Athena sat in her favorite chair in the common room. It was nice and squishy. She took out her Charms book and began her work. Ten minutes later, Hermione, Ron, and Harry came into the common. Ron looked as if the world was about to end meaning he had a lot of homework. Hermione looked pleased with her self meaning she just finished her homework. And Harry had an impassive face.
"Hey Athena" chorused Hermione and Ron before going up to the boys dorm to do who knows what.
"Hey Harry" Athena said before turning her attention back to her Charms homework. Harry didn't reply all he did was sit on the couch and stare into the fire. The silence between them was awkward. They hadn't spoken at all summer considering Harry was doing stuff for Dumbledore. She looked through the corner of her eye and saw that Harry was tired and stressed. Athena wanted to talk to him but decided against it.
It was ten minutes before Ron and Hermione came back downstairs looking a flushed. Athena gave Hermione a look that said that they would talk later. Athena looked at the time. It was time for dinner. She packed her stuff and went to her dorm. She dropped her bag and walked back down the stairs. Ron, Harry, and Hermione were already gone. She walked towards the portrait hole. When she was out of the hole and walking down a corridor, she was pulled into an empty classroom. She turned to face her attacker, with her wand at the ready. It was Harry.
"Harry, never do that again." Athena said, wanting to slap him right then and there for scaring her.
"Sorry. I just wanted to talk to you for a second." said Harry sheepishly
"It's ok. Just don't do it again or I'll have to jinx you into the next century." Athena joked. She sat on a desk." What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, Dumbledore told me something about your family that I didn't like."
Athena turned defensive. She didn't know what her family was like considering they disowned her because she was a Gryffindor. Her father was accused of being a death eater. Athena found out it was true. She wasn't named after the goddess for nothing.
"What did he say about my family?"
"He said that your father is a demon that wants to enlist an army for Voldermort. He was going to take muggles' lives and turn them into half-demons."
Athena relaxed a bit. Her father was bent on doing that forever so it came as no shock to her.
"Thanks for telling me Harry." Athena hopped off the desk and turned to leave
"I'm not done yet."Athena turned to him and stood in her place. Harry continued
"I want you to stay away from everyone that I know." Said Harry. He left the room before Athena had the chance to say anything else. She walked out of the classroom and headed towards the Great Hall. She sat on the end of the table with Neville Longbottom. They didn't talk and Athena left the feast early with an "upset stomach".
Athena thought about what Harry had said. Something about it was off. Harry would've let her say something before he left. Athena concluded that she needed to talk to Dumbledore as she walked through the portrait hole. She up the stairs to the girls dorm. When she walked in, on her bed, there was a note.It said
Daughter,
By now, I guess that you have heard about my plan. I know you where disowned by my parents, but know this, I still love you. Anyways you've probably figured out that you are a demon by blood and relation to me. But what you don't know is that you are an immortal. You probably think that immortals are demons. but there is a difference. Demon die at one point in time and are reborn instantly, but as a new person. Immortals, however, can obviously never die. With the combination of your immortality and demon blood, you created a new species. Now if the Dark Lord knew that then he would've had his way with you by now. Your full power comes in at midnight. Tell Dumbledore about it. He will know what to do. And take your amulet with you. Put it on as soon as possible. It might ease the pain. You will hear from me in a few days. Remember, I love you. And only tell Dumbledore.
Father
Athena re-read the letter about 5 times before sitting on her bed. She couldn't believe what was happening. Then she reached for her neck and felt that her amulet wasn't on. She got it from her trunk. She changed her clothes and began her homework. She needed a distraction. Half an hour later she was finished. 'It wasn't much of a distraction.'thought Athena. She checked the time and saw that people should be in the common room by now. She walked down the stairs to the common room. Athena sat in front of the fire to warm up from the chill in the dorm. Suddenly Hermione ran into the common room. She looked livid. (AN: Three guesses why.)
"What happened?" asked Athena
"Ron" said Hermione
"Ohhhhhh. Okay I understand."
"Yeah thanks. Why did you leave earlier?" Athena tensed up.
"No reason."
"I don't believe you."
"Well then don't."
They looked at each other. They broke out laughing just as Harry and a very red looking Ron came into the room. Athena instantly shut up. Hermione looked at her wondering why she stopped laughing. Harry glared at her. Athena ran out of the room and up to the dorm. Then she remembered she had to go to Dumbledore before midnight. But she was tired. It was 9:00 pm. 'If I rest my eyes for a little then I can go see Dumbledore.' Athena put her head on the pillow and fell asleep.
Meanwhile...In Dumbledore's Office
Dumbledore paced in his study. He didn't know if she had gotten thenote. He was worried she would forget to go and see him. He looked for her in his copy of the Marauder's Map. She was in her dorm, sleeping. Her aura was pulsing though. She has gotten the note and her mind was racing. He couldn't blame her. It was very shocking when Dumbledore heard it 16 years ago. It still is to him now. Fawkes was on his perch. Dumbldore walked towards him and gave him a note. "Give this to Ms. Bane. She's asleep at the moment so try to wake her up." Fawkes took the note and flew out of the window. Dumbledore sat in his chair and waited. For that was all he could do. What he didn't know was that someone was waiting to in the corner of Athena's dorm room.
