She was too afraid to say no.

She couldn't completely cope with the loss of her boyfriend...well....ex boyfriend per say. Hastia's mother, Luna Zabini, kept checking on on Athena for the next three days. She didn't want to see her family when she was in this state, so she accepted Hastia's offer at staying in the built—in guest room at The Zabini Manaion, and kept to herself. Her thoughts entrapped her—but they kept being cut in when the fair—haired wonky woman would enter the room with a tea set.

Her eyes were the clearest blue, and Athena couldn't help but let it remind her of Rose. Everything seemed to remind her of either her or Scorpius. It was extremely toxic and draining, to say the least.

Hastia's mother, Luna, was originally named Luna Lovegood. She remembered this piece of information—because Athena had been over for dinner many times. And the couple were absolutely different.

Blaise Zabini was a tall, bulky man that towered over most of the wizard population. Tall, dark and handsome were the three perfect words to describe his overall appearance. His jaw was sharp and defined, eyes black and mysterious—in which he handed those genes down to his daughter, Hastia. She looked exactly like her father—and seemed to share his strong-willed personality as well. His words were always firm and sure when he spoke, but towards his wife—his tone softened. She was the only person that broke his mask for a short while.

Luna Lovegood—now Luna Zabini. She's...interesting. Blonde, luminous curls ran down her shoulders as she wore colorful bright dresses—that matched her pale skin beautifully. Her features were unique and alluring, and it appeared she was made for her husband. Two peas in completely different pods, but together, it was a sight for sore eyes. They complimented each other perfectly. Her face was round and curved, features soft and sweet, just like her voice. She was an angel that dawned upon earth.

Yeah. She was nothing like Hastia.

But anywhow—on the fourth night of being alone, there was another knock at her door. Turning her body towards it on the bed, she rolled over, and blinked quickly as she struggled to sit up. With a mere squeak that her voice conjured, she forced out a come in with a dreadful look on her face.

In popped in Ms. Zabini, usual grin plastered onto her face, her outfit almost burning Athena's pupils. She was wearing an extremely bright orange dress that somehow awakened Athena a bit

more, making her eyes squint, as the petite woman crept inside the room. Hands still on the knob, her grin grew at the brunette. "Hello, sunshine. How ya' doing tonight? Still depressed about the boy who cheated on you?"

Another thing about Ms. Zabini.

She was innocently clueless.

Athena's features faltered. She mustered up an extremely forced smile. "I'm feeling better," she lied, not wanting to bother her. She was going to try to not bother people from now on with her feelings. After—all, that's why Scorpius cheated. Because she cared too much about herself. "Thank you for letting me stay here, Mrs. Zabini. Your kindness means a lot to me."
