It started out as any other Friday morning at Hogwarts, Dite sitting there with her Ancient Runes text propped up and a bowl of poreidge and fruit in front of her. Sitting in between Alice and Lily. The two girls talked the night that Dite brought the slice of cake back as a peace offering to the red head. Who had spoken to her Slytherin friend and found out that Dite was telling the truth. Now they where on better terms, except that the marauders spent a bit of time with Dite, mainly to annoy her in James and Sirius's case. Peter usually asked for help in a few classes which Remus greatly appreciated since he explained that he was the usual one to help Peter with class work. It was a quiet morning, but you could hear everyone talking about the next day. It was Halloween, and the first Hogsmead weekend fell on the same day, it was also the full moon. Which meant that Remus looked like the dead being so sick and tired.
"My beautiful Lily-flower, would you do me the honor of going to Hogsmead with me tomorrow?" James asked as he sat down across from the three girls.
"Has hell frozen over James?" She asked her cheery mood darkening.
"Um hell?" James asked confused.
Rolling her eyes, Lily looked at him, "My answer is no James, and I already have plans."
Before an argument could start between them, the morning mail had arrived. Owls swooping in and around the roof of the great hall, dropping packages, envelopes, and other parcels. Dite noticed the family owl Arise flaying towards her. After the last few packages and letters, Dite asked Mana if she could send some chocolate Baklava around the full moons. So when Dite opened the package and found original Baklava and Chocolate, she looked at the sick boy and smiled softly.
"Remus, have you ever tried chocolate Baklava?" She asked his as she watched him barley touch his breakfast.
"I don't think so." He looked up at her, his dark circles dark under his eyes; his eyes look sunken into his face.
She picked up a piece and placed in on a napkin to hand to him. The girls had tried her Mana's original baklava so she gave Alice and Lily both a piece. With the three teen moaning at the taste James was insistent to try it, but once he took a bite the boy spit it out commenting that it wasn't that good. Baklava was an acquired taste to some, so Dite could understand why James wasn't found of it. Soon their nice quiet table was made the scene of one of Sirius's womanizing dramas.
"I'm sorry but I already have plans." Sirius's voice carried to the group.
James rolled his eyes commenting that the Ravenclaw girl wouldn't give up. Peter laughed and told Dite that the girl was the only girl that pursued Sirius until she found someone to date. Lily finally explained that Rita Larvae was a would be sensation reporter for that Daily. Dite realized just who the girl was and the memories of the horrible articles she wrote about her in fourth year came out of the box and so did the time she trapped the Beatle Animagus in a jar for a month before they struck a bargain.
"Oh come on Sirius, it would be fun." The girl leaned into Sirius as he tried to back away from her.
"Larvae, I have made plans with someone already." He insisted looking around the great hall until his eyes landed on Dite.
"Sirius, I already know you haven't been seeing anyone since the start of term." Rita purred at him.
To Dite it looked like Rita was always a sleaze and trying to seduce boys around her. Dite turned from the drama unraveling back to her letter she got from her parents.
"Just because I haven't made it public doesn't mean I haven't." He rebuffed, his voice sounded like he was getting closer to their group's place at the Gryffindor table.
"Your not one to hide anything from the other students." The purr in the girls voice was going to cause Dite to loose her appetite and quit possibly the food already in her stomach.
"Larvae, I'm going to Hogsmead with Aphrodite." He said slinging his arms around her and whispering to play along.
Dite's eyes got wide as she turned to the boy. It was almost like how Ron only asked her as a last resort as a date to the Yule ball. She had already made plans to make it a girl's day with Lily and Alice, with no boys. Anger rolled up in her and she could feel her magic crackle in side her as she began to glare at the boy who smiled at the other flabbergasted girl.
"ME SYNCHOREIS!" Her voice rose louder then any have heard it yet this year.
"Remember I asked you?" His eyes pleading with her.
"Larvae, I have not clue what this Bastardos is saying. Your completely free to go with him in my place seeing as I've already made plans for tomorrow." Dite said getting up, pushing Sirius off the bench he was barely sitting on between her and Alice. She grabbed her bag, placed the text she was reading inside and told the girls she was taking the Baklava to the tower and she'll see them in class. She left leaving a shocked group of friends, an pleased girl who was eyeing the boy that Dite just dropped on the floor like he was a piece of chocolate. She walked with a purpose to the tower and dared any of the group of Slytherins that fallowed Lucius Malfoy to jinx her today. Those boys have sent the tripping jinx, and many other prank jinxes at her over the last week. If any did they would find them selves at the end of her wand and dealing with the Bat-Bogey hex if not another hex she had in her arsenal of hexes and jinxes.
"Den boro na pistepso oti skeftike oti tha symfonousa me mia imerominia os eschati lysi!" Dite said angrily as she entered the tower, nearly scaring a first year boy.
Dite was still upset at Sirius when he tried to talk to her after Charms; she gave him a pig nose and walked away from him in a huff heading to the potions room. She sat next to Alice who was looking between the pig faced Sirius, who James was trying to fix to the girl who had never shown her anger.
"Why are you so upset?" She whispered as Slughorn preceded to not notice the marauders not paying attention to his lecture.
"I don't like being a last resort to anyone." She whispered.
It had hurt in forth year when Ron had only asked her because he thought that she didn't have a date. Also because he couldn't get the courage to ask out a girl except Fleur before he ran from her. Quit pathetic if you asked her.
"I'm guessing it happened at your old school?" Alice asked with a knowing look come across her eyes that flicked to Frank.
"It was festival when a friend only asked me because he thought I didn't have a date and that it would be sad if a girl showed up unescorted." Dite told her.
"I would have reacted the same way, but what did you call him?" She asked.
"A bastard." Dite shrugged turning back to the potions lecture.
Sirius got the memo once he had ears and a tail to match the pig nose by dinner and having many of the students laughing at his expense. Even the Slytherin house was chuckling at the Gryffindor boy clearly showed his embarrassment. Lily loved it and even threatened James to make them twins after his twelfth time asking her to Hogsmead, it caused him to clamp his mouth shut and be quiet. By dinner Lily had also gotten the story why she was so angry with the boy and agreed that it wasn't a nice thing to do, or Skata once they found out what shit was in Greek.
The next day when Sirius had some how found out why she had gotten so pissed at him, he apologized and explained that it wasn't what he meant. She casted the counted to the spell she used on him and told him never to do that again. But in her mind she knew he was of the male human species and they where known for their lapse in memory. So eating with the group and James couldn't go 5 minutes with out asking Lily out and it ended with his glass of pumpkin juice exploding all over his face and getting his hair wet.
Once in the village, the girls laughed at James's face that morning and how he just couldn't figure out who would think of such a think to do. They spent time in the small bookshop looking for books to read during their leisure time when they weren't being harassed by Ilithia agoria, studying or worrying about OWLS. They showed Dite to the villages stationer to get new quills and Dite picked up a leather bound journal that she planned on enchanting once back at the castle. It was going to help her keep all those memories of the future in order and help her possibly make a plan to change the future. Next was the small clothing store to look for some warmer soaks to wear in the castle since the girls pointed out that Dite's teeth would chatter like she had just ate a Ice Mice candy when her feet got to cold and the warming charm had warn off. By then it was around lunchtime and they decided to stop at the Three Broomsticks for some fish n chips, as that was the special and a round of Butter Beer. Their last stop was Honey dukes candy shop; the girls stocked up on their favorite candy and Dite pretended to have them introduce her to some candy that she hadn't heard of. She grabbed a variety pack of sugar quills, some Ice Mice to prank Sirius with, and she picked up a chocolate bar to sneak into the hospital wing in the morning for Remus. She felt sad that he would spend another full moon alone, as she never knew when the others had become Animagus in her time.
Looking up, she watched as Sirius practically ran from Rita. Since she declined Sirius's offer, Rita had demanded that he take her to lunch for trying to get out of a Hogsmead date. She felt a small pang of pity in her chest for the boy's predicament.
"What you did yesterday was satisfying to see, he is a pig." A voice almost as smooth as Sirius's own caused her to jump and turn to who addressed her.
"I'm glade to amuse you, um…?" She looked at the boy who could have been Sirius's twin if not for the up kept hair and the lighter gray silver eyes.
"Black, Regulus Black, the pigs younger brother." He picked up her small hand and bowed over it.
"Aphrodite Prewett, a pleasure Regulus." She nodded to him.
In Dite's time she never heard of Regulus Black or that Sirius ever had a brother. The man who had spent 12 years in Azkaban never brought up a brother, only his evil mother whose portrait on the stairs would scream MUDBLOOD at her, or BLOOD TRAITOR at the other order members.
"Miss. Prewett, the pleasure is all mine, the site of seeing my brother chasing after an angry witch and becoming more and more of the pig that he is will be a memory I wont soon forget." He smirked at her.
"Please, Dite, I'm still getting used to the new name." She smiled at him.
"You didn't know you where a Prewett before you came here?" He asked.
"No, I only found out this summer after my school let out. I was given my grandmothers maiden name since she didn't want me found out." She looked to the ground.
"I hear from my mother that your grandmother was very traditional. What was your name before?" He asked curiously.
"It was Aphrodite Persopoulos, so my name shortened a bit." She let out a small laugh.
"I know that the older witches and wizards can be sods, it's a shame that you never really enjoyed life till now." He said as if he knew what it was like.
"Dite! There you are!" Lily said coming up to her and Regulus interrupting their conversation.
"Evens." Regulus nodded to Lily.
"Black." She nodded back then eyeing Dite.
"Well Miss. Prewett, I had thanked you for the amusement you provided yesterday, I'll take my leave." Regulus said and then left the two girls their.
On the way back up to the castle, Lily had asked why Regulus Black had sought her out earlier that day. None of the girls realized that James, Sirius and Peter had jumped into the carriage with the girls and heard the question. James and Peter looked at each other before eyeing Sirius. Sirius soon began to ask crazy questions, like had he called her any names? Was he rude at all? The questions he asked and not giving her enough time to answer caused him to grow angrier and angrier. She finally slapped him to stop asking questions, like the time she slapped Harry to bring him back to his senses.
"Your brother was nice and thanked me for the amusement I provided him yesterday at your expense." She said and that was when the carriage stopped and she climbed out and walked away. She didn't pay attention to they boys after that, at least until the feast.
As she ate with Alice, Lily and a 6th year girl Marlene they all turned to the Slytherin table when all the students their grew vampire fangs, wolf ears, large warts. Almost like you would see in muggle stories or store around Halloween for them to dress up as. As soon as the screams started from the other table the marauders, except Remus, where all on the floor holding their sides as if it was the funniest thing that they have ever done. The action had McGonagall storming down between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables until she stood above the boys with a look of disappointment. After giving detentions and taking house points away she ordered the Slytherin students to the infirmary to have themselves fixed properly.
Later that night after Lily had a yell at the boys for their immaturity and how pranks like what they have pulled can damage a persons esteem. Dite found herself reading on the window seal as the girls slept. The bright full moon gave off enough light that she didn't need her wand to cast lumos to read. She looked to the moon and thought of the full moon that she ousted Remus to both Harry and Ron in the shrieking shack. She had felt so bad that she had done that. She had apologized to the werewolf many times, even after he accepted and told her not to worry about it. Dite still felt homesick even now, but as Sophia, Fabian and Gideon explained, she had no way of getting home. Also with the fact that she is a completely different person and she has a completely different magical core that if she ever met herself in the future that she wouldn't dive herself crazy. Now it was time to plan, she had till 1981 to figure out how to defeat the Dark Lord and keep him from coming back. With one last look at the moon, she got up and climbed into bed with Hermes and fell asleep to the howls she heard from the shack.
