❝ How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating ❞
She had a lot of time to think about it. She made some money selling her artwork and would love to do that more, but it just wasn’t going to happen. Athena also thought about applying to get a position at hogwarts as a teacher’s assistant possibly but she just wasn’t sure about it. Maybe she just needed some sort of guidance.
Athena walked down the street of Diagon alley and paused when she saw the ice cream shop. She pulled her purse over her right shoulder and shrugged to herself and walked in. Athena got herself a chocolate ice cream, yes how original, and sat down at a table outside. She looked around at the people walking about and then looked down at the ice cream sundae she had ordered. she ate a few scoop fulls and then pulled out a little black journal out of her bag.
Athena specialized in drawing small cartoons, like the ones that she would use to make her friends and brother laugh at school. Sure, the cartoons were sometimes in poor taste or making fun of others but they made people laugh and that’s what Athena liked. She leaned back in the chair and picked up the ice cream sundae and started eating a bit more.

The whole week. Peter had taken the whole week off from work under the understanding he was going on holiday with his parents. As it turned out it was just his parents going on holiday which meant that Peter had taken the week off for nothing really. Yesterday he'd spent the day in Hogsmead. He'd visited his old haunts from his school days and got a few drinks at the Three Broomsticks, watching the beautiful madam Rosmerta working, recalling how he and his fellow Marauders had spent plenty of time on their visits to Hogsmeade trying to flirt with the beautiful bar maid. Yesterday, however, Peter hadn't the nerve to talk to Rosmerta because without his mates encouraging him, he just didn't have the nerve. Today's adventure found him in Diagon Alley. He'd only just arrived when he noticed a familiar figure walking in to Fortescue's. Peter swallowed hard. He'd not seen Athena Ryder for quite some time but she was still as beautiful as he remembered.
Taking a deep breath he decided he'd say hello. He could do that, right? He knew that she wasn't with Sirius right now but he could still say hello, even if she wasn't dating his best mate. Only he didn't want to look like he was stalking her, so what could he do? His mind came to the conclusion that he should just get himself an ice cream and say hi. Maybe she'd even fancy a chat but if not he figured that was okay too.
Making his way into the ice cream parlour Peter watched as Athena made her way out and sat at a table. He placed his order of a scoop of mint chocolate chip and two scoops of rum and raisin. After he paid for his ice cream he built the courage to step outside where he tried to catch Athena's eye with a wave. He stepped next to her table, "Hey Athena. How've you veen, I mean been?" he said with a smile, stumbling over his words, hoping she wouldn't draw attention to it and hoping she'd forget about it pretty fast!

❝ How do I live? How do I breathe?

Athena was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a familiar voice. Athena looked up and saw Peter Pettigrew, one of Sirius Black’s friends from school. Athena knew him through Sirius, her on and off again boyfriend and at this moment in time, she had no idea what her and Sirius were. They hadn’t talked in a bit and now she was starting to feel bad about that. oh well. She knew she would run into him eventually. They always do.
“Hey, Peter.” Athena smiled warmly to him. “i’ve been alright.” Athena paused a moment. “you know, just around, i guess?” Athena stated, then realized she probably should just stop talking.
“what about you?” She then asked. “how are you doing?” She then asked, still thinking that she should probably shut up before she became even more weird. This was why she didn’t have a lot of friends. People just thought she was weird. It wasn’t the good kind of weird either, it was the scary kind. Athena figured people were just scared of her weirdness. It also made her wonder how in the world she even made friends with Sirius Black and possibly the rest of his friends (she considers them friends, but whether or not they feel the same way, that was up to them).
“sit?” She then asked, pointing at the chair across from her.

To receive a warm greeting was relaxing to Peter. He was so stiff and upright from the tension he was holding. He was never really one to be out by himself, he usually worked, did things with the Order if they needed him, or hung out with this three best friends in the world - James Potter, Remus Lupin, and of course, Sirius Black. Peter felt as though Lily was a bit of a bother. She crowded the guys and now she was pregnant she seemed to think that she could keep James pretty much all to herself. It was rather bothersome but Peter wouldn't let it keep him down. He'd keep pushing and pushing to hang out with his mates, sure some times it felt like he was getting on their nerves or as though they were forgetting him, but they had a sort of brother-like bond, only better! It was far closer than he was with his actual brothers. Peter didn't want to lose that, he'd do anything to keep his friends close. Well Remus didn't matter too much, but James and especially Sirius were important to Peter. He even kind of hoped that once James had his baby, that Sirius would become closer to him and consider him a better person to spend his time with than James. Peter liked James but he definitely preferred Sirius' company. He was far more hilarious.
Peter completely understood where Athena was coming from. 'Just around' was certainly something that he could relate to. He often felt like that was what he was doing when he wasn't at work or hanging out with his best friends. He was just around, like today really. "I'm good, just kind of around too," He said, shrugging his shoulders a little. Sirius wasn't available to hang, James was with Lily and Remus had plans or something, Peter didn't really know, but he had a whole week to fill with activities to keep his mind going. He supposed he'd find things to do.
Athena offered him a place to sit and he smiled widely, "Oh, yeah. Thanks." He said, pulling out the seat and taking a lick of his ice cream. The magic ensured it never melted but he couldn't resist. He plonked his arse down in the chair opposite Athena and had another lick of his ice cream. "What flavour did you get?" he asked Athena. It looked like chocolate, all that brown definitely pointed to chocolate, but it could have been something else, he didn't know all the flavours.

Athena looked at Peter, still with an awkward smile on her face. Peter was probably just as awkward as she is, and it was kind of nice that Sirius was able to bring her out of her shell just as he and James did with Peter. Maybe that’s why she seemed to get along with them so well, in a sense. The four of them were all very different, what people would call a strange group of friends.
When he replied with just around too, Athena nodded. She was trying to give her brother space and with that, she really didn’t have anyone to hang out with. Her other friends were busy, which is understandable. That was the joys of everyone having a “normal job” and her just being… well as she said, around. It was fine though, Athena was used to it. She actually liked being alone at times because it gave her the freedom to create, so to speak.
“no one to hang out with?” She asked curiously, wondering what his friends are doing. "Where's your gang at?" Athena then asked him. She also thought it was strange that he would just come up to her like that. Well, yes she would consider them friends in a sense but people usually did not come up to her out of the blue. Oh well. She didn’t mind. It was actually kind of nice to have someone come up to her for once and talk to her. Again, it wasn’t normal.
Athena watched him sit down. He had asked her what flavor she got and she looked down at it. “chocolate.” she replied. “I’m basic.” she then said with a shrug and put another spoonful in her mouth. “what about you?” She then asked him.

Chocolate seemed like a good choice to Peter, kind of a classic really. It was pretty much every kids favourite and there was no need to ever out grow it. Basic? Peter didn't think it was all that basic. Vanilla, now there was a basic flavour, chocolate was rich and pretty darn scrumptious. "Rum and raisin." He said pointing to the top two scoops. His finger then moved to under the rum and raisin where a pale green with flicks of brown could be seen, "And mint choc chip down the bottom." He told her, "I like something extra sweet at the bottom." He confessed.
"How've you been since I last saw you?" He said calmly although internally he was over the moon to be talking to Athena, "Still drawing?" He asked inquizitavely. He'd spotted a book and he'd know she was in to drawing. He'd never really been privvy to her art work but maybe she'd be open about her art right now, maybe she was a secretly famous artist! That would be incredible! Though Peter was sure he would have heard if Athena Ryder was a famous artist, then again she could have been using a different name, kind of like how that girl from Slytherin that was in their year was a famous singer now but under a different name, Autumn Next or something like that.

Athena raised an eyebrow when he said rum and raisin. She didn’t expect that, and it honestly sounded gross. Though, Athena was kind of picky when it came to certain things, and ice cream flavors was one of those things. Peter then went on and said that there was mint chocolate chip down at the bottom. Mint Chocolate chip was alright but all three of them together? Again, that was a bit interesting.
“weird combination.” Athena commented. “so, why those flavors?” She asked him curiously, trying to figure him out a bit more. The bit she knew about him was from school, from Sirius. She wondered if there was a bit more to Peter Pettigrew than others knew, even his friends.
He then asked how she has been since he had last seen her. Wow, how long had that been? She had no idea when the last time it was that she had seen him. “I mean, Ive been okay.” She paused a moment. “Well, as okay as can be, I guess.” she shrugged and then looked over at him. “I guess I haven’t really been the social butterfly, though I’ve never really been the social butterfly at all.” Athena narrowed her eyes to continue thinking about it.
still drawing? Athena heard and that snapped her out of her thoughts. “yeah, a bit.” She said. Well, it was more than a bit, she really was drawing more than a bit. “Well, maybe more than that, but yeah, still drawing.” She said. “so, you working?” she then asked him curiously. “what do you do?” She then asked him.

"I dunno. Mum and dad always had rum and raisin in the freezer. I used to nick some when they weren't home and the mint choc is my favourite." He chuckled. He and his brothers were always stealing their parents ice cream when they ran out of their own as kids, now Peter was able to go out and get his own! It was great being an adult, although he'd still rather be going out with his mates. It was nice to run in to Athena, though. She was a nice lass and easy to talk to, it seemed. He'd had issues with talking to girls in the past, girls that he liked that was, but it was easy with Athena. Probably because she'd been Sirius' girlfriend a few times which made it a little easier.
Peter smiled when Athena said she was still drawing. That was great. He'd always wished he'd had something special about himself. James was great at quidditch, Remus was amazingly smart, Sirius was so smooth but him? He didn't really have anything special to offer the world. He couldn't draw, he couldn't sing, he couldn't play any kind of instrument or speak another language. He was just himself and that was all. "I work with my dad. It's all boring really," He explained, pausing for just a second to take a lick of his ice cream, "I try to do as little as possible." He laughed, kind of joking, kind of not. He hated his job, he was actually looking forward to a holiday from it, but it turned out it wasn't even him going on holiday! "Have you got any plans for the summer?" He asked. It was coming fast. Spring was nearly at an end and summer plans were starting to form. Peter still didn't have any, but he would try for something fun, at least once.
