AN: Hey guys. This is only my second story and I am really going to need help. My other story is for the PJO/HOO series. This is my first Harry Potter story so it will probably be a little weird at the beginning in the first few chapters. Please be patient with me as I write this story because I kinda suck at making a regular update schedule. We will just have to see how this turns out. If I get positive reviews, I will continue with the story. If there are bad reviews, I will continue with the story because I will ask for any criticism to be constructive. I don't really have anything else to add to this note so I will leave you to read the chapter.

Disclaimer: I am not Joanne Rowling and I do not own the Harry Potter series or anything to do with it. The only thing that I own is the ideas behind this fanfiction story, and any original characters that I choose to add.

The Realization

James POV (first person. sorry)

After Wormtail left, I just couldn't help but realize how differently he had been acting. Yes, he does act weird sometimes, but he was acting more off of the norm tonight when he was near Harry.

"James, love. What seems to be the matter? You normally aren't this tense after Peter leaves the house. Do you want me to contact Padfoot by way of the floo?"

"I would rather appreciate that. Thank you Lily. Could you please contact Moony as well, and have them both come here? I need to have a conversation with them, and it has to happen immediately."

Only my wife can tell when something is bothering me when none of the other three marauders are near me.

Being as it is that I am deep in thought, I am rather surprised when I suddenly hear my two best friends, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, talking to Lily while walking into the room. When I see them, I instantly get up and walk over to them while brandishing my wand.

"James! I already made sure as they stepped out of the fireplace! You don't need to check them because I already did." Thank merlin I have an amazing wife.

"I'm sorry for scaring you Lily. Just making sure it was them." I said while putting my wand back in its holster.

"Honestly Prongs. Did you really think that your wife forgot to do the magical check? You know that polyjuice potion doesn't work for people trying to turn into Remus." Sirius said while chuckling. I mentally slapped myself for forgetting that.

"Sorry Padfoot. Sorry Moony. I'm just on edge is all. Anyway, what I need to talk to you guys about is something that I never wished to talk about. You should be here for this discussion as well Lily. This is that important."

When I saw the looks of confusion on the faces of my two best friends and my wife, I couldn't help but let out a sigh. "It concerns Wormtail. He has been acting more peculiar than normal, and I don't think that he can be trusted anymore. He was looking at us with fake pity and it was really giving me cause for concern. It was almost like he wanted him to win the war. This leads me to believe that he has turned traitor on us, and has told You-Know-Who about where we are living now. We need to figure out a way to get to a different safe house somewhere."

I could tell that all of them were shocked by my news, but there is no denying the fact that Peter Pettigrew isn't as faithful as he looks. Especially now with the way that he was acting tonight. I almost didn't see the look that Sirius and Remus exchanged with each other.

"What you just said is true, and Wormtail has betrayed us. We need to act quickly. Wormtail can't be trusted anymore." There is a reason that I asked for Remus to be here. That reason is because of the way that he deducts things.

"I knew that this would happen sooner or later. I couldn't trust him too much at school. Now that my beloved son is in danger, all respect that I had for him is now gone. James love, I will leave it to you to contact Albus and arrange for room to be made for us at Hogwarts. I will pack up everything that we will need while Sirius takes care of Harry and keeps him entertained. Remus, could you be so kind as to search for Wormtail? We need to do this quickly gentlemen."

As I listened to my wife speaking, I was already making my way to my study to send a patronus to the headmaster of Hogwarts. This has to be taken care of immediately.

AN: So there you have it. The first chapter of this story. I really need to do more writing, and the only way to do that is to write. If the story isn't to your liking, I am deeply sorry. I will see you in the next update.
