James X Severus I

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters (no matter how much I would like to). Also; James' father and mother's names are made up, but you could say the characters themselves belong to J. (even if she never mentioned them). I do not make any money out of this.

The pattering of rain on the windowpane provided somewhat of a steady rhythm to the lonely figure inside, crouching over a glowing computer screen, with a hand on the mouse, clicking and scrolling every so often. A phone placed hazardly on the edge of the edge of the desk vibrated, threatening to fall of the surface. On the third vibrate it was picked up and unlocked, to reveal a rather flirtious message. "Are you free tonight" the message questioned, with a cute animated emoticon which smiled every few moments at the end. An amused expression filled the blank one of the figure's face and the phone was locked again, the message left unanswered. "No", he spoke to no-one in particular, "Sorry Lily; I'll have to cut ties with you."

-Line Break-

James, the son of a family of wealth and high power, with a stunning complexion to boot, was downright angry with his father. Not only had his father disagreed about bringing is current girlfriend home but has actually accused him of being "a spoilt child with no regards whatsoever towards his education". When has his father turned so cold? Was his mother's death a contributing factor?

Ever since his father had lost his mother, he's been more stressed and strict towards James. Before James' mother – Janette – was gone, his father always praised him for his skill and never lectured him, always letting him go with anything he's done; a majority of the times, the bad things. For James, who has never been critised by his old man, it was definitely a hit in his stomach and his mind clouding with the slightest doubt on his father.

School was bad enough, with his request for an expensive and high-class college rejected, therefore landing him in a dump of what commoners called a high school. He knew his father could easily bang money on the table and buy him into the college since his grades weren't an absolute mess, but why his father didn't was beyond him. His servants told him it was because of some reason like "Master has wanted Young Master to experience the life of common-folk". "What complete and utter rubbish!" James had thought when he first heard of the excuse.

Though, of course, being the optimistic person, James continuously searched for the bright side of things, no matter how troublesome they may be.

Therefore, luckily, at "School", the son of one of his father's acquaintance (or was he a business partner?) was also attending the institution. Remus Lupin was probably the name. As well as a friend whom he shared most pre-school memories with; Sirius Black. They were like brothers, almost always inseparable. If it wasn't for Sirius' mother having biased opinions upon expensive colleges and their teaching methods, Sirius would probably be going to the school James applied for. So, he's probably going to hand that to Sirius' mother, as much as he hates the woman for her mental abused on Siri.

Also, since his father disapproves of his current girlfriend, he's going to drop her and hook up with a new one; preferably the school blossom, Lily Evans.

Well, if only her greasy-haired "friend" wasn't always prowling around her. That git was ruined every attempt he had made on Lily. The thought of him always made James clench his fist. Said git was Severus Snape. What people would describe as the "loner and nerd" of the student body. Basically, besides Lilly, he had no friends and was never found without his hooked-nose buried in a weight the weight of a brick or other. Greasy black hair, a sallow complexion, a sarcastic and snarky attitude as well as that thing he called a nose which looked like he could attack you with, was what basically made up Snape.

And why did James know this? Because he attended he same junior high school as the bastard. With the nickname "nerd", one would make quite an accurate guess that his intelligence was what landed him in the pricey junior high school in the first place. As judging by the clothes he wore and his lack of "fashion sense", that he wasn't a child whose father owned as big and successful of a business as James' did.

Oh and how it was fun as hell to tease him back then. In junior high school, his looks were what got all the ladies fawning over him and quite some loyal followers. So ganging up on Snape and pulling a few pranks on him really was no biggie.

James smirked at those "fond" memories. Perhaps he could pull a couple more them this ear with Sirius and Remus in tow? It was never fun pranking alone sine then there was no one to share the felling of triumph with.

James sighed again. No, not this year. This year his dad made him promise to take school seriously and get a grip on his grades. "So I guess Snivelly is free to go this year…"

Felling dejected yet again, he plopped down face-first into his kind-sized bed and just laid there for a few minutes. "Oh god, how I want to sleep", he thought, feeling tired already. Shifting into a less awkward position, he closed his eye-lids, and after a few moments of deep breathing, finally drifted over into a deep slumber. Little did he know about the surveillance camera watching him.

A/N: So how was it? Do you think this is a good intro or did I miss something? Feel free to give me any constructive criticism (just not flames, please). Also; R&R if you're one to support the authors. Even though I truly don't make any money out of this :L
