I awoke in a room. Very descriptive, so let me tell you more about the room.

The room was very familiar to me; I think it's due to visiting Harry a bunch of times in it last year. I heard two voices, and they both seemed familiar- one more then the other.

"Sirius, how've you been?"

"Very well, I guess."

"That's good."

"So, will Adele-"

"Be all right? As her mother, I say that she is."

Mom? Athena! She's here, she's visiting me! And so is dad! It's true- I've always wanted to be with both of my parents at one time- even if I'm sitting in a hospital bed in the Hospital

Wing and they can't see me.

"But, I must say, Sirius, you didn't do a very good job taking care of her."

"Well, I was in Azkaban most of her life, so..."

"Did she tell you of who exactly guided her on her journey to Camp?"

"No, she didn't..."

Oh no... I'm screwed. And so is dad.

"Thalia Grace, Annabeth Chase, and Luke Castelian, as well as Grover Underwood. I guided them along the way at places..."

"Did you, now?"

"Hasn't she told you of her dangerous quests, visiting Olympus, and almost dying?"

"No, and I don't think she wants to talk about it."

"The thing right now, though, is that I've done a better job parenting her then you have."

"And how? I mean, your on Olympus all the time."

Oh no....

"I was there for her. I gave her a gift, and I gave her advice, and I led her to where she'd be safe. And you ended up in prison."

"Adele is a wandering thought! You gave me no warning, no warning at all!"

I know the story of how Athena was born... Just a wandering thought in Zeus' head. I was a wandering thought; did I just appear on dads door step? He had no warning?

"I did give you a warning. You should of known that by being with me, you'd get a baby."

"Did you ever think of how I felt? A baby was sprinted upon me! Did you stop and think that maybe I didn't want a baby?"

That's when I got out of my hospital bed.

I raced away, and tears ran down my face.

My dad didn't want me....

Ginny and I traveled down to the Black Lake for the Second Task.

Weirdly, Hermione and Ron were no where to be found. Ginny found it suspicious, and I did to. But, thanks to my mothers knowledge, I had a feeling that they were in the Black Lake- at the bottom of it.

Ludo Bagman's voice echoed through the stadium, and Fred and George (yet again) were taking bets.

"I think Harry will come in last, but he'll rank in first!" I stated to Fred and George.

"Hmmm.... Tough bet, 'Dele, let's see... How much you willing to bet?"

"Oh," I slyly said. "I'm not betting money." I smirked.

"Oh? Then what are you betting, love?" George asked, curious, as he out his arm around my shoulders.

"If I win the bet, then you have to be the one to tell my dad that we're dating." I smirked.
