As winter turns to spring, many things have come to pass that have been changed. Sirius and Regulus both are under the care of their Uncle. Peter, who was under a debt owed to the Malfoy family was now indebted to the Potter family. Regulus, she believed wouldn't die now that she was sent back in time and had changed some of what is to happen. Sophia decided to not go back to Dumbledore about any of Dite's past or the new dreams she had after the old fool decided to try to invade her mind. Fabien and Gideon have survived the raid they participated in over the Holidays. Remus had won the bet that Lily and James would be together by the beginning of the new year, where Sirius and Peter betted that they would be a over lovey couple by the Easter break. Sirius spent the next couple days tearing the mickey out of James for how Dite had found both he and Lily New Years Day. It was the day before the teens returned to Hogwarts that Dite's baba's returned home. Gid wasn't impressed that Dite accepted the ear cuff from Regulus, went on grumbling that she was to good for the Black family. Fab, even gave them his view on the matter and Sophie was pleased that her daughter had such a catch interested in her.
As Dite walked through the slightly damp village that surrounded the castle the Saturday before the Easter Holidays. She had been spending many hours with Lily and the Marauders in the library studying for N.W.E.T.S that would take place 6 weeks after the break. She was sure that she would pass with flying colors, but she stressed about Peter who was rubbish at studying for long periods of time. Sirius didn't help with that as the boy or young man couldn't sit still long either. Dite had to result to threating to charm his pants to constrict to his body every time he began to stand up to leave. This seemed to cause Sirius to think before he moved, knowing that she would actually fallow threw with her threat. The chill in the air was a bit warmer then the last time she was in the village before the Christmas holidays. Regulus was serving a detention that day with the other boys, as he was pulled in to a prank with the boys and where caught by Professor Flickwick after Peeves saw them, and that was being served with Professor Slughorn scrubbing the floor of the potions room after the Firsties exploded the latest potion they where working on. Lily was with Professor McGonagall going over things for transfiguration, and Alice was on a date with Frank. Dite never knew how close she would have became to those who she either heard of or met as Hermione when she was thrown back to this time. But now she wouldn't change it for anything.
Walking into the small bookshop in the village, she nodded to the owner who gave her a gentle smile as she headed for the charms section of the store. After speaking with Professor McGonagall on a few options she had for when she finished school, she came to the conclusion that she would try for a curse breaker. So ever since the conversation she had been reading books on charms and curses. She found that the Egyptian wizarding elite place many charms and curses on their tombs to keep the muggles or in Arabic; La Sihr from raiding their riches that they had buried with their mummified remains. The Egyptian's weren't the only community to place charms on the graveyards of the wizarding elite, the Nordic's or the Vikings had placed charms and spread rumors of ghouls causing those Ingen Magi to loose their minds with massive illusions of things that where only real in their minds.
It was fascinating to her, and wondered why she as Hermione wanted a desk job at the Ministry, even if it was to help the creatures that where being oppressed by the purebloods and those who where closed minded.
"Lypamai pou den ennoousa na se perpatiso." Dite spoke after bumping into someone while she was lost in her thoughts.
"Not to worry my dear, I've been told you are an interesting young women and have often bumping into those unsuspecting persons" A voice deep and Silky drifted into her ears.
Looking up from the ground she locked eyes with a man who had deep green eyes. Something about those eyes caused her the reflexively shiver even if she had placed a warming charm on her cloak before leaving the security of the castle alone. She noted that the man in question had black hair that was neatly cut, he stood tall and looked at her as though she was a mouse caught in a snake pit. That was when she felt someone trying to gently push into her mind to read her thoughts. Remembering that Harry had explained that Tom Riddle was a natural at Lagitanency, she realized just who she had bumped into on this walk through the village. Tom Riddle, The Dark Lord, Lord Voldimort was standing right infront of her watching her since she completely blocked entry to her mind. Just as she stepped away from him did Lyos appear in-between them growling at him.
"Yes, I heard that a young witch had a Grimm as her familiar at the castle. I see that today has blessed me with meeting the child from Greece." Tom spoke to her as he lifted an eye brow at Lyos.
"I'm sorry Sir. But I must be going, I'm due to meet someone." She spoke hoping that he wouldn't push her to stay in his presence.
"I see, but you are a fascinating child, the daughter of a Greek noble line and that of a Noble line of Britain. The same child that has a Grimm as well. It's said that Grimm's only choose those who are Highly intelligent and have a connection to the gods. So do you Ms. Aphrodite Prewett have a rare gift of the gods?" He hummed as he reached and grabbed hold of her chin.
She saw nothing but coldness in his eyes, his fingers where even cold, like that of a cold blooded creature or a snake waiting to attack. He searched her eyes, tapping on her shields as Lyos's growl grew louder, warning Mr. Riddle that he will attack if she wasn't realized.
"I'm sorry Sir., but I'm not sure what you are speaking of. Yes my Mother is from a Greek Pureblood line and my Fathers from on of the scared 28 bloodlines but as far as this gift you speak of, I have no clue." She spoke calmly, hoping that he would believe her.
"Pity, but I can see why the Black Heir is so intrigued by you. You are a rare beauty." Tom spoke letting go of her chin roughly almost causing her to loose her balance.
As she calmed Lyos down, Dite watched as Tom Riddle had walked away from them. That's when she noticed that he immobilized the whole village, almost like he stopped time to speak to her. Dite was slightly glade that he hadn't done anything other then grab her chin to look into her eyes. She knew that Tom Riddle was not someone to mess with, or keep secrets from. But knowing that he has been told about her and her unique familiar was alarming. Was it widely know that Grimm's protected those linked to the Oracle's? Could he look into Lyos's mind? What would have happened if she hadn't blocked her mind completely?
As she and Lyos turned back to head back to the Castle, her trip alone ruined by the meeting of the one person she hoped to avoid indefinitely. She had hopped that she could avoid The Dark Lord until she destroyed his separated pieces of his soul. But know he was aware of her Familiar and of the possible fact that she may have lied about her gift of the gods. She hurried back to the tower to write a letter to her parents to warn them.

With her letter quickly written in Greek, and spelled to only open with her mana's tough, she ran to the owlery. Nearly tripping at the top of the stairs as she entered the small space that housed the schools owls. She quickly looked around for Viathin, Regulus's Indian Eagle-owl, whom gently landed on her arm. He made sure that his claws never pierced her skin through her cloak.
"I need you to take this to Sophia Prewett. Pleas as fast as you can my friend. Wait for her reply and come find me for a treat for your service's." She explained as she handed him a treat then the letter.
She watched until he was out of sight before she walked back into the castle to join the others for dinner and would also let Regulus know that she barrowed his owl to deliver a letter. She knew he wouldn't mind, but she thought it was wise to inform him just in case he needed to use his owl in the next day or so. She wondered if Mana would ask her to speak to Dumbledore even with the two on shaky terms. Something must have caused Tom to decide to make an in person visit to met her. But what, she didn't know. Was it something to do with the raid her baba's where involved in? Had he caught a privet conversation that her family had before in their minds? Something that was out of her control had happened, and she needed to figure out her next move. Especially if she wanted to end the war before anyone she loved and cared about was killed.

Dear Mana, I had an encounter with a Mr. Tom Riddle while at the village. Mana, he spoke of my Grimm and how it was fascinating that I was one of the very few to have such a creature by my side. He also asked if I had been gifted with the gift of the gods. What if he knows about my connection to the Oracel? You should have Baba place stronger wards around the estate, just in case. Please write back soon.
Your Loving Daughter;
Dite.
