I Belong

" No way. Nu uh . You're CRAZY!",Seth Clearwater's voice broke the silence that had fallen over the kitchen .

Athena sighed deeply and broke eye contact with Jacob Black , turning her head to look at her cousin .

" No ,Seth . I'm not crazy . I'm completely sane . I  am a witch . It's in my blood because my father was a wizard . It's not exactly  something I can suck out of my thumb ,now is it?.  Who would believe me anyway?. You're words are proof enough ".

The boy opened and closed his mouth, grasping for words ,but finding nothing to say .

Athena closed her eyes for a moment composing herself .

How was she going to continue ?. Should she tell them everything?. What is everything anyway?. Who she is ?. Where she come from ?. What her school's name is?.

She's already in so much trouble for admitting being a witch .

She lifted a hand to rub her face , grimacing at the ache behind her eyes .

Accidental magic never  really agreed with her . It made her physically sick sometimes .

" So ,let me get this straight ", one of the huge bare chested men said ," You want us ," he waved his hand around at the people around the room," to believe that you ", he pointed to her ," are a witch ".

She looked at him . He was the second tallest and he didn't have a very friendly face . He probably gets angry a lot .

" Yes ," she confirmed .

" But you look normal ", the one , the tallest, next to him said .

She giggled ,not able to help herself because she understood what he meant because Hermione had told her how Muggles think what witches looked like .

" What ?. I don't have a long crooked nose ?. Or a wart on said nose?. I can assure you most of us look completely normal . Except for Umbridge ,she looks like a toad ,and a few others . We can pass for Muggles anytime ,of course , if it isn't for our odd fashion sense sometimes , like wearing long robes and pointy hats ."

" Muggles ?", Seth piped up ," pointy hats and long robes?".

Athena looked at him and nodded . " Yes , we really  wear those things and yes we fly on broomsticks and yes some of us has cats and toads . My friend Hermione's got a ginger cat called Crookshanks . He's a mean old pussycat that looks like he'd collided with a wall . Anyway , on to Muggles  . Muggles are just ordinary people who doesn't have magic in their blood . Sometimes a witch or a wizard is born from an all Muggle family and those we call Muggle-Borns . Hermione is one . I'm a half-blood ,though, because of my mother not being a witch and my father being a wizard . And then there's the pure bloods. Those born into a family of a long line of pure blooded witches and wizards ,like my cousin Draco Malfoy .The absolute prat. "

She pulled a face at saying her cousin's name . Ooh ,she really hated that boy with a passion.

" Draco ?", Quil ,the young one ,spoke up ," that's another unusual name ".

Athena laughed humorlessly . " Yeah ?. Wait until you hear some of the other ones .  Like Narcissa and...and _"

A loud knock coming from the direction of the front door interrupted her from giving any more preposterous names .

With a soft " Wonder who that could be ", Sue left the kitchen to go investigate .

Everyone listened to hear who it is . All most of them could hear is soft murmurs and then footsteps heading to the kitchen .

If Athena had looked at the three tall guys she would've seen them share looks before looking at her . Unfortunately she didn't . Her eyes were on the kitchen doorway like the other people's .
