Athena woke up with Lily shaking her "Athena!" She shook her one last time

Athena sat up stretching her arm "why am I here" she looked around

Lily shrugged her shoulders "no clue" she hugged Athena "Marlene said the holidays have been very hard for you. I'll always be here alright ?" She cupped Athena's face

Athena nodded politely before getting up and getting on with her day. She made sure she went to see Professor Slughorn

"Morning sir" she said putting her bag down in his office "haven't seen you in a while" she looked at one of his plants on his desk

"Oh come in my dear. I spoke to your father not long ago" he put his hand on his heat "oh what a lovely soul he his. We planned to get a beer one day"

Athena grinned "good to hear he's already planning to go out" she sat down and chatted with the man for about two hours.

After lessons she just sat on her bed waiting for something to distract her

Richard walked in and passed her a broom "come on we're practicing" he basically had to drag her out of bed.

They walked onto the pitch to see a couple of Gryffindors there too, James wanted to do a practise match.

The practise went well, James and Athena were on each other's tails trying to grab the snitch. After an hour of Athena beating James's ass and her being snug about it they decided to call a quits.

Athena got to her dorm to see a letter on her bed, she was terrified that it could be about Beth. She quickly picked it up and opened it

Dear Miss McKinnon
Please meet Professor Albus Dumbledore in his study at 4:30pm. Please and thank you

Athena couldn't see who it was signed by. She put the letter down and headed straight to the headmasters study. She walked up the stairway and knocked on the door

"Come in Athena" Dumbledores voice came from the door. Athena walked in "glad you came" he sat it his chair "I've been needing to have a little chat"

"Am I in trouble ?" She said, she couldn't remember anything she had done recently. Or was it the time she punched Malfoy ? Surely it couldn't, that was ages ago.

"I wanted to ask if you could do a slight favour for me ?" He said gesturing her a seat opposite him "there's a witch in London who is under cover, her name is Annabelle Pickhurst, she is in her late 20s and she has some information." He paused "I think you could get this information Athena as you two are very similar"

Athena smiled. She was finally doing something to help "yes of corse I'll do it" she said a bit too enthusiastically "when ?"

"Tonight. I don't want you going alone so I suggest you take Remus Lupin with you, he knows the muggle world" he sat up "I've booked a hotel for you near Kings cross as this could take more than a day"

"Right" she nodded her head

"I have a bag of things you will need" he held up a bag "I heavily suggest you pack money your clothes and your toothbrush" he winked

Athena stood up "alright thank you sir" she started walking away

"Athena" he stopped her "you do not tell anyone but Remus"

She nodded "will do" she hurried out.

She walked to the Gryffindor common room and saw Marlene going in "Marlene! Hold the door" she yelled running

Marlene luckily held it open "why are you coming in here ?"

"Needed to talk to Remus about some homework" she smiled and shoved her way in.

She saw Remus sitting on the sofa surrounded by the mauraders "Remus" she walked to him "can we talk ?" All of the boys turned their attention to her

"Yeah of corse" Remus stood up off the sofa shoving James off his shoulder

"I feel well left out" Sirius tutted "can you not just tell us too ?"

"No" she exhaled dragging Remus away to his dorm.

James and Sirius looked at each other and sort of nodded to follow and ease drop.

Remus walked up the final stair and stared at his friend "what is it you need ? Is Beth okay ?"

She put the bag on his bed "start packing your stuff we're going away for a couple days" she opened the bag

"What why ?" He frowned

She sighed "the order wants me to do a mission and I was told to bring you" she smiled grabbing a couple of his normal clothes and stuffing them in the bag "there's this girl called Annabelle Pickhurst and we need to get information"

"Annabelle Pickhurst ? Who the bloody hell is that" he put some shoes in the bag

She shrugged "no clue she's in hiding. That's why we gotta find her" she smiled. Athena paused at the door

"What's the problem ?" Remus looked at her in concern. Athena huffed, she opened the door as Sirius and James fell on the floor in front of her feet

"Boys!" She put her hands on her head "what are you doing"

"We wanna come" Sirius stood up "we think we would be good body guards" James stood up after him

Athena giggled "no offence but I don't think we'll need body guards" she closed her bag "and besides we know how to work the muggle world you two don't" she pointed at the boys "sorry but you two aren't coming"

James sulked "please we just wanna help, we don't wanna be stuck here while you two are out there saving lives"

"We're not saving lives" Remus corrected him "we're getting information... and you two will scare the poor girl away so shoo" he tried to get the boys out

Sirius halted "I'm standing my ground... Athena I love you and I don't want you hurt we're coming"

"No your not" Athena said blatantly

"Yes we are" James insisted

"No"

"Yes!"

"No"

"We are coming"

"No you're not".

Athena and Remus walked down the hallway with James and Sirius behind them looking rather smug. Remus and Athena were in defeat.
