Stoneygem- I am just going to tell how Athena makes Snape's life miserable! (evil grin)
Chapter 2: Judging Athena
Snape stared at Athena, "All right Athena. Since I am here to entertain you, you can ask me anything or do anything except for jumping off from the rooftop or make friends with the Gryffindors. Am I clear?"
Athena nodded.
"Good, now sit down." Snape said, indicating the seat in front of his desk.
Athena went to the seat and climbed onto the tall chair. Snape went to his own seat and sat down, picking up his quill.
"Uncle Severe?" Athena asked.
"It's Severus." Snape said, trying not to growl. "Se-ver-us."
"Severus." Athena echoed slowly.
"Good." Snape said in satisfaction.
"Uncle Severus, what are you doing?" Athena asked as she looked curiously at the Potions' essays.
"Marking Potions essays."
"You teach Potions?"
"Yeah." Snape said flatly.
"You don't like it?"
"I prefer Defence Against the Dark Arts. But your Daddy won't let me to teach it."
"Why?"
"I dunno, ask your Daddy." Snape said, thinking that Athena was a witch full of curiosity.
"What house are you in?"
"Slytherin." Snape said proudly.
"Yuck." Athena said in disgust.
Snape frowned. "What's that 'yuck' mean?"
"Mummy and Mandy said that Slytherin is the worst house ever and Uncle Hagrid said that there's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin. Voldemort was one."
Snape narrowed his eyes, reminding himself to strangle Madam Hooch and Hagrid when they got back from wherever they came from. Then he frowned. "Hey, wait a minute, who teach you to say the name Voldemort directly?"
"Daddy."
"What else does he teach you?"
"Not much. Daddy and Mummy are too busy, most of time it is Mandy or Aunt Poppy who take care of me."
"So what does Madam Hooch teach you?"
"Who?"
"Madam Hooch, you know, Mandy."
"Oh Mandy!" Athena said happily. "She teaches me Quidditch."
Snape rolled his eyes. Obviously. What else does Madam Hooch know? "And Aunt Poppy?"
"Nothing. She just let me to do my own things."
Snape groaned, why didn't he think of that earlier? He could let Athena to do her own things so that he could do his marking in peace! "That's it! Athena, why don't you do your own things now? I have a lot of work to do."
"I don't have my canyons."
Snape blinked. "Come again?"
"Canyons."
"What's that?"
"Things for drawing. Daddy bought them for me last year."
"It's a Muggle stuff, right?"
Athena nodded.
"Well, I don't have canyons here either.." Snape said and opened his drawers. "But I got some sweets here..do you like sweets?" Snape asked, hoping that she, like Dumbledore, enjoys sweets.
Athena nodded again. Snape took out the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Acid Pops, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Pepper Imps and sugar quills (he confiscated them from the Gryffindors) and gave the pile to Athena. "Help yourself and if you want to play, sit over there."
Athena smiled happily and took the pile. She jumped off the chair and went to one of the students' seat.
Snape sighed in relief and returned to his marking. He barely got halfway through when a big blue bubble landed softly on the parchment, blocking his view. He swept the bubble aside and another bubble bumped him on his head. "What the...." He looked and gaped at the enormous bubbles hovering at the ceiling.
"Wow!" Athena said in delight and blew another bubble. "Look at them, Uncle Severus! They are so beautiful!" She said and popped another gum into her mouth.
"Athena, eat something else!" Snape said in panic, he didn't want blue bubbles to be his dark dungeon's decorations!
Athena blew another bubble. "Make me."
Snape slapped a bubble out of his view. "Or I will tell your Mummy." He threatened.
And that did it.
Athena quickly put the Droobles Best Blowing Gum down and took the box of Pepper Imps. She opened it and popped one into her mouth.
Snape frowned. Wait a minute, doesn't that sweet....his eyes widened and he ducked as Athena breathed a long stream of fire towards his direction. He straightened himself quickly and turned. "MY POTIONS INGREDENTS!" He exclaimed and rushed to his Potion Cabinet, which was on fire. He searched his robes frantically and took out his wand. "Fire Deletrius!" He shouted and the fire disappeared. He opened the cabinet. "Oh no." He groaned at the sight of burnt snake fangs, daisy roots, dried nettles (which seem even drier than before), and Shrivelfig.
Athena laughed. "This is fun!" She said and breathed a stream of fire towards the stone basin in the corner.
"Athena, don't eat that!" Snape shouted. "Your Mummy is not going to like this if she finds out!"
Athena groaned and took the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Snape cleaned up his cabinet, threw away his burnt ingredients and went back to his desk. A few minutes later, he looked up. "Athena, don't throw the beans on the floor, Filch don't like that."
Athena threw a vomit-yellow bean to the floor. "I don't like these flavours and I don't care about Filch." She said, lifting her head up.
"Eat something else then." Snape said, trying to keep an irritated note out of his voice. He began to think whether Athena was a spoil brat. He bended his head down to work again when...
He heard Athena wailing like a banshee.
"Now what? Athena, what's wrong?" Snape asked and Athena pointed at an Acid Pop.
"Uh oh. Show me your tongue." Snape ordered and Athena stuck out her tongue. Snape examined it closely and spotted a hole near the tip of her tongue. "Hold still." He said and took out his wand. "Hole Deletrius." He pointed and the hole disappeared. "There you go. Hey stop crying! The hole is gone!"
Athena stopped crying and sniffed.
"Good, now be quiet and eat a sugar quill." Snape ordered. Athena grabbed the sugar quill and sucked it quietly.
"This girl really obedient," Snape thought. "I wonder who she resembles, Dumbledore or Minerva...."
Athena put the whole quill into her mouth.
"Probably Dumbledore." Snape thought.
