Sirius's voice and accusations were still running through her head, when she had sat on the grass outside the Potter Manor. Her soft brown eyes were red with tears, as they dripped down one by one on her lap. Her mind flashed at the day of her sorting in her third year at Hogwarts.
"Hufflepuff!" The Sorting hat yelled as cheers erupted from the Hufflepuff table. Athena smiled delightedly at her sister, who hopped down the stool and stood beside her.
"Don't worry. The hat will sort you at your destined house." Andrea smiled at her encouragingly.
Athena sucked in a deep breath as she sat at the table, confidently.
'hmm… I can see the blood of Leonhart flowing into your veins. Your cousin Elizabeth Leonhart was definitely not a common witch. You will do great in the future, I can see it. You are brave, like a Gryffindor, but are too smart to be in Ravenclaw. You are loyal like a Hufflepuff, but are too proud of your heritage to be in it. But what is greater than your bravery and smartness is your ambition to bring down any kind of evil. Your sister Andrea is ambitious, but her loyalty succeeds all. But your ambition and ability to save their necks is more impressive… better be..'
"Slytherin!" The sorting hat bellowed and the Slytherin house erupted in cheers. I hopped down the stool and ran to my sister, hugging her with all my might. I looked at the three friends I made today, but my smile dropped seeing their faces. Harry's face had an unreadable expression on, Ron was visibly glaring at her, and Hermione was nervously. She didn't know what it meant, but she knew it was bad. And it was confirmed the very next day.
Ron, Harry and Hermione openly hung out with Andrea, but Ron and Harry ignored her, only Hermione exchanging a few words with her. Athena started feeling left out, and she cried at the loneliness. Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott, two of her fellow Slytherin mates, found her crying, and started hanging out with her. Until one day, Andrea lashed out at Ron and Harry.
"What's your fucking problem guys!? Why are you tormenting my sister!!" Andrea's furious yell boomed through the whole corridor which only consisted of three Gryffindor, a Hufflepuff, and Three Slytherins.
"Your sister is a Slytherin!" Ron snapped back.
"So what!?" Andrea crossed her arms. "Even if she is, we believe in our upbringing! Just because she is ambitious doesn't mean she is evil!" Andrea yelled again and grabbed Athena's hand. "Now, don't contact me ever again if you can't be friends with my sister." She screamed again, dragging Athena with her.
Athena quitely laughed through her tears. A flap of clothes made her wipe her tears, as the person flopped down beside her.
"You know, you shouldn't mind Sirius. He is just being overprotective." He quietly said.
"I have known Sirius for quite a while. He will take time, but will come around." She replied with a smile.
"He is still a bit edgy due to his family being pure blood supremacists." He said.
"I know. His mother is a screaming Banshee." Athena shuddered, remembering the time she heard Walburga Black spewing profanities at them. She only didn't say anything to Andrea and Athena, because even Walburga knew Archembeaus and Leonharts are never to be messed with. My apologies but, do I know your name? You look quite familiar." She asked.
He smiled, his red hair shining against the sun. "Fabian, Fabian Prewett."
.
"So, let's start with our horcrux Hunt." Andrea said, tying her hairs up in a bun, from which some escaped curls fell down.
"Wait a minute, Andrea." Everyone looked at Remus. "This is a time of crisis, I know everyone believes you and I do too, but it will be good if you provide us with some proof that you are stating the truth and you REALLY are from the future." He said.
"You really need proof, Remus?" Athena asked.
"He is right, Thena." Andrea cut her off. "We didn't even let anyone enter our home without double– no, triple checking. And if someone just pops up and says that you all are going to die, will we believe them?" She asked and Athena shook her head. "We should show them." Andrea nodded.
"But I can't watch them die again." Athena's tears started forming in her eyes.
"We have to, please." Andrea pleaded softly. "Only for Harry." Athena fell silent at that, her midnight black hairs slowly changing to mousy ones, making everyone gasp.
"What?" Athena tilted her head confusingly, as her hair changed back to midnight black.
"Your hair, they changed colors." Frank pointed out and realization dawned upon Athena's face.
"It must have happened accidentally. I usually have control over my hair." She said with a shrug, as some of her black locks turned into deep blue. "I usually keep my black hair with blue highlights. Looks cool." She grinned cheekily.
"So you are a metamorphmagus?" Lily asked.
"Yes." Athena nodded. "I inherited Father's ability. While Andy inherited our great grandmother Alianova's Legilimency." She pointed at Andrea who smiled sheepishly. "But we are both experts in many things." She added quickly.
Remus quickly came out of his shocked state, and cleared his throat. Andrea nodded, breathing deeply, and picked up a purple beaded bag.
"Me and Hermione had made these bags and put extension charms on them. It really helped them on the run." Andrea said as she rummaged through it.
Meanwhile Lily had approached Athena, and tapped her on the shoulder. Athena turned to see a pair of emerald eyes staring at her nervously.
"You are a Metamorphmagus, if you don't mind, can you show us how our s-son looked?" Lily softly said, and Athena looked at her with a blank face, until a smile broke on her face. She nodded, closing her eyes.
Everyone except Andrea watched as Athena's black hairs shortened, and were messed up so badly that they gave James a good competition. Her skin tanned to light brown, and her normal brown eyes turned to beautiful emerald green as a pair of round glasses appeared over them. Her body shifted and she became a little more skinny.
Lily's hand went over her mouth, as she grabbed James for support, and James was struck on the floor as he looked at his replica, with different eyes.
"Is this what Harry looked like?" Remus asked Andrea softly who nodded with a small smile on her face.
"Bloody hell!" Sirius swore. "He looks just like you, Prongs!" He grinned as Athena turned back.
Andrea took out a dish with clear liquid swirling,as Athena joined her softly discussing the memories.
After a moment, the girls turned to everyone.
"We have decided to show you a gust. From Pettigrew's confession and Voldemort's return in fourth year till our final moment." Andrea said. "Anyone else you want to welcome for this roaler coaster?" Athena asked.
Alice raised her hand. "I think we should call Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall." She said and others nodded, and Gideon sent a Patronus to the professors about it. Once they came, Athena cracked her knuckles.
"Get ready for the roller coaster."
