Growing Up As He Should

Decisions and Allies

James was sitting in his office. Things were changing. After his talk with the Greengrasses he was even more determined. James was never the epitome of a light wizard. No. James has always been a little bit Grey. Maybe it was time for him to embrace his more darker side.

He looked out of the window, towards the garden where his Son, Godson and nephews were playing, completely carefree.

For their future. For their safety. For them. He would do anything and everything for them. If being Grey and change sides is the only way, then James would do it. It was time to accept his origin. He might be able to hide his true magic and his true core from others, but Sirius and Remus knew. Yes.

It is time for the Wizarding World to meet the real James Potter.

"Padfoot, Moony. A word please." James called from the door. The Marauders nodded and followed him.

He was standing in frond of his office. Sirius and Remus were sitting on the chairs, looking at their best friend. "Prongs?" Sirius was the first to break the silence. James turned to look at them and they both sucked a deep breath. James had unleashed his true magic. Whisps of dark Red strands covered the office, James's eyes were glowing Gold. The power was making it hard to breath. "Boys. I've made my decision. We will not hide anymore. Albus and Voldemord made the mistake to attack my family. It is time for the Wizarding World to meet the true Marauders. They messed with the wrong family. As my grandfather used to say ' Family above all.' Are you with me brothers?".

Sirius said nothing. He stood up and unleashed his true magic. Grey strands danced with the existing Red, making a beautiful dark rose color. His eyes glowed like a frozen sea. Both then looked at the last person in the room.

Remus smirked and stood up. He unleashed his magic. Dark blue strands danced with the Grey and Red. His eyes glowed Gold. Their magic combined, and danced around the room. "We are with you brother. Till the very end."

"I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good"

They needed Allies. But where to find them. Sure they had the Greengrasses but they needed more. Maybe they could pull a few people from the order, or even.... Maybe the Dark sect. The problem was that they've lost way too many people.

"Okey. Let's start with those we already know." Remus took his wand and started writing in the air. "Alright we obviously have the Greengrasses, the Weasleys, The Lovegoods, the Longbottoms, Amelia Bones. Who else?" Sirius answered "I could try talking to Andromeda. But do not expect much."

"Moony what about Creatures?" Remus looked at his friend. "Maybe. But the werewolves are on Voldemord's side." James smirked. "Are they?" Remus looked at him weird. "What do you mean Prongs?"

Sirius widened his eyes. Yup his best friend is bat shit crazy. "Well Moony. You are a werewolf. Correct?" Remus nodded. "And last time I checked, who was the one that turned you?" Remus's eyes were wide as sausages. "Fenrir Grayback. What are you on James?" Remus was pretty sure that his friend had lost his mind.

"What if I told you that we could help you kill Fenrir Grayback? You want revenge, don't you Moony?" James had a predatory smile on his face. One that promised chaos, mischief and trouble. It was the same smirk he had every time he proposed a new prank.

"Yes..."

"Great. Tell me, since he is the one that turned you, doesn't that make you his beta?"

"Yes"
