AN: okay just to let you know everything happened up to the fifth book, OOTP. And in my story the witches and wizards don't get their inheritance until they are full fledged witches or wizards. So that is basically on their 17th birthday! Have any questions post a review:)
Chapter 1
Surprise, Surprise!
This was the best day of Harry Potter's life. Why? Because today he would leave this godforsaken place, he had called a home for the last 17 years. He would go to the Godricks Hollow. Because today he was finally of age. He was 17 years old. Just when he was about to leave his room to head to the bathroom, a slight pecking sound was heard on the window. He smiled they never forgot. He turned and walked to the window and opened it. First came Pig, then Midnight (Hermione's owl), then Muddle (Neville's owl) and a couple of others he didn't know. Along with that came a Hogwarts owl, with post.
He took the gifts from the ones he didn't know first and they flew away obviously not needing a reply for their owners. Then he took the Hogwarts owl, however it stayed Harry wondered why. So he quickly opened the letter so he could reply his head of house.
But to his surprise it was not from Professor McGonagall but from the Headmaster Dumbledore.
Dear Harry,
I would first off like to wish you a very happy 17th birthday. You are now a full powered wizard. Secondly I would like to tell you to refrain using any magic until Remus and Serverus come to collect you.
Harry I would like to inform you that your inheritance will be quiet different from other witches and wizards. I will disclose no other information because should this information fall in the wrong hands many horrible things could come of it. Harry you will be coming to Hogwarts today and will be staying here for the rest of the summer to make sure everything goes as planned.
I will be seeing you in person in a couple of hours. Serverus and Remus will be there at 12 30 sharp my boy please be ready for them.

Harry looked at the time, seven. Well, he had plenty of time. He wrote a quick note to the Headmaster and with that he went to take shower and make breakfast before he went to pack all his belongings.
It was Twelve Thirty, and Snape and Lupin still had not arrived at number 4 Privet Drive. Harry sighed as he looked at all his belongings. He was not surprised when he found out that all his things where fit in his trunk. But it was a lot more stuffed then it would have been had he left in his first year. He had also gotten around to opening his presents after his aunt, uncle and cousin went out shopping. He had gotten a book about dark arts from Hermione; he got a widdle from Ron. What was a widdle? Well good question. It was a little marble like ball that had a scale of a Regaret dragon inside. It was for good luck and elves were always said to carry one, no one knew why but they did. The Regaret dragon was very rare and it was even more rare for its scale to fall out. From Neville and Luna he got new cleaning and repairing kit for his firebolt. From Lupin he had gotten a potions kit. Probably Snape's idea Harry had thought, after all they are engaged now. Still can't believe they are together. From the Weasleys he had gotten a nice dress robe probably courtesy of The Weasley twins. Which were way too long and some sweets. He had been delighted at all the gifts. Well he loved them all but Lupin's was a shocker; he loved it none the less. Just then he heard the knock on the door.
Harry jumped up and headed to the door, casting a weightless charm on his trunk. He shrunk it and pocketed it.
"Hey Harry, Happy birthday! ready to go?" Remus asked as he opened the door.
"Hi Remus. Yup!" Harry said closing the door behind him. He walked to the way Remus was headed. Whoa! "Your car Remus?" He said looking at the convertible.
"No it's Serverus'," he replied as he got into the passenger seat. Sitting in the driver seat was a very muggle looking Serverus. Harry held his laughter as his got into the car.
"We're going to take it all the way to London, then we are going to floo to Hogsemade. Okay?" Remus explained. Harry nodded his head. "So how is your birthday so far?"
"Good," Harry said then began talking about what he got. Throughout the whole drive Serverus was quiet. It seemed a little too quiet like he knew something that he didn't want to. That it was eating him alive. Hmm…
Six hours later, Harry sat in the infirmary shocked. How could they keep something like that from him. He thought back to his meeting with Professor Dumbledore as another shock of pain hit him.
Flashback
"Harry you must understand that we did not tell you because if the wrong person found out it could have been dangerous. The prophecy I told you in your 5th year wasn't the only prophecy you were involved in my boy. You see your inheritance well, it is complicated. You my dear boy are elfin. Not just any elf but you are the Elfin Prince.
"The elfin do not pick their Prince on only blood lines. They chose the strongest, the one that will always lead them to goodness, and always help their kind. They chose in the pure in heart. So when you where born they chose you as their Elfin Prince. The King of the Elfins died the day you were born. It only proved to their prophecies that you were their leader.
"There are many things that you need to know. One of them in the physical change you will go to. As you know that Elfins are well, as you would say very beautiful. Even more then Veelas. Many will pay attention to you. You will be much taller slimmer and much stronger and much more graceful. Also their mental change, they are very smart intellectual creatures.
"Second you need to know are the rituals you will be going through. I know that you may not want this but the Elfin kind will need you. They may die if they do not have a strong leader that will help them. So I am sorry to say my boy that you do not have much say in excepting this.
"The Third thing and the most hard thing will be your mate." Dumbledore paused and looked at Harry. Harry's eyes were wide but as soon as he said mate Harry felt like he was going to hurl. He shot up and ran to the washroom, emptying everything that he had eaten that day. Harry just sat there at the toilet before getting up and washing up.
"Sorry sir, it's just a lot to take in. Sir what do you mean by a mate?" Harry asked as he slumped back into his seat.
"Well you see Harry when the Elfin choose their Leader they also choose their mate. The mate that will help them in every way. That will strengthen them. Usually that mate is a Elfin in this case however your mate is not Elfin." He paused and looked at Harry. He seemed to be weighing something. "Harry how do you feel about homosexual relationships?" Harry groaned, great his mate was a male.
"I don't care much sir," Harry told his headmaster. Dumbledore nodded.
"Well you see in Elfin kind it is very common to have homosexual relationships one out of ever 4 are homosexual. The reason being is that males can reproduce. So your mate indeed is male. You my boy must bond with your mate before a fortnight is up. Your general and advisor, Maletin will be arrive tomorrow with many others to govern your rituals and bonding."
Harry then realized something. Dumbledore seemed to be trying to hide the identity of his mate.
"Professor? Who is my mate?" Harry asked in a apprehensive voice.
"Harry my boy…" Dumbledore hesitated. "Well it is Draco Malfoy."
With that Harry had fainted
End of Flashback
He had woken up a half an hour later in terrible pain due to his body changing as the as Madam Pomfry had put it.
Harry felt another wave of nausea as he thought about his mate… Draco Malfoy… This was the worst day of his life.
