Chapter 4

After being forced to swallow three nutrition potions, eat a full meal and showered, Athena feel a little more human.

She was brough in a bright room, Roy at her side explaining what will happen. There so many Time Jumpers over the years that they have an entire procedure for them.

The room itself was more like a library, the shelves were full of names and their suppose memories. It looked a little like the Prophecy Room from her fifth year. The procedure plied extracting her most important memories, that are later sealed in her blood and should destroy itself if someone else tried to view them. Then Athena makes a Vow of Silence, swears in blood and magic, that she will not reveal the future, she will always wear a piece of cloth ,jewelry of her choice that will maintain her silence and if needed punish her.

She didn't like the idea to be a treated like a tamed dog by them, but she learned to live with loopholes all around her.

She chose the first gift Harry and Draco give her. It was the first time Draco did something by himself without his mother or elves help, and also the first time Harry chose something for someone without Molly and Hermione meddling. She lost it fighting Rockwood. A black leather, silver spiked choker. Her Da hated the bloody thing.

At the final of the first week, three weeks before school begins, the exact same thing was brought by Roy. The announcement that without it she wouldn't get out of that white room made the choker feel a little to tight.

" You will be given a budget for school supplies and clothes. It will be enough for 2, maxim 3 years, until you graduate. You need to get a job, start a business or just make your own money. The newspaper revealed that there is a Jumper, nothing else, but once you begin school it will be clear. You will remain here until Hogwarts, rest ,heal and try not to lose your mind. The fireplace will work just for the Muggle World. Please don't interact with other wizard kind until it's time to take your school supplies. " Roy say giving me a pair of plain, loose clothes

" I got it. Thanks Roy...um, my wand?"

" Ah..it broke when you arrived, there was nothing salvageable of it. Ollivender will help you though.

Right.. deep breaths.

Before the second week could begin Athena stared all night at the walls. And when the sun finally rose, she smiled satisfied. A chaotic ,kind of insane and a little bit suicidal of a plan nestling in a corner of her mind.

From the next three weeks she bitterly toke potions that variated from vitamins to anti depressive, switched crying and panic with working out and late, sleepless nights with war strategies.

Her plan was to shake up the Wizarding World with her arrival. The last Time Jumper that resided in Britain and actually revealed themselves died seventy years ago. And the last Jumper that got noticed beside the automatic fact that they are from another time was around the 1700.

She would make Voldy more interested in her, not letting her Da become a Death Eater, destroy the soul pieces and everything before it could begin. Her time limit was 31 July 1980, it was self-explanatory.

If she was careful enough she would finish this mess on the war side and have no need to meddle with politics after. Her situation implied that there's no luck on her side though.

But before anything else she has priorities. And that means clothes. Because at the end of the day outside appearance was the most important in making yourself noticed. She needed to attract attention at first glance and no one looks at a ugly person and thinks it would be a good idea to talk with them or be seen with them.

She has a limiter budget and no way of going to Diagonal Alley ,that means thrift-shop. It was a good thing that it didn't matter what size the clothes were and that she learned the nonverbal Adjustment Size Charm with Draco in fifth-year.

She finds t-shirts, tops, v-lined or over a shoulder. White, black, dark purple ,pale blue and green. Jeans ,ripped or simple. Loose blouses, soft hoody's, leggings and a pair of worn out leather boots. She finds a forgotten leather jacket and can't help but take it with her. She stoles a couple of silver rings and a bright red lipstick.

After that she readjusted her clothes, works out and reads that year newspapers that Roy brought. She locked away all the nightmares with eerie green eyes and a bleeding necks.

There were four days until Hogwarts begin and she finally get out of that of that place. She ignored all the brightness around and didn't even notice the stares from the passerby ,when she arrived in Diagon Alley. . She was wearing a pair of pale blue jeans, the boots that were her only shoes actually, black top and white shirt. The shirt was tied exposing a little of her waist. It wasn't a surprise that she was stared at, usually muggleborns avoided wearing too obvious muggle clothes. That like usual, doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

Her first stop was Ollivander. She desperately needed a wand, Athena wasn't really sure if she could go longer than this without one. She was aware though that there will be slim changes of having the same wand once more. Ollivander was thinking the same think after having his windows blow.

'' Let's see...how about this.'' he gives her a startling white wand. Straight to say Ollivander didn't have anymore windows now.

'' This one.'' Pitch black wood, dragon heartstring

'' This one.'' Applewood, thunderbird feather

'' This..?'' Cedar wood, unicorn hair

'' ...'' oh, this, this is nice

The wand wood looked pitch black, it looked like it was split in two and intertwined once more. At the first touch , her entire arm filled with goosebumps and a constant warm feeling traveled through her body. Stupidly enough it made eyes quite moist.

'' An old friend of mine had her. He give it to me after losing his wife. It seems she choose a new owner . Blackthorn with Rougarou hair, unyielded. There will be a long and hard path you walk on, but she will hold you up in any battle, Miss Snape.''

She left the shop thinking of his ability of knowing names without being spoken. In her newly brought wand holder, the wand thrums and a small smile blooms on Athena face.
