Who Am I? (Dramione)

Chapter 8- Now You Know

Chapter 8- Now You Know

Athena's POV

I couldn't believe it as I sat there listening, I knew my new friends were watching me like a hawk with what I was guessing were faces full of concern and surprise. I could feel hot tears rolling down my face and before I knew it I was moving, in my attempt to stand without falling apart I knocked over a broom stick that hit the floor with a bang. I looked down the stair's to a room that was now full of shocked faces. My mother face was look of panic, Professor Malfoy who I knew now to be 100% my dad, at Lily and James's mum Ginny who was looking at me with concern, next to her was who could only be her husband Harry Potter who was looking at me then back at my parents and lastly Rose's dad Ron who was giving me a strange look and looking at my father with a sort of distaste.

"Athena, ATHENA WAIT!" I heard my mum call after me but I had already spun on my heels, feeling my hair fan out around me. I moved past my friends at a quick pace, pushing the door open and ran up the hall. My heavy foot steps echoed through the hall and I could hear my mothers steps not all that far behind me still calling my name. I ran past the great hall and I caught sight of two boys I knew so well.

"Thia!" I heard Scorpius call as I ran past him and Ri and I knew in that moment they would follow to. I burst through the doors and ran out onto the grounds and didn't stop till I reached the edge of the black lake.

"Thia what's going on? What's wrong" Scorpius said when he reached my side before moving to stand in front of me. He placed both his hands on my shoulders and my eyes met his grey ones with their flecks of brown that were full of concern and brotherly duty. I could see my other brother just over his shoulder, his usually smirk no where to be seen, instead it was the same as Scorpius's.

"He's here.." I said letting my head fall so I didn't have to look into Scorps eyes as my tears started to fall again.

"Who's here Thia?" Ri said moving so he was standing at my side to.

"Athena.." I turned away from my brother's to see my mum only metres away from us. I could see the tears in her eyes to through my blurred vision. "Athena I'm sorry sorry sweetie.. You weren't meant to find out that way." She said in a pleading voice.

"Find out what? What is going on?" Scorpius said in what was unmistakably a very frustrated voice.

"Hermione." We all turned to the voice that had called out our mothers name and there he was walking towards us. He looked nervous and a bit unsure. Mum looked at us then him and then us again before sighing.

"Draco I don't know if this is the time." She said sounding completely drained and I started to feel bad for running off like that from her.

"Mum what is he doing here? What is going on?" Ri said impatiently.

"Why are you and Thia both crying?" Score said watching Professor Malfoy walk closer towards our mother and stopping when he was next to her.

"He's here. Our dad's here." I said letting the words roll out of my mouth without thinking.

"What do you mean he's here? You know who he is?" Scorpius said and I noticed the look of surprise on both my brothers faces. Before turning to look at our dad, who looked like he was still processing it all and a little uncomfortable.

"Athena honey I'm sorry you found out like that and that I kept it from you." My mum said walking towards me and pulling me into a hug. My brothers stood next to us like two guards.

"So who is he then?" Orion said looking at mum and I. We pulled out of our hug and I let my eyes wonder back over to him again and tried giving him a small smile, hoping to put him a bit at ease.

"Boys please don't get upset but Professor Malfoy is here because well he's your father?" She said looking at them expectantly. Obviously waiting for one of them to explode, and if one of them was going to it would probably be Scorpius he was so much more serious then Orion about everything.

"Our father is Draco Malfoy? Huh so James was right then.." He said looking at our dad and then back at my brother and I again.

"Um what do you mean James was right? Do you mean James Potter?" Draco said walking a little closer to us and looking at Scorpius very intently and I could only imagine what was going on inside his head.

"Yeah he made a joke about who our dad could be when we were talking in the common room the smorning. He said we looked like you, especially Athena." Scorpius said and I felt everyone look at me very internally and the most intense stare was coming from my new found father, as if he was analysing  every inch of my face. Taking in all the similarities. 

"Now that you mention it, they do look a tone alike." Orion said grinning, of course he was grinning nothing fazed him ever. 

"I'm sorry boys I should of told you a long time ago, not kept this from you. I was just trying to keep you safe and I was so scared when I was pregnant with you and I know that doesn't excuse anything but I'm sorry." My mum said again looking so broken and I pulled her into a hug again without even thinking. All of a sudden I felt like I was being squeezed to death only to realise my brothers had joined in on the hug.

"It's okay mum we understand, we wished we had known but we understand." Orion said sounding a tad serious for once.

"So what now?" I asked looking at my family.

"I think maybe we should go up to my dorm room and talk, there is a lot we need to discuss." My mum said looking at me with a slight smile. We all nodded and I linked arms with my brothers and started to walk up towards the castle, I knew my parents were trailing behind us and probably watching us very closely as Scorpius and I started to laugh at something Orion had said. Ever the joker.
