Chapter 2

Three days had passed since the incident and Aura had been getting along fine. And you could currently find Aura and Athena up in their dorm getting Thena ready for her date. There were close scattered all over the floor and the beds. The vanity was a mess cluttered with make-up and hair products. Thena was looking in the mirror checking herself over once again. She had on dark blue jeans on with knee high boots under them; her shirt was red and it said 'Hi, Loser' across the breast and she had on a pitch black cloak over it. Her make-up was black eye liner, brown mascara, a light red eye shadow, and LOTS of lip gloss. Her hair she thought was the best part. It had been curled but a few silver streaks were left straight to give it the right look about her, she had hair sprayed it so it would stay up longer.

"You look great Thena." Said her sister jumping up and down.

"You're more excited about this than me." Thena laughed.

"Yea well Sirius is pretty hott if I do say so myself. And Remus told me Sirius really wants this to work because he really likes you."

"REALLY!?" Athena screamed.

Just then her midnight black cat with emerald green eyes ran to her and begged to be picked up. Thena laughed and cast a fur resistant charm on her clothes. She picked up Faith, said goodbye to her sister and walked down stairs. Once she was down there she noticed that Sirius wasn't there yet so she sat down on the couch petting Faith. A few minutes later Sirius came down for the dormitories and saw Athena staring at the flames.

"You look great." He said staring at her.

She turned around quickly and stood up with her cat in her hands. Softly she put down Faith and walked up to Sirius. But before she got there the Hogwarts slut came up and stood in front of her and kissed Sirius straight on the mouth. Sirius' eyes widened and he pushed her off and wiped off his mouth with his sleeve. Thena just looked on stunned but suddenly she came to her senses. She tapped Liz on the shoulder and when Liz turned around she slapped her. Sirius looked on trying not to laugh.

"Ok Liz, was it? Ok your new name is whore. Now listen closely because I know this will be hard to understand with that little tiny mind of yours. Sirius is currently mine. OK? M-I-N-E. So you are warned keep those filthy things you call hands off him."

With that she grabbed Sirius' hand put it around her waist as she put hers' around his and they walked off. Once they were out of the portrait hole Sirius started to crack up holding the wall for support.

"Oh my god. That was great. That was so funny!" he gasped out. Finally he straightened up and looked at Thena who was smirking and leaning up against the wall.

"Did you mean it?" he asked.

"Mean what?"

"What you said in there about me being yours?" he questioned.

Athena looked down at her feet and muttered a small yes. Sirius smiled and put his finger under her chin and lifted it so their eyes met.

"I'm glad I belong to you." And he kissed her. One hand under her chin the other against the wall. Just then someone behind them cleared their throat and Sirius jumped away from Athena. He turned around and there was Professor McGonagall looking grave.

"Black go to the common room. Miss Radcliffe… Athena follow me please."

Thena kissed Sirius on the cheek and walked quickly after the Professor. Within the next 2 minutes they had arrived at the Headmasters' office.

"Jelly Beans" said McGonagall, "Go on up child I'll be right behind you."

Athena took a step on the moving staircase and soon was in front of a door. She knocked twice and walked in Professor McGonagall right behind her, true to her word. Athena took a seat in front of Dumbledore's desk and looked at him. He looked grave. Not happy, twinkling, and smiling as he always was.

"Uncle Albus?" said Athena shakily, not liking this side of her uncle.

"Athena, darling, as you know Voldemort has risen and he is recruiting followers and if they say no they end up dead." He stopped there his eyes watering he blinked them back and took a deep breath.

"Last night Voldemort went to your home. He asked for your parents to join him and they refused. I'm…I'm sorry Athena. They didn't make it out alive."

Athena was gasping for air by the time Albus was finished with his little tale. She tried to stand but ended up falling to the ground. The Headmaster stood up and quickly kneeled down next to her putting his arms around her. Saying soothing words of comfort. But Athena felt no comfort. Right now she felt nothing but cold and darkness. She wiped her eyes and walked out of the Headmasters office without a word. It was no use wiping them away for a new one started again. Some how Athena ended up back at the Gryffindor tower. She said the password and walked in. It seemed the whole world was in there. She stopped walking about 20 feet away from the portrait hole, basking in the glow of the fire. Sitting on the couch in front of her was the Marauders, Lily, and Aura. They were all laughing and smiling until they saw Athena.

She looked horrid. Her lip gloss was smeared and eye liner and mascara was all down her face.

She looked at Aura and said, "M… My Parents…they're…dead."

After she said that she fell to the ground. Aura raced to her side and put her arms around her and just held her while she cried. To Athena it seemed like she cried for hours. After a half an hour she had fallen asleep and Sirius scooped her up.

"Sirius you can't go in the girls' dormitories." Said Lily.

"Who said I was going to the girls' dormitories?" he said as he walked up the stairs to the boys' room.

An hour later Athena woke up next to Sirius who was reading a book (gasp). When he noticed she was awake.

"Hey are you ok?" he asked kissing her on the cheek.

She nodded and rubbed her eyes. Just then James, Lily, Aura, and Remus walked in and saw Sirius lying next to an awake Athena rubbing her eyes. Aura quickly rushed over.

"Open your eyes Athena" she said.

Athena did as she was told. Aura conjured a contact case and took out Athena's for her.

"Thanks." Thena croaked. She looked behind Aura and saw the gang.

"Hi guys."

Then Lily burst into tears and rushed over to squash Thena with a hug. Lily wouldn't let go and she kept on saying I'm so sorry.

"Lily let me go I can't breath!" Thena yelled.

"Sorry." Said Lily finally letting go.

"Are you sure your ok?" asked Sirius.

"Everyone just leave me alone!" Thena screamed then she changed in a black panther with gold eyes with red flecks in them. Then she ran for the door, but before she could get out a stag and a big black dog was at the door way so she turned to the window. There on its ledge was an orange, yellow, red phoenix. Softly the phoenix started to sing its song. Slowly drifting the panther to sleep. But before it could sleep it crawled into bed and changed back. Then she promptly fell asleep.
