Hogwarts Moments

Distracting Minerva

Exams were always a busy time, and it was Minerva's fifth late night working in a row. The clock struck midnight, and still her quill scratched across the parchment, filling it with neat lines of writing. Absently she reached for another scroll, as she did so a flicker of movement caught her attention, and there sat a large bumble bee gazing up at her in a strangely familiar manner. The bumble bee had not been there a moment before she was certain of it, and bees did not simply appear out of thin air, unless...

Minerva stretched out her arm as though reaching for a fresh quill, her fingers closed round the newspaper that lay on her desk, one swift movement, and 'Swat!'

Just as she had expected the familiar form of Albus appeared in place of the bee.

"That hurt," Albus complained, as he rubbed his head ruefully. Albus looked supremely comfortable perched on the hard surface of her desk, as his sapphire eyes twinkled at her mischieviously.

Minerva was in no mood for his nonsence though. "First you sent Fawkes to spy on me, then you tried turning into an owl, and now a bee. Really Albus I am busy, now buzz off!"

Albus' twinkle grew brighter, as laughter danced across his face. "You know I can't beehive myself when I'm bored my dear. It's late, honey..."

Minerva's lips twitched, even as she tried a half hearted glare. "Never call me honey again, ever. Now go away."

Instantly Albus assumed an expression of mock hurt, as he gazed at her with sad puppy dog eyes. "Oh my love, your words sting me..."

Minerva never could resist a good pun, and try as she might she could not contain the laughter that erupted from her. By the time she had finished laughing she was encased in his arms, his lips brushing gently against her hair, and even though there was still work to do, she had no inclination to move.

Author's Notes

Sorry for all the puns, but I couldn't resist writing this when the idea came to me. The next one shots in this will feature either Albus or Minerva, along with other characters, such as the Marauders. And then we'll see where my inspiration takes me, but I'll always love ADMM, I'll always ship it, and even if I write other things, I'll always keep writing ADMM as well. :)
