When fire burns the rain falls

Chapter 1

Draco woke up earlier than he normally would, He inhaled deeply as he rubbed his face into his pillow to wake himself up, he sat up with a soft smile on his face remembering it was his eighteenth birthday.

Draco quickly hopped out of bed and hurried over to his dresser, he grabbed his favourite pair of lilac purple dungaree shorts and a soft pastel pink crop top with a little brown bear embroidered on the left side, he made his way over to his wardrobe and picked out his light purple doc martens.

After grabbing everything he needed Draco headed to the bathroom to shower quickly. Once he was showered and changed he did his simple morning skincare and brushed his teeth and hair, he added two lilac-purple barrettes to his hair just above his left ear, spritzing himself with his favourite perfume called 'champagne Toast', and he finally left his room.

Draco walked into his mother's study upon hearing her delicate voice, Noting that she was currently on the phone he took a seat in a chair in front of her desk to wait.

It wasn't long before she hung up the phone with a soft sigh, "These businessmen are going to be the reason I die too early", Draco chuckled and stood up walking to his mother's chair and having a seat on her lap as he always did, "If those businessmen make me lose my mum, I'll kill them", Narcissa shook her head with a fond smile and wrapped her arms loosely around her son's waist, "You're not getting rid of me anytime soon my boy", Draco laid his head on his mother's shoulder and inhaled her comforting scent, "Good", Narcissa planted a soft kiss upon Draco's forehead and squeezed him gently, "Happy birthday my sweet boy", Draco smiled softly and looked into her eyes, "Thank you, mum".

Draco and Narcissa made their way down to the kitchen for a full English breakfast which Draco requests every year. While eating Draco only now realized his father's absence, "Where's father?", Narcissa looked at her son with a solemn expression and gently cupped his cheek, "I'm sorry dear but he's at the office", Draco let out a sigh and looked down at his food, "Oh".

Once they were done eating, Narcissa pulled Draco into her arms, "We'll have an amazing day without him anyways", Draco smiled up at his mother and nodded, "Yeah, I don't need his negativity today anyways", Narcissa chuckled and planted a kiss to the top of his head, "Shall we get started on celebrating then?" Draco nodded enthusiastically and followed his mother out to the vehicle, Draco got in the passenger seat as his mother made her way to the driver's side, "Now, I have booked an appointment with your favourite nail technician, which is in fifteen minutes. Afterwards, we have an appointment with your hairstylist, and that's about it, so you can choose how the rest of your day goes until it's time to head back for your birthday dinner." Draco squealed in excitement, "Thank you, mum! I'm super excited", Narcissa smiled at her son's enthusiasm and started driving while Draco connected his phone to the speaker and put on some Celine Dion.

They walked into the nail salon with 5 minutes to spare, which Draco used to look and choose a colour, he went with a lilac-purple as it was his favourite colour and he hadn't done it in a while. He sat at the table in front of his favourite nail tech and chose his length and shape, he went with medium-length oval nails painted in the lilac he chose with little white flowers and small silver gemstones as the center of each flower.

He talked about anything and everything with his nail tech and mother the entire time, "Mum? Will father be home for dinner?" Narcissa looked over at him with a soft smile, "I will message him and see", Draco nodded and turned to look at the progress, smiling happily at how they looked against his soft alabaster skin.

After buying new nail polish colours and paying they left quickly so they wouldn't be late for his hair appointment.

Upon arriving Draco was quickly whisked away into a chair and his stylist got started on Draco's usual hairstyle, Draco has shoulder-length hair so he always got it curled and streaked with purple semi-permanent hair dye, since his hair was delicate it took about an hour to complete it.

By the time they were back in the vehicle Draco couldn't stop staring at himself in his phone camera, "I'm so pretty", Narcissa smiled warmly at her son, "You are gorgeous my boy", Draco blushed lightly as he was never good at receiving compliments even though he loved them.

"What would you like to do now?" Narcissa asked while she started driving, Draco hummed softly as he scrolled through his music, "Can we go to the mall and shop before getting lunch?", Draco put on Adele and placed his phone down turning to his mother, "Of course we can, today is your day after all", Draco smiled and started singing along to the music.

Once they made it to the mall Narcissa parked, and they walked hand in hand into the building. Draco dragged his mother to Sephora as he was out of skin care products and a few of his favourite makeup items.

They ventured to store after store as Draco bought everything he needed, a few new outfits, some accessories and jewelry, and a pair of new shoes, he made sure he didn't go overboard with his spending to not seem greedy even though Narcissa insisted that he get anything he wanted.

After a fun couple of hours, Draco got hungry so they headed up to the food court for a bite before heading to the movies as per Draco's request. They walked around the food court before deciding to get Pho. While eating they scrolled through the theatre's website to decide on a movie, they both enjoyed horror and romance but there weren't many good options so they decided on a Marvel movie, Doctor Strange.

After eating and talking they finally made their way to the opposite side of the mall where the movie theatre was. Draco picked out a few snacks whilst Narcissa paid for the tickets.

Once inside the screen room, they found their seats and started talking about what Draco's plan was for his birthday weekend with his two best friends while they waited for the movie to begin, "I think Blaise is taking me and Pansy to an Arcade on Saturday and Sunday Pansy is taking us to a fashion show, which I'm excited for!" Narcissa nodded along with a warm smile, "If anything, I think you should be in that fashion show", Draco giggled and shrugged, "They can't afford my beauty", Narcissa smirked at her son sass, "Right you are my boy". The movie started, catching their attention.

As they left the mall Draco was gushing over Benedict Cumberbatch and how hot he was, Narcissa just listened with a smirk on her face. Once in the vehicle, Draco asked to stop for ice cream on the way home which Narcissa gladly stopped to get, "I hope you'll have room for your birthday dinner", Narcissa chuckled as Draco devoured his cone, "Course I will, I can eat like I have three stomachs even though I'm tiny", Narcissa nodded in agreement as she pulled into the driveway. They both noticed Draco's father's vehicle and looked at each other before taking a deep breath and opening the door.

Draco spent an hour alone in his room to relax before he started hearing his parents argue through his door, he quickly stood up and grabbed his headphones to block out their yelling. Fifteen minutes later his crying mother came into his room and sat by his knees, he took out his headphones and gently grabbed his mother's hand, "What's wrong mum?" Narcissa took in a shaky breath, "I tried to convince him not to, I'm so sorry my baby boy, but your father is insisting that you move out right after dinner", Draco slapped a hand over his mouth and just stared at his mother before breaking down, Narcissa quickly wrapped her arms around him and kept apologizing repeatedly, "I did everything he asked of me except be a stereotypical male, why is he doing this?", Draco asked once he finally calmed down enough to talk, "He said you're not fit to be his son if you're going to act and dress like a girl, which I think is utter bullocks because you're the best son anyone could ask for".

Draco sniffed and stood, "I'm going to pack my essentials and leave, I don't want to have dinner with him if he is just going to disown me", Narcissa nodded solemnly and stood to help Draco.

Draco stood at the front door waiting for his mother to come to say goodbye, she was currently grabbing money from the house vault so Draco had something to live off of. Narcissa scurried to the front door and stuffed two rolls of cash into Draco's duffle bag before hugging him close, "I will do everything in my power to have you in my arms again, I will find you my sweet boy", Draco let out a choked sob and hugged his mother close, "I love you", Narcissa squeezed him tighter, "I love you too, so much", she reluctantly let go after placing a soft kiss to her son's cheek.

Draco smiled sweetly and turned around leaving his childhood home and his favourite person behind.
