A/N ok I know I usually go for the Minerva/Hermione stories in which they are a pair in a romantic relationship and now putting them into a mother daughter relationship may be a tad bit strange considering I like them in a romantically together. But since its Mother's day I figured I could make the exception for today. Also I know I should be trying to update Animal I have Become as a lot of you seem to like it quite a bit and it is due for an update, but to be honest I haven't found the motivation to continue anything lately my childhood dog has been very sick for a while and needed her uterus to be removed because it was infected and quite fatal if it was to rupture. So she's getting better now that it's out and recovering. So I plan on updating that story soon. I wanted to post this one to tell you guess I'm still alive and writing.

Special thanks to my lovely editor Karen's Song

A Mother's Day Surprise

Today was like any other day for Minerva. Except it was the one day she grew to dislike. Mother's Day. Minerva had never been a big fan of Mother's day. And for why she did not know. Some people speculate it was because she herself had no children of her own. And that they would be correct about as Minerva did not have any children to call her own. She did not nor need any of her own children. Her busy life would not allow it. Her students had always been in her eyes her children, but none more than her cubs. They were her children so to speak. She was very protective of them. Defended them with everything she is even when she may not know who she is.

Most of the students from 7th to 1st years in the other house had gone home to spend with their mothers. But all of her students had stayed. And this she wasn't sure why. They all have mothers that would probably like to spend the day with them. Even with that they all still stayed. That was rather curious to her. There must be a reason why they choose to stay here, and it definitely wasn't her. Minerva had thought about what the reasons were to why they'd all stayed. She knew it couldn't be her so then why then? But then her thoughts changed to thoughts of Why should it matter to her? It was then that she accepted that it's simply another lonely holiday for her to endure.

Minerva's POV

I can't believe this. Of all the days to deal with this it has to be today of all days. I guess this could be a reason why I hate this dreaded holiday or one of the reasons at least. Why is it always me that has the unfortunate luck to deal with reckless students, incredibly loud sounds and mass pranks? I bet it's the Weasley twins. Oh, most defiantly who else makes it their personal goal to make my life a personal hell? Oh don't think like that Minerva they mean well. Let them have their fun. Ablus's voice sounded through her head.

While sitting in her office, grading some essays before breakfast Minerva had stopped to the sound of quite a commotion going on outside her doors. She twisted her now down hair into its standard tight bun and transfigured her morning gown into her emerald green teaching robes. As she went to the door she tripped over one of the desk legs and stumbled into the closed door. Cursing lightly under her breathe she opened the door. When she did she was greeted with the sight of mass ciaos. Fanged Frisbees were flying about bouncing off the walls and then rocketing off in the other direction. There were some students that were playing with screaming yoyos. Walking around she had to duck down quickly to avoid the flying Frisbee from whacking right into her head. Which would have ended up in a quite a very nasty bite if it was successful. Minerva takes out her wand and silently casted a spell to freeze the Frisbees in midair. She turned around to reprimand the yo-yoing students only to move to quickly and slip on a fairly large puddle of water she had not seen before. Falling down hard on her bum she sat there for a few moments in shock. Getting up slowly, now cold and wet, she was in twice the bad mood she had been in before. She let out her anger on the two yo-yoing student's full force. And to her surprise it was her own cubs that were causing the ruckus.

"Brice. Kalvin. What is it you both think you are doing here causing such a disruption in my corridor?" I hissed out at them angrily. "N...n…n...nothing Professor… um we… we just wanted to have a bit of fun before breakfast was all... Honest." "Oh, and you thought it'd be a good idea to come down in front of my office to my corridor 'to have a bit of fun' did you? Funny I was quite curtain the common room would have been a suffice place for you to do that." My voice was now dripping with venom. I didn't want to be so harsh with them, but honestly I'm soaked completely through my robes and it's chilly in the corridor especially in the early morning. Maybe they'd learn next year to just go home during this holiday. My day is just not going well. These poor second years they're gonna be terrified of me till they graduate now. Both of the boys just stared at me shaking slightly, fear etched into their little faces. 'Well I guess that's one way to start a morning huh' I bitterly said to myself. I sigh softly and look around me. I notice puddles of water lying sporadically around on the floor. Some big ones and some small ones all spaced out as if strategically placed on the floor. "Brice!" "Y...y…yes Professor?" "Did you and Mr. Kalvin here happen to be the ones responsible for making such a mess in this hall?" "N…n…no Professor we are not responsible for it. We just got here and the Frisbees were flying around and water was already on the floor. I almost slipped in that big puddle over there." I looked over to where Mr. Brice was pointing at and saw that there was a particularly big puddle at the end of the corridor and it stopped right outside the bathrooms. "I see. Hm... Well since you happen to be in this general area where this all happened to occur I suppose it is only fair to punish both of you till we find out who has done this… for this could all be a lie to cover both of your bottoms." "But Professor, we didn't do it. I swear we didn't" "Enough! The both of you will be receiving detention for one week with Professor Snape in the dungeons. And I will be taking ten points away from both of you for disruption and destruction. I'm very disappointed in you two. I can understand Slytherin doing something like this for they are not my house nor would it surprise me if they did, but Gryffindor? My own house… I'm truly ashamed and disappointed. Both of you... Go. Now…"

I watch them both run away down the corridor. Occasionally they would slip here and there on their poorly placed footing into the puddles of water that lay all around. I waited a few minutes to make sure they didn't turn back around, but I was fairly certain I scared them enough that they wouldn't visit this corridor more than they have to unless for class. I walked cautiously towards the over flowing bathrooms wand raised and ready to put a stop to whatever was behind that door.
