Chapter 1: They call it coming home

Athena's POV

I could feel the stares as we walked down the middle of the great hall, could hear the whispers that were flying through the air. Everyone curious about the new students who had transferred from the other side of the world. And to be honest I couldn't blame them. I tried to pull my long curly blond hair forward to create even more of a barrier between me and all the students. My brothers were being helpful in that area as well. Both several inches taller then me, they looked like young body guards on either side of me.

As we got to the front the last of the first years to be sorted sat down at their house table. McGonagall gave us a comforting smile, she knew who we were at least.

"Now everyone quiet down, we have three new transfer students from Australia. They will be starting their 5th year here and I hope you make them all welcome." She said it in a way that seemed like if someone didn't she wouldn't be happy. "Now for the sorting. Scorpius Hunter Granger please come forward and sit on the stool and I will place the sorting hat on your head." At the mention of our last name I heard gasps and whispers much louder then before start to whirl around the room again and I felt myself move closer to the remaining brother that was at my side. After a few minutes the hat yelled out in a loud voice "GRYFFINDOR!" I smiled at my brother, who smirked back at me before he went and sat down at what I presumed to be the Gryffindor house table, our mothers old table.

"Congratulations. Now Orion Alexander Granger could you please come." I looked at my brother panic going through me at the thought of being left alone. He gave my wrist a comforting squeeze before walking up the few stairs and sitting where my brother had just been, he smirked at me as the hat was placed on his head and I couldn't help but smile back. The same as my brother, the hat took a few minutes before announcing "SLYTHERIN". I looked at Orion and then at Scorpius who both just gave me the same comforting a smile. Both seemed please with their placing.

"Now lastly Athena Lyrica Granger, please come forward." She said and gave me a comforting smile as I swallowed the panic that had begun to rise in my throat. I walked up the stairs and sat down on the stool and a second later felt her place the hat on my head.

"Hm curious.. The only daughter of our dear war hero Hermione Granger, smartest witch of her age, your as smart as she was and could very easily be Ravenclaw but no that's not the right place. You have the cunning brains of a Slytherin you could definitely be placed their, I can feel it inside you as if in your blood. But no your loyal, brave, headstrong and stubborn you have all the reasons why I placed your mother in her house so I think it will have to be... GRYFFINDOR!" It yelled and I let out a sigh of relief before standing up and walking down to where Scorpius sat. He grinned at me and pulled me into a side hug.

"Well done and congratulations to our new students, all of them on your new houses." She paused for a second when two men walked in from a side door behind the teachers table and moved to take their chairs. "I would also like to announce we have some new teachers this year. I would like to welcome Professor Neville Longbottom who will be our new herbolgy teacher and Professor Draco  Malfoy who will be our new potions master. We will also have a new charms teacher but she wasn't able to join us tonight." Just as she said it though once again another door opened on the other side of the table and in walked our mother.

Her hair hung in long brown waves down her back, her make up was simple and she wore a black pencil skirt, small black heels and a blue blouse that made her hair and eyes seem brighter. She turned and looked towards the students searching for us and smiling when her eyes landed on Scorpius and I before they started to search for Orion. Once her eyes found him, a smirk spread across her face. Before she walked up to McGonagall and apologised for being late and about the change of plans. The new potions teacher Professor Malfoy hadn't taken her eyes off her not once, no one had really. It was as if they were seeing a ghost.

McGonagall smiled before continuing. "Oh no wait here she is, this is Professor Hermione Granger, she will be the new charms teacher and has spent the last few years in Australia teaching charms at the school her children Athena, Scorpius and Orion attended. So without further ado all dig in!" She said before turning around and taking a seat at the teachers table. We watched our mother take hers and then motion for us to come over to her.

As we walked up I could feel eyes on us, everyone was watching but non like most of the teachers were and that's when I realised why the teachers all or if not most looked like they were her age and were probably people she had attended school with and hadn't seen in the last 16 years.

"I'm so proud of you all! Well done!!" As she said this she looked like she was tearing up and about to cry.

"Thanks mum. I got into Slytherin don't understand how but I did." Orion said he looked pretty please with himself and not at all upset about being on his own. Where as I was glad I was at least with one of my brothers.

"Hermione.." We all turned to look at a lady with long auburn hair it was pulled back into a braid and she had on jeans and a quidditch t-shirt.

"Kids how about you go sit down and eat, I will talk to you later or tomorrow. Classes don't start till Monday." We said goodbye before walking off to our respective tables.

"So your mum is Hermione Granger?" I turned to look where the voice had come from and came face to face with a boy with messy black hair and bright green eyes. Mum had told us a few things before we had moved so we could guess at who his father was at least.

"Um yes she is.." I said not very sure of what else to say. He smiled at me before continuing.

"That's my mum, Ginny Potter she's talking to. She's the quidditch coach around here." He said looking up at his mother before looking back at me. "I'm James Sirius Potter and your Athena and your Scorpius?" We smiled and nodded. As he reached out and shook hands with Scorpius who grinned back. "I have a brother in Slytherin to, Albus Severus Potter. He's one of the guys talking to your brother at the moment. And this is my little sister Lily Luna Potter." He said pointing to a girl with the same auburn hair as their mother, who grinned and waved from a few seats up from us.

I could feel someone watching me and turned my head to see Professor Malfoy looking at us as we interacted with the Potters. He had a look of confusion and when his gaze turned to our mother he looked like he was in physical pain.

"Alright James stop flirting and move over!" A girl with straight silvery blonde hair said as she pushed James further up the bench so she was right in front of us. "Heya I'm Dominique Weasley, but you can call me Dom. James and I are cousins, so I'm sorry in advance for the pain he will surly be to you." She smiled at me in a way that made me feel at ease and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Haha I'm Athena but you can call me Thia. I should give you the same warning about both my brothers!" I said grinning. I watched as two more girls walked over to us, both smiling warmly.

"Hey I'm Violet Ophelia Zabini. Don't worry I can totally relate to ridiculous names and annoying siblings!" She said laughing as she sat down next to me. She had long ink black hair and bright blue eyes. A girl with orange hair sat down next to Dom and held out her hand to me which I took smiling.

"Hi I'm Rose Weasley, I know what your thinking there is a lot of us." She said and then started laughing lightly. I later found out we were all in the same house and would be sharing a dorm room.

Scorpius ended up sharing a dorm room with James Potter and a few other boys from their year while Orion was sharing one with Violets twin brother Preston along with a few other boys.

We talked late into the night before deciding to go to bed, after agreeing to continue in the smorning. I layed down on my pillow thinking maybe this wouldn't be so bad. I think I could really love it here.
