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

Eight

The next day, Athena woke up. The memories of yesterday flooded into her mind. About how she helped Snape escape the three headed dog. The thought of detention with Snape strolled into her mind, she groaned.

Athena got dressed and went down to breakfast. Athena sat next to Fred and George. She saw them sitting next to a another Griffindor who was about the same age as the twins.

"Hey boys." She said sitting next to George. (She assumed)

"Hey Athena." They replied.
"This is Lee, Lee Jordan. He is out dorm mate and friend." Said Fred.

"Hello Lee." Athena greeted politely.

"Hi." Lee greeted. "Fred and George talk about you all the time. I see that you are really good at sneaking away. How do you feel going around with these two?" Lee asked nudging one of the twins.

"I will say... It is pretty cool. You see. Either way, I got to know the school really well." Athena replied smirking.

"Athena, actually we wanted to give you something." George said.

Fred took out a piece of parchment. It looked really old. He handed this to Athena.

"Is this supposed to be some kinda joke?" She asked.

"No, this is a map, a map of Hogwarts." Fred said.

"Watch." Said George as he took out his wand. He pointed it at the parchment and said "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

As he finished, letters starred to form on the parchment. Athena looked at it surprised.

"Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail, Periwinkle and Prongs Present to you the Marauders Map." Athena read out. "What else does this do?" Athena asked curiously.

"This is the map shows all secret passages-"

"-and show where people are-"

"-Anywhere-"

"-What they are doing-"

"-and everywhere in the grounds of Hogwarts." The twins finished.

"Why are you showing this to me?" Athena asked.

"You are our friend and a prankster. You must know this map if you are going to Hogsmead with us." George said smirking.

"Your joking." Athena said not able to hide her excitement.

"No." Said the twins in unison.

Athena jumped and hugged the twins. "You guys are the best." She broke the hug. "So you mean, I can come to Hogsmead with you?" She asked. The twins nodded their heads. Athena grinned like a maniac.

She wasn't able to keep her mind on the lesson. Her thought somehow gets diverted to Hogsmead. Of course, she can't buy anything, but the thought of going to Hogsmead was just enough for her. The twins promised that they will keep her hidden.

After the last lesson, Transfiguration, Athena and the trio walked out of the classroom. They were heading to the common room when Snape came in their way. Athena had totally forgot about detention. She tried to sneak away but Snape had noticed her.

"Where do you think you are going Black?" Snape asked.

"Argh, fine." Athena groaned.

"Detention, follow me." Snape said.

"I'll be back by dinner. If I can." Athena said to the trio and went behind Snape.

"How is your knee?" Athena asked.

"It is fine." Snape said. He was limping.

Athena could, anyway, see the blood stain. It seemed as if he hadn't nursed his knee. Athena shook her head slowly cause she knew he wouldn't listen.
