I Belong

C18

The Christmas Holidays came swiftly for Athena and her friends .

On the day they left school , first for  the Burrow and then for Seattle with an International Portkey , Athena didn't think they'd make it in one piece .

She was scared that she'd made a mistake of bringing Harry Potter along because of the Death Eaters that was out there somewhere as well as Voldemort himself .

Fortunately for them it was like none of Voldemort's henchmen or he himself knew that Harry Potter was leaving the country to visit abroad with only his friends and two adults that had two different minds on this idea of Athena to want to visit her American family again .

Mr Weasley wasn't as against it as his dearly beloved spouse who only thought that Athena was putting herself and everyone else in grave danger .

It didn't take long to get to Seattle with a Portkey ,but just as always ,it was quite uncomfortable .

Athena didn't like it as much . She'd had taken a Muggle plane ride any day over the feeling of hooked behind the navel and falling .

From there it was another Portkey to La Push Reservation .

They landed in the woods behind the Clearwater's house from where Athena lead them to the front door where the same dogs as the last time lazily wagged their tails when they recognised her.

She smiled briefly and stepped up to the door to ring the bell, causing Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to jump slightly .

She suppressed a smile at that , remembering her first time hearing the doorbell ring .

Footfalls on the other side of the door brought her from her brief thoughts and it wasn't long before the door opened revealing Leah who huffed at seeing the group of strangers , excluding Athena ,on the doorstep .

" Hello ,Leah ", Athena greeted the older girl politely," Is your parents home?". She hadn't expected Leah of all people to open the door .

For a moment Leah looked conflicted about answering her and letting the strangers as well as Athena inside .

But before she could do anything ,other than letting them in, Harry Clearwater appeared behind her , having come to see who was at the door and why Leah seemed to take so long .

" Uncle Harry! ", Athena let out excitedly , pushing past Leah to hug him .

Leah huffed then left, leaving her Dad to let the people in .

Harry Clearwater hugged his niece fiercely and lovingly  before inviting in the strangers .

" My wife is at work . She'll be back later . Make yourselves at home . I take it that you're Molly and Arthur Weasley ?. Dumbledore wrote me a letter that you're coming along with the kids to supervise . I'm Harry Clearwater , Athena's Uncle .But I'm sure you already know that . We've set up the downstairs guest room for you . The boys  can sleep in the living room and the girls can sleep in Seth's room . He volunteered . Or rather he was voluntold by Sue ,my wife . Athena , can you please show  Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to the room you slept in last time . After that you can bring them to the kitchen . I'll make tea ."

Athena nodded at her Uncle then took Molly's hand to lead her to the guest room .

The other kids followed Harry Clearwater to the kitchen because they didn't really know where to go .

Harry Clearwater didn't mind . He would've suggested it to them  too .

Athena came to the kitchen to find  the other kids sitting around the table in silence while their eyes roamed over every inch of the room .
