Athena awoke from a sound sleep just realizing that she hadn't finished her muggle studies essay. "Damn it all! Professor is going to kill me if I don't hand in my essay yet again!" She quietly got up gathered her books, parchment, and quills. She put on her crimson robe and set out for the common room. She took careful steps so as not to wake her dorm mates. When she reached the curve of the step she saw the fire was glowing. In a hushed tone she asked "Who's down here?" She stood still awaiting an answer.

Athena heard the name and sighed heavily, knowing that with Dean down in the common room her work would go unfinished. She decided to announce herself. "Hi Dean." Athena whispered hoping that he'd recognize her voice. If not she thought "then our time in the forrest was merely a way for him to pass the time." She quickly thought of a question to get him to respond "Is it safe?" She awaited silently for his answer.

Dean frowned "What do you mean by safe Athena?" he asked. "If you mean is there anyone else there... that's a no. But I'm not quite getting your drift. Just come on down... come eat some marshmallows." he grinned. He looked into the darkness, trying to see her.

Athena heard Dean answer and thought to herself, "He knew my voice, he actually wants to be friends." She completed her walk down to the common room. She saw Dean sitting there eating marshmellows but not roasting them. "You have a fire lit and you aren't eating the marshmellow's roasted. Why?" Athena put down her books and various other supplies on the table, grabbed the bridge of her nose cursing herself out for the stupidity of the question. She took a seat next to Dean and grabbed a marshmellow. With a full mouth she looked at Dean and ask "Show ohh ouldn't seep either?"

Athena chuckled softly. "So want to help me with me essay? Seeing as how you are just sitting there." Athena asked in a hushed tone so as to not wake anyone up. "So where did you get these amazing marshmellows they are nothing like the ones I have at home." Athena asked passing the time. She walked over to her books and various other homework accessories, grabbed them and laid them out on the floor of the common room. "Now this won't do. I can barely see in here." She picked up her wand and spoke "Lumos". "There that's better, so Dean gonna help me?"

'What is the essay on? I'm not hte most intellegant bloke on the planet... I'm mearly the second" he joked. "I'm not sure. You'd have to ask Honeydukes, they made them. But I must agree they are quite delicious. He looked down at all of the papers "ah... Muggle Studies, my sister is in that class... so am I now that I come to think about it but... hehe we'll just ignore that fact."

Athena looked up from the essay. "The topic is muggle technology. I did poorly last term so this is extra credit. First off do you know anything about muggle technology? All I know is that it doesn't work well with out magic, and I don't think that I can make an entire essay just repeating the phrase "It won't work here"." Athena looked into her reference book labeled "Muggles and You: How to blend in, in their world." Athena looked to Dean and realized that she was in for yet another long night. Athena buried her nose in the book grabbing a marshmellow.
"A-ha!" Athena said in victory. "Here is some technology that is really interesting. It says here this piece of technology connects muggles from all around the world using something called the in-ter-net. Have you ever heard of this in-ter-net Dean?" Athena looked at Dean awaiting his answer.

"The internet?" Dean had trouble keeping a straight face, he ran a hand down his face and took a deep breath "I was raised by my grandparents... who are muggles so yes, I have heard of Internet. It's quite a joly good time actually."

Athena saw Dean beginning to laugh and asked "What is so funny about me not knowing about the Internet?" She grabbed for another marshmallow quickly shoving it in her mouth. "So Dean, has your sister had any problems lately with that Swift guy? I've got a cousin in Slytherin she could talk to him."
Athena looked down at her essay and realized that she had only written one line " Modern day muggles have many various forms of communicating with each other whether it be by the telephone, mail, or the most interesting and fastest growing means, the internet....." She pulled away from the essay taking a breath. She reached into her robe pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes took one out of the pack and lit one. "You don't mind right Dean?" She asked as she took another drag.

"Nothing, it's just sometimes I forget that most wizards don't know a lot about hte Muggle world." Dean said, raising his hands in a innocent stance. Dean frowned as the mention of his sister came up "Erm... I don't know to tell you the truth... She won't talk to me." he said, rubbing a tired hand down his face. he watched as Athena pulled out some smokes, and had trouble keeping hte disgusted look off his face. "Eh.... no" he said "Go on" he pulled out his wand, blowing the smoke away from him.

Athena took a long drag from her cigarette. "I only started smoking after my father became sick, I find it calms my nerves. So this Internet, it connects muggles everywhere do you think it could be used in our world in some capacity?" Athena looked at Dean noticing his not so carefully hidden look of disgust. She took her last long drag off her cigarette and put it out. "I'm sorry, if I offended you!" Athena said earnestly. She began to frown as she thought " Good job Athena you finally managed to make a friend and you alienate him with your smoking."
Athena looked to Dean with sincerity in her eyes, "Thank you for your help. I think I'll finish this later." Athena grabbed one last marshmallow and raised her wand "Accio my school things" Her books, parchment and pens flew to her and she got hit square in the chest with her heaviest book. She fell to the floor and began to laugh.

Dean laughed as Athena was hit, as she went the the ground he picked up the book and set it with the rest of her school things "Are you alright?" he asked, laughing. "That looked like it hurt."
