Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, places, ideas, etc. that are contained within Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling does. The only thing I can even remotely try to claim ownership of is my part of the plot. So please don't sue me, remember I am a lowly 16 year old girl, I have no money, so you wouldn't be gaining anything. Anything else you recognize from any other place, I don't own that either, sometimes these ideas fly into my head before I realize where it came from. Thank you. I think that covers everything, I hope.

Chapter Three: The Raven and Other Misadventures In The Night

Danny picked me up right on time. I was wearing all black that night as the color befitted my attitude. I had on a one shouldered slouch shirt that was made of satin and had a long tie at the side. With it I wore my black leather mini with my silver linked belt that Danny got me for Christmas last year because he knew I had had my eye on it for a while. With it I wore my black Adidas indoor soccer shoes. I hardly ever paid attention to what I wore at school but at home I always looked my best. I even managed to formulate a new spell for my unruly hair. After all, I'm not the cleverest witch in my year for nothing. I also put on my jewelry. I had in silver hoop earrings, and a tiny hoop earring for my piercing on the cartilage of my ear, which I had pierced right after school, got out. A more recent acquirement however was the tiny diamond nose stud I put in which I had only pierced two weeks ago. I also put in my belly ring, which I've had for a long time but no one at Hogwarts knew about. Danny was with me when I got that one done. I couldn't decide what I'd get pierced next though. Either tongue piercing, but that sounded painful, lip piercing, or eyebrow piercing. I also put on a silver chain Danny had given me before I went to school last year, a phoenix hang from it.

I saw a change in Danny's eyes when he opened the door for me on his Mustang that night. Something about him had changed since I saw him last. He looked great in his black cargo pants and white wife beater under a black button up shirt that he left unbuttoned. He also had his eyebrow and lip pierced. I will admit it, that night he was hot, and I liked it. I had other things on my mind that night though so I thought no more of it.

We arrived at The Raven and cut inside, the bouncer was a friend of Danny's. Once inside we went wild and let loose. I may not seem like it but I love to dance. Not much happened until right before we left. And little did I know someone was watching me from the shadows. But that will come later.

I had so much fun that night. I got drunk that night, the first time I ever had. Danny had before but not me. Thank God that night he was sober. I had had to deal with so much all at one time and I ended up spilling out all those pent up feelings on Danny.

He knew I was drunk so we left and went to the park. We sat down on the bench and I was so tired I stretched out and rested my head on his lap. He saw something in my eyes I guess and asked what was wrong, and that's when it all came out. My feelings at Diagon Alley, the letter about my parents, everything.

I wasn't thinking straight but it all worked out that night. As I finished my story I added in something.

"Danny." I said.

"Yeah Mya?"

"I- I- I dunno! I can't deal with all of this. Why me! Why for the love of Merlin must this happen to me! What did I do?!"

"Mya. Mya." He cut in on my drunken rambling, " It's okay Mya. It'll be okay, babe." He said sweetly.

"God, Danny, if it weren't for you I don't know what I'd do. I missed you so much."

I sat up and smiled and leaned up to give him a hug but then I felt my stomach turn and I just lunged out of the way in time. I was sick all over the ground. After that I blacked out. What I remembered next was waking up in my room with a terrible headache. My mom was leaning over me and it looked as if she had tears in her eyes. Danny was on the other side of my bed with a guilty look in his eyes.

"You told her about the letter didn't you?" I asked him. He just nodded. "It's okay, it's easier that way." I said. Then I blacked out again.
