I own nothing.
After several hours bored out of her mind, Athena could see the train platform approaching, she packed up her ipod and the book she was reading before the train came to a stop. As she disembarked, she was careful to stay out of the way of students and follow the flow of traffic to carriages been pulled by what she assumed were invisible horses, though she could see them, being a demi-god had its perks after all. She once again locked the door once she had safely locked herself away in, carefully avoiding the looks thrown her way for being out of uniform, not that she had one, as far as she knew all she had to do was make sure everything important was covered. It didn't take long before the carriages started to move, Athena watched as the castle loomed farther into sight until students started getting out in front of the main staircase. She waited until the biggest group of students had passed to get out and follow them inside.
Once inside Athena bumped into Professor McGonagall waiting for the first year students. She stopped briefly to talk with the old battle axe, general small talk, how her train ride was, how the student population was faring. When the feast eventually started she slipped in before the first years and walked up to the head table, sitting at one of the empty seats to the right of Dumbledore. It wasn't until she was seated that she noticed how silent the room was, she had assumed these things were loud, boisterous. She supposed the entire population was surprised at Dumbledore's appearance. As soon as the first years were sorted, Dumbledore stood and addressed the students as to he's sudden reappearance. It wasn't until he got to the new additions to the staff that the commotion started.
"And I would like to introduce our youngest addition to the faculty this year, please welcome Professor Athena Potter, your new Muggle Studies instructor." Dumbledore said as I stood and waved.
As expected, murmurers broke out across the great hall, the loudest coming from my brother.
"No! Not possible!" Harry yelled standing.
"It is my boy, it is a long story that is best not gone over now." Dumbledore said trying to placate his outburst.
"Its' not possible! It's some trick, it has to be!"
"If I were you I, I would sit down, before I make you little brother." I said so low, if the hall wasn't silent when I said it, no one would have heard.
"What the bloody hell is going on?!"
"Harry James Potter, watch your damn language." I said as I waved my hand and forced him to sit, "You will sit down, enjoy the start of term feast, and when it is all over we will talk, NOT NOW, understood?" I asked as the entire hall started shaking.
He nodded, a scared look in his eyes, before I released him and sat back down, nodding to Dumbledore, who quickly finished his announcements and sat down as food appeared in front of us. Well that went better than I thought it would, I told the old fool he needed to be told prior to this just being thrust on him.
On the other side of the hushed Great Hall Draco Malfoy sat just as shocked as the rest of the population. Potter had a sister? A sister that was just the right age to be his mate. Things were about to get very interesting.
Once the feast was over Harry and his two friends stormed up to the head table, demanding answers.
"Not here, we'll go to my office and discuss everything." Athena said getting up.
"No offense, professor, but we're not going anywhere until we're convinced this isn't some death eater trick." Hermione said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yeah, never know who's trying to kill Harry." Ron agreed.
"Oh for the love of…"
"Mr. Weasley you will go with Professor Potter and not talk back or I will take points." Professor McGonagall said sternly.
"Fine." Harry said taking a good look at the women claiming to be his sister.
The group followed her silently up to the third floor, the same corridor that once held Fluffy to the new professor's office. Once inside they noticed it looked more like a living room than an office. Athena waved her hand and a fire sprung up in the grate as she collapsed into an over-sized leather arm chair.
"Sit, make yourselves at home, this is gonna take awhile." She said with a smile.
"So you're my sister?" Harry asked incredulously.
"Technically, yes, but it's way more complicated than that."
"How can you only technically be someone's sibling, I thought that was an all or nothing deal?" Ron asked.
"What do you guys no of the old gods?"
"What do you mean the old gods?"
"I mean the Greco-Roman pantheon."
"Are you saying you're a demi-god? That's impossible, I've never heard of anyone actually being born from a God." Hermione said smugly.
"And Dumbledore just awoke from the grave on his own?" Athena asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm sure there's a logical explanation for it." She sniffed.
"Dad a little help here." Athena called.
A flash of lightening erupted and there stood Zeus, tall and intimidating.
"You called my princess."
"He never actually helped raise any of his other children, so I'm a tad bit coddled. Dad prove to them I'm not lying."
"How did you apparite into Hogwarts it's supposed to be impossible?" Hermione asked.
Zeus looked at the three of them and in a few seconds they blinked and looked at Athena.
"Wow she glows, how come you don't glow Harry?" Ron asked excitedly.
"It's a demigod thing, our auras glow gold. Thank you daddy." Athena said as Zeus kissed her forehead.
"Anytime love, have fun." He said before in a flash he was gone.
"How does that work?" Hermione asked.
"I dunno, never asked." Athena said with a shrug.
"Ok but how are you my sister? Nobody ever mentioned you."
"Easy, with the whole war and everything my father decided that it was best if Voldemort never knew I existed so he talked our mother into letting him take me away and trapping the memories of me away until the threat had passed." Athena said simply.
"So that you would be safe and that it wouldn't give them the upper hand." Harry said slowly.
"Ding, ding, ding we have a winner!" Athena said with a smile.
"I guess it makes sense, but if you were my sibling why didn't you go to the Dursleys with me?"
"I really am sorry about that, as soon as I was old enough to know what was going on I begged my father to let me come back, but he wouldn't budge. It was too dangerous if He got a hold of me. You don't understand, I'm not your average witch, I don't need a wand, never have, I think something and it happens and it's not accidental, it just is." Athena explained. "I was hoping we could get to know each other while I'm here"
"You're my blood, the last living link to my parents, of course I want to get to know you." Harry said before getting up and hugging her.
"Thank you baby brother." Athena said with a smile, "Now, get to bed, classes start early."
