"You're just a stranger, I know everything about"
- Olivia Rodrigo.
IT'S BEEN 15 YEARS SINCE ATHENA BLACK was murdered by death eaters. Or at least that's what the Wizarding world thinks.
In fact she had no idea that wizards and magic even exist...

(TW: mentions of drugs)
ATHENA HATED PARTIES FROM A YOUNG AGE. She would much rather stay inside and play a game of Wizards chess with her father or listen to Regulus talk about another book he had finished reading. She'd maybe enjoy them more if she wasn't forced to go to pureblood gatherings, which is another excuse to show off which family is ranking up in galleons or where another member of the sacred 28 had been betrothed.
However parties in Hogwarts are much more different then pureblood ones and slightly more enjoyable, firstly there are all sorts of drinks which aren't champagne, different music was always playing rather then someone sat at a piano and the never ending supply of drugs.
Drugs was at every single house party. There was no avoiding them, whether it be some sort of potion or muggle drugs that happened to get snuggled in, you really couldn't escape it.
Last year when Athena went, Sirius had greened out from smoking too much muggle weed. Athena had to be the one to help him and give him the correct potions to return him back to his normal state. She knew from then on that she should always carry extra vials of potions in case it were to happen to anyone.
Athena herself never touched drugs, in fact she hated them, she hated how harmful they were to the human body, she hated how it was only a temporary solution to a problem, causing more harm then good.
"Thea can I borrow your blush please?" Emilia asked causing Athena to zone herself back in
"Yeah of course, here!" Athena passed her the blush as she finished putting on her lipgloss.
"Can I do your hair now, I want us to match" she smiled
"Of course but please go easy on the slicking potion" Athena half joked
"Oh Merlin, our hair last time was literally concrete" she laughed remembering last years party.
"So bad that we had to go to the hospital wing to get it all out" both of them burst into laughter.
"Stop making me laugh or I might add too much again" she sectioned the top half of Athenas hair and tied it up so her hair was half up and half down.
"Okay now a bow or a ribbon?" Emilia asked as she had one in each hand
"Mmm definitely the ribbon!" It was a dark satin green and they both tied them into their hair.
After finishing their hair they both started to get dressed. Athena wore a black silk dress which fell just above her knee, making sure it wasn't too short as it was still October and cold.
Emilia decided on a dress she had brought back from Italy. It was a dark green satin dress which sparked when the light caught it. It was beautiful.
They both had finished and made their way down to the common room where Regulus, Barty and Evan where sat waiting.
