It was a few weeks before the start of the term when Dite, Lily and Alice where waiting for the boys to arrive. Dite had asked if they could use the Greece villa to get away from everything. Dumbledore had returned at least three times to discus the safe house Idea with her parents, with each time Sophia grew angrier then a Scylla. One time Dite suggested actually taking the Headmaster to meet a Scylla after the last time he showed when she was there. Honestly she had no clue how many times the man had showed up to speak to Fabian, Gideon and Sophia. Dite still watched as they continued to leave for the Order Meetings and she noticed each time that Sophia returned angry. Dite had a feeling that Dumbledore will request more meetings with her once school began, to see her dreams. She didn't want him to find the Goddess dreams or the memories of her past, if that happened he may never let her live her life in this time. The Headmaster she knew preserved the time line for the greater good. Which is why Sophia thought it was a good cover with the Oracle story. It made giving him information easy, but it made more issues with Dumbledore and his quest for power. In her past she heard rumors that he seeked power and that was how his sister passed away, but that was from a bar maid at one of the older pubs in Hogsmead. Sometimes bar maidens liked to gossip about what they hear with the passing wizards in their travels.
Lily was sitting on the sofa with Alice using her lap as a pillow, Frank was gushing over Sophia's cooking asking for hints. Who knew that the male Gryffindor enjoyed cooking so much, it was the same enthusiasm that Neville had for Herbology in her past. She gave a soft smile as she watched Frank talk with his hands and arms as Sophia laughed at the enthusiasm. Frank learned that Alice had found love for Baklava and refused to teach the male on principal that Sophia had taught her. It will be an interesting week with the boys, and yes she had invited Peter as a way to keep an eye on him. Sure Gideon offered to stay with everyone so that there was an adult in charge, and Sophia hired a house elf( that was being paid 3 gallions a day) to stay at the villa. The parents trusted the girls and Remus to be fine alone at the villa, but not the others.
"Oi! Prongs get your arse out of my face!" Sirius's voice rang loud from the Flu welcome room of the estate.
'Think of the devils and they shall appear.' Dite thought rolling her eyes.
"I'm trying to mate, but I have a Moony on top of me." James sounded apologetic.
"How are you all passing your classes when you are all morons?" Regulus sighed as if he just Flued in to see the morons piled infront of the Flu as if they fell threw the fire place.
The three girls all looked up to catch each others eye's, they all rolled their eyes and smirked. Dite informed the girls that Author had messed with the flu and if you follow to quickly behind the other person they land in a pile or a doggy pile according to Lily. Frank shook his head and walked to greet the boys that where untangling them selves.
"You all never changed, well since the girls haven't moved from their spots, I guess I'll greet you morons." The girls chuckled at Franks greeting.
They knew that Frank didn't mean anything by his witty greeting about the girls not moving. He had tried to get them to move earlier until Sophia called him over to help her with the dishes from the morning breakfast.
"Well don't you have a pretty face, Frankie." They heard Sirius say sarcastically.
"I know I have a pretty face Siri no need to be jealous of it." Frank shot back.
"Hi Frank." The girls heard the squeaky vice of Peter greet Frank.
"Hello Pettigrew." The sound of laughter disappeared from Franks voice as he greeted Peter.
"So where are our favorite ladies of Gryffindor and our lovely lady of Slytherin?" Sirius asked.
He liked to call Sophia Lady Slytherin, and it caused her to laugh and call him green and inexperienced or that he was in denial. The girls all knew what he was in denial about, it was completely obvious. Sure even in her past, Dite knew that Remus swung both ways, but Sirius only swung one way and he even told Harry, Ron and herself that he was in denial until nearly the end of his 7th year. Sure Sirius pride himself on being a ladies man, but he was also a mans, man. Dite couldn't wait till he figured it out, and then the look he'll give the girls will be hilarious.
"All four of our ladies are in the living area, and believe it or not they are all reading," Frank seemed to jokingly sneer at the word reading, causing the girls to break down in giggles.
"Aww my Aphrodite!" Sirius threw his arms around her shoulders as she giggled.
"Cant you act like a normal human being and not the dog we all know you are?" Regulus asked as he placed a kiss on her cheek that was opened.
"Well I think its cute how our Dite has tamed the Black brothers." James laughed at the whole interaction.
"Well I don't think I've been able to tame them, they still act like dogs." Dite laughed at them.
With all the laughter filling the house, it drew the twins from their home study and away from the work they where busying themselves with. They walked in to see Dite throwing a pillow at Sirius, who got smacked right in the face with said pillow. This started a small pillow fight in the living room. When Dite and Lily saw the two of them, they dived behind the twins for cover. As soon as Sirius, James, Frank, Peter and Remus threw their pillows to hit the two girls, the pillow hit the Aura's instead of the two girls. The boys froze as they saw who all the pillows hit, they watched as they fell to the ground in a heap. Everyone watched as the twins looked at each other, and smirked. Soon all the pillows in the living room levitated and sped towards the boys, colliding with them. Soon they where covered in pillows and the girls where laughing holding their sides as each of the boys heads peeked up from under all the pillows.
"Well now that we have your attention boys, the girls, and Frank know the rules. Gideon will be there as the responsible adult as most of you all are of age. There is a room for all you boys to share, and a room the girls will share." Fab began his explanation of the rules.
"Yes I'll be there to monitor you all. Also the villa is in a muggle area, so no noticeable magic around the villa. I do not mind if you all decide to lay by the pool and relax, nor do I mind if you want to explore the area either, but please don't show off much." Gid sighed.
Little do the others know, but the villa was also set up with Blood wards to protect the people inside the villa, just like the estate here. It felt weird when someone passed through the flu or apperated to the grounds. It was like something crawling under her skin. Her skin crawled more then normal when Dumbledore passed through the wards, it was like she could feel the intent that he had to gain the information that she kept from him and it worried her. She told Lily about it and explained that she wanted to try and not be alone with Dumbledore at any moment this next term.
Once Sophia made sure that the group will be fine and had everything they left the estate. The Elf came and collected the luggage that the group had. James before he left spoke to the twins and gave them an envelope that Dite suspected was from his father. Remus stood next to the girls as the others stood infront of them in shock at the view of the villa. Dite agreed that it was amazing and beautiful. Sure it was warmer then it was in England but the bright blue water sparkled under the afternoon sun. She could see the fishing boats that had left that morning where slowly heading in for the day with their catch. She thought of taking the girls to go collect fresh fish from the market in the morning. The breeze was nice under the hot sun, cooling of the body.
"This is Bloody Amazing Dite." James turned to the girls and Remus.
"Yes it is, wonderful place to relax." She agreed.
"Would's Miss likes Opal's tos starts thes afternoons tea?" The house elf Opal came out on the patio of the villa.
"Yes Opal, as the girls and I go change. I would like to enjoy the tea out here as well." Dite smiled at the elf.
"Ofs courses Miss." Opal spoke before disapperated to the kitchen.
By the time the girls had changed the boys had jumped in the pool, relaxing. When the elf came with the tea was when the girls where noticed.
"Um, what are you three wearing?" Peter asked blushing bright red.
The girls had swimsuits on, Lily found a nice yellow high waisted two piece and a sunflower over lay, Alice a purple one piece and a wrap skirt around her waist to cover her legs, and Dite had a blue swimsuit that had a silver ring at the middle of her chest and it could be considered a once piece but it showed as much skin as Lily's swimsuit. The girls looked at each other and giggled at the boys expressions.
"Peter, they are swimsuits." Lily rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Peter isn't used to seeing skin, ladies." Sirius grinned as he swam up to the edge of the pool.
"We aren't showing that much skin Black." Alice smirked at him.
"I'm not complaining here Greengrass, you ladies are all gorgeous in your swimsuits." Sirius smiled at them.
The first day of their trip away they spent in or by the pool with Gideon lounging in one of the shaded chairs close by. At one point, Sirius, Frank and James grabbed the girls and jumped in the water. That started a water fight and they had gotten the super visioning adult in the pool when Sirius decided to create a wave with a little magic. Soon even the parental was relaxing and enjoying the trip with the teens. Dite knew that in her past that she never got to relax much as she should have during her summers, which she spent a lot of her time worrying about Harry and how his summer was. Then worrying about her parents when she left them to stay away from them to protect them. Now she was having a normal summer and all she had to worry about was Dumbledore and his meddling was along with his thirst for power.
Later that night while Dite slept, in her dream she returned to the pool of the Goddess. She spoke about the good that Dite was doing at the moment. The riddles where tiring, but Dite expected that this was how this goddess was. Soon the goddess asked her to step into the pool and look into the depths of it. When Dite had, she saw Tom Riddle kill his muggle father and grandfather which he created the Diary, then he killed his mothers brother and framed the Father who abused his mother. Dite watched as he performed a spell on his ring he wore in the pool, she watched as a light green light surrounded both him and the ring. In her eyes it looked to be the creation of another Horcrux. She watched as he created the next Horcrux's. One looked to be a cup, another a locket of some sort, a diadem. When she pulled her eyes away from the water, she looked at the goddess in horror.
'The balance between life and death is to be unbalanced with the creation of those that hold a soul. With this the Moirar see it as a slight against ones fate of life.' The goddess told her as the Moirar sprites danced around both the goddess and her.
"This means that he killed more then anyone knew." Dite spoke with a slight shake to her voice.
'This is true, he killed to stay as he is, but the more he kills the less human he is. He loses his grip on the reality and the after life.'
"What am I to do?" Dite whispered.
'His soul is incomplete, so the Moirar cant keep his string of life whole for when his destined time comes.'
"How do you fix a soul that's been ripped apart?" Dite looked at the Goddess.
'As simple as it is to rip something apart, its harder to replace a ripped item. One can not simply join a soul that's been torn in pieces, but finding a way to mend the torn soul is as simple as throwing something out into the ocean.'
With the last riddle of the dream, Dite came flying off her pillow, drench in sweat, her breath heavy as if she ran a marathon in her sleep. She pinched the bridge of her nose as if she was releasing the pressure she felt in her mind. The goddess was always full of riddles, but that was the first time she ever saw something in the pool. If the images in the pool where to be correct, the Dark Lord had created 5 Horcrux's since the man left Hogwarts. If that was true then her whole mission to change the past just became 5 times harder. Sure she now knew how the mad man came back to life but now she knew how mad the man was. She looked over at the other beds in her room, both Alice and Lily where both fast asleep.
Dite got up out of bed, casting a silencing spell on her feet as to not wake the others up. She made her way to the kitchen to get a cup of water. Upon entering she found her father sitting there eating something. She walked around and found he had gotten a bowl of her mana's homemade chocolate ice cream.
"Pet, why are you up at this hour?" He asked as he eyed her.
"Bad dream baba." She grabbed a bowl and spoon from the cupboard.
"Another Goddess dream?" He asked spooning a bit of ice cream into his mouth.
"Yes, each dream never answers my questions, and I end up with more and more riddles." Dite sighed sitting across from him.
"Well maybe this goddess believes you can solve them." He looked at her.
"I hope so baba." She gave a soft smile before spooning herself some ice cream.
