No One Can Know

Chapter 4: Already?

Recap

She ran towards the Slytherin common room, Draco falling behind. She went down another flight of stairs and into the dungeons then made a left.

As she was still running, she slowed her pace down a bit a craned her head round to see if her brother was in sight.

"Come on, Draco!" She shouted before she abruptly came to a stop, falling backwards onto the floor.

She looked up, her face dropping for the second time today.

"Professor Snape! I'm sorry I-"

"Save it, Malfoy. Detention tomorrow at 7:30 pm. Don't. Be. Late." He growled.

He continued off down the corridor, leaving Athena sitting on the cold stone floor in dismay.

"Evening, Professor." Draco's voice sounded from around the corner.

A few more steps echoed off of the walls and then...

"Athena? Why are you on the floor?" He asked.

"I ran into Snape." She whispered.

"Oh, that's why he didn't seem too happy."

"Draco, when is he ever happy?"

"True. True." He nodded.

Athena stood up, dusting herself off.

"Shall we continue on?" She questioned before walking off towards the common room.

"Of course." He agreed running a bit to catch up with his sisters' fast pace.

"So are you going to do it then?" Draco turned to face Athena as she carried on facing forward.

"Do what?" She asked.

"The tournament?" He questioned.

"Draco..." she sighed, taking a few more steps before stopping outside of the entrance to their common room.

"I knew I was going to enter from the moment father mentioned it." She explained, knocking the secret pattern on the hidden door.

"But I thought you told them both you were going to think about it?" Draco scratched his head.

"Yes, I did. But only so not to get father in trouble with mother." She smiled at him.

He looked puzzled.

"Dray, if I would have just told them both that I'm going to enter without even thinking about the consequences and just chasing danger like I usually do, then mother would have a heart attack and then attack father herself afterwards. You know what she's like, she's our mother. I love her but she's so overprotective." Athena sighed.

"Ahhh, I get you now." Draco smiled, following his sister into the common room.

"Also, I won," Athena smirked when she took the first step through the door.
