INT. GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM - DAY

Athena, Neville, Hermione and Ron sit in a corner of the large common room, trying to ignore the talking and chattering going on all around them.

Hermione: [Angry and confused] How can Dumbledore let that horrible woman teach? And when we're taking our OWL tests too!

Many nod in agreement with Hermione, whilst some looking at the incredibly silent headmaster. Upon seeing the looks her just ignores them.

Ron: You reckon she's here to spy on us?
Neville: [Whispering] Well, not us specifically, but definitely Dumbledore and the order
Ron: [Shocked] How comes Neville knows about that!
Athena: I told him, he's my brother. He deserves to know

Ron and Hermione all nod at her, understanding her choice. At that moment, Angelina Johnson comes up to them.

Angelina: [Angrily] Well, way to go, Potter. Your detention is at the same time as Quidditch practice!

"Watch yourself girl" Marlene sneers.

Hearing Angelina, Fred and George come over, towering over the angry girl.

Fred: Angelina. I understand we are friends however, do. Not. Speak. To my girlfriend like that. It is not her fault

All the girls cheer at Fred whilst some of the male protectors of Athena nod at him in appreciation for sticking up for her.

Angelina glares up at Fred, who flares back at her with much force. George also glares at her. Angelina huffs before breathing in and out.

Athena: I'm sorry Ange...
Angelina: It's okay Athena, I'm sorry for shouting. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that, it's not your fault. After Oliver's left and I am now captain...I have a lot to make up for and all the stress is getting to me
Athena: [Smiling] If you need any help, you can always come to me
Angelina: [Smiling back] I'll take that into consideration...and please try to get out of detention, we're holding tryouts for a Keeper and I want the whole team there
Athena: I might not be able to get out of it but I can try my best

"That was definitely the Lily Evans coming out" Dorcas said.

Angelina smiles once more before walking off. Fred picks Athena up and sits down in her seat, putting her on his lap. George makes himself comfortable on the floor in-front of the group. The group laughs at something George says, the camera fades out.

"Get off his lap!" James shouts, crossing his arms and glaring at the screen.

INT. COURTYARD - DAY

Athena, Ron, Neville and Hermione are heading back inside to the Gryffindor common room. Theo and Blaise trailing behind them, trying to sneak in. The sun is setting in the distance.

Blaise: Well, guys and gals, shall we start on Snape's report?
Athena: I would but I have detention
Hermione: Good luck, Thena
Theo: If you want I can write two reports up, that way you can copy one. I would say you could hand it into Snape but mine and yours handwriting are completely different
Athena: Thank you Theo! You're a life saver
Theo: [Cheekily] I know
Neville: [Waving] Bye
Athena: Bye Neville, please don't stay up too late. You'll be too tired in the morning and your plants need watering

"Their sibling bond is so cute!" Alice gushed, Neville and Athena smile at each other. When Athena turns back to the screen she mentally prepares herself for what's going to happen next.
