It had never occurred to you to follow the path of the Marauders, you were occasionally impulsive, sometimes hotheaded, regularly stupid, often reckless and always like your father, but it never occurred to you to try and be like the Marauders.
Subconsciously, you were afraid of trying and failing to be as good as your father and his friends were, but on the surface you had too much of your mother in you to ever be anything like the Marauders.
Yes, of course you were reckless, of course you played the hero, you were the one that defeated the darkest wizard who ever lived, but somehow, you weren't quite like them. Of course you took after them – one of them was your father and two of them were two of the biggest role models in your life. But you were never anything like the Marauders.
Because you had too much of your mother in you to ever be a bully.
