Harry looked at the girl in surprise. "So in your time we, er, know each other then?" He asked. Malandra smirked. "You and my mother are friends." she said, trying to give a way as little about her family as possible. Now defiantly was not the time for Harry to figure that part out.
Harry looked at her. He couldn't help but wonder who she was. There was something about her, her smile, the way she talked, it seemed so familiar… He wondered, Could she be mine?
As though she was reading his mind, she spoke. "Mum always said it was a pity you never had children of your own. She was always looking for children my age for me to be friends with. She had this crazy idea that since I was an only child I would grow up to be a loner or something. "She rolled her eyes. "As if, there was ever a chance of that occurring. I was the most popular student to enter Slytherin my first year; or course that was due to the fact that so many people were eager to meet the daughter of--" Her voice trailed off. She had said too much.
But Harry was intrigued "The daughter of whom?" He asked excitedly. The daughter of the brains of the golden trio and the dungeon bat! She wanted to exclaim. The daughter of the Gryffindor Know-it-All and the head of Slytherin house! The daughter of the most unlikely couple to come out of this whole bloody war.
Instead, "The daughter of two famous war heroes." She said softly, "My parents both played a large part in helping you defeat Lord Voldemort." At least the first time. She mentally added.
Harry looked shocked for a moment. "so I--we-- stop him?' he asked. Malandra sighed. Why do I even speak? She asked herself. How can I tell him that yes, he does defeat him for a time but then…
She smiled up at him. "Yes, you do, stop him I mean." Harry smiled. "How?" he asked excitedly. "I mean if you could tell me then I could just go out and--" He stopped as he noticed her silence.
"You can't tell me can you?" He said dully. She shook her head sadly. "I'm afraid that until I speak with Professor Dumbledore I really shouldn't tell you too much about what is going to happen. It could--" Change the future, cause a deadly reaction, and ruin the time space continuum.' He interjected. "You sound just like my friend Hermione." Malandra smiled, Oh Harry, if you only knew…
Harry stared at her. "Is there anything you can tell me?" He pleaded. "Do I have a job? A girlfriend? Am I married?" She laughed a bit at him. Harry was like a kid in a candy store, wanting to know all he could. Then again, she thought, wouldn't I be the same if I knew I was going to survive a battle I was almost certain I was destined to lose? Then again, he doesn't know the full story…
"Well," She said, "you're very handsome. I used to have a crush on you when I was younger. Mum thought it was cute, Dad thought it was nauseating." She smiled at bit at that. Her father had nearly had a heart attack when her mother had confided in him that their preteen daughter thought Harry Potter was "Rather cute." Her father informed her that it was perfectly fine for her to start taking an interest in boys but Weasley's and, most definitely, Potter's were to be avoided.
"You had one steady girlfriend for a while but---" She couldn't tell him that, not now. "It ended." She finished lamely. "She married someone else, and the twelve year old me was rather glad you were single."
Harry chuckled at her description, but it made him wonder, who was the girl who had left him and married another? Was it Ginny and, if so, what had happened that made her want to be with someone else?
Harry was about to speak when, suddenly, he heard the door open. Dumbledore had returned and he had brought with him, a very grouchy looking, Professor Snape.
