''Good morning, miss,'' the young doctor greeted her, grinning at her with the fakest smile Athena had ever seen. ''I am the new Ministry doctor, and I will be treating you from now on.''

Athena gulped hard, as she slowly sat up on her bed. ''Where is doctor Michaels?'' she whispered, almost in fear.

She didn't trust the young man that was replacing him. Athena only trusted doctor Michaels.

''He has been promoted as the head director at the St. Mungo's hospital,'' he continued. ''He couldn't deny the position. That's been his ultimate dream, all these years.''

Athena felt some tears welling up in her eyes. ''He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to me first," she whispered, somehow hurt.

The doctor shrugged. ''I'm sorry, miss, that's all I know. Now, let me check you up.''

She nodded, knowing she had no other choice.

The hope she had that doctor Michaels could actually help her, had just be vanished into thin air.

''He's so beautiful,'' Ginny teared up, as she held her newborn son in her arms.

''He really is,'' Harry had teared up as well. ''I'm so proud of you, my love.''

Ginny smiled as they shared a sweet kiss. ''I can't believe our second son looks exactly like you! Again! When will I have my red haired baby?'' she faked a pout.

Harry chuckled, feeling happier than ever. ''Maybe our next one, will be a ginger baby.''

They both laughed as they stared at their son in adoration.

''Albus Severus...'' Harry whispered, feeling prouder than ever.

Harry really wished that he would have all of his loved ones by his side; his parents, Sirius, Albus Dumbledore, and even Severus Snape, who Harry gave his name to his son.

And of course, his sister.

Athena.

Harry had no close relatives with him, to share one of the happiest moments of his life.

If only Athena was here... Everything would be different, no doubt.

''So, what do you think, Mr. Malfoy?'' Theodore nervously asked the blond man in front of him.

They were both at the Malfoy Manor, and into Lucius's office. Theodore had brought the drafts to the senior Malfoy, to get his approval first, before actually starting making the Time Turner.

Lucius stared at the detailed sketch, wanting to make sure that everything was alright. ''Seems good to me. Good job, Nott.''

Theodore nodded. ''I'm glad you are satisfied with it, sir. But I have to warn you about something first," he cautiously said.

Lucius stared at him, with a raised eyebrow, and a cold expression on his face. ''Warn me about what?'' he almost spat, somehow annoyed.
