AN- Ok, this is the part where Malandra finally tells Dumbledore about the future. Things in her world have followed almost all the plots of the Harry Potter books except the last couple of chapters of DH, mainly the parts where Snape and Lupin die.

Malandra could not help but stare as Snape entered the room. How long had it been since she had last saw her father? One year? No, it was longer, a year and six months. It had been a year and a half since she had last heard her mother laugh or her father frighten some helpless first year. One and a half years since her parents had went on their failed mission for the order, one and a half years since they had told her that they would be home soon, one and a half years since her auntie Min had called her into her office and told her that Voldemort himself had killed her parents.

Now, there her father was, looking very much like he had the day he left; and it took all of her strength not to rush into his arms. Instead, she called upon that Snape reserve that she had inherited from her father; That uncanny ability to stay calm even when she felt like she was being ripped apart from the inside. Oh yes, that reserve came in handy in times such as these.

Malandra glanced down at the bottle her father was holding in his hands. "Veritaserum." she whispered. Dumbledore glanced over at her. "What was that?" He asked. "Veritaserum." she said a bit louder. "the truth potion, makes it impossible for one to lie." she smiled. "I'm assuming that's why you had my-- Professor Snape bring it up here, So I would have to tell you the truth about why I am here?"

My father glanced at me, that cruel look, that he often showed students but never me, on his face. "I would have expected better than some foolish prank from a student in my house." he said coldly. "I told Albus that you were just a student who got bored and decided to play a ridiculous trick. I told him that under the threat of Veritaserum and expulsion you would, of course confess."

Malandra stared at him stubbornly. "I assure you, Professor, that I am not under any circumstances pulling a prank. Do you honestly think that any student in the Slytherin house would be foolish enough to try such a prank on the headmaster? If I was truly joking I would have tried I on someone far more gullible, a Hufflepuff perhaps."

She put on a smirk that was identical to her father's. " Futhermore, I will gladly take the Veritaserum, under once condition and that is that you and Harry leave the room; several of the things that I might…… revel under the effects of the potion are things that I would rather the two of you not know."

Snape looked as though he were about to speak but Dumbledore, wisely, stepped in. "Severus, Harry," he said, "I believe that miss--" "Malandra." she said, "Ah yes, well, I believe that Miss Malandra is right, the things she knows should be discussed with as few people as possible."

Malandra smiled at him. "Thank you, headmaster." She said as she watched her father and Harry leave the office. She knew, of course, that both of them would be waiting outside the door, and, most likely, they would both be attempting to eavesdrop.

Malandra looked up at Dumbledore. "Headmaster,' she asked, "Would it be alright if, after you administered the veritaserum, you removed the body binding charm? I'm starting to feel a bit… stiff."

Albus smiled at the girl. "I believe that can be arranged." He the pressed the potion to her lips and watched her swallow. Once satisfied that she had taken it all, he removed the spell." Malandra stretched. "Thank you." she said, "it was getting most tiresome not being able to move."

Dumbledore looked at her. "Indeed.' He said, "I'm sure it must have been." He looked at her. "Now then, he asked, "I would like you to please tell me your full name." She sighed. "Malandra, Malandra Eileen Snape."

"Indeed," Dumbledore said, "Am I to assume that you are Severus's daughter?" She smirked, "You assumed correctly." she said. "And your mother?" He asked. She lowered her head for a moment. "I would prefer not to answer that.' She said honestly, "If anyone were to know, even you professor, it could make things rather… complicated, for all of us."

"Very well." He said, although the headmaster did find himself rather curious as to who the woman was who was finally able to break through the walls that Severus had built up over the years.

Dumbledore smiled at her, "How old are you." Malandra rolled her eyes. "Seventeen years 3 months five days." she said smirking. Dumbledore held back a chuckle. Oh yes, she was Severus's daughter through and through.

"What was the purpose of sending you back here?" He asked. The smirk left her face. She sighed for a moment and paused before speaking. "There were two reasons.' she said, "The first was for my protection. There were deatheaters about to attack the school and Auntie Min-Professor Mcgonagall- used the spell that my parents had invented to send me back to where I would be safer. And that was now."

"And the other reason?" Albus asked, his tone much more grave. "To stop things from turing out like this, the way they are now." Dumbledore looked as though he were about to speak but she continued before he could open his mouth. "I know that messing with the past could cause disasterous effects in the future but Professor, you don't understand, it can not get any worse."

She sighed. "Twenty years ago- this time we are in now- you made a grave error, one that nearly cost my father his life and one that cost the wizarding world dearly." She took in a deep breath, this was the hardest part, telling Albus Dumbledore that he had made the mistake that lead to Harry Potter, Severus's Snape, and Hermione Grager's deaths.

"I know that you have already asked my father to kill you, and I know that he has to help Draco Malfoy in anyway possible due to the vow. Professor Dumbledore, you MUST NOT let this happen." She lowered her head. "Should my father kill you, and carry on the pretense of being a loyal deatheater, several things will happen. Harry, Hermione, and Ron will go on a search for the Horcruxes, they will find them, my father will even help them--thought they will not know it was him. There will be a battle at Hogwarts, The light side will win after Harry dies for about five minutes-therefore destroying the part of Voldemort inside him-- then comes back and kills Voldemort. My father will nearly die by Nagini's bite and only the fact that my mother truly was--" The brightest witch of her age, she thought ''Was rather intelligent saved him from certain death." She smiled, "I believe that is when he fell in love with her. Even though she thought he was a murderer who had killed you, she still saved him."

Malandra shook her head, she couldn't get distracted, not now. "So, so far it seems good, right? Everything goes according to plan. Except one thing, you got one thing wrong, and that changed everything."
