Athena is walking down the corridor wearing her Quidditch outfit, accompanied by the rest of the team: Oliver Wood, Fred, George, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Katie Bell. Athena and Fred are seen walking together, hands keep brushing against each other, they blush.
The males of Athena family all grumble and curse.
Oliver: I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program. We are going to train earlier, harder, and longer. [glancing to his left, the rest of the team follows his gaze] What...? I don't believe it. [stepping out into the courtyard, they come across the Slytherin Quidditch team, also dressed for Quidditch, as Ron and Hermione are sitting nearby; Oliver directs his attention to the team's captain, Marcus Flint] Where do you think you're going, Flint?
Marcus: Quidditch practice.
Oliver: I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today.
Marcus: Easy, Wood. I've got a note. [holds out a rolled up scroll; Wood takes it and opens it]
Ron: Uh-oh. I smell trouble. [he and Hermione get up and walk towards the two teams]
Oliver: [reading the parchment] I, Professor Severus Snape, do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new Seeker." [looks up from the parchment] You've got a new Seeker, who? [Marcus steps aside, and Draco steps out towards the Gryffindor team members]
Athena: [amazed that her nemesis is now a member of the Slytherin Quidditch team] Malfoy?
Draco: That's right. And that's not all that's new this year. [puts his broom at his side; Athena, Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team examine the brooms Draco and the rest of the Slytherin team are holding]
Ron: Those are Nimbus 2001s. How did you get those?
Quidditch players drool, James bounces in his seat, he wanted that broom so bad.
Marcus: A gift from Draco's father.
Draco: You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best.
Hermione: At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent. [Draco glares at her in annoyance as he takes a few steps and stops only at arms length in front of her]
Everyone cheers for Hermione. "Go Hermione" "teach him a lesson" "that's right you bleached ferret". "I mean she not wrong, all you Malfoys are rubbish at quidditch" Barty says.
Draco: No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood.
Many gasp, Lucius and Narcissa turn to look at Draco, disappointment written over their faces.
Hermione glares at him with a mixture of hate and hurt as Draco sneers. Athena looks confused. Instantly, Fred and George fly for Draco's throat. Oliver Wood holds them back. Athena takes ahold of Fred's hand and pulls him close, he instantly calmed down and started rubbing his thumb across the back of her hand.
James glares whilst Remus, Sirius and Monty all grumble.
Wood: Save it for the match
Ron: You'll pay for that one, Malfoy! [he takes out his wand and aims it at Draco] Eat slugs!
Unfortunately, Ron's spell backfires, blasting him off backwards and onto the ground. Athena and Hermione immediately rush to his side.
Hermione: You okay, Ron? Say something![Ron opens his mouth as if to say something, but instead he spits out a slug.]
Colin Creevey: [starts taking pictures of Ron] Wow! Can you turn him around, Athena?
Athena: No, Colin! Get out of the way. [she and Hermione help Ron to his feet] Let's take him to Hagrid. [Ron regurgitates another slug] He'll know what to do.
The three of them rush off to Hagrid's while the Slytherins laugh at them. Athena just flips them off.
INSIDE HAGRIDS HUT
Hagrid rummages about, looking for something.
Hagrid: Got jus' the thing. Set 'im down on that chair o'er there [As Ron sits, Hagrid pitches a bucket between his knees. Athena and Hermione glance up questionably. Hagrid shrugs]
Many laugh.
Hagrid: Better out than in. Who was he tryin' ter curse anyway?
Athena: Malfoy. He called Hermione, well, I don't know exactly what it means....
Hermione: [quietly] He called me a Mudblood.
Glares were casted towards Draco.
Hagrid: He didn'!
Athena looks confused. Hermione glances at her, then away, obviously pained by this, Athena gets up and walks to Hermione, she hugs the teary eyed girl. She pulls away and takes a few steps back, giving Hermione her space.
Hermione: It means dirty blood. Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who was Muggle-born. Someone with non-magic parents. Someone... like me. It's not a term one usually hears in civilised conversation.
Hagrid: Yeh see, Athena. There are some wizards -- like Malfoy's family -- who think they're better than everyone else 'cause they're what people call pureblood.
Athena: That's horrible.
Ron: [belches forth a slug] It's disgusting!
Hagrid: An' it's codswallop ter boot. Dirty blood. There's 'ardly a
wizard today that's not half-blood or less. If we 'adn't married Muggles we'd've died out long ago. Besides, they haven't invented a spell our Hermione can't do... [taking her shoulder] Don' you think on it, Hermione. Don' you think on it fer a minute.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Hagrid apart from Walburga.
Athena: Hagrids right you know, I may have not been apart of this world for long but I can tell he's right. You are amazing Hermione.
