A/N: I have to give special thanks to my dear Jess, without her and her knowledge of chess last few chapters wouldn’t be possible. <3
Letters follow the developments from the books/movies and they are canon compliant ;)
Large Eagle owl found him in the middle of the deserted road. Nasty bird nearly bit out his finger delivering the letter. He frowned recognizing the handwriting
“My friend (?),
You told me I betrayed you. Maybe I did, it made me think - what is a betrayal? I am the man who has nothing to lose. If I do not have a heart, or a soul to betray what is left? Betrayal of the flesh perhaps?
We both know who, what am I, so how I can betray you then. Yet, I have no regrets, nothing to be ashamed off for doing a favour. I always knew where my loyalty lies, do you?
When we meet again, if you still think that we are on opposite sides, for your sake and mine, I truly hope that I indeed will be a dead man (they say in death all lies turn to truth).
Still yours faithful,
S.S.
P.S.: Pawn to D5 - you lose your knight.”
Lupin was confused beyond anything. He did not expect a reply to his letter little alone this. What is going on with him? Did he completely lose his mind?
“Friend sad.”
“He does not regret what he did. He didn’t even try to negate what he did. He admits the killing and not regretting it.”
“Friend warn us.”
“He is not our friend.” screamed
“My friend, our friend. Play game or I play.” growled the Wolf. Remus screamed a scream of frustration and despair. Why did the Wolf put so much trust into a … murder … was beyond him? Realizing that he is talking to himself and screaming in the middle of the road he sighed.
“I do look like a crazy person.”
“Write a letter.”
“I will. I can’t understand why what do you still see in him.”
“A friend care for us. Friend told me dark time come ‘take care of the boy’. We part wolf, wolf loyal to a pack. Friend loyal to a pack. Friend important. I protect.”
“He killed…” sobbed
“Gray wise one, yes. Not sorry, not a friend. Spider. Spiders die, net stays.”
“I…”
“Write the letter.”
“All right, I will write the stupid letter.” growled, deciding that he talked to himself long enough he continue to walk.
Next note arrived at burrow, almost at the same time as they did
“Trust me or not. For Fred - Vulnera Sanentur drag your wand over the wound.”
He looked at letters, waved his head and headed to the room was Fred was lying, bleeding from the wound. He could not afford to ponder on mixed feeling at that moment.

Lupin’s letter reached him in the Hogwarts, long after he deduced that Remus is angry enough not to answer.
“He trusts you, I don’t. One day you will pay. R.L.
P.S.: He won’t let me quit. Quinn to D7 - your bishop is mine now.
P.S.S.: Thank you”
He let the letter fall on top of the large pile of paperwork. Pinching the root of his nose. Dumbledore’s portrait looked at him sympathetically.
“Bad news my boy?”
“Remus.”
“In time, he will understand.”
“Understand what Albus? What is to understand? There is no nice way to say it I am murder. There is nothing to understand.”
“A mercy killing.”
“It is still a murder.”
“What are you going to do?”
“What I must. Stupid mutt, he misunderstood. He wrote about the Wolf.” he waved his head, feeling prickling in his eyes ”I will show him the letter, tell him that werewolf is gone feral and of no use.”
“You are going to lose.”
“That was a long shot from the beginning. What do you suggest? To tell him about new potion?”
“You are annoyed, my boy.”
“I am tired Albus, tired of hatred, tired of … life.”
“Nonsense my boy, when all this is over your life will start.”
“Sometimes, old man, you are a blind as a bat. I have to go and report.” with heavy footsteps, he walked to the door ”Albus, keep me informed.”
The portrait nodded and he left the room, it was time for him to go in front of the Dark Lord and bring him bad news.

Months passed, Lupin was lost. Harry brushed him off, Dora and the baby were safe, safe because he was away from them. Sitting far away from the fire, far away from the group of rough werewolf group, he was looking at the night sky. Dark shade swooped over him, leaving a letter and black feather behind. He picked up the feather, recognizing it
“Henry” mussed under the breath, opening the letter with trembling hands looked at the short note ”Greasy git.”
“I always knew that you are idiot Lupin, now I know how much of an idiot you are. Coward.”
He looked at the note for a long time, risen and walked towards the fire. Time to go home purred the voice in his head.
Time passed again. The night before the battle he was sitting in the kitchen, Teddy was safe with Andromeda, he and Dora were talking when he heard tapping on the window. One of the Hogwarts owls was standing on the lid holding a letter. He fed her a treat, owl waited patiently.
“You are waiting for a reply?”
“Whoooooooo.” hooted bird softly
“All right, all right, give me a second.”
“Knight to D 7 - I take your queen. S.S.”
His eyes widened and hand began to shake.
“What is it, Remy?”
“He is sacrificing a remaining black knight. He is sacrificing himself.” tears started to sting in the corner of his eyes.
“Who is sacrificing himself? What are you talking about? Harry?”
“No Dora, not Harry. Severus.”
“That traitor!”
“I am not so sure anymore. Give me time to answer him and I will explain it to you everything. Dora…”
“Yes?”
“We are going to win.” he took a parchment and scribbled a note with shaking a hand, aware of his wife’s eyes burning a hole in his back, looking at him like he lost his mind. He gave a note to the owl.

The owl returned with a message. His left hand burned, the school was in chaos but he waited for that reply. He took the note opening it with anticipation
“My friend,
We had a deal, I am the one to judge you, remember? You won’t deny me of that, stay safe so I can face you. Just…stay safe.
R.L.
P.S.: Knight on E6”
He looked at the letter with awe. Fold it and placed with other letters, tying all of them with ribbon. He placed them in the strong metal cabinet next to the two Muggle notebooks. He closes the cabinet and wards it. Walked to the chess board and moved the piece knocking the remaining black knight down. He took the figurine and pocketed it.
“Checkmate” whispered
The alarm was echoing through the school, it was time for chaos to break loose.
