Athena stepped out of the shower, taking in a deep sigh, glad to be home again. She’d used all of her best bath gels and shampoos, since she’d only be sitting around the flat anyway. She’d wanted a bath, but bending down to lay in the tub was still a bit too painful, so she’d opted to stand. Athena used her wand to dry off her hair before pulling it back into a loose bun,
She toweled off before throwing on some panties and her silk robe, heading to the kitchen where her tea kettle was still warm. She scratched Marilyn behind the ears as she sat on the counter. Athena leaned down and kissed her nose, ignoring the small tug of pain it caused. She would have to deal with it. Athena made herself a mug of tea, adding much more honey than was necessary, but she thought she’d earned some indulgence.
Athena made her way back to the sitting room, sitting on the couch, tucking her feet underneath her body before grabbing at the small photo album she’d been looking at days ago, the last time she’d been home.
She flipped through it, looking at different pictures from her school days. She and Tonks at one of the Hufflepuff parties, between the two of them, they were always sneaking into each others common rooms. Them at the beach before the Auror Corps. Them watching the boys doing, well, she couldn't remember what they were watching, but they looked disturbed. The time Callum had started making out with a Quaffle because he'd been so out of it. The night before their final day at Hogwarts. Athena chuckled as she looked at some pictures from the night she and Tonks had ended up so drunk they'd-well, done things Athena still didn't fully remember. She and Tonks at the last Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw match. Another at the beach. One of Charlie kissing her, she suspected Tonks had taken it.
Athena smiled, petting Marilyn some more. She’d jumped up and sat herself down in the photo album. “Look, gorgeous, mummy used to do something besides work.” She teased, letting out a sigh. She didn’t miss it, per se, she’d had a good time in her youth and she loved working, but she did miss Tonks, terribly. Getting along well with someone besides the boys was never her forte, but Tonks was one of the boys herself, she’d been easy. Finding a new ‘girlfriend’ to replace her seemed a bit wrong, but she did miss it.
She also missed Charlie. She moved Marilyn to the couch itself and looked through more pictures of Charlie, some with Bill, she even recognized a very young Percy in a few. She still felt like she’d completely screwed her chance with him, did she really have to be so stubborn?
No, she just did it out of habit.
She closed the album and set it aside, drinking some more tea, watching as Marilyn jumped off the couch, strutting off to the bedroom.
Athena bit her lip, trying to think of something to do. What did people with free time do with themselves? Usually, on her days off, Athena spent them with Charlie, or Teddy, she hadn’t had time completely to herself in a long time. When she had, she usually had files to look over, but everything was in her office. She already planned to go tomorrow to get them, it was too late now. She frowned, realizing she had no new books to read either.
She groaned, she was so bored. Now she really missed Charlie, his suggestion to give it to her while she lay there sounded really good about now.
She got up and went to ransack her bookshelf, grabbing an old charms book and sitting back down, wishing Elphie would come back so she could send out some owls.
