NOTE: Here's a little historical note. Below, you'll see the name Bonnie Prince Charlie. Just so you know, Charles Edouard Stuart (or Bonnie Prince Charlie) was the leader of the second Jacobite' rising in Scotland. He lost at Culloden in April 1746. That's when the clans were destroyed and the tartans were banished. His emblem was a white rose. I actually have that tattoo in my back :)
DISCLAIMER: All HP's character belongs to JK Rowlings; every other are mine and so is the plot.

Chapter 11: When the sun gets hotter
I took my bags and went outside. I put Jester and Salem in a cage. I'm stunned. A part of my brain, not affected by my feelings, had the reflex of picking up the parchment before I left. I glance back at the house before getting out of the huge iron fence. I see Draco behind the curtains of what used to be our room. He looks at me; I can feel sadness coming from him. Another figure appears behind him and he turns around before I could wave good-bye. The other one must've been his mother. Damn that bitch, evil, vicious woman!
I Apparate in front of my aunt's house with my bags. She runs toward me. She says Draco sent her an owl saying I would be coming. She also says that Draco didn't say why. She asks me to explain what happened. I don't know what to answer because I still don't know what really happened. All I can do is getting on my knees and cry. She puts her arms around my shoulders and helps me get up. I follow her, still sobbing, inside the house. Katarina is there. She was waiting for me with a cup of hot chocolate. " I'd rather have something stronger, » I say.
" Better keep your mind clear, sweetie, if you want your man back!
- I don't want him back. I don't care about him. I was with him because he could teach me magic. That's all. I have no feelings for him, at all.
- Who are you trying to fool, my niece? You do love him. Now tell us exactly what happened"
I told her everything, from what I heard in the classroom until the moment he said " I'm sorry Ely. It's just too important". Louisa looks concerned and Katarina looks outraged.
- Is true you did not have sex for two weeks?
- Katarina, this is not of our business.
- But, Mother, we both know Draco Malfoy! Two weeks without getting laid is enough to
have him loose his mind!
- Katarina!
- Seems you don't like him that much" I tell my cousin.
" It's not that I don't like him. I do like him, a lot. I went out with him back in Hogwarts. We dated for a month and broke up. No Slytherin can go out with a Griffyndor too long. The peer pressure is way too much to handle. The competition is too hard between our houses. This is not the point here; the point is that, even though he changed a lot, he's still a Malfoy and a Slytherin. We can trust him but he's still an easy target when it comes to money.
- Or all that concerns his family. They are really uptight about their inheritance. If you add both together, you have the greatest weapon to have a Malfoy do whatever you want. His mothers knows it, » adds aunt Louisa. Then she asks, " What was that parchment you told us about? What did it say?"
" I don't know, I didn't read it. You can. Here, I took it with me before leaving"
I take it out of my pocket and give it to her. She reads it and says " Oh! Merlin's beard! It's a prophecy written by my own mother. I wonder how Narcissa managed to get it! »
"What does it say?" I ask. She gives it to me and I read the cause of my outcast for the first time.
When the days get longer
And the sun gets hotter
A lonely son will meet a lonely daughter
Her eyes the colour of the earth and her hair like fire
Will cast pure and burning desire
In the heart of the lonely heir
The heir will show her how
To master all arts and vow
They would be one now
Their love and passion will be the start
Of a great family falling apart
She will raise evil by mastering the dark arts
The rose on her back will show
Why the heir needed to go
For it's the sign to resign and bow
Prosperity and power will be the price to pay
For the lonely heir could say
He should've never obey
The family will never rise again
They will suffer great pain
And the lonely daughter will gain
"What? Is that supposed to talk about me?
- Of course it does, the eyes, the hair, » answers aunt Louisa
- The lonely daughter? I am not a lonely daughter! I have a brother!
- No, she meant the only girl from your generation.
- I am not either! Katarina is from my generation!
- Yes, but she's not your blood. She' adopted. Her real parents got killed in Voldemort's first rising. So you are the only daughter in the family. I'm just wondering about the rose on her back...what does that mean?
- I have a tattoo at the bottom of my back. It's the bonnie prince Charlie's white rose with the Scottish' flag on it.
- Oh, How did Draco see it?
- Well...ahem...
- Ok, too much information!
- Anyway, the point is that my boyfriend, who said he trusted and loved me, just broke up because of an old piece of shit. I'm don't care about this damn prophecy.
- You don't understand, its way to important to not care about it. It means that you have the power to destroy the Malfoy." says Katarina.
- But I don't want to destroy them. I don't want to destroy Draco; I love him.
- Maybe, but Lauria had seen something else. There's one thing bugging me, though. There's something wrong about this parchment. Can I have it? I have something to look up.
- Do whatever you want with it, aunt Louisa. Set it on fire and dance naked around it if you wish so, I don't mind. I don't want to hear about magic anymore. I would give everything I have to be back at my place, on that Friday night. Everything was perfect. Now, I'm going to my room"
