I gulped and stared at the package that my owl had delivered. It looked like any other parcel, but it was special. It was from Mary. It looked like a time bomb, waiting to explode.

"Oh, whatever," I sighed and ripped the brown paper off the package. A card fell out. It said, "Happy Birthday, sweetie. See you soon." Did that mean...?

In the parcel was a muggle condom and an address. Bloody hell...

"Yes!"

It didn't matter that I had to go to a special banquet to "celebrate my birthday". Only that one address echoed in my mind.
