[Grey Manor,1979]
Nate Alexander-Irene Grey, Boy, Born in 1978, Son of Alexander Grey and Irene Grey, currently a year old, now for a normal child this would have been enough of an introduction but not me cause I am a reincarnated man and in the last year after my rebirth as I rose from ashes (I don't remember how I died) like a beautiful phoenix I have collected enough information about my new previous life and new life, for example, I am sure I was an English speaker in my last life cause I can understand what my family members speak and this is why I could gather all the information I could.
To be honest, even though I had no idea what was going on for the first six months, everything felt like it was a blur and it felt unreal because when my vision cleared, I tell you I was freaked out any normal would be if he suddenly was around giants but again after the shock was when the panic came that they aren't large, I am tiny. It was a refreshing feeling knowing that the concept we have heard about is true, it fills me with so much hope. Though I also realized that I had no idea who I was in my previous life, I mean I know a lot of information but any information that could help me develop a sense of self is not there, it's surreal that I have no personal attachment to the information I have. But anyways I have also discovered things that required more thoughts than a supposed existential crisis or a personal detachment from anything of my previous life making me a clean slate.
Now the fun part about my reincarnation- I am in the freaking Wizarding world! I am also most probably a wizard since both my parents are wand-wavers. I am a half-blood, my mother is a half-blood while my father is a muggle-born. I also get my last name from my maternal family since my father is an orphan and my mother was the only daughter and heir to an old wizarding family. Now the not-so-fun part about my rebirth is that there is a lunatic megalomaniac on the up and around who throws around killing curses around like he knows no other bloody spell.
My family supports no side and is currently neutral but I am pretty sure that this going to change pretty quickly since with Riddle, either you are his slave or you are his enemy, I just hope nothing bad happens. Since I am pretty sure that the Death Eaters aren't going to like our family much since half of my family is muggle-born. I mean the Grey family members before Grandpa according to Grandma when she was talking to Dad was supposed to be super good Death Eater material but it all changed when Grandpa fell in love with Grandma so there is that. After that mother and father fell in love so our family can now be considered blood traitors.
To be honest, My Grandma is more like a mother to me than my mother since Mum gives more big-sis vibes while grandma gives off Mother vibes so there is that well can't blame mom for it since it most probably has to do with the fact that she is still 21. My dad however gives off perfect doting father vibes while grandpa is difficult to describe like he has got this 'you are beneath me' feeling but is very kind though he is rough looking, I always remember the first time, he saw me, he was oozing 'I got my eyes on you' energy.
[Flashback to 3 months ago]
[William Grey's POV]
In a well-lit room on the second floor of the Grey Family Manor, a baby was sleeping peacefully and the gate of the room slowly opened for the daughter-father pair to come in. The father looked at the grandson his daughter had given birth to, and he was feeling... complicated. Yes, he was happy but this child was also proof that his daughter was no more his princess, she was a grown woman and it made him feel disturbingly old. What am I thinking he is my daughter's son and he is cute just like my baby princess was when she was born.
[Irene Grey's POV]
'Why is he so quiet?'
That was the only thought in Irene's head and it worried her. Did her father not like her little Nate?
[Meanwhile her Little Nate]
I was sleeping peacefully, as peacefully as a grown man who could not control his motions could sleep. But suddenly I had that feeling, that one feeling that I always described in my previous life as 'I could feel a disturbance in the force.'
And with the same courage, I had once gathered to look at the demon under my bed, I opened my eyes to gaze at the abyss and that is when the abyss gazed back at me, never in my two lives did I feel so horrified as to feel my pants getting wet. In front of me was Lucius Malfoy, I was scared now, had the house fallen to a death eater raid was that why there is no mention of the Grey family in the books but a sudden voice brought him back from his musings that was the voice of his mum saying, "Dad?"
'Oh, here I thought, I was gonna get AK'ed by none other than one of the wussiest death eaters.'
So this is my Grandpa huh? Not bad looking but his gaze just before this was like somebody fucked his daughter...Oh, wait a minute my dad did exactly that so... This lord shall put the judgment of this plebian on hold for now.
"What?"
"You were staring at little Nate," said Mum raising an eyebrow.
"Just wondering how fast time passes, I remember taking you from that healer after your birth you were so small just like this little guy." My Grey-haired grandpa replied while keeping his eyes on me.
"Ok dad, look after him for a minute, will you? I have to make some tea for myself."
"Sure."
Grandpa moved his face closer to me and whispered, "Damn son, you make me feel old."
'Cause you are getting old is what I wanted to say but then I remembered that wizards live twice as long as muggles. Anyways my grandpa is a big softie.
Mom returned with a cup of tea and my father was there as well following behind her.
Grandpa took out his wand and transfigured a seat for dad.
Father began, "So dad, what happened at the wizengamot session today?"
"Crouch wants to push for the use of unforgivables by the DMLE in the next session and quite a lot of light side members and neutral parties agree. Dumbledore wants to avoid it but there is no way he can stop it from getting passed." came the reply along with a tired sigh.
Father was visibly confused with grandpa's attitude.
"Is it not a good thing?"
Mum beat grandfather by replying, "Not just the killing curse but the imperius and cruciatus curse."
"Exactly, this is incredibly stupid, they could use veritaserum or legilmency. No, this is just Crouch making a statement that those accursed spells could do good."
"Why can't those spells do any good?" Father sounded intrigued...?
"All three of these spells affect the soul, and dabbling with souls is incredibly foolish there is always a price for magic, it can be anything from magical energy, emotions, memories, or sacrifices but soul magic tends to leave scars on the dabbler which never heal.
The killing curse leaves the least amount of damage sometimes if the user's will is strong enough even with no damage. The imperious however leaves the most scars. The only unforgivable that can do good is the killing curse when used to not harm. There is an obscure saying that sickly green changes its color to beautiful blue when one dies by the killing curse to put him out of misery. It is said to be one of the rarest phenomena a wizard personally can experience. Since having enough willpower to kill someone yet hold no malice against them is quite difficult and emotionally disturbing might I add.
Dumbledore knows this, I know it, many old families have records of this, that they could look up but most of them are far into the deep end to do anything about it. That is why I do not like making them legal even in defense or against known Death Eaters, they could use far better spells like elemental spells or transfiguration.
Crouch wants to promote it because his family was quite popular for its use and I am pretty sure he has learned it too. I am sure that his son does not know them, the man is too busy making a political career so that is a good thing."
'Oh, how wrong you are grandpa. At least about Barty Jr.'
"So, what are you going to vote for?"
"I will state my view as it is."
