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 shook 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.
