Antonella Fortescue was always close to a flame, if it was inside the oven her mother had on 24/7, if it was her brother's potion caldron... or the fires that wiped out her father's family. She was a flame, her hair, her lips and her heart. A slow burn, is what her mother called her, yet even with that warning she never expected to burn herself in her potions class. Especially next to none other, James Potter. Neither one of them expected to have to run from the fire, as they were both consumed already by its sinister flames. A dance so fast, a love so bright... It should have been a flame. Harry Potter alternate universe (won't follow the canon Harry Potter series)
