Title: The Potter Legacy

Author: Sciphy Disclaimer: I own not these Hotties! Or really any Hotties for that matter. Well except for the ones attached to the voices in my Head. And the only reason that I own them is that I am the only one who can see them so why not.

Author's note: My email address has changed, It is now Darthsciphla@yahoo.com. Please email me if you want to. Tell me what you think! I am sorry that I haven't done more to this story in the time that it has been posted. I plan to rectify that. (Rectify- with the way this word sounds you would think that it is something that I would normally read about on AFF.net.)

I am writing the second chapter now, so I figure that I should warn you before you get to far into it. This story will be Slash! That means that there will be two or more men in a relationship in this story. Please don't flame me for this fact. If you do, then I will be forced to send the "Pizza box civilizations" to live in your fridge. (I got this idea from the Sith Academy)

Pairing: will eventually be HP/SS! RL/SB will prolly be in here somewhere but I won't promise anything.

*Wow,* Harry thought to himself for what seemed like the thousandth time. *We actually did it. We defeated Voldemort, We all lived, and We finished school.* That was the one that got him the most, That school was over.

For seven years Hogwarts had been his world. Now it was almost gone. Even in the midst of the war with Voldemort, school was always there. But... now... Tomorrow was the start of the last week before the summer.

Harry had spent a lot of time trying to decide what he wanted to do from here out. Aside from the fact that he never wanted to go back to the Dursley's, he wasn't sure what he would do.

These thoughts were the reasons why he was staring out of his dorm window in the middle of the night. Not really looking at anything, just thinking. He was quite startled when someone touched his shoulder. He spun around as quickly as possible, his wand already in his hand.

Albus Dumbledor just looked amused as Harry quietly lowered his wand.

"Harry, my dear boy," Dumbledor spoke in his ever so gentle tones. "I was wondering is I might have a word with you? If you would please accompany me to my office?"

The older wizard led the way through the caste to his office entrance, where he mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like "candy canes", and then into the office itself.

Fawkes was silently sleeping on his perch and didn't even seem to hear them enter.

Dumbledor waved his wand in the direction of the coffee table and a Tray full of Tea and the usual accompaniments appeared. At Harry's nod Dumbledor poured two cups and after handing one to Harry, sat down.

"So, Harry... Have you made any plans as to what you will be doing after school?"

"Um, well Sir, I have been thinking, but I haven't been able to decide anything except that going back to the Dursley's is not an option. Even if I wanted to, now that I am 17 they wouldn't even let me in the house."

"Well then Mister Potter, I have a few things to tell you and then I have a Proposition for you. The first thing is that I had suspected that your relatives would react this way, and for just this eventuality we are more than happy to offer you a room here at Hogwarts for as long as you want it."

"Well- Ah- um- thank you very much sir."

"Now on to another matter. Harry my boy, the Potter family had left you with a rather interesting Legacy... You of course know about the Gringotts vault, But there is so much more than that. The Vault that you have had access to was just your school money. You also have three other Vaults... each with five times the amount of your school vault.

Now Harry, here is the tough part, so be prepared... Due to the meddling of your dear grandmother, you also have a Betrothed."

Throughout this entire speech, Dumbledor never took his eyes off of the young man. If it wouldn't have been rude, He would have been laughing at the faces the boy was making.

When he mentioned a Legacy, Harry got this Light in his eyes, but it all went down hill from there and by the time he told of the Betrothal... Well if it weren't for the fact that Harry's eyes were so wide, Dumbledor would have suspected that the young Wizard had just bit into a Lemon Flavored Bertie Bott's Everyflavor Bean. Actually to think of it, he looked most similar to when he caught the Snitch with him mouth back in first year.

"You see Harry, your grandmum and her best friend had decided that they wanted their families to come closer and become one family at some point in the future.

If it hadn't been for the fact that your Father and your Mother were already inseparable, they would have married your father off. What they did do was to Pester their respective children into signing a contract to the effect that the next Potter child born would be married to the most suitable person from the other family. That means the closest in age and so forth...

I am very sorry to say, my boy, that because this was signed by the guardians... it is a fully legally binding Contract. It also states the date of the wedding... It will be on July 30th the summer after you finish your seventh year."

Harry was completely dumbstruck. All he could do was sit there Opening and closing his mouth.

Dumbledor thought for a few minutes that he had gotten off the hook. If he could get the boy out of the office before He could think again...

At just that moment, Harry looked up and Dumbledor knew that he was doomed.

"Sir, who is it that I am supposed to be marrying?"
