A/N: Surprised? So am I. So not gonna lie, I had planned to abandon writing fan fiction once I realized how much of my life it took up. Do you guys hate me? I would hate me. But after seeing all the reviews about updating the story I've decided to finish this last story. Sorry it took me two years. L

Blaise, Harry, and Draco all stared at Pansy. The horror that had been etched on her face was slowly fading and her face was becoming the usual stoic Slytherin mask. Neither of the boys were sure of anything they could say that might comfort her.

Harry was the first to move. He said nothing but he moved next to Pansy and pulled her into his arms, silently letting her know that it was alright for her to let go of her emotions. Blaise and Draco soon followed his motions and moved to comfort her silently.

However, Pansy stayed silent and impassive for several minutes. Harry could tell that her mask was slowly breaking. He could feel the sporadic trembles of her body as she tried to hold back the sorrow. Slowly tears started to leak out of her rapidly blinking eyes. As the minutes passed by, the silent tears gradually turned into heart wrenching sobs.

The boys occasionally muttered small words of comfort but for the most part stayed silent. Harry rubbed her back soothingly and they all watched as she let out all her sorrow till she seemed like she could barely move from the exhaustion. They continued to be silent, waiting for Pansy to be the first to speak, waiting for her to be ready. When she spoke, her voice was weak and carried sorrow but also determination in it.

"Harry," Pansy looked straight into Harry's eyes as she voiced her thoughts, "he can't be allowed to live any longer. All he does is cause destruction and sadness. You have to take him down, and soon. We have to start putting our plans for the grey side into action."

Harry nodded, completely understanding her emotions. When he spoke, his voice carried the same determination that Pansy's had but it also carried a hint of the power hidden away inside of him and wisdom that should be impossible to have at his age,

"I know. And I know exactly what we have to do first. We already have our own headquarters. What we need to do now is recruit a few people close to us that will be able to not only help us launch our side into the war but can help us with what we will need to do to finish this war fast and with the least amount of casualties possible."

Blaise, Pansy, and Draco all looked at Harry with awe. They had never heard this kind of determined power in his voice before. There had been plenty of times when his emotions got the better of him and he would show exactly how powerful he was, the weasel and mudblood being fine examples, but the power he held in his voice at this moment was completely different.

Years would pass and anybody who would ever get the privilege to hear Harry speak like this could only describe it as the voice of a true and powerful leader. It exhibited why so many people would be willing to follow such a young kid in such a dangerous world.

They nodded as they stared at Harry. Blaise was the first to speak after several minutes of silence in which Harry had been staring out the window, lost in thought.

"Like who?"

Harry looked over at his friends, his real friends, shocked out of his thoughts by Blaise's voice.

"For sure I know your cousins would be a wonderful help Blaise. And there's someone I think would be a great help but I'm not completely sure how he'll react to everything."

Draco, sensing Harry's discomfort, reached over and grabbed his hand to reassure him, "Who are you thinking of?"

"Remus."

They all stared at him in shock. Not only was Remus one of their past teachers but as far as they all knew, he was very much involved with the Order of the Phoenix.

"Lupin? Last years DADA professor? But he's on the side of the Light!" Draco exclaimed, completely bewildered.

"Yes him. And he's a special case. I know he never wanted to betray me and that he was kept in the dark just as much as I was."

The group looked at him doubtfully for a few seconds before deciding to trust his choice in Remus. The group looked thoughtful for various minutes as everyone thought over who they should invite to their side. Blaise was the first to speak up with a suggestion.

"Nia and Narls would do it for sure and I know their dad would also be up for it. He always thought Voldemort was off his rocker." Nia and Narls's mom had died giving birth to them and so their father was extremely protective over them. He wouldn't let them join the war without him.

"Yeah, Nia and Narls kept asking me if I was going to start my own side in the war over the summer. They had good ideas too."

"My uncle," Pansy's voice was soft but everyone heard her clearly, "he was married to my aunt… The one that Voldemort killed because of her disapproval. He'll do anything to get revenge for her… and for my father."

Everyone nodded and looked thoughtful. After a few seconds, Blaise, Pansy, and Harry all turned to look at Draco, the only one who had yet to suggest a person. Everyone knew he would be the trickiest. His family was tied to Voldemort more than the others. Many viewed Lucius as Voldemort's right hand man.

"My mom." Draco declared. His voice carried a mix of determination and pain.

"But your dad… Would she leave her husband behind?" asked Pansy as Blaise and Harry looked at Draco thoughtfully.

"My dad is no longer the man she married and fell in love with. His obsession with Voldemort and Voldemort's goals has changed him from the a loving and supporting husband and father into a man that no longer cares for his family and would sacrifice him if it was Voldemort's wish. My mother would no longer want to have her family torn apart."

It was silent for a few moments as everyone regarded Draco with sympathy but he kept his Slytherin mask up, refusing to exhibit the hurt he felt by being emotionally abandoned by his father. Harry reached over and grabbed Draco's hand and have it a reassuring and comforting squeeze.

"Okay, I think we should use this time to write letters to the people we have chosen. After that we can finish whatever homework we all have. This is going to be a busy week with school and organizing our side of the war."

Everyone nodded and it was only a few minutes before everyone was scribbling away to the people they had chosen. Unfortunately, they could not reveal any real information in the letters under the precaution that someone else might open it up and learn vital information that they agreed was best to be kept secret until the right moment. No one other than fellow members of the gray side could even know that Harry was going to lead another group of people to end the petty war.

All of them wrote about trying to establish a secret meeting to discuss important things and most of these meetings would have to take place outside of Hogwarts grounds. All except for the floo call that Harry would be making to Nia and Narls at their school. Fortunately Nia was also a Parseltongue and that would help with keeping their conversation private. She would relate the story to Narls.

The trickiest letter to write was Harry's to Remus. He had to make sure Remus didn't bring it up with anyone from the Order of the Phoenix. After many crumpled up pieces of parchment, Harry finally felt satisfied with a letter.

Moony,

Its me, I know I don't have to explain my identity to you. I want to tell you to not believe everything I'm sure you've heard about me. We need to meet and talk. Its something important. But it has to be neutral ground. Perhaps we should meet as if it were a full moon. (Harry was sure Remus would catch the reference to the Shrieking Shack.)

The group had sent off all their letters quickly, eager for responses that could change the fate of the world. They had decided to use another's owl to avoid someone recognizing their owl. Only an hour had passed when one could find the group in the Slytherin common room, right by the fireplace with floo powder. They hadn't bothered to empty the common room since Harry would be talking in Parseltongue and they had long since discovered that Harry was the only student at Hogwarts that could speak it.

Harry flung some floo powder into the fireplace and requested Nia's room at her school. Harry stuck his head inside, the school had a magical barrier against completely flooing out or in. Harry could easily take the spell down but it would alert McGonagall as she was filling in for Dumbledore as he dealt with the very angry goblins.

"Nia!" Harry exclaimed, relieved to find the girl was in her room reading. Nia startled and promptly fell from her place on the armchair.

"Harry?!" Her voice would have seemed calm to anyone but her closest friends, Harry being one of them. Harry could tell she was angry at him for surprising her and surprised he was flooing her in the first place.

"Nia, I must say that only you could manage to fall so beautifully and gracefully. I dare say-"

"Oh bugger off Harry." The corner of Nia twitched into a smile, her anger disappearing quickly at the joy of seeing her friend again after a few weeks.

Harry could immediately tell that no one was in the room from the way she was currently comfortably showing her emotions and from how she was surprised when he began to speak in Parseltongue, obviously not believing they needed that kind of precautions at the moment. She didn't question Harry but immediately knew from the air about him to respond in Parseltongue.

A few minutes into the conversation she understood the precautions. She was nodding enthusiastically and with an determined edge to her eyes. Harry knew she would be a loyal and useful ally. She agreed to relay the message to her twin and they chatted for a few minutes, both glad to be able to speak to someone in Parseltongue.

Harry was about to leave when she spoke up again,

"Oh Harry! Send my regards to Blaise and ask him if he would mind if I sent him some flowers?"

Harry laughed having already heard the story about Blaise's childhood fear of flowers, convinced they stole souls and ate flesh, in a letter from Nia the second she found out Harry was friends with her cousin.

"I will pass your message along! I'll owl you soon with more details!" Harry exclaimed as he retreated back to his common room.

When Harry passed along her message, chuckling to himself, Blaise promptly turned read and look determinedly anywhere but at his friends. He continued to stare at inanimate objects as Harry told the story to Draco and Pansy. He included the story of one of Blaise's particularly funny episodes involving flowers as a child.

"Awww," cooed Pansy when Harry had finished his story. Draco was laughing uncontrollably and Harry could help but notice how handsome Draco looked when he laughed like that.

The moment was interrupted by Pansy's owl at the window, carrying a letter for Harry from Remus. The group stared at the letter, surprised it had come so fast. It read:

Full moon at Marauder's hour. Tonight.

Moony
