Biography[]
Early life[]
Fleamont was born into the wealthy pure-blooded Potter family, to Henry Potter, a prominent Wizengamot member and Charlotte Fawley. He was named after his paternal grandmother's maiden name, as it was her dying wish that he perpetuate her maiden name, which would otherwise die out.
He started at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven and was Sorted into Gryffindor House. Fleamont quickly became friends with Minerva McGonagall, a fellow Gryffindor.
Due to the teasing he got for his first name, he often got into fights over it, to which he would later attribute his dexterity at duelling. At some point and per the family tradition, he inherited the Cloak of Invisibility from his father Henry Potter, who was a distant descendant of Ignotus Peverell.
After his graduation, Fleamont developed Sleekeazy's Hair Potion, sales of which quadrupled the family gold. On 29 November 1926, the Daily Prophet ran a front page story on how his hair potion had wooed American witches. Upon retirement, he sold the company at a vast profit.
Marriage and family[]
Fleamont married Euphemia Braithewaite and although the family prospered, they had difficulty in having children.They eventually gave up the hope of having a son or daughter of their own. However, in 1959, to the couple's shock and surprise, Euphemia became pregnant. Their son, James, was born on 27 March, 1960, of whom they made Minerva McGonagall godmother.
Since the Potters had James later in their lives, he was their only child, and was pampered and cherished accordingly.[11]
Around 1976, Fleamont and Euphemia took in their son's best friend, Sirius Black, who had run away from home at age 16, because his family hated him. They treated Sirius like a second son. Though Sirius stayed in the Potter Cottage for only a year, eventually using money inherited from his uncle, Alphard Black, to buy his own flat, the Potter always welcomed him over for Sunday dinner thereafter.
Appearance
Fleamont could be described as tall for his age, with a small scar on his chin due to a Quidditch accident when he was thirteen years old. His eyes were dark blue, very like his father's eyes, Henry. Fleamont had messy jet black hair, which was always untidy.
Death and post-mortern[]
James later married the Muggle-born witch, Lily Evans, in around 1978-1979. Shortly after their son's wedding, both Fleamont and Euphemia (who were advanced in age) succumbed to Dragon Pox, dying within days of each other. However, they had presumably died happy, for they have had the satisfaction of living long enough to see their son settled in life and married to a fine young woman. With their deaths, James inherited the invisibility cloak that had been passed down through the Potter family for many generations, and the considerable Potter fortune (which enabled him and his wife to lead a comfortable but all too brief life).
Fleamont's and Euphemia's deaths also meant that they did not meet their grandson, Harry Potter, who would be born on 31 July, 1980, nor did they realise tragedy would befall the Potter family soon thereafter. Since Harry was, himself, orphaned at a very young age, it soon became his heart's desire to meet his family. When, in 1991, he glimpsed into the Mirror of Erised, Harry saw his grandparents, on both his father's and his mother's side, among a number of other relatives he had never met.
