Sirius Black's daughter - Athena Black (Book 1)

Two

Athena was looking for an empty compartment on the train. She found one and sat near to the window. She was wondering how she will cope up at hogwarts. Suddenly she heard the door slide, she turned to see who it was. She saw a boy with jet black hair and green eyes.

"Do you mind me sitting here?" He asked.

Athena shook her head because she didn't want to start a conversation. The boy came and sat opposite to her and stayed quiet. After a minute or two another boy with red hair and freckles slide the door open.

"Do you mind? everywhere else is full." He said.

The black haired boy glanced at Athena, she simply shook her head once again. The boy smile and said no. The red head joined us inside the compartment.

"I'm Ron, Ron Weasly." The red head introduced himself.

"Harry, Harry Potter." The black haired boy introduced himself.

Ron's mouth fell and Athena sharply turned neck at the name HARRY POTTER.

"Do you... Do you have... The you know what.... The scar." Ron asked timidly.

"Oh, yes." Harry replied and moved his hair to reveal the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.

"O merlin, its true then. How you survived you-know who." Ron said.

"Do you mean voldemort?" Harry asked.

Weasly flinched at voldemort's name but Athena just stared at Harry.

"Please don't say his name." Ron said.

Harry just stared at Ron. Ron finally turned to Athena and asked her name.

"Athena-" then she realized that there was no point in lying and said "-Black, Athena Black."

Ron starred at Athena in shock. Harry starred at Ron. It was clear that Harry didn't have a clue about the wizarding world.

"You... you are Sirius Black's Daughter" Ron managed to say.

Athena just looked at Ron with pure hatred in her face. The look on her face was enough to make Ron shudder and Harry gulp.

"I prefer Athena. And I am NOT like my father and I don't like to talk about that scum. I have a git for a father." Athena growled.

Ron and Harry could sense hatred in each word she told. Harry still didn't understand why Ron looked scared and why Athena hated her father. Harry and Ron decided to change the topic as they didn't want to get on the bad side of Athena.

The food trolley passed by and the boys bought a lot of candies. They offered Athena and she gladly accepted them. She even managed to have a conversation with them. The boys realised that she was really fun to be around and was a quick thinker and a really good problem solver. Athena also enjoyed talking to them. She thought that Ron had a great sense of humor and Harry didn't have a clue about the wizarding world.

The door slide open again, but this time it was a girl with a bushy raven hair and slightly big front teeth.

"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy called Neville lost his."

The boys and Athena shook their head. She came and sat down beside Athena. She introduced herself as Hermione Granger and that she was a muggle born.

"O my gosh! You are Harry Potter.-" She then turned to Ron "-And you are?"

"Ron, Ron Weasly" Ron replied with chocolate inside his mouth.

"Pleasure" she said clearly disgusted.

"And you?"

"Athena, Athena Black"

Hermione just walking away. Athena was a little hurt by this but she shrugged it of because she knew this will happen more often when she reaches hogwarts.

A few moments later the door slide open again, but this time it wasn't Hermione or the trolley. Instead, three boys entered. One had pale skin and sleek blonde hair, the other two were huge and muscled. Athena would bet anything that the one with the sleek blonde hair is a malfoy.

"So it's true then. Harry Potter has come to hogwarts. This is Crabbe and Goyle. I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." The one with the sleek hair said.

Ron let out a cough. But Athena was sure this was to hide his snort.

"Think my name is funny do you. I think I don't need to know your name. Red hair and hand me down robe, you must be a Weasly." Draco said looking at Ron. Athena felt a surge of anger pass through her veins.

"Are you another Weasly?" Draco asked Athena seeing her red hair.

"No. I am Athena, Athena Black."

Draco starred at Athena with a tiny smirk on his face.

"Potter, you would soon understand that some wizarding family are better than the others. If I were you, I wouldn't hang out with riff raff like this Weasly and Hagrid. I can help you there." Draco said extended his are towards Harry.

"Say that again." Athena said in pure anger.

"What? Are you going to fight?." Draco mocked.

"Not unless you leave. I am aware that you know who my father is and what he did and I will not hesitate to do that to you." Athena whispered to Draco.

Draco flinched. He then left the compartment. The rest of the ride was peaceful. Athena noticed that the sky was getting darker and mountains can be spotted. She advised the boys to change into their robes as she was already dressed. The train soon stopped and they were welcomed by a rather friendly voice.

"Firs' years. Firs' years, over here."
