The Girl Who Had No Choice

Chapter 2

The year passed quickly and before I knew it, it was time for me to board the Hogwarts Express and go to Hogwarts. I kissed my parent's goodbye and followed Ze onto the train.

"I'm going to sit with my friends, so if you just find some Slytherins that look your age, I'm sure they will treat you well." Ze said clapping me on the back and walking off.

I went from compartment to compartment finding other houses. I finally found a group of Slytherin girls laughing together in their little dresses. I was dressed perfectly in my favourite black dress. I slid the door open and smiled at the girls.

"Hi, mind if I join?" I asked politely.

They stared at me, discussed, they thought I was not a Slytherin.

"Don't worry, I'm a Slytherin."

They smiled nicely and welcomed me in, I sat then introduced myself.

"Athena Grindelwald, part of one of the purest blood lines there is." I said smiling kindly.

All the girls grabbed their stuff and rushed out, not looking back at me. The pain of being a Grindelwald is people fearing me, because of my grandfather is the darkest, great wizard there is.

I still sat in the compartment alone when a group of boys came in.

"I wouldn't be here if I was you." I said.

"Why is that Miss Grindelwald?" Draco Malfoy asked.

I could tell it was Draco Malfoy from his platinum blonde hair and grey, stormy eyes. He smirked at me and sat down across from me with the other four boys coming in to sit down.

"Mr Malfoy, you are the most unlikely person I would expect to see." I say laughing.

The Grindelwald's don't really talk or socialize with other pure blood family's, but the Malfoys are one of the only purebloods the Grindelwald's know. That meant I have met Draco, sadly. It was about 5 years after we first met when my father had told me that Draco was thinking of wanting an understanding. I said no, and the Malfoy's after that seemed to be disappointed with Draco for not attracting my attention enough. The Malfoys probably wanted to be part of powerful family.

Draco smirked at me, after we first met, we had been friends.

"Meet everyone else." Draco said pointing to the other boys.

"This is Theo." A handsome, tall boy with light brown, wavy hair. Theo had he nose borrowed in a book but looked up to smile at me.

"This is Blaise." He was also handsome, tall with black hair and dark skin. He gave me a dashing smile and went back to looking at a fashion book.

"This is Vince and Greg." Two huge boys with brown hair. They looked like they were ready to beat up anyone who came to close. But they still nodded their heads in respect.

"Athena, Athena Grindelwald." I said smirking at the boys. They froze in surprise, but instead of running away they smiled in amazement.

At that moment, a pretty girl burst in. Daphne Greengrass, my family didn't really care about the Greengrass's, but I hung out with Daphne, and she was my only friend (other than Draco). She had brown-silver hair with a perfect body, she wrapped me in a tight hug, and forced Blaise to move over so she could sit next to me. We all talked and laughed through the train ride. 

Suddenly, the train stopped and went dark. It had been raining outside for a while now, but now the cold rain froze the windows and water. Wait... that was not just the rain making us shiver, it was dementors.

I stood up and pulled out my wand, but Draco grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back into my seat. I shook off his hand and waited.

As I suspected a dementor come to our door. We all shook like crazy, but just as turned to Draco and tried to suck out his happiness, I twisted to the dementor and shouted as loud as I could.

"Expecto Patronum!"

A golden phoenix came out of my wand and pushed the dementors away and out of the train. I stepped outside the compartment and pointed my phoenix to other dementors, along the hall. I walked through all the halls, my golden (not blue, the perks of being a Grindelwald) phoenix shoved away the dementors, I got to one hall and saw a blue wolf bounding around getting rid of the dementors.

Once the dementors were gone I saw the owner of the wolf. He looked like he just woke up, but he still gave me smile and a nod of head. He must be one of the teachers. I smiled back and was going to back to my seat, but I decided to wonder past the compartment the teacher. As I walked in and smiled at the teacher, but I look over to the other side of the compartment and spot Harry Potter, the boy who lived, sitting there while rubbing his head. A brown, haired girl sat next to him and a red beside her, a Weasley, I could easily tell. I shook the girl's hand as she introduced herself as Hermione Granger, and the Weasley was Ron. I sat next to the teacher and introduced myself, he looked shocked and said he was Professor Lupin.
