AN- I know it's been over a year since I updated but senior year was very well….busy But I'm BACK!!! And yes, I know this is mostly a filler chapter, but I had to get back in the writing groove somehow! Bad Religion owns this song! JK Owns HP!

The Positive aspects of Negative Thinking

So what does it mean? When we tell ourselvesit's only for a while we have been deceived, and it's only for a moment that the treasures of our day make life easier to complicate, the treasure thrown away

Malandra's thrill over her possible existence lasted until the following morning at breakfast when she saw a morose Harry staring over at Ron who was shooting death glares at both her and Harry. "He looks cheerful this morning." She said as she grabbed a slice of toast.

Harry managed a weak grin. "Yea, bloody ray of sunshine Ron is." He shook his head. "He'll get over it eventually." Malandra rolled her eyes. "You sure about that? He can hold a grudge for years." Harry sighed. "Well, if we're lucky then by the time you're born he'll have forgiven both of us, yeah?"

Malandra smiled and sighed. "Harry are you really sure that this thing with us is what you.." He cut her off with a quick kiss. "Trust me, if it wasn't what I wanted. It wouldn't be happening." "You do realize that my father will make Defense against the Dark Arts a pain in the ass for both of us today now that the entire school knows about us, right?" Harry smirked. "Bring it on."

__________________________________________

True to Malandra's prediction Snape was in a rare form of maliciousness, even for him. Twenty points were taken from Gryffindor for Ron messing up a particualry difficult jinx, and- although she knew it was unfair- Mal could not help but be secretly pleased that Ron was humiliated in class after the way he had behaved toward Harry. She didn't much care about how he treated her, but Harry had enough on his plate without having to deal with his friend being a complete prat.

Lunch proved to be even more disheartening with Ron continuing his avoidance of Harry, and Hermione comforting a forlorn looking Ginny. Malandra sighed. She knew her mother and Ginny had been friends, but it still was a bit unnerving to see her taking care of Ginny over her. Of course it was irrational but still…

The rest of the day proved uneventful, at least until after supper when a message was delivered to the common room. Dumbledore believed that he had discovered some important information about Voldemort and he wished to see the both of them in his office immediaely

Harry and Malandra were both nervous and elated as they read the note. Elated because anything that could help them with Voldemort was good, nervous because this would be the fist time they would see Dumbledore since they got together. Both were certain they would be treated to a lecture on why they should not do anything that could possibly have negative effects on the future; and they would be reminded that having a relationship with a person who was not yet existence could have definate negative effects.

So much for any hope of a peaceful night.
