As the summer Holiday progressed Dite noticed a few things, like her Baba's where leaving and coming at different times. Sophia played it off as they're schedules where crazy at the moment. But Dite knew that it was due to the order, and Dumbledore asking them to go on his missions. Missions that could get them killed, even Author was going out late at night and returning early in the morning, even with a pregnant Molly at home. And when the Order held their meetings at Prewett Estate Dite and Lily where told to go off to hang with the boys. Soon Dite figured out Fred and George's ease dropping spell that the placed on the ears that they used at the order meetings during the summer in her past. So the next time that the meeting was held at her home, she and Lily planned to ease drop on the meeting.
"Di are you sure that we should be doing this?" Lily asked as Dite had charmed to flowers by the room that the meeting be held in with the ease dropping charm.
"It will be fine, no one will know Lil." Dite reassured her as they walked to back to her room.
"But they wont want us to know what they are talking about." Lily said sitting on the bed.
"They wouldn't, but I want to know what it happening." Dite casted the other end of the charm on a book she placed between the two of them.
Ever since Lily came to live with them, it has been almost like when she would spend the end of her summer with the Weasley's and stay in Ginny's room away from her brothers. They both spent time with Sophia and shopped, as it was a mana's job to show them how to shop as Sophia explained. The boys had come over a few times to visit or they went to visit them. Alice invited them over to her home on the coast of Dover hidden from muggles. So they spent time watching the waves and talked about the men in their lives. Dite and Alice finally got Lily to admit that she was a bit attracted to James Potter, which the two already knew about the attraction between the two of them. Sirius kept on asking about what he was in denial about, the girls would giggle and say nothing. Which drove the wizard up a wall to the point that he would nearly pull his hair out. James would laugh, as Dite knew he had a feeling he knew what the girls where keeping from the other buy.
"Good evening everyone." The girls herd Dumbledore speak drawing their attention, they heard everyone's reply, they could make out Author and Molly, Lord and Lady Potter, Dite's father's and mother, Alistor, even Lord Black, there where others that they couldn't make out present as well.
"Tonight I would like to hear about your last mission Fabian and Gideon. I would also like to discuses something about the oracle as well." Dumbledore started.
Lily and Dite looked at each other wide-eyed, what could he need to speak about pertaining to Dite and her abilities. They cuddled closer to the book and listened. The heard about the investigation of the homes that dark magic was used in where muggles lived. It was explained that even though traces of dark magic was detected the muggles where unharmed or couldn't remember what happened. Then the girls heard that many of the homes where abandoned too, no signs of anyone living there. Fabian explained that they had ran into dark wizards and managed to get away with minor cuts. Sophia told the order that she heard that the Dark Lord was looking at wizard families over seas. That even the week that she took the girls to Greece, they're where Death Eaters in the Wizard shopping district in Crete. She kept the girls away from them but she could tell that they where speaking to a few of the Greek purebloods in the area. Then there was the issue with Malfoy's little gift at Christmas that means that Dite might be a target just because she was in the way.
"I believe that the girl should be sent to a safe house where only a few know where she is." Dumbledore soon stated to the group.
"I will not let you hide away my daughter Dumbledore." Sophia's voice rose above the others.
"It's for the protection and greater good of the girl." He seemed to explain.
"She is safe behind the wards of this estate." Sophia hissed at him.
"I understand that this estate has many wards to protect those inside, but they can still get to her through the owl post. I believe that Ms. Aphrodite Prewett would be safer under the watch of another." The girls heard Dumbledore say, the Professor sounded as though he was board.
"No, she is safe here Albus, I know about your brand of TO KOINO KALO. Dite is my daughter and until I can no longer protect her, she will stay here. You just want her closer to see her dreams as she has strong shields." Sophia sneered.
"Mrs. Prewett, I understand but I can project her as much as you can here." Dumbledore spoke sounding annoyed.
"O parakalo, xero oit sto parelthon echete prospathisei na spasete ta spitia tis." The girls heard Sophia's Greek sounded spiteful.
"In English please." Dumbledore's drawl came through the book.
"I said; Oh please, I know that you have tried to break her shields in the past." Sophia spat sounding even more spiteful and angry the more this conversation continued.
"I'm not sure what you insinuating Sophia."
It was true that a few times during dinner in the great hall, that she felt Dumbledore's presence in her mind, trying to chip at her shields. As though he thought that Dite wouldn't feel the presence in her mind. Dite had told her mother after one time in particular as it left her with a headache that she went to Madam Pumfry afterwards. Sophia was angrier then a Scylla, an Greek magical creature that came from the stories that Homer had written.
"What I am insinuating is that you have been trying to uncover more of Dite's dreams for your own greed Albus. She can scene when someone enters her mind and takes a crack at her shields."
"I can reassure you Sophia, that its all for the greater good of our world. An Oracle hasn't been discovered for centuries."
"That doesn't mean you invade a young women's mind just because she is the first Oracle in centuries!"
"Sophia, Lov, calm down please." The girls heard Fabian speak trying to calm down Dite's Mana.
"No Fabian! I will not! I trusted this man with Dite's ability! Now he wants to take her away and try to break her shields to see if she was keeping anything from him!" Sophia seethed.
"I meant nothing of the sort Sophia, only to protect the girl." Dumbledore spoke once again.
Just as Sophia was about to snap back at the Order's leader, Alistor decided that they should end the meeting before the Greek born witch decided to throw a few curses that they didn't know the counter to flew at their leader for even suggesting taking her daughter from her home or even trying to get past said daughters shields. Alistor knew that Sophia was a powerful witch, much is said as she was recruited for the Department of Mysteries as an Unspeakable right out of Hogwarts. Even Dite knew that her Mana was talented and powerful to be recruited as an Unspeakable. But hearing Alistor call an end to the meeting and Gideon suggesting that the others follow Alistor's example. Sophia told Dumbledore they would still participate in the Order and his missions, but the Estate was off limits to him and the Order meetings until he pulled his head out of his gaidaros or arse when she had to translate for those who didn't understand Greek. Even Molly was upset that the old Professor that many respected tried to infiltrate a young women's mind and break her shields. Molly was about 5 months pregnant with William Weasley or Bill that Dite planned to call him as he preferred the nickname to his given name any day of the week in her past. Before Dite and Lily left her room she dispelled the charm on the book which dispelled the charm on the flowered next to the room. Sure what Dite didn't explain to Lily before was that she enhanced the ease dropping charm with an audio enhancing charm that she figured out. Dispelling one side of the charm dispels the whole charm.
When the girls came down to the dinning area, Sophia was still screaming mad about what Dumbledore had suggested. She had a few choice words and names that she called the older wizard. Molly just sat down and nodded her agreement and trying to keep her blood pressure and magic pressure down for the baby. Both girls sat down on the sofa and watched the adults try to calm down a Scylla. It was nearly as bad as when the girls watched Fabian and Gideon passé the living area just as angry when they had received a letter from Regulus after they returned home from school requesting to court their daughter. It was completely hysterical to the girls as they passé and finished each others sentience's about how the boy wasn't good enough for their daughter or that she wasn't old enough to court. The girls just giggled at the twins and in that instance it reminded Dite of the twins and how they acted when it came to Ginny.
"Lov, come on, calm down. The old man doesn't know what he is talking about." Fab tried to reason with her.
"No, he wanted to take our daughter away from us just because she has dreams." Sophia waved him off.
"I know we where there Soph, but we wont let that happen." Gideon spoke harshly.
Gideon was known to be the harsher of the twins, almost like Fred when someone really pissed him off. Dumbledore must have pissed him off more then any one had knew. Gideon's eyes where a dark blue compared to the brightness they shown normally. Everyone turned to him and watched him, he was leaning against the wall and his arms crossed his chest. It was as intimidating as it wasn't.
"How?" Sophia asked.
"Well this estate is protected my many wards except Blood and the Fidelius charm." He looked at them.
"Gideon! Blood Magic is dark magic!" Molly exclaimed.
"Aunt Molly, Blood magic or even Blood wards aren't really dark magic, just dark wizards chose to use it. Think about it, any light magic can be considered dark with the right intent behind it. For example, the use of Lumos bright enough came possibly blind the victume of the charm, now is the charm dark or a light charm when its used to harm another?" Dite spoke up.
"She is right Molly. We would only use the blood wards on the estate to protect those in the home. We would write Lily, yourself, Author into the wards. Only Myself, Fab, Sophia and Dite will feel those who aren't written into the wards pass. We can also place wards against those who want to cause harm to those who live here and against those with the dark mark to cause a burn with boils to appear on the skin." Gideon explained.
"Are you sure?" Sophia asked looking at him.
"I'm sure, I don't want to leave this to chance, fist Dite's dreams, then the gift from a death eater, now Dumbledore wants to see what she is hiding. I may respect the Professor, but I am not a big fan of his 'For the Greater Good' thinking. Sure at first when we told him about the dreams I thought it was for the best but now, I would watch what you show him Dite." Gideon pushed off the wall and waved Fabian to fallow.
"Don't worry my girls, this place will be protected and safe for you two." Fabian roughed Lily and Dite's hair up a bit before fallowing his brother.
"Sophia, you should go stop them." Molly watched her brothers leave in horror.
"I wont Molly, they are right, it will e safer this way." Sophia spoke calmly as she walked to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
'What's with the yelling?'
Dite smirked at the voice that spoke to her mind, about a week ago Lyos began to mind speak with her just like the Grim legions spoke of them doing. His voice was smooth and calming when she woke from a dream and he helped her when they went to Diagon to visit with the boys. Lyos didn't like Peter and constantly asked if he could eat the rat. Dite would chuckle and tell the grim that he couldn't eat the rat yet. Lyos had a bit of a darker mind then she did but it proved to be interesting.
'The headmaster wanted me to be placed where he could easily get to me to see my dreams. Mana and Baba's didn't like that.'
Dite spoke back with her explanation of the yelling, as soon as she explained the Grim appeared next to her. Causing Molly to jump some, Author even looked a bit amazed at the creature.
"Di, what is this little creature?" Molly asked.
"Oh, he normally stays upstairs when there are others visiting. Aunt Molly, Uncle Author, this is my familiar Grim, Lyos. He can appear where ever I am at his will." Dite explained as Lyos settled in her lap.
"An interesting little creature there Di, had your Professor of Magical Creatures shown interest in him?" Author asked with a smile.
"Oh he had the first day the creature fallowed her around the castle!" Lily spoke for her.
Lily was right, the professor was very interested, more so that he asked her head of house to allow her to excuse Dite from her classes so that he could have a class on the creature. That day was interesting as 3rd years thought Lyos was cute, 4th, 5th, and 6th year student showed some interest, while the 7th years just listened to the lecture that day. After giving the story of the day she was excused from class to Author, who thought it was a funny story. The rest of the evening the conversation turned to Molly and her pregnancy, Author asked Lily about some Muggle contraption, Sophia announced dinner, it seemed as though the Order meeting never happened by dinner time. It still bothered Dite that Dumbledore wanted her to be kept close to him so he could obtain her dreams easily. Sure she was keeping things from him and those things needed to be given at the right time. She kept the dreams of the goddess from him due to the fact that it had nothing to do with the information she had already given him. From the information that se had given it must have made him want to know more. That night after everyone slept, she felt that Lyos stayed awake waiting for something to happen, or to come. It was like the closer that she and Lyos became the stronger the creatures own magic became, which would be helpful in the war to come. Maybe with his help, Dite might be able to keep Lily and James alive to be there for Harry.
Hello Loves:)
Sorry for the time between updates, life has gotten hectic lately. I home that you all love the creature Lyos. Also expect a few more updates to come this week. Enjoy !
Ayuzachan; Of course Lyos asks if he can eat the rats or rat in Peters case. The boy does have a bit of work to do to earn the trust of those he hurt back. I enjoyed writing the chapters with Remus in them. I'm glade that you have enjoyed this story so much.:)
