Growing Flame - Part 1 // Draco Malfoy x OC

Summary: Danielle Rudd was born to former Quidditch stars Cassius and Amelia Rudd. Both descended from very old wizarding families, which represent the old values. Values that Dany herself don't really represents. She coulnd't make it any more clear, as when she was sorted into Gryffindor in her first year at Hogwarts. Not a really pleasant thing, when your family is all Slytherin. Only Slytherin.

Warnings: A bit of language

A/N: Well hello. This is actually a really really old story, I've written a few years ago and now gets an overall revision. The original pairing was Cassius Warrington x OC / later DM x OC but I changed it to only DM x OC. Little info: English is not my first language, so excuse any grammar or word mistakes!

August 17, 1994 - Rudd Mansion, Falmouth, Cornwall

Summer... Lazing around, doing nothing, lying in the sun. What more could you want?

I lie comfortably in the sun in our garden and read a book. My long blonde hair is tied back in a high ponytail. The water of the pool glistens, and nothing can disturb the peace. Or so I thought.

Suddenly I hear laughter coming towards me. I sit up and look towards the house. Does it have to be? The reason for the noise is my brother and his airheads of friends. They throw a quaffle at each other at a loud volume and come in my direction. I put the book down, annoyed. Suddenly I notice that I am lying here dressed only in a bathing suit, so I quickly grab my dress and put it on. I don't want to give the boys an extra reason to stare at me.

However, the boys run past me without even noticing me much. I recognise Blaise Zabini, Gregory Goyle, and cousin Theo Nott. Who else?

Zac, my twin brother, stops beside me for a moment. "Well, sis... Studying hard?" he teases me and then jumps into the water in front of me so that not only me but all my clothes get wet. "HA-HA," I say ironically and at least try to save my book.

"You read voluntarily in the summer holidays?" someone behind me asks me critically. I turn around in surprise, not expecting anyone else to be there, and spot Draco Malfoy in front of me, looking at me with a raised eyebrow. My breath catches in my throat for a moment. The way he's standing there, just in his swimming trunks, showing off his well-toned body. You never see him like this. I stare at him.

"Hey," I manage after what feels like an eternity and smile at him. A crooked grin appears on his face. It doesn't fit his usually arrogant manner at all. "Hey." he returns, and I have to pull myself together. The sun is reflected in his beautiful grey eyes, and his gleaming white teeth smile at me. "I uh- You okay?" I ask after what seems like an eternity, like a stupid chicken. What the hell is wrong with me?

"Hey Draco!" my twin brother calls from the water before Draco can answer me, and all the magic fades. It's like my brother is bringing us back to reality. "Stop flirting with my sister and get in the water already!" Flirting? Was he flirting with me? Draco gives me another glance before taking an elegant dive into the water.

And that was my cue. I get up, gather my things and make my way into the house. I open the heavy wooden door and step inside. Luckily, my parents have renovated the house, which is quite bright and modern compared to the homes of other pureblood families, thanks to my mother. I can hear her humming from the drawing room.

I continue up the stairs to the first floor, where, among other things, my room is. On the way to my room, I pass my father's study. I've slowly gotten used to the fact that he doesn't treat me like he did before Hogwarts. Ever since it came out that I didn't come to Slytherin, but to Gryffindor, I'm not worth as much to him as it seems.

Once in my room, I throw my things on the floor and lie on the bed. I stare at the ceiling for a while until something on the branch outside my window caption. My bed is enormous, and you could melt in it; it's so comfortable.

"Moon!" I say quickly and let my little owl into the room. "How long have you been sitting there? I was outside, my little one," I say to him and stroke his head gently. My little owl looks at me in confusion. He is not exactly the brightest. "What have you got for me?" I ask him and take the letter from him, which is tied around his foot. Moon then flies straight to his cage and pokes around in the grains. I shake my head and turn my attention to the letter.

Dear Dany

As you have probably noticed, the Quidditch World Cup is taking place in England this year.

Have I noticed? When you have two former professional Quidditch players as parents, it is the number one topic of conversation in our household. My brother gets to go with my father. I wasn't asked, of course.

Dad was able to get tickets and asked if we wanted to go too. Harry and Hermione are going too. Please come along. That would be so great. If you can and want to, we'll meet at the Burrow at about 6 pm on Sunday.

I look forward to seeing you.

Love to you Ginny

They have tickets? That's incredible. And they want to take me? Wait a minute... Sunday? It's Sunday. Where has Moon been that he's only just arrived?

I look at my little oddball, who has already fallen asleep. I roll my eyes for a moment and then jump up.

"Mum!" I shout from the room. I run down the stairs and into the lounge. "Mum!" I call out again. "What is it, little one?" my mother asks me. "The Weasleys have invited me to go to the World Cup with them," I babble. "What?" my mother asks me in surprise. I hold out the letter to her, and she reads through it.

"May I? Please, please, please," I beg, and mum looks at me skeptically. "With the Weasleys?" she asks slightly dismissively. "Mum! It's the Quidditch World Cup! It was last in England thirty years ago! Please!" I say again firmly, and it works. Mum makes a thoughtful face. "Hmm... All right, fine by me," she says and puts the letter on the table. "Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I detach myself from her and run out. "I'm going to the Burrow today, Mom," I shout over my shoulder and run straight into my father. He looks at me grimly.

"What's going on here?" he snaps at me, but my mother draws his attention. "Your daughter is going to the Quidditch World Cup, my love," she says, glancing at me briefly before giving him a soft kiss on the cheek. That's the sign I should leave. I sneak backward out of the room and run back up the stairs. Ginny knows Moon, and I assume she assumes he didn't fly straight to me. Answering Ginny now would be pointless, especially I don't think I can wake Moon yet. I'll just go there.

I quickly pack up all my things. I assume that Ginny meant for us to all get to the Hogwarts Express together after the World Cup.

"Well, are you ready yet?" asks my mother, who is suddenly standing in the doorway. "Almost," I say curtly, throwing the last of my things into my suitcase and closing it. However, I have to sit on the suitcase to be able to close it. The shopping trip to Paris with my mother has thus borne its fruit. "You can't take the suitcase like that," my mother says, taking out her magic wand. She points it at my suitcase and Moon's cage. "Reducio," she says, and things magically shrink.

"Thanks, Mum," I say and smile at her. "It's all right, angel." Then she looks at her watch and back at me. "You have to go," she says, and we walk down to the entrance hall. There is our big fireplace. I hug my mother tightly and then break away from her. "I'll miss you," I say, and a tear steals into my eye. "I'll miss you too, angel. I'll see you at the platform and Christmas at the latest," she hugs me again.

I take my downsized suitcase and Moon's cage and stand in the fireplace. Then I grab a handful of flea powder and say, "BURROW!" I throw the powder at my feet. Immediately I am surrounded by the Green Flames and standing in the burrow.

Draco's POV: Dripping wet, we enter the Rudds' house. The fact that I still saw Dany made my day. Of course, I would never admit that.

Mrs. Rudd is already waiting for us in the house. "Hello, everyone. How was it outside?" she asks us, friendly. "Excellent, Mrs. Rudd. A really nice cool down," Miles answers her politely. "Are you staying for dinner?" she then asks. Unfortunately, Theo, Goyle, and Miles have to decline as their parents expect them.

"Blaise? Draco? What about you guys?" she turns to us. "I'd love to, Amelia, that's very nice," I answer her politely, and Blaise also agrees happily. "Very well. Then why don't you go upstairs and put on something dry? I will order the house elves to prepare something," she says and disappears into the kitchen.

Miles, Goyle, and Theo say goodbye to us and disappear home via the flea network. Blaise, Zac, and I go to his room and change. I take a quick look at Dany's locked room door. I spot a Gryffindor banner on the door, which makes me shake my head. She must have put it up with some insoluble glue to annoy her father.

I wonder what she's doing right now.

We change, and downstairs Amelia and Cassius are already waiting for us at the dining table. I am disappointed to see that the table is only set for five. Zac must have noticed that too. "Where is Dany?" he asks his mother, giving his father a skeptical look. The latter, however, ignores the whole thing. "She's with friends. She left about an hour ago." I give Zac a knowing look. "Surely not to those Weasleys?" he asks dismissively. I hear Mr. Rudd huff out angrily at the name. Amelia gives him a stern look.

"She's been invited by them to the World Cup. She'll be returning to Hogwarts straight from there too."

Danielle is at the World Cup? Then I can see her again tomorrow. A tiny spark of joy ignites in my belly. Even though she'll be there with the Weasley scum, and I'm sure she'll be there with Saint Potter and the Mudblood Granger. Anyway. I will hopefully see her.
