it took a couple weeks for them to work out all the details and as Athena wasn't in Gryffindor, she didn't have a lot of say in the matter. This also meant she didn't really know what was going on. Until she was dragged to the Hog's Head by her Hermione one Hogsmeade trip.
The whole time she had made small talk with the trio, though she still hated Harry Potter.
During their three dreadful classes together, he made sure to always ask Athena for notes or instructions on what they were doing, and though he still greatly annoyed her at times, she had slowly began to adjust to the nagging.
So as he told the girl random stories she just let her head nod, and her eyes drift off to the snowy landscape.
When Athena snapped back into it the room had filled with students , all varying in ages and houses. Though she quickly noticed the lack of Slytherins. She quickly met her two friends eyes and flashed them a small grin.

But he was her age, and had lived through so much darkness, so much pain. And maybe that was the first time Athena Malkin didn't completely hate Harry Potter.
