Inheritance is defined as something of monetary value or treasure possession being passed from one generation to the next.

Eighteen years old James Potter received such an inheritance, but James wasn't an average teenager - James was a wizard, heir apparent to one of the most powerful pure-blood lines of the time.

As a coming-of-age wizard, James' parents had followed traditional ceremonies. That happened to be an elegant gala to celebrate James' adulthood. Since there weren't very many pureblood wizarding families left in Europe, the same people almost always gathered at these special occasions whether birthdays, Christmas etc.

Among the families were the Potters, the Malfoys, the Blacks, the Lupins, the Goyles, the Crabbs, the Parkinsons, the Flints, the Zambinis, and the Snapes. There were others but many in recent times had married either other magical creatures (i.e. Veelas, Elves, or Vampires) or non-magical beings (such as Muggles) thus ending the family purity.

And the event would change James' life with an unexpected twist.

oOoOoOo

Today was James Potter's eighteenth birthday. He officially was an adult, but James sat on the window seat in his room gazing out of the window with longing. He didn't want a party, but his parents had insisted. He didn't want to socialize with snobs of the wizarding world, but his parents told him that he needed to because he needed to know who's who in the magical world.

“James? Honey, you need to come down. Every thing is ready and the party is in a couple of hours,” his mum called out to him through the closed door.

Said teenage sighed. James ran long slender fingers through messy raven locks and with the other hand, pushed up thin wire rim circular glasses on his nose. Standing at 5'11 ”, James stretched causing his back and ankles to pop.

He looked at himself one last time in the full length mirror. He wore form fitting black Levi's jeans he had purchased on Saturday while with Lily and Remus. They didn't bring Sirius because he and Snape had gotten them thrown out of the mall - apparently they (the Muggles) didn't appreciate Sirius having his tongue shoved down his boyfriend's throat.

And Snape didn't help matters any at all by nearly having sex with Sirius in the middle of the open court. So, on the next excursion, they left Sirius (and Snape) at home.

Sighing again, James wished he could find someone like how Sirius had found Snape. Although he still wondered about how those two ended up together. It was quite a mystery. He shook his head a little bit thinking about the conversation he had with Lily a couple of weeks ago.

oOo Flashback oOo

“You know James if you wasn't so averse to being with a woman, I would marry you,” the fiery red head said patting her friend on the back.

James choked on his cup of tea when his friend proudly announced (at bit too loudly in his opinion) that he was attracted to men.

“EVANS! Do you mind?” James' face was hot. He started fanning himself with one of his folders. He timidly glanced around to see if any of the other students were listening.

Luckily, no one cared.

The Maurders (which included Lily) as well as Snape, decided to take accelerated upper Divison classes at the local university, but after just three months, Peter, couldn't stay on top of his grade. Therefore, he got kicked out.

Now, the group was a year and a half away from graduating with honors.

“What's the matter, Jamester? Don't sweat it. I'm sure there's someone out there for you,” Lily said with an encouraging smile.

James snorted in disbelief. Like who would want someone like him? “Yeah, who?”

“I don't know, but you will know when you meet him.”

oOo End flashback oOo

The former Gryffindor stood in the corner of the yard taking in all the snobs that invaded his new home. He was gifted with a two story house that once belonged to Godric Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary. Of course over the years the house had been modified but it still held a bit of history.

He wished that his friends were here. Lily couldn't come because she had a date with some Muggle whose name was (believe it or not) James. Since tonight was a full moon, there was no question where Remus was going to be.

Then James shuddered as he thought about what Sirius told him. /I'm sorry Prongs but since my parents are going, there's no way in hell, I'm going. Besides, I got a fuck date with Sev to make him scr…/

“Hello?”

James was stirred out his horrid thoughts of Padfoot and Snape, only to look up into the most unusually colored eyes - quicksilver - and said exactly what he was thinking, “Beautiful.”

James slapped his hand over his mouth. Hazel orbs widened while an elegantly shaped brow rose in amusement.

“I am soo sorry. I didn't mean to say that,” James said quickly, embarrassed by his thoughtlessness.

“Yes, you did. Normally, I would have cursed you for such a bold statement but for some reason I simply can't bring my self to hurt a lovely vision exquisiteness.”

The teenager blushed more.

“Do you want to leave? You seem awfully bored.”

“Yes, I do want to leave and I am bored. This isn't my kind of scene,” James replied.

“Then let's go somewhere that's a little less suffocating. We won't be missed,” the tall pure-blood offered, staring down at his walking stick then looking at his companion.

James bit his lip unsure of what to do. After all, this party was for him. But he stole a look at his parents. They were carrying on without him.

Not giving them or the party another thought, James smiled broadly. “Let's go.”

oOoOoOo

They exited through a side gate that was covered with thick ivy vines and leaves. They walked down the hidden path to where the carriages were waiting.

Before climbing into the elegant crafted horse drawn ride, James hesitated.

“Is something the matter?”

Feeling foolish for now thinking about this, James said, “I know I've met you before but I'm at a loss.”

Vivacious laughter filled the night air. James gasped at the sound. Never had he heard such an enchanting sound in his life.

“We went to Hogwarts together, a bit briefly I must say.” The bespectacled youth tried to rack his brain but was coming up short.

A gloved hand extended in welcome. “Malfoy. Lucius Malfoy.”
