A/N: I'm not sure St Pancras King's+ isn't connected to any lake by a river. I made that part up. I don't think there is a Great Lake anyways either
Delphini slithered onto land clutching a soaking wet time turner. Four turns was sure to land her a day before October 1981. She swam towards the shore and looked up at Hogwarts. Delphini frowns. She only knew about the sea gate that took her from St Pancras King's+ Lake to the Black Lake.
She had traveled straight to Grimmauld before she used the time turner. She had swam to muggle St Pancras King's+ lake shore houses at Grimmauld Street.
Then she had taken out the piece of paper Albus-Severus gave her. After that she swam near the connected docks of the houses Grimmauld #11 and Grimmauld #13. Grimmauld #12 wasn't visible until Delphini read the piece of paper that said 'Grimmauld #12'.
Grimmauld #12 had seemed to magically squeeze in between the very two close lake shore houses, as close as neighborhood houses. The houses had moved slightly further away from each other to make way for another house in between them. It Grimmauld #12 house, 3/4 underwater. Muggles ever who saw the house thought it was a shore house that got flooded when the lake rose.
Delphini didn't need to go to shore to get to Grimmauld #12. The entrance underwater was charmed to not let any water in. She used the time turner 4 times right before entering the house from underwater. After she after the effect of the time turner she entered Grimauld Place.
She saw a blond wizardess, who she recognized as her Aunt Cissa. She saw four other s and wizardesses. One had short dark, wavy hair and brighter, pure silver eyes, unlike Delphini's silver-green eyes. He looks like her cousin Draco Malfoy, he must be Uncle Regalus. Both her uncle and aunt wore beautiful sot coral robes of purple. The second had slightly greying straight, dark hair and an angry, aristocratic features. She wore mabé pearl robes with seashells on them. She also wore fresh water pearls around her neck. That must be Great Aunt Walburga. And finally she saw another wizardess wearing soft coral robes, like her uncle and aunt. There was no mistaking the hair and eyes she inherited from the lady before her. Mother!
Somehow she didn't miss or long for her mother like she did for her father. Maybe it was karma that Bellatrix's karma daughter wouldn't ever care about the memory of her after Bellatrix makes sure Neville's parents don't recognize him. And Voldemort's karma was his karma daughter would long for him just as he made sure Harry would long for his parents. Even Delphini couldn't deny this act of karma.
Her musings was interrupted as a guy in mabé pearl robes swims next to Walburga. "Who are you?" he asks Delphini, pointing a finger with many freshwater pearl rings.
"I'm an orphan," she replies. "I'm here to ask for alms to support the great cause. You're a loyal family right?"
"Who are you?" Bellatrix replies. Even though it's not her father, Delphini is not sure how to reply to her mother who she never met before. "The Dark Lord isn't asking for alms. That's the only cause I hear about."
"I didn't mention him," Delphi replies irritated.
"What are your raising galleons for?" Narcissa asks. Delphi stares at he aunt, she did so long for her aunt after she was sent away to the Rowles.
"Just a grassroot organization to implement new laws at the ministry to preserve the pureblood way of life," Delphi replied.
The Blacks gave her some galleons while she looked around. Her aunt, uncle, and mom looked old enough for it to be near Ocotober 31, 1981. But one glance at her mom and aunt told her they weren't married yet. And her uncle was still alive, he perished betraying her father before October 31, 1981. She growled at her uncle. Her uncle stared at her oddly.
She didn't blink and she glanced around the house. No sign of b'witchering Halloween customs. But the temperature of the lake plus everyone's dress code told her it was late summer. She pocketed the galleons and left.
After that she swam to the the sea-gate Great Black Lake. She slithered onto land and transfigured a rock into a scooter. Flying was how she traveled on land, she preferred to fly like her father. She was never able to get used to walking because Rowle hag kept her in a huge tank at the Rowle lake house. Next to a blasted augury. Flying here would look suspicious., the great fool Dumbledore was still headmaster.
Delphini slithered onto the scooter and rode to Hogwarts. Some students gave her weird looks. She didn't realize other students and faculty would recognize she didn't go to Hogwarts. She decided if she got questioned, she'd claim she went to a foreign school. And she was in Hogsmeade so she came up to the school grounds. I think I need some invisible potion, Delphini thought. Atleast she was the same height she was when she was 13.
Delphini looked around deciding not to go too far onto school grounds. She saw some boys near the lake. She did a double take.
She recognized three of the boys from the portraits at the Potter's house. One was James Potter, the other was Sirius Black, and the third was the werewolf. They looked younger. One was her father's target, the other her blood traitor uncle, and the 3rd was her 2nd nephew's father. She scowled. The 4th was probably her father's useless servant who went soft at the end in her timeline.
Delphini scowled. Sirius was on a scooter like her. She watched them for awhile then slowly crept forward. James noticed her first. He tensed up. "Do you know Sirius?" He asked her. She hoped she didn't resemble Sirius enough. Her cousin Tonks wasn't born yet judging by the boys' ages. And Delphini only had the Black eyes and her mother's hairs, common traits.
But Delphini realized she went too far back in time. Her father's future servants had engraved a symbol to the side of the castle. That started after her father started recruiting. She frowned before noticing James waiting expectantly. "Oh no no, I don't know him," she replied. "I'm a wizardess, but I never met him." Sirius and Remus stared at her curiously. Peter gawked at her.
James opened his mouth about to ask more questions. "Oh I to send an important owl someone I'll see you later," Delphini rode away as fast as the darn scooter could take her on the bumpy grass.
