Okay guys, thank you for being very patient, and I'm so so sorry this isn't a 'real' chapter, but more of a side story regarding Harry and Maria's brother/sister relationship *

Maria woke from her dream suddenly, for a moment she stared at the curtains and tried to regain her senses.

She could hear The other girls soft breathing and snoring, and sighed. She had fallen asleep in her sweatshirt and sweatpants before curfew, so she must have been sleeping for at least half an hour.

She quietly grabbed her wand and headed out of the dorm, and into the common room. She observed a sixth or seventh year who must have been doing homework and fell asleep at the table.

A few moments passed before Harry came down, holding the invisibility cloak and pulling on his shoes.

"did I wake you?" He asked, before handing her the cloak.

"No. I was having an odd dream to. The First room or the violet room?" Maria muttered, pointing to the boy sleeping at the table.

"Violet room sounds nice." Maria through the cloak over both of them as the made their way out of the common room and into the corridor.

It was a five minuet walk to the violet room, a room Maria and Luna had discovered in second year, out of use and painted a light violet color. They had put it to use as one of the many places for quiet and late night distractions from nightmares and stress.

The Violet room, for the two years it had been in use, now held some books, Maria's (smuggled) guitar, Maria's lyrics, Harry's art and a couch that had been previously present, and a couple blankets.

They curled up on the couch, Maria using Harry as a pillow.

"Mia, Do you think I'll last through the tournament?" Harry asked quietly.

"Don't be silly, Of course you will, You're the boy who lived. That's what we do, we live." Maria said to her brother, but there was a slight waiver in her voice.

"Are you okay?" He asked, and maria gulped slightly.

"I'm scared for you. And for me." Maria whispered, and harry stroked her hair thoughtfully.

"I'm scared for us to, Mia. But you said it, we live. So let's give em what they want, let's live."

Maria laughed slightly, "Remember when I got mad at Dudley and his friend for calling you names, so I turned his hair pink while yelling at them both?"

Harry Snorted, "I never want to forget! Remember that time that I tried to make the lights flicker and accidentally blew up the toilet with Vernon on it?"

Maria started laughing harder at that point, until her and harry were both sent into random fits of giggles.

"I want to have more good times like this, Harry."

"After this, I promise We won't be able to count how much fun we have."

"With Sirius and Remus, and Ron and Hermione and Luna and Ginny."

"Fred and George. Arthur and Molly.."

They went on, naming all the people they could think of, and giggling while doing so.

"-And Bill." Harry said, grinning. There was a moment of silence as both stared at the wall.

"Mia?" Harry said quietly, Maria answering with a soft hum, "I think we are going to be okay."

"Yeah. I seen you talking to Cedric, what did he want?" She asked thoughtfully.

"He apologized for the buttons, and told me to tell you sorry to, even though they were mostly for me."

"Oh. Okay." Maria stretched slightly and re-arranged herself so that they were both more comfortable. "Did you have the nightmare to?" She asked, moving her hair from her eyes.

"Yeah. Wanna stay here tonight?" He asked, and Maria nodded, yawning slightly. "Tomorrow's Saturday anyway, no one will be up before eight." Eventually, both drifted into a light sleep.

It was seven thirty when Maria woke up, and woke Harry up as well.

"Better get back before Hermione notices I'm gone." She said, and Harry nodded.

The boy who had fell asleep at the table was stretching just as they walked in, but failed to notice either of them in his half dazed state.

Hermione was up and reading a book in her bed when Maria got to the dorm, and Maria smiled and waved before climbing back into her own bed.

"You were having nightmares again." Hermione stated looking up over her book. "You should tell Dumble-"

"Mione."

"What?"

"Me and Harry have it all figured out." Maria said through a yawn.

"How so?"

"We're going to be okay and then have lots of fun."

By the Time Hermione had regained her speech the dark haired girl was already asleep, covers pulled over her head.

Hermione smiled though, knowing very well both of them had their nightly visits random places to discuss nightmares and fears and being okay.
