*I do apologize for the wait. My mother recently had her child, and I couldn't miss it! I do hope you all understand. Anyways, I M P E T U O U S

My fingers connected with the cold water, to the sink of the washroom. I cupped my hands, creating a makeshift curve, to capture water. Bubbles of air collected at the cusp of the faucet. I leaned down, looking at myself in the mirror, before giving my attention to the desirable cold water. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath, as I gently covered my face in cold abyss.

I let out a shuddered whimper, taking another deep breath.

It felt so good.

But all good things come to an end.

The high of being alone, came to a halt as my sister Lilly open the door with alomorah.

I let out a groan, "What do you want?"

Me and my sister, out of all of the siblings, were most distant. Some may say the Potter family was one of the most lovely. In realitly we were showered with unnecessary gifts. Stacks upon stacks, and my mother and father took all for granted. In the beginning, they were the best parents most could offer.

But after Albus, they turned a cold shoulder, and distanced themselves away. From that point on, as a 15 year old, I aided to my siblings every need.

I came back into realitly, after a quick snap of two pale finger infront of me.

"Father and mother had sent me a letter a few days ago. They're telling you to make an appearance with Scorpius at the Ministry gala. Apparently Scorpius is getting promoted, and you need to be there."

I nodded my head, a bored expression gathered on my face.

The ministry Gala.

One of the most important parts of the new generations. A ceremony to honor rising children positions of higher authority. In this case I knew it was something otherwise in Scorpius. He had started off as a common desk worker, taking calls, ETC. Now, he worked for his father. The only reason being, he couldn't pay attention in other areas.

In this case. I didn't know what he would get.

Lilly walked out shortly after, giving me time to take a deep breath. I gathered myself, walking out the washroom.

The Train came to a creaking hault. Parents positioned themselves around, awaiting there children. I held my hand in scorpius' looking for my parents. I wondered why they hadn't just told me themselves.

My mothers striking red hair, pulled me over to them. Scorpius held tight, as I walked over to the married pair.

"Hello father."

"Athena? Haven't you heard?"
He asked, a questioned look taking over his battle worn face.

"About the ministry gala, then yes."
I said giving scorpius' hand another squeeze.

My mother quickly talked,"No dear, you will be staying with the family of your betroved, the Malfoy's."

Betroved? As in 'to be married' .
What the fuck were they talking about?
We hadn't said anything about marriage.
Ignored all comments, personal opinions. Everything. So what were they talking about?

"Couldn't you have sent a letter?"
I said dejected.

"We have hardly had the time. Now, you mustn't keep mr. Malfoy from his work, he's waiting for the two of you."

"Yes mother."
