A/N: I own nothing even though I wish I did
Lalala - Draco's writing
Lalala- Athena's writing
Athena woke to a bird poking her. She lifted her self up and saw it was Fawkes. He had a note on his leg. She removed the note and read it.
Ms, Bane
I need you in my office before the transformation occurs. It is vital that you are not in the dorm when this happens.
Please come as quickly as you can and don't forget the amulet.
Dumbledore
Athena looked at the time. It was 11:30 pm . She had a half and hour before the transformation. She slid off her bed and put some shoes on, She walked down the stairs quietly, considering everyone was asleep, or so she thought. When she entered the common room there was a figure on the couch. She ignored it and walked to the portrait hole. She was about to leave the common room but a voice stopped her.
"Where are you going?" Athena turned and saw that the figure on the couch was Harry.
"Oh, I'm going to Professor Dumbledore's office. He requests my presence." replied Athena
"I told you stay away from people I know."
"But he needs me right now. So if you don't mind I would like to go to his office." Athena turned on her heel and walked out of the portrait. She snuck through the halls and made it to Dumbledore's office without being caught. Then she remembered that she didn't know his password. She looked around the corridor and saw there was a taffy on the floor. "Taffy?" said Athena and the statue leaped aside to let her go up. She knocked on the door. "Come in." said a voice. She opened the door and saw Dumbledore, Snape, McGonnagall, and Draco Malfoy. That was one person she didn't plan on seeing.
"Please take a seat Athena." said Dumbledore. Athena sat in the chair next to Malfoy.
"Now I know you are wondering why Mr. Malfoy is here. Well he too is a demon and a immortal. You two are the only mix of the species. Now, it is said that you two are each other's mate. Ms. Bane and Mr. Malfoy you will be escorted to a safe room where you will stay tonight. When you return to your dorms tomorrow, there will be a Pepper Up potion waiting for you to take which will help take some of the pain away. You will attend classes as normal. And please don't take your amulets off. Am I understood?" Athena and Draco nodded. "Good. Severus can you take them to room." Snape nodded and both of them followed him in silence.
They walked into a room that was as big a a common room. There were 2 doors. One had the bedroom in it and the other a bathroom. The main room was decked out in red, silver and black. The couch was black with a silver throw and red pillows. The arm chairs were red with black pillows. There was a small kitchen that was full stocked. The bedroom had only one bed. The sheets were silver. The cover was red and the pillows were a mix of black, red and silver. It was a four-poster bed. The bathroom was very large. The tub could fit 10 people. The till was silver and black. The marble on the counters was red. The walls were silver. Malfoy was sitting on couch with his head in his hands. She moved towards him and sat next to him. She put her hand on his back. He looked up and looked into her eyes. His eyes showed anger. Athena took her hand off of his back and moved towards the nearest wall. He moved with her and pinned her against the wall. Athena looked down.
"Look up." commanded Malfoy. Athena looked up.
"What's your problem?" he asked. Athena looked away and shook her head. She went to move away from him but he grabbed her shoulders and kept her against the wall. "What's wrong?"(AN" If your wondering why Malfoy is being nice, its becuase they used to be friends at one point and then they sorta stopped talking because it was ordered.)
"There's nothing wrong. Can you please unhand me?" said Athena. Draco released her and sat back on the couch. She sat next to him. She looked at her watch. It was 11:59. She counted down the seconds until it was time for the transformation. 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1.
Athena felt a shooting pain in her back. She fell onto the ground clutching her body. Draco kneeled beside her. She gasped for breath. She fell like someone was stabbing her in the back with an axe over and over again. She screamed loudly. Draco went to get a glass of water, but then he keeled over in pain. He landed with a thud on the floor. Athena screamed even more. Draco cringed and wiggled on the floor. She reached her neck and felt for her amulet. It was around her neck. It glowed brightly. The pain stopped just as quickly as it started. Athena took several breaths before getting up to look for Draco. He was on the floor, sweating. She ran over to him and took him in her arms. She needed human contact. Draco's arms wrapped around her. She felt very fragile in his arms. He picked her up and took her to the couch. He placed her on it and sat next to her.
Then something weird happened. Wings came from her back. The wings were a silver with red and black feathers. Then wings came from his back. They were black with red and silver feathers at the end. She looked at his in amazement. He looked at hers with curiousity. She moved towards him touched his wings. He did the same to hers. It sent shivers down their spines. They looked into each other's eyes. His silver-blue ones looked into fierce dark brown eyes. Then he did the unbelievable. He kissed her. Athena pushed him away and shook her head. Draco understood and opened his arms to her. She crawled into them . Soon they fell asleep in each others arms.
Athena woke up groggily from last night. She looked at the time. It was 5:00 A.M. She wouldn't be able to fall asleep again. She moved to get out off of the couch, but felt a pair of arms tighten around her waist. She looked at Draco and smiled. He was awake. He smiled back and kissed her head. She cuddled into him and was about to fall asleep again but the door opened and in walked Snape.
"You two look cosy. Get back to your dorms. Dumbledore says its safe now." said Snape. He turned on his heel and left the room.
"Well, its time for us to go, I guess." said Draco. Athena nodded and hugged him before getting up to straighten herself up. She was almost done when Draco hugged her and left. Athena left shortly after him and went to the common room. Hermione was there. Athena sat with her they talked about the most random stuff until Harry and Ron came down. Athena looked at Hermione with a worried glance, considering she told Hermione about Harry. She mouthed " Don't worry." and turned to the boys.
" Hey Ron, Harry." said Hermione gathering her stuff to go to breakfast. Athena mimicked her actions." Well let's go to breakfast. I'm starved." and with that she walked out of the common room. Athena walked out of the common room as well. She was catching up to Hermione but was then again attacked by someone. This person was becoming too predictable. It was Harry.
" Look you can threaten me all you want but I'm not going to giving up my friends just because you told me to." Athena walked out after saying that, leaving a very irritated Harry. Athena walked into the Great Hall and sat next to Hermione and Ron.
" Hey Ron." said Athena smiling at the boy eating across from her. He mumbled hi through all of the food he was eating. Athena chuckled and pout some waffles on her plate. She began to eat, when Harry came in looking all right.
He sat next to Athena. Athena tensed a bit but relaxed when Hermione gave her a reassuring glance. Ginny came and sat next to Hermione. She looked dreamy. Athena would inquire about it later. Athena finished her waffles and left the Great Hall. She had Potions with Professor Slughorn. ' What fun.' Athena thought as she headed for the dungeons. She was the first one there. She sat down and began to copy the notes on the board. Hermione arrived a bit later and sat next to Athena, copying the notes like she was. One by one people began to come into the classroom. The class was Advanced Potions. There were 5 Slytherin, a couple of Hufflepuff, 3 Ravenclaw and 5 Gryffindor. Professor Slughorn walked into the room and opened some of the windows to get air into the hot, mucky classroom.
"Today class we will be making Lily of the Valley. This potion is a bit lit Verisatuem. Lily of the Valley makes people tell the truth but it also lets people look into their mind like a pensive. So copy the notes and start the potion. Oh yes . . . you will also be paired into groups, Potter Weasley, Granger Longbottom, Lovegood, Zabini, Boot Parkinson, Chang Goyle, Abbot Macmillan, and Malfoy Bane. " He said walking to his desk. Athena walked over to Malfoy.
"Listen, you prepare the ingredients and I will make that the actual potion. Get it. Got it. Good." Athena said sitting as Malfoy prepped the ingredients. When he was finished, Athena saw he actually did a good job. She added the main ingredients and stirred. She was adding the wolfsbane and then BOOM! Athena's head whipped around. Harry and Ron's potion exploded in their face. The entire class laughed at the sight present. Malfoy tapped Athena on the shoulder. Athena turned around.
"Now we know that Potter doesn't know a thing about anything. " Athena began to giggle before stirring the potion again. They finished the potion first and handed it in. She sat next to Malfoy and doodled on a spare piece of parchment. He gave her a piece of paper and Athena read it.
Bane, What do you see in Potter.
Nothing Malfoy after he threatened me,
He threatened you
Yuppers
What did he say?
Why do you care?
Cause I do so what did he say
Well all he said was that I better stay away from his friends
He has no right
I know
Meet me at the lake at 7:00 p.m. tonight
Sure
The bell rang and Athena and Hermione walked back to the common room. They had double free while Harry and Ron had Divination. Athena sat on her bed and pondered whether or not to tell Hermione about her meeting. She decided against it and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was almost time for lunch. Athena straightened herself up and walked down the stairs. There were a few people there like Fred and George who decided to come back into 7th year with the gang. Athena walked past them saying hi and out of the portrait hole. She was walking down the stairs when she bumped into Malfoy. She walked past him but he grabbed her hand. Hermione, Ron, and Harry were coming down the opposite side as if they had been outside. They saw what was happening,
"Let go of me Malfoy." Athena said in a strong voice
"No."
" What do you want?"
"This" was the last thing he said before backing Athena into a wall. She pushed as hard as she could but he was too strong. "Stupefy!" said Hermione which Malfoy easily dodged with Athena still in his hands. He pushed her hard into the wall and kissed her forehead before walking into the Great Hall. Hermione and Ron ran to Athena and hugged her. Athena collapsed into their arms. Harry was smirking at the group.
" Why are you smirking?" asked an astonished Hermione
" She could've fought back." said Harry.
" You very well now she couldn't." said Ron standing up for Athena.
" Well, she probably deserved what she was getting." said Harry walking into the Great Hall.
Athena ran from Hermione's and Ron's arms and to the girl's bathroom. She was lucky that Moaning Myrtle wasn't there. She sat in one of the stalls and cried.
