Athena woke up the next day on the couch. They spent the night before watching Disney movies. Athena at first wondered where she was cause she usually woke up in her dorm, but she remembered that she was in her house at Godric's Hollow.
The smell of fried eggs and bacon reached her. She jumped out of the couch and headed towards the kitchen. There stood Anna in her usual clothes and cooking at the stove.
"Morning sleepy head. Go brush your teeth." Anna said.
"Morning mamma." Athena replied still a little drowsy and headed of to the bathroom.
She brushed her teeth, took a bath a put on some comfortable muggle clothing and headed down to breakfast.
The dinning table was set and Anna was already seated. Athena sat next to her mother.
"So sweety, how is Hogwarts?" Anna asked.
"It's great mamma. The classes were amazing except for professor Snape's classroom. It's in the dungeons. And I made friends in Slytherin and I met two pranksters in my first day. Fred and George Weasly! I assume you know them. And landed myself and the twins in detention for our pranks and yea, it was going amazing. I also met Harry Potter, Ron Weasly and a muggle-born girl named Hermione Granger. We three became friends in an instant." Athena finished. She didn't tell her mother about fluffy, and her incident with Snape, or the map and sneaking into Hogsmead. She just said the good things to make her mother happy and to let her know that she was having a good time.
Anna was happy to hear that she had made friends. Athena reminded Anna of her time in Hogwarts. She got along with Slytherins really well and met pranksters in an instant.
Her Goodson, Harry Potter has also started Hogwarts. Anna was pleased to hear that she had made friends with Harry.
After breakfast, they started to clean the house. They washed the floor, dusted the frames ,souvenirs and a few objects. They did everything the muggle way cause they knew to many people in the neighborhood and who knew when they would drop by and visit.
Athena was so exhausted during lunch cause she had dusted almost every room in their house. Anna chuckled at Athena who was dragging herself to the dinning table.
"Mamma, tell me why we have to do everything in the muggle way?" Athena asked irritated.
"Athena, we just know too many people in the neighborhood, who knows when they might drop by? You saw right, already three muggles have visited us by now." Anna answered who was now whipping off the extra soap in her hand.
"Yeah, Mrs. Pudding, Mr. Johnson and Jhonny and his friends." Athena said counting in her fingers.
"Hey, what do you if we have our lunch at the Leaky Cauldron?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, Ok." Athena replied enthusiastically.
"Go get changed, there is dust all over your clothes." Anna said pointing at the frock Athena was wearing.
"Ok." With that Athena skipped up to her room and got changed into a light green sweater and jeans. She wore a coat on top cause it was freezing outside.
Once they were ready, they left the house. They went it the graveyard.
"Ready little one?" Anna asked.
"Yes." Athena replied.
With that they apparated to Leaky Cauldron. Athena inhaled the usual dusty and comfortable aroma of Leaky Cauldron.
"Why hello there Anna... How are you doing?" Asked Tom the bartender.
"I'm all good as new Tom, we are here to have lunch. I forgot to cook." Anna said.
Anna and Athena found a table for them and sat. A
waitress came and took their order. They ordered Yorkshire pudding with mashed potatoes and gravy. Athena and Anna are to their hearts content. In the end Anna drank butterbeer and Athena drank Hot chocolate. They paid for the bill and left.
Athena was really full to do any more work. So, Anna went out to buy a Christmas tree. Anna returned after two hours or so with a huge Christmas tree. Athena was hanging on the couch flipping through TV channels.
"Merlin's beard! Mamma that's a huge tree!" Athena exclaimed after seeing the tree.
"That's right, this year's Christmas has to be special as this year was your first year at Hogwarts." Anna replied.
"Or is it because Remus is coming?" Athena asked.
"That as well." Anna said, "do you mind helping to get the tree inside the house?"
"Use your wand!" Athena exclaimed.
"Athena, you know very well that we are in a muggle surrounding." Anna said sternly.
"Argh, fine." Athena replied irritated and got down and helped her mother to get the tree inside.
--------------------------------------------
The following days were great. They went muggle shops for decorations and went to Diagon Alley for Christmas gifts.
Athena was confused on what to get for each one. In the end she got a wizarding chess set for Ron, a charm necklace for Hermione, prank supplies for the twins, Quidditch through the ages book for Harry as he failed to get it back from Snape, a really classy wand stand for Draco, a classy snake ring for Pansy, a coffee mug for Blaise Zabini, a pair of socks for Crabbe and Goyle each, a perfume for her mother and a drew picture for her godfather.
She wrapped all her presents in colourful wrapping paper and she went to eat dinner.
She was really excited for tomorrow as Remus was paying a visit. It was a long time since she saw Remus.
"Are you excited sweety?" Anna asked.
"Very much." Athena replied. "Its a long time since I saw Remus."
"Yes, me too honey, but now you need to sleep. We got a long day tomorrow. And by the way, Remus will be coming through Floo powder." Anna said.
"Ok, so that's a start." Athena said.
Athena and Anna ate their dinner in peace and went to bed. Athena was excited for her presents.
