Hello Loves!
So we are back to Hogwarts, and the mischief and chaos has begun again. Also this is a Regulus/Hermione ship fic. Even with Sirius being the outrages flirt that he is, it doesn't mean that he is the ship of the story. We may see more of Dumbledore in the next coming chapters of this story.
Enjoy the story as it unfolds before your eyes.
:)
A few days after the start of term Dite was asked to the Headmasters office. She wasn't sure if it was to see how she was settling or to ask about her dreams. She wasn't about to tell him about the other one that she chases an Otter to a pool to talk to the goddess Nix. That one she was still trying to sort out. But she could give him something else that may help. Now that she figured out that he might have created Horcrux's to stay alive, the prophecy that Professor Trelawney had predicted made a bit more sense to her. Sure Dite still believed that the woman is high on the incents she burned most of the time and that her lessons where horrible but the prophecy she created was one that was the key to the future. As she walked to the corridor that housed Dumbledore's office, she was lost in her own mind, with no awareness of her surroundings. She didn't notice that a certain dark haired boy had came into step with her, at least until he coughed to announce him self, causing her to jump and startle.
"Me tromaxate." Dite placed a hand to her chest, trying to slow her racing heart.
"Pardon me for startling you, Aphrodite." Regulus picked up her other hand and placed a kiss along the knuckles.
"Shouldn't you be heading to lunch? Wont those in Slytherin worry that the Black Prince isn't there?" She raised an eyebrow at him as a cover up at how her name affected her when he said it.
"I should, but I couldn't very well let the Gryffindor goddess walk alone now could I." He smirked.
"I can take care of myself you know Regulus." She smiled at him.
"I'm well aware that you and those friends of yours can take care of your selves. But indulge me, where are you heading if not to the Library or the Great Hall?" He spoke as the began to walk again.
"Dumbledore had asked to see me." She told him.
Dite didn't see any harm in telling him where she was going. She had read in the profit that Orion and Welburga Black had the custody of both Sirius and Regulus revoked and they where placed in the home of Alphrad Black the head of the family. She suspected that the near murder of Sirius had happened sooner they it had in her time line and Alphrad had averted his own death. The story also explained that if anything where to happen to the head of the Black Family that the boys if not of age they would be in the care of Dora Potter ne Black until they where of age. Sophia had explained that many took great offence if one tries to off an heir of the family and it was punishable in the eyes of the Wizardmount. Dite suspected that before it was never brought up as Alphrad had died and the family already had Regulus agreeing to everything.
"May I ask why the old man wishes to see you?" Regulus asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe to see how I've settled in to Hogwarts after last year, or any number of reasons." Dite tapped her nose in thought.
The tapping of her nose was something she picked up from Gideon since she met the man. He always seemed to do this when he is in thought. She picked up a few things from the twins as she lived with them. Lily pointed it out that she will wave something off like Fabian does or the nose tapping that Gideon does.
"I see, how was your summer?" He changed the subject from the elder wizard to a lighter conversation.
"It was fine, visited Greece with Alice and Lily. Speaking of Lily could you possibly speak to the other Slytherin about his Loitering outside the Gryffindor tower? I feel that James and Sirius will do something if they find him there again tonight." Dite asked as the stopped outside Dumbledore's gargoyle.
"You mean Snape?" He asked rolling his eyes, mostly at the thought of the older housemate.
"Yes, Lily is uncomfortable with the stalking he is doing trying to apologize for what he said last year. That's a reason why she spent half of the summer with me to avoid him." Dite explained.
Regulus folded his arms across his chest and held his chin as if in thought. Dite knew that if he was anything like his brother that he would possibly asked for something in return.
"I'll speak with him, if you join me tonight in the kitchens for desert just before curfew." He leaned towards her.
"Sure, that shouldn't be a problem." She said with out really thinking about it, she could always stop by there on her way from the library.
"Alright, I'll see you later then Aphrodite." Regulus placed a kiss on her cheek before walking away with his hands tucked into the pockets of his pants.
As she ascended the stairs, she shook her head trying to get the butterfly feeling to go away that settled in her stomach. Sure Regulus was just as good looking as his brother Sirius. But the deeper, rougher voice that Regulus had set him apart from his brother. Compared to Sirius, Regulus never openly flirted with ever bird that passed through the doors of Hogwarts. Dite believed that Sirius only flirted with her because it would either get a reaction from her or satisfy his own ego. Pushing all thoughts of Regulus and Sirius away, she steeled her nerves and opened the door to the office.
Dite found that Dumbledore wasn't alone, but Alistor Moody was with him. She wasn't sure why but this made her nervous.
"Aw Miss. Prewett, thank you for coming. Alistor is here as the second of the Order. I had shared with him that we had an Oracle among the student here." Dumbledore explained.
"Sir. I thought that you had told my Mana that it would be a secret for my own good?" She asked quietly
"I had, but with more and more attacks, I thought it was best to have one more in on the secret as a precaution if something would happen to myself or your parents." He looked her in the eye.
"I see she picked up her father's vigilance." Moody had spoken for the first time.
"Constant vigilance, it's important as I have dreams that can change things." Dite spoke softly.
"That's true girl, I'm glad to see that had rubbed off on them." He nodded.
As the conversation drew on, Dite learned that Dumbledore had come to the same conclusion that the Dark Lord had created a Horcrux if not more. They also asked if she had any other dreams. Dite spoke of the night that brought her to the past. Stating that she barley could see, as the dream was dark with a circular blue light floating there. That at the moment the words she heard where blurred. She wasn't ready to give them the prophecy yet. Dite was getting the strange feeling that Dumbledore would use this more if he had it sooner then he had in the other time line. Once the meeting was over Alistor explained that he hadn't seen the need to smother the girl with protection as of yet, if the information of her abilities had fallen into the wrong hands then it maybe needed. But at the moment she was housed in the safest place in Britain aside from the Royal palace in London, Hogwarts.
Dite left the office still feeling uneasy about it. Sure when she was younger in her other time she trusted the headmaster completely. But after the fiasco of having Umbridge as a teacher and how that turned out, she wasn't completely sure how much she trusted the man. Especially with the prophecy of the struggle between Harry and Tom Riddle.
The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches….
That first line Dite knew that it meant that some one would eventually stop the dark lord from destroying the Wizarding world.
Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies….
In her time there was two people she knew who where born at the end of July. They had both been her friends, one was the chosen on, the other had his parents tortured by Bellatrix Listrange ne Black, they where Harry Potter and Neville Longbottum. The sons of her now two best friends and the boys that watched her as if she where their little sister.
And the dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the dark lord knows not…
That was the next part of the riddle of the prophecy. A power the dark lord knows not? What did that mean? Was it an ancient power that no one knows? Could it be something that only Harry or Neville maybe born with? Dite knew that prophesies where nothing but riddles to be solved.
And either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives.
Dite would have to really research over the next two years to figure out what the last half of the prophecy meant, if she was to change how things turn out in the Future. To give Harry a family that will be there for him and not one that would use him as their personal slave or butler as his Aunt and Uncle had done. To be able to save the others from their fates. Surely that was what her dream of the pool meant.
