common room.
Murmur in the room stopped, students fell silent looking at him. They were the only students that did not look at him with fear but respect. He cleared his throat
“Miss. Parkinson, my office. Now.” he felt almost proud as the girl stood up, looking at him with determination, sticking her chin out proudly.
“I have nothing to say or hear that can’t be said here, sir.”
“What happened?” he pinched root of his nose as the room exploded in a cacophony of noise, ”I ASKED MISS. PARKINSON!” bellowed and the room fell silent once more ”I am waiting.”
“He insulted me, sir.” girl answered
“Did he attack you?”
“No, he said that I should consider myself lucky if any boy asks me out, sir.”
“And you hit him?” gasped
“No, I hit him when he told me that my options are diminished to Potter or Weasley, sir.” for the second time today he started to count, calming himself down he nodded ”That is a strong insult, understandable. Miss. Parkinson, I advise you that next time use your brain instead of your fists. Do not embarrass our house anymore with mindless violence.”
The girl nodded and muttered ”Yes, sir” but her chin quivered. He turned on his heel and left the room before he lost his nerve and actually consoled the girl. He walked through workroom and into his quarters.
“You wanted something Lupin.” asked
“I think that you are not interested in working on our paper anymore.” smiled Lupin
“No, indeed I am not.”
“Chess?”
“Yes, I would prefer a game of chess.” he smiled.

Remus sighed; their research was in full stop. Somehow, it was obvious that they cannot find the solution, that solution lied in Pomona and Filius respective fields. But for some reason, they still keep up with pretences and continued. He sighed again Where is that scroll? Severus must have it in his workroom.
He walked into the room to find Snape and one of his students. The boy had a bloody nose. After his offer for help refused by Snape in a rude fashion, he lingered a bit wondering. Seeing Snape with his students, after all this time he spent in Snape’s quarters, remembering how many times calls echoed from workroom in all times day and night. Snape seemed so out of his usual self with these kids. He would jump and meet every call. He would give advice or comfort them. Knowing a surly Potion Master better now, he could notice the small twitches of self-control in Snape. He blinked away the image, vividly played in his mind, of Snape actually hugging a student in a fatherly manner. Snape growled and he left the room.
Walking back in living area, he banished the mess from the worktable. He would love to go out and take a stroll by the lake but that was impossible. Trying to find something to amuse himself, he turned his attention to items that replaced a collection of torturing devices on the wall. The majority were books and more scrolls, some of them looking ancient and rare. An expensive antique chess set with still ongoing game draw his attention. He stared at the pieces playing the game to the finish in his mind. Reluctant to touch the chess board, partially because it was placed under the strong protective charm. With whom do you play this game? he wondered.
He walked to the armchair and sat in it, looking at the fire. As much as he knew now about Snape, the man was still a mystery to him. A nagging voice in his sounded repetitive in his mantra ”trust the friend” and nothing more. Feeling much like his old self lately Remus started to question his inclination to befriend Snape. He nearly jumped when Snape’s voice rumbled
“You wanted something Lupin.”
“I think that you are not interested in working on our paper anymore.” he smiled
“No, indeed I am not.”
“Chess?”
“Yes, I would prefer a game of chess.”
Snape looked tired beyond reason. Listening, he could hear slow and suffocated heartbeats, as if the man was carrying some heavy load. Remus started to worry. Snape did not take any potions save from those to heal himself and for the first time he wondered, did he denied him of something he used in days like this. Snape slumped in the armchair, tossing out his robe and coat.
“Do you want us play a new game or we could finish this one.” suggested, he ached to play at least once with the antique set.
“Do not even dare to touch that chess set” Snape was suddenly standing with a wand in his hand ”Touch it and I will turn you into a pile of ashes.”
Snape's demeanour was treating, sucking up all warmth from the room; he felt a need to cast a Patronus charm. Pulling back from the antique set, he raised his hands defensively
“I didn’t touch it. Just a suggestion.”
“Bring the old set here and do not even dare to touch that one.” hissed Snape and sat back. With a sigh, he took the old chess set lost in thoughts One more mystery to crack, there is not enough time in this lifetime. Why is that game so important? They sat the game and his sullen companion played half-heartedly in silence.
It was second game that evening, when other fireplace erupted in flames, head of Lucius Malfoy emerged
“Severus,” called Malfoy, Snape nearly jumped from his chair, giving him a signal to be quiet and stay put, he called
“Lucius, what pleasant surprise. To what I owe the pleasure?”
“We are having a party in the manor, I thought you might want to join us, Severus.”
“I would love to; sadly, I will not be able to Lucius. You know as well as I do that I cannot socialize with you. Not for another four years.”
“Nonsense Severus, I am a member of the board.”
“And are the other professors invited?” smirked Snape” As long as I am a professor and your sons Head of House, I am afraid that I am not able to indulge in social pleasantries.”
“Such a shame.” sighed Malfoy ”I’ve heard of your…the predicament, Severus”
“Then you know how busy my schedule is.”
“Yes. I will send you another bottle of Ogden’s new batch just arrived.”
“I would not go that far, you know I do not like to drink more than a glass of vine.”
“Alright, then I’ll choose one of the bottles from my cellar. I take it that Draco is doing fine.”
“He is a true Malfoy,” replied Snape cruelty
“Always a stickler for rules Severus.”
“Thank you for invitation Lucius, I have to return to my project now, I am sorry for cutting this conversation short.”
“I understand. Then, another time perhaps?”
“Most certainly. Do convey my regards to Narcissa.”
“I will.” with that Malfoy’s head disappeared. Snape was still standing in front of the fireplace as if he was suspecting that he would reappear again. Remus was looking at the fire, feeling uncomfortable. Snape’s demeanour was completely different from what he would expect. The tone was light, friendly and distant. From what he just heard, sounded as Snape and Malfoy were close, and yet, Snape was distant. Never even cracking a notion of a smile. Snape returned to the game, but until the end of the evening, he wore a frown wedged between his brows.
