*************Hello Loves!************
I am so happy that many have been enjoying this story. I've gotten a lot of great comments and feedback to this story and it's my first one of this time travel Genre. I will also tell you all my Fav snack and drink while I write, I usually drink tea with Honey as a sweetener and if any one has ever been to Ikea and had those cookies that are Hazelnut chocolate filled, that is usually what I munch on with my tea. As to the Bata, I have someone who had offered, I'm just waiting for their response. So enjoy this next chapter :)
The Easter Holidays started out fairly simple and calm. Alice was staying with the Prewetts as her parents where going away for the break and the girls wanted to revise for OWLs over the break. Lily was going to join them at the tail end of the two weeks as well. Sophia had spent the first afternoon chatting with them seeing as Fabian and Gideon hadn't the thought of telling her about the Black Boy purchasing her books when they visited over a Hogsmead weekend. Alice even went on to tell Dite's mana about the scarf, hat and gloves set that he sent her 'no strings attached'. Which only fueled the older witches giddiness of having a daughter around to tease. Especially when she got to ask Baba's about the weekend that they said was uneventful. Both botching when she asked about the books that where gifted to their daughter by a wizard. This sent the teens into fits of giggles at the dinner table as the men tried to back peddle out of the small grave they dug themselves by not giving her any information. The next couple of days in the morning the girls would revise their studies, around early afternoon Sophi would get them out of the house either to go shopping for Baklava ingredients, or to a beach on the coast to relax. She told both girls that is was never good for them to keep their arketa noses in the books, they needed to give their brains time to rest as well. So they where pulled all over the place in the afternoon.
Everything seemed to be fine with their friends who every couple of days would send a letter to them asking how revising was going, a question about something they didn't understand, or something or other. The girls where asleep when they where being woken up by Sophia, who was wearing a worried look on her face.
"Mana?" Dite asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Your friend Remus is here." She said leaving the girls to get up.
They grabbed robes and walked down the stairs. They found an upset pair of twins, a worried Sophia and a Remus, who looked to be in shock.
"Remus what happened?" Dite became alert right away.
"Sirius, it's Sirius." He spoke trying to calm himself.
"What's wrong with Sirius?" Alice stepped forward.
"I was sent to get you too." He could be described as a zombie or he was having an extreme case of traumatic shock.
The girls looked at each other and fallowed him through the flu, to the Potter residence. Upon seeing Lady Potter, Dite could see where James and Harry got their soft cheekbone structure. Dora Potter n' Black was a regal woman with a soft look to her, the trade mark Black hair from the Black family made her stand out with her light skin tone. She may have stood 5'5" with out shoes on. She looked at the three teens and paled a bit more as she looked to the stairs that lead up to the higher floors of the estate.
"Remus, what happened?" Dite asked becoming worried.
"What happened is my crazed mother tried to kill him." A voice floated down the stairs.
Both Dite and Alice looked to see Regulus descending the staircase towards them. Dite knew that Sirius had almost been killed the night that he was blasted off the family tree by the crazed madwomen. Walburga Black was living proof of what happens when a family inbreeds one to many times, so in Bellatrix Black as well. From what Dite had heard at Hogwarts, it was a good thing the witch had graduated last year, or this year might be torture for her.
"Why?" Dite asked quietly.
"Because he refused to met the Dark Lord, the man who has so many fouled." Regulus explained.
Not that she could see him better, Regulus had blood on him. His white shirt was spotted in the red bodily liquid. His hands even looked to be a bit stained with blood as well.
"She is caught up in the idea of mudbloods being nothing but dirt." He spat.
"And you?" She asked.
"They are witches and wizards regardless of birth." He looked out the window at the black sky.
Before anyone could speak, the flu lit up, and a man that the girls didn't recognize came through. He also had jet-black hair and his eyes where molted silver, and they could tell that he was ready to murder someone. He nodded to Lady Potter, who gave him a weak smile. When his gaze landed on Regulus, it seemed to harden further.
"Regulus, what the Bloody Hell happened?" He grinded out, like he was trying to hold his anger in.
"Uncle Alphrad, she tried to kill him." Regulus bowed to the man who was his Uncle.
"Why would she try to kill my Heir?" He asked.
"He refused to met someone mother wanted him to met, a man who lead a group of those who believed what she spews out at us about muggles and muggle-born." Regulus explained still bowed at the waist to his Uncle and head of house.
Dite learned over the summer that some houses held their members to the old ways, such as bowing to those who where the head of the Noble house until they are asked to lift their heads.
"Regulus, lift your head my boy, look me in the eye." Alphrad asked kindly, but still holding his anger.
"She used the Cruciatus curse on him and laughed while he withered in pain. Then she began to take lashes out of him after I'm not sure how many of those curses she held him under." Regulus spoke; Dite could see the fear he held for the woman who was his mother.
"Where was your father though all this?" Alphrad asked.
"Standing next to her, not saying anything against it. After they left for a night out, taking his wand and locking his room." Regulus looked over at the girls.
Dite suspected that Sirius protected his brother from many things in the past that their mother had put them through. Which would explain how Sirius looked after Azkaban, and why he would drink so much before going to bed. The alcohol was for the nightmares of living in the house that was the Headquarters in her past. Now she knew she needed to change all of what happens in the future. Keep James and Lily alive to raise Harry and keep him from his abusive Aunt and Uncle, give Sirius a chance to live life then suffer for something he never did, change Peter from betraying those who where his friends. Help Remus by making sure those who loved and cared for him stay alive.
"I see, so she deliberately tried to dispose of the first heir of the House of Black." He nodded heading towards the stairs to the room that Sirius was being healed in.
"Come along dearies, let's have some hot chocolate." Lady Potter gave them all a small smile, trying to change the mood from what it was.
"Lady Potter, is Sirius going to be alright?" Dite asked quietly.
"He'll be fit as rain once he's rested and healed all up. It was a good thing Regulus and that house elf brought him here." She said as they walked into the kitchen. Upon entering, Dite saw a small house elf that had a black flower headband around her head.
"Don't be alarmed, Belly here is well cared for here." Lady Potter said, she must have seen the emotion pass over Dite's face.
The sat in silence until James came in, Belly placing a mug infront of the teen. It was a few minutes before he said a word.
"He'll be fine, just have tremors that will go away soon with the potion. Father and Lord Black where discussing what action could be taken since Sirius is an heir." James spoke.
Dite never knew that a head of house could take action against those who dared to harm an heir or to get rid of them if they weren't a squid at birth. She learned from a drunk Sirius one night at headquarters that his Uncle had passed before he could really take action against his mother for what she had done. He also told her that he woke up in St. Margo's to the Potters the next morning. That was before he threw the empty bottle at the wall that held the family tree on it. She remembered what he told her that night as well;
'If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.'
Dite had thought back to anytime she had been with Lily and Regulus had greeted the both of them as though they where normal witches. He never slandered Lily at all in public at least, but that didn't mean that he didn't alone or in the company of the other Slytherins. Or maybe her being in this time had changed what happens between the Black brothers. Sure they fought a couple months about her. This was still very confusing to her. A pecking noise alerted them all of an owl with a letter was outside. James got up and opened the window letting the owl in.
"It's from Lily, she can come tomorrow morning, and will that be alright Regulus?" James looked at the other Black questionably.
"That's fine, she doesn't bother me." Regulus nodded.
"Are you going home Regulus?" Alphrad asked walking in with Lord Potter, who looked to be an older version of James and Harry, which made Dite wonder how the Potters could age so well when others aged horrible.
"You Bloody Joking right?" Regulus asked.
"No need for cursing young man." Lady Potter spoke crossly at the boy.
"No I would rather be dead then step foot into the dreaded house again." He looked right at Dite.
"I see, well the Aurar's would need to speak to you tomorrow." Alphrad shook his head.
She could guess what was going through the mans head at the moment. The headache of turning in family that has been abusing children weights heavily on one's mind. Sirius had said that his favorite Uncle could never prove what his mother had done till he woke up in the Hospital. Dite knew that he had a terrible childhood, probably worse then Harry. Sure Harry was abused and mistreated by his only family; But not to the extent of Sirius.
"I'll have a room made for you, would you girls like to stay? It's a bit late to flu home as you both look like you'll fall asleep before landing on your feet." Lady Potter spoke.
Dite looked over at Alice through partly closed eyes and saw the girl was nodding off, before her head jerked back up her eyes opening.
"That would be lovely, I just need to let my Mana and Babas know." She said.
"No need Miss. Prewett, I'll let them know." Lord Potter silently conjured a patroness and sent a message to the Prewetts that their daughter and friend will sleep here.
Before the girls headed up behind Lady Potter Dite caught Regulus talking to his Uncle;
"What can the old bat do? Blast the both of us off the family tree?"
As Dite fell into slumber, her mind was making lists of what she needed to do. She needed to write Dumbledore about the Horcrux or Horcrux's, become better friends with Peter, maybe capture a true Medusa and send it to the wrenched Welburga Black, get James and Lily together, and figuring out the confusing Regulus Black, among other things. But first she needed sleep and then go home to get clothes for herself and Alice for the next day.
