Kia whistled as they apparated into Ollivander's. The shelves full of wands towered high over their heads. If she hadn't been sent to America, she would've gotten one of these years ago. An old man walked out of a room with a smile. "Ah, young Mister Selwyn. To what do I owe the pleasure of your appearance?"

As Thea pushed open the doors of the Great Hall, a collective silence filled the hall, she saw four long tables filled with students eating staring at her. Thea bowed as respectively as possible. "I apologise for my intrusion. I guess I must have forgotten to send an owl ahead."

Mcgonagall had seen many things in her life, from Dark Lords to Boys-who-lived, but never had she seen a young witch, like the girl that stood at the end of the hall, that reeked of so much power. "It is fine, young miss. May I ask for your name and why you are here?"

"My name is Althea Carter. I'm a graduate from Ilvermorny, and I wanted to visit our sister school, Hogwarts." Thea said. "I also wished to ask you some things for a little guidance."

Mcgonagall smiled. A girl who knew her manners and etiquette. "Of course, Miss Carter. Would you like to join us in our lunch first?"

Thea smiled back. "I would be honored."

Alistair merely laughed. "What, can't a guy visit an awesome old man who teaches him cool stuff?" Kia shook her head at his antics. Once an idiot, always an idiot.

Ollivander raised a fuzzy white eyebrow. "And who's the pretty lady by your side? Ah, it's your Kit, isn't it?" He turned to Kia, wiggling his eyebrows. They looked a bit like caterpillars. "Your boyfriend has told me a lot about you."

Kia face-palmed. "Why does everyone assume I'm his girlfriend at first sight? I'm only here to get a wand." Alistair muttered I wish under his breath. Thankfully, Kia didn't hear him.

"What brings you to Europe, Miss Carter?" Mcgonagall asked.

"As I said before, I would just like to see how you teach here, since our founder wanted to come here before she started Ilvermorny." Thea said, composing herself. "I am also friends with one of your recent graduates, Mr Selwyn. He told me of your wisdom, and I wished to receive some advice, Minerva. It regards, your mother's side."

"My mother is dead, she was a normal muggle that gave birth to me and left me to my father." Mcgonagall replied. "There is nothing more than that."

"Would you believe me if I said that you were my sister?" Thea asked. "Mother gave you a special name, Minerva. It's also surprising since she hated that name. The name the Romans gave her when they stripped her of her military importance."

"Are you saying that my mother could still give birth, at, what, 200 years old?" Mcgonagall said, in disbelief. "My dear girl, you must be mistaken. You could not possibly be my sister. I am much older than you."

"Your mother, Headmistress Mcgonagall, is Athena, the goddess of Wisdom. She is about 3000 years old." Thea said. "Sink in yet?"

Ollivander swept into the waiting room, a box in his hands. He smiled gently at Kia. "Let's see if this fits." It was a black walnut wand with dragon heartstring. Kia waved it around, and a bookshelf almost exploded. "Nope, not this one."

He took out a cedar wand with phoenix core next. "Try this." Kia waved it, and a spark shot out. "That's the right one. Use it with care." They thanked him, and apparated away to the Forbidden Forest. Kia was fine with the shadows, as she always used them to her advantage.

Guys, guys? Oh finally, you're here. Please come save me from this super awkward conversation with my sister Mcgonagall and help me explain our world. Mcgonagall is adamant that her mother was a normal muggle. I mean her name is Minerva and all, shouldn't she realise it by now or is she still in denial? Thea asked.

Mcgonagall looked at the silent girl. "Miss Carter, I see your point, but the Ancient Greek Gods are simply a myth. I recognise your strength in magic, my dear, and I hope that your powers hasn't gone to your head."

"Minerva, this isn't a myth." Thea lifted her hands, and she left her pent up energy spiral from it, creating a beautiful doe, and then an owl, and then a mare. "Artemis. Athena. Poseidon. My father, my mother, and the one who I became Champion of."

Alistair rolled his eyes. Probably in denial. We're coming, wait a second or two. He turned to Kia, but she sighed. "Yes, I know. Let's go before Thea explodes." They ran towards the direction of Hogwarts, Alistair taking the lead with his longer legs. Kia rolled her eyes, shadow-travelling directly to the Hogwarts door. By the time Alistair arrived huffing and puffing, she was just standing there smugly. Loser. Alistair tried to glare at her, but couldn't quite bring himself to. "Come on, sucker, let's go."

Alistair gasped in indignation. "I am not a sucker!"

Kia rolled her eyes. "I don't care. Budge it, dummy. Get us to the Great Hall- I've never been here." Alistair continued staring at her. "Like I said, budge it." She gave him a harsh shove, and he went stumbling forwards.

When they arrived at the door of the Great Hall, Alistair kicked it open with a flourish. Everybody stared at him, including the teachers. He grinned. "Miss me?"

"I think my friends have arrived. I think you would remember Mr Selwyn, since I'm sure he's taken many trips up to here. He isn't exactly the picture perfect student, is he?" Thea grinned. Mcgonagall sighed, and walked out off the office.

"Mr Selwyn. I see that you have not ceased your ambitious actions. Come in, won't you?" Mcgonagall held back a groan. Alistair Selwyn was the bane of her existence as the headmistress. He was worse than both of the Weasley Twins combined.

Woosh, that's a lot. Thea said in Mcgonagall's mind, making her flinch. Oh, come on Minerva. I told you that we were a special bunch. Plus, no occlumency is getting me out.

Gavin stood up from his seat at the teacher's table. Flitwick stared at him. "Are you alright?" Flitwick asked cautiously. "Do you know them?"

Gavin shook his head. "I believe I do."
