INT. HALL - DAY

Athena exits the courtroom to find Mr Weasley standing outside. His face beaming.

Mr Weasley: Athena, you've been let off! That's wonderful!

The door opens again and the whole of Wizengamot exits.

Mr Weasley: [Shocked] You were trialed by the full court?

"I can't tell if that's bad or not" Theo whispered to Blaise, who just shrugs.

Athena: I think so, yeah
Mr Weasley: [Concerned] Well, no matter. Let's go home

Just then, Percy exits and brushes by Mr Weasley without even looking at him.

Arthur, Molly, Fabian and Gideon all look shocked at Percys' attitude whilst the future generation of Weasleys all glare at the screen, having not of forgiven Percy about how he treated them.

Athena: Er...what the fuc- fudge was that? Is Percy mad at you?

"Good save" James nodded, earning a smack by Mia.

Mr Weasley: Ah...yes...I'm afraid we had a bit of a row. He, well, he sided with Fudge and the rest of us sided with Dumbledore, so Percy left

Molly shook her head whilst Arthur sighed.

They begin walking away from the courtroom, when they come upon Fudge talking quietly with Lucius Malfoy, standing at the mouth of the corridor Athena had recognised earlier.

"Suspicious" Frank narrowed his eyes. Narcissa looked at Lucius with an eyebrow raised, whilst he looked sheepishly at her.

Lucius: Well, well, if it isn't patronus Potter [pause] The Minister here was just telling me how very lucky an escape you just had. Quite astonishing...snakelike, in fact
Athena: Oh piss off ferret senior, what are you doing here?

"Ferret senior!" Wheezes Remus, making many others laugh. "I'm not even going to scold you for your language" Lily laughed.

Lucius: Come now, Potter, I really don't think that private matters between the Minister and myself are any concern of yours

He moves closer to Athena, leaning down.

Lucius: [Lowly] All you need to concern yourself about are...your dreams, Potter
Athena: [Waving her hand near her nose, pulling a disgusted face] Jeez, you ever heard of mouthwash? Toothpaste? You fucking creep [Mr Weasley snorts behind her, covering it with a cough]

A roar of laughter is heard again before it dies down, "how does future me know about your dreams?" Lucius asks nervously. Athena looks at him, "guess you'll have to pay extra attention to the movie to find out". Draco snorts.

Completely ignoring what she said, Lucius smiles malevolently at Athena. Lucius steps back and turns to the Minister.

Lucius: Shall we continue this in your office, Fudge?
Fudge: Certainly
Athena: [Calling after them] Make sure Fudge has an extra toothbrush and mouthwash in his office!

"Damn girl, what is this? Sassy Athena year?" Dorcas laughs, the future generation all nod at her.

Athena watches them leave.

Athena: If he wanted to talk to the Minster, why down here? It's like they wanted to be caught

The aurors, all nod at Athena's statement.
