Chapter 81: A difficult decision

Remus ended up staying for an entire week after that.

Harry had one the best birthdays of his two lifetimes.

Remus gave him the Nimbus 2100 prototype he was given by the company but made him promise to not show the broom around until it came out for sale in September.

They were sad that he could only stay one week, but he had more business to attend as well as make preparations for his next business trip, this time he was going to France.

The night after his uncle Remus left. His father called for him.

It seems that he and his mother had something important to discuss.

"Take a seat, son." James looked somewhat serious.

"Did something happen?." He wondered if those Deatheaters had decided to make any moves.

"No, is nothing like that." His father clarified.

Harry sat down next to his mother and she started to talk.

"We spent a bit of time talking with Remus during his visit. As you probably already know. After graduating from Hogwarts, your father, his closest friends, and I were invited to join a secret order tasked with aiding against the threat of Voldemort." Lily finished saying and waited for his reaction.

His reason for not wanting to work with the old man came mostly from his bitter feelings of having been manipulated into following his plans...even if his goal was a good one.

But he cannot deny them a powerful ally for a reason like that one. He can not allow his personal feelings to get in the way.

"Would you be telling him the same that you told Remus?" Harry asked.

"We will have to polish the details, but yes. Does this mean that you agree with this plan?" Asked Lily.

Harry nodded.

"As Dad said, it is the most logical step...just, don't let him manipulate you to do something you don't want to do. Dumbledore may not be a bad person but he only sees the big picture, like a chess board, with pieces on each side. And you can't win a game without sacrificing a few pieces."

"I'm glad to hear that. You can enjoy your school year in peace. If something important comes up, we'll tell you about it." James promised.

"What do you mean by enjoying my school year? I want to help too." Said Harry.

"But what about Hogwarts?" Asked Lily.

"I can skip a few classes if necessary." Harry shrugged.

"And how do you plan on helping? Most of the work we can do right now is limited to observing and spying as well as some policy maneuvering at the Wizengamot." James asked with a knowing suspicion.

"You know what I can do...just find me where Parkinson and the others live and I'll take care of them," Harry said nonchalantly.

"Harry!" Lily shouted.

"That's what I was afraid of...Harry you can't go around playing vigilante anymore. We already discussed this!" James was furious.

"Harry you can't lower yourself to their level. I do not wish to see my son like that, please." Lily

Harry hated for his mother to look at him like that.

They went back and forth for over an hour and in the end, Harry had to make a concession and agree to do things their way for now.

What he did not tell me was that he was only willing to do this for as long as the real Voldemort didn't show up. If that were to happen and the threat level rose up, Harry would act in full force, no matter what they said or what they thought of him afterward.
