Amortentia - Theodore Nott x Athena Primrose

Chapter 4

Athena was sitting in the great hall studying, after the incident with Snape it seems like he'll do anything to get her failing, asking her Difficult questions and judging everything she does.

The hall wasn't as full as usually, suddenly someone approached her, "Sitting alone?" Lilith asked, spotting Athena in the Great Hall at the Ravenclaw table, "Yeah, I'm knee-deep in Potions ingredients. What about you?" Athena responded.

Lilith stood beside her leaning onto the table. "Nothing much. My Muggle Studies professor fell down the stairs, so no class for me!" she declared with a smirk. "Lucky you, huh? Meanwhile, I'm drowning in potion class, the thing is im not even bad at it, Snape just hates me"Athena chuckled dryly.

"Sounds like a personal problem," Lilith reached for a green apple, taking a bite. She had curly, long brown hair, dark brown eyes, and dark skin with a beauty mark above her lip.

"Do you fancy joining my friends for a trip to Hogsmeade this Saturday?" Lilith asked between munches on her apple. Athena raised an eyebrow. "Why the sudden interest?" "Don't push it, Primrose," said Lilith while leaving her apple behind on the table. Athena called after her, "Fine, we'll meet at the forecourt on Saturday!"

Athena didn't have many friends yet, she would actually spend time with her cousin, who's in the 4th year. But she is in the hospital wing and is not allowed to have visitors because she has a highly contagious flu. So she had to look for other people in the meantime.

(Next day)

It was Wednesday morning, and we were all having breakfast together. Suddenly, the owls flew into the Great Hall, delivering letters to the students. I received a letter from my family today.

It said:

'Dear Athena Primrose,

We hope you're enjoying your time at Hogwarts, the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Cora just published her first book, and it's a best-seller. Mother and Father are doing well too.

Regards, your family.'

„pretty boring," Athena muttered to herself as she got up and walked down the table. She sat next to Iris and asked, „Did you get a letter from Mom and Dad too?" Iris replied, „Of course! What did yours say?" They compared our letters and realized they were exactly the same.

Athena complained, „It's literally the same letter. They don't really care about us. They're probably still mad that Gran let us go to Hogwarts." Iris shrugged and said, „Well, what are we going to do about it?" She put the letter in her backpack and added, „Oh, and don't make any trouble with Snape. He's taking his anger out on me, and I have Potions class later." „why on earth would he let his anger out on you if I'm the problem?"

„Just don't make any trouble at all, or Mother is gonna take you back home" she said and rolled her eyes, „damn Iris don't sass me aren't you like 11 or something!?" Athena inquired shocked,

„I'm gonna be honest with you Athena, you're the only one in our family that kinda doesn't fit Mums imagination, if you don't get on the right path then you'll get into deep trouble" with that sentence Iris stood up, put her backpack on left without another word.

(Later in Divination class)

„Now dear students, turn your cups around and look inside it!" Prof. Trewlawney was teacher in Divination, she was an old and anxious woman with fizzy hair and big round glasses, some may say she's gone crazy.

„Divination is literally the worst class, right Theo?" Mattheo asks, „Theodoree? earth on Theodore are you alive?" he snapped his fingers, Thedore flinched „uh what sorry I was thinking about something" „thinking about what? What topic are we discussing now?" asked Mattheo suspiciously. Theodore said „crystal balls" as if just shot from a gun, Mattheo grinned „WRONG!"

„I'm telling you, half-bloods are crazy," Lilith whispered, „what does your cup say?" as she looked bored at her own. „Well, my cup is just brown and soggy," Athena replied giggling, „show me your cup," Lilith said, „I think it's a sun, great luck, but at the same time a cross, I think, trials and suffering." „how can a sun and a cross look remotely the same?" said Athena doubtfully, „I dunno I'm bad in tessomacy-"

*Sound of a teacup breaking* „Man Thedore why'd you drop always something!?" Mattheo complained. „Mr. Nott and Mr.Riddle what happened?" Trewlewney asked anxiously, „nothing prof Trewlawney my cup just slipped out my hand, i apologize my hand must be sweaty" replied Theodore, „fine but, but pick up the shards and show me then! maybe they'll tell you your future~"

Lilith and Athena started giggled at him „yeah right Theodore maybe they'll tell you your future!", Theodore just glanced at them annoyingly.

(After class)

„Here are the shards Prof. Trewlewney" Theodore held the shards in his hands showing it to the Professor, „My dear don't hold it in your hands! You're gonna get a cut" she took the shards piece by piece and put them down on her table, „hmmm mhm mhm" Professor Trewlewney examined the shards, „I see wealth and power!"

„My conclusion You're gonna get wealthy and have a lot of power! But we could do further examination with Tarot cards!" she stared at Theodore with slanted smile, „Uh no thank you Prof, Trewlawney im fine with that conclusion"

Theodore walked awkwardly away, Mattheo stood in front of the door, eagerly waiting for his friend to answer his question, "What did she say?" "Wealth and Power," Theodore replied curtly.

The two boys walked down the spiral stairs in silence, "If you ever get healthy," Mattheo teasingly asked, "will you be my sugar daddy?" Theodore just rolled his eyes and said, "Shut up, Mattheo you twat!"
