She didn't mind that he was opening up to her about his life. She was used to it by now. People seemed to find her easy to talk to. "I guess you must have loved her a lot. I know that if I was to break up with my boyfriend, I would find it hard to let go also." But that was never going to happen. She hoped.
"Just because you have grown up doesn't mean you can't still be carefree. You just have to decide when the situation requires you to be serious." Sometimes she needed to take her own advice. It was funny that she could help so many people with their problems and yet when it came to her own, she seemed to ignore herself.
From the way Rafe was talking, she and Destiny were going to have one awesome adventure and Mia could feel herself getting excited until he mentioned the animals. "That's probably why Destiny is so obsessed with them. She wants to take a giraffe home." She shook her head thinking of the arguments they'd had over that.
Mia couldn't help but laugh. "I do eat dairy. It's vegan's who don't eat that. I don't like eating meat because animals have to be killed." She shrugged her shoulders. Not many people did get it. Even Nik at first couldn't understand why she wouldn't eat meat but he understood it now and even refuses to eat meat while she was around. She wondered if he gorges himself when she goes back to school?
She waved off his apology but what he said next almost had her dropping her bottle of butterbeer. Mia certainly had not been expecting that and she couldn't help but stare at Rafe for a moment before shaking herself. "Sorry I didn't mean...half-werewolf...that's...wow!" She was at a loss for words and that rarely ever happened to her. "So...so...how does that work exactly?"
Rafe sighed.
"I love her a lot, I don't think I'll ever get over her." He leaned back and stretched his legs across the seat. It almost felt like he was in a therapy session or something.
Mia was very wise beyond her years. He knew when it was necessary to be serious, but he felt like he was too serious almost all the time.
"I feel like I'm talking about myself too much. What about yourself? You seem rather content with yourself, which is awesome. I really admire your optimism." It really was refreshing to talk with someone who really had it together, but no matter how much you thought you knew someone from the outside, sometimes they were a completely different person on the inside.
Rafe chuckled at the thought of a giraffe wondering around Hogwarts.
"I think a giraffe would be a bit difficult to travel with, she might want to think something smaller, like a wart hog or meerkat." He was curious if she was talking about the same Destiny he knew?
"Are you talking about Miss Shepard?" He had a crooked grin stretch across his face.
"I don't think I'm her biggest fan ever since she thought I tried to set her on fire...which wasn't true I assure you...I was just trying to get her to reveal herself from hiding behind a bush." He laughed. That had been many, many years ago. He wondered if Destiny even remembered.
Vegan? Vegetarian? The words almost sounded foreign to him. If one of his 'brothers' said they were one of those they would be completely ridiculed.
"I can respect your choice, I just find it very difficult to go without meat." It was just part of that animal instinct.
Rafe leaped forward to help prevent her butterbeer from falling, but she seemed to have it under control. He couldn't help, but laugh at her reaction. It was amazing how different every revelation had been. He finally brought himself to stop laughing so hard.
"You're perfectly fine, I mean it's not every day I bet you encounter something like myself...My father is a pureblood wizard and werewolf and my mother was a pureblood witch...they were forbidden to have children, but as you can see me being here today...they're divorced and my mum raised me as we traveled all over the world until I got accepted into Hogwarts. Anyways, the only traits I possess is I get a little moodier around a full moon and I've had a beard since I was eleven...also lately, I've been able to extend my upper and lower canines when I focus my anger. I'm getting better at controlling my emotions, but you have nothing to fear." Rafe grinned. There was so much history and it was so complicated he didn't know if Mia would completely comprehend or just think he was some kind of freak.
