And Bruce Wayne is in front of him, crying.

Summary
Wizarding Chess & “There is strong shadow where there is much light.”
--He stands in a sun ray warbled by the dusty cathedral glass windows, haloed by inky hair and dust motes swimming in the light. His face is pale and wan, eyes smudged with purple bruises, but his stare is sharp and intent.
“Nott,” Potter says, warily. The caution is all Slytherin, though he should know better than to show it. Potter has good instincts, but they’ve quite clearly been blunted in Gryffindor. In Slytherin, they would be refined to a sharp edge.
Theo gestures in a lazy circle around the chessboard and the pieces fly back into marching position. “Care for a game?”
Potter squints. A cloud shifts over the sun and light flashes off his glasses, briefly obscuring his eyes. “I’m sure I’m no competition for you. But I suppose I have no reason to refuse.”
He pauses, then grins wryly, flourishing his own wand to rotate the chessboard, placing the white king on his side and leaving the black for Theo.
How droll.
