******************************************************Hello Lovelies!
I decided that I will keep the poll for the three ships open till Monday as my schedule will be a bit packed this weekend after this chapter. So please keep the reviews coming with you thoughts on the ships for this story:) So far as I can see you all are at a tie between RemusxHermione and RegulusxHermione, with a few SiriusxHermione. Both would be interesting to see how they play out. To let you all know, I cant see the reviews I get on the site or the app at the moment, so I'm relying on my email notifications to respond to your fascinating reviews.
Thank You All:)
Christmas at the Prewett household was one of the things Dite would never forget. Molly was just as busy as she is in the future even with out all the children. Even Sophia was bustling in the kitchen making traditional dishes that where on her family table at the holiday, such as; Yiaprakia stuffed cabbage, Christopsomo bread, Kalitsounia Kritis cheese pastries, and of course Baklava. But before the cooking started the family opened their gifts. Sure Dite got her friends gifts and sent them yesterday. Lily she found an enchanted necklace that bloomed in the sun transforming into a lily along with leather bounded journal with lilies etched into the cover with a quill set to go along with it. For Alice, she found a set of Poppy earrings that where just as enchanted as Lily's necklace, but she found a unique book with defensive spells since the girl wanted to be Aurar after school. The Sirius she knew in the future was obsessed with the motorcycle, so she enchanted a muggle magazines about the vehicles so that if his mother or father see him reading them, they look like spell books, or other magical books along with some Cockroach Clusters that she has seen him eating discreetly in class. For James, she found a book on magical pranks and a book on muggle pranks to go with the couple of chocolate frogs, Peter also got chocolate frogs since he still collected the cards and she also got him a muggle detective kit she found since she wasn't sure what else to get him. Peter was a quiet boy, who seemed to fallow the other three more then being his own person. Remus got the largest package as the full moon was in a couple of days, and indulging his chocolate addiction, she asked Sophia to whip up a batch of chocolate baklava, and she also added chocolate to the Kalitsounia Kritis Cheese Pastries, which she tried and loved them, she also found a book on the magical creatures of the Greek Islands to go with the book on the differences of the dark arts that she found and thought he would enjoy.
Sure shopping for her friends happen to be one of the things she had done since the break had begun, but she also shopped for her family. She found a knitting book for Molly with different patterns and knitting styles, Author she got him some muggle things; a radio that worked, she also found a rubber chicken as she remembered that he asked Harry about the function of one when he first met the boy. For Fabian and Gideon, she got them both some dueling gloves that where practical for work, For Sophia she found a locket that extended to hold multiple pictures, she placed a photo of the twins, of herself and one of the four of them inside.
"Kalimera glykia mou." Mana said kissing the top of her head when she walked into the family room, in her head she translated, "Good Morning my sweetling."
"Kalimera Mana." She spoke with a yawn before seeing Fabian and Gideon sitting on the sofa there.
"Well the little one is up, now presents!" Fabian said excitedly like how Fred and George used to act on Christmas morning.
"He has been waiting for a while for you to get up Pet." Gideon laughed as Fabian jumped up as she sunk next to Gideon on the sofa.
When the presents where opened, Dite had been given a bit more then she would have thought. Alice had sent her a book on enchanted items, James a whole box of sugar quills with every flavor, Peter had sent her a new journal, Sirius and enchanted Shell to keep her jewelry in on her bedside table, Lily found a quick notes quill set that would take her notes for class for her, Remus had sent a few muggle novels about a Greek detective that she was thrilled to read. Fabian and Gideon had given her a necklace with a blue sea-stone flack that sat right at the base of her neck, they all received Molly's famed sweaters she made for everyone, and instead of an "H" like she used to get her's has an "A" on the front. Author gave her n enchanted muggle purse that had an extension charm on it, but not the undetectable one she was working on figuring out in the future. Sophia gave her something she will cherish forever; a single pearl bracelet that was a gift a daughter would receive from her mother and was a tradition with in Greek magical families. Dite learned that like her in Britain, in Greece they had magical traditions among their families. And one was the passing of a single pearl from mother to daughter. Dite slipped the bracelet on next to her other one she wore, knowing that neither would tarnish or turn her wrist green like fake muggle jewelry did.
As Molly and Sophia busied themselves in the kitchen readying the food for their family dinner, Dite was curled up in the side of Fabian whom had calmed down after the presents where opened. She was reading one of the books she had received that morning, when a black owl passed though the window with a parcel, then provided to drop in in her lap before flying off.
"A gift from an admirer?" Gideon asked looking up from the Daily he was reading.
"Not sure, I spend most of my time in the Library." She said sitting up and looking at the box.
The box wasn't wrapped as a Christmas gift would be, but it did have an envelope on the top of the box.
'Noticed you where looking for ways to become immortal.'
She opened the box to find a very old volume of a book that was probably from before magic was split up into the many different branches that they are today and in the future. So this book possibly was older then Hogwarts it's self or close to it. Dite knew that books this old where rare to find and had all matters of enchantments to them.
"You seem to get a lot of books from your friends, but this is either a family heirloom or a very rare find in any book shop." Gideon spoke plucking the book from her hands.
"Must be some admirer you have there Pet." Fabian agreed with his brother.
"Well I wouldn't know who it is." She muttered looking at them apprehensively.
"Is it alright if we keep hold of this for a few days lov?"
"We want to make sure that there hasn't been any dark enchantments placed on it."
"Death Eaters do like to hide curses under seemingly harmless ones." The twins spoke back and forth as if they shared one brain at the moment.
"Sure, if I have it by the time I go back to school." She smiled knowing they just wanted her to be safe.
It's something she noticed about them, that they truly cared for her, as if she had always been apart of their lives. She knew that the potion that changed her core and magically adopted her made her family but she also thought that it created those feelings of love in the parents. That was until Sophia sat down with her and explained that they where planning on adopting a child, it be magical or muggle, so they already had a feeling of love for any child that came into their family, that they love having her with them and they wouldn't change a thing.
"So lov you haven't told us if any boys have been asking you out." Gideon said upon returning to the living room.
"Unless you call Sirius asking me to Hogsmead as a way to get out of a date with a Ravenclaw that was ambient about them going together, but no not really." She shrugged settling back in the spot she was before the package was delivered.
"Well we'll have to talk to Mr. Black then." Fabian chuckled.
"No need Baba." She sighed.
"Sure there is, He isn't good enough for you." Gid spoke up smirking.
"He's immature and honestly a pest." She muttered loud enough for Fab to hear her.
"A Pest she called him!" Fabian laughed.
"At least she can see it." Gid eyed his laughing brother.
At that moment mana came walking into the living room and watched as the two men teased their daughter about the Black boy. Author was trying to figure out what the rubber chicken was for as he was examining it magically in his own little world.
" Prepei na einai ena parasite opos kai oi dyo sas." Sophia rolled her eyes.
"I agree mana, he is as much of a pest as baba's are." She got up as Molly entered to tell them that dinner was done and to wash up.
20-year-old Molly was just as motherly as the 30-year-old Molly she knew in the future. Dite got up, placing a bookmark that also came with the books Remus sent inside the pages she was reading. She sat the book on the side table so that she could come back to it later after dinner. Washing up in the kitchen and taking her seat next to Sophia at the table, Fabian sat at on end of the table as Gideon sat at the opposite end, Author and Molly across from Sophia and Dite.
"Kali Orexi." "Bon appetite." Was spoken around the table.
Once plates where filled, Molly spoke,
"Dite how are you liking Hogwarts?"
Swallowing the Yiaprakia she had in her mouth,
"Hogwarts is different, it's not as open as the institute is. At first I felt a bit over whelmed from how enclosed it was, but I got used to it." She explained.
"Is it really that enclosed compared to the school in Greece?" Molly asked with curiosity.
"Oh yes, the school was built when Roman columns and the idea of there be enough space that the ocean breeze could pass straight through a space."
"I see." Molly nodded as Author asked if the girl had made any friends at Hogwarts.
Before she could answer, Fabian answered for her.
"Yes, the Marauder's, Lily Even and Alice Greengrass."
Molly's eyes opened wide at the mention of the students that her niece had befriended.
"Those boys are nothing but trouble, always up to no good in my opinion." Molly spoke firmly.
"But they are great for a laugh if you ask me." Author chuckled.
"I'm looking forward to meeting al her friends, as they are all coming over that day after Boxing day to celebrate Dite's birthday, as its tomorrow and they all have things to do with family. We as a family will celebrate quietly tomorrow." Sophia spoke with a kind smile.
That was true, Sophia planned a party for the 16-year-old girl it was originally going to be on her birthday until all of her friends replied saying that they couldn't due to family obligations but could the fallowing day. So the party was moved to the next day. Sophia and Dite spent the first night back talking all about her term at Hogwarts in this time. She seemed to be excited to met them, she was even up for the idea of the girls staying the night and had one of the spare rooms in the manor into a room filled with pillows, they even brought in a magical projector to show muggle movies for the girls. She even went as far as enchanting the door to not allow those of the male species into the room, since the twins teased about listening in on the conversation the girls where going to have.
"It will be fun." Dite smiled at the thought.
Christmas and Boxing Day passed with ease, and uneventful, which pleased the Prewett family. The day of the party, Dite was woken up by two masses that jumped onto her bed. Opening her eyes she found both Lily and Alice laughing at their own antics. They laughed as the waking girl got up and walked to the restroom to wash her face.
"Why are you to here so early?" She asked when she exited the bath.
"To start the celebration early." Lily said.
"We missed the actual day so we want to make the best of the day." Lily exclaimed.
"And we wanted to be here before the boys too." The girls said with a smile.
Dite shook her hear at her two friends, knowing that today would be full of fun and excitement for all of them. Sure Fabian and Gideon will probably threaten the boys about staying away from Dite. James will probably harass Lily about going on a date with him, which everyone would laugh at. Sirius will be outrages about calling her his Aphrodite like he has since they met, she didn't think he liked her that way but it would drive her Baba's up a wall. Remus will laugh at the craziness of the group. And Peter she still wasn't sure about him, she couldn't figure how he became friends with the other three. Was he just drawn to those who have power to be who they are? Was if power that drew him to the Dark Lord? How was he a Gryffindor if he just stayed in the back grown? The boy un-nerved her since it seemed as though he watched her every move. It was weird that she seemed to warm up to Regulus more then Peter and the Slytherin was cryptic then anything. She turned to her friends and pushed the thoughts of Peter and the Future for now. She can worry about that stuff later, today was a celebration.
Secretswiss- I am so happy that you are loving the story and cant wait for more :). And no worries about the spelling, I totally understand the auto correct on a cell phone lol.
Dani asmar Potter- I'm happy for your input on which ship you would like to see:)
To the guest reader who said that Remus definitely deserves the sweet Aphrodite. I'm happy for your enthusiasm with the ship, I'm keeping the polls open till Monday then we will see how the story plays out.
Alyssa Deliv- I'm glad that you feel important with my reply Lol. I'm just figuring out the replying to my reviews at the end of my updates. So this will continue to be a new addition to my writing. I agree that it would be interesting to see how it plays out if RegulusxHermione ship wins. But hopefully you'll enjoy the story with whichever ship it becomes.
Patronus(guest)- I wanted to do something that isn't seen much as a fanfic. As there are a lot of the time turner accidents and the possibility to go forward in time. I'm playing the no way back forward except living in the time to get back. I agree that the SiriusxHermione would be a slow burn as the boy does need to grow up some and she is new to the timeline. I apologize for the spelling errors; I am trying to catch them as they appear. I'm working on her being able to reflect to see what she can change with what she knows. I am grateful for your criticism and your review, also I enjoy seeing that you like the Greek I'm adding in to help the story along.
