He always was my hero.
The young transfiguration teacher, the one who always seemed to be hiding a laugh.
After I took his job, it grew into more. I grew to love him.
He, the only one who You-Know-Who was afraid of.
He, one of the only ones who would say the name.
So brave, so strong.
But now he's going to die.
He's not scared, but I am.
Hogwarts could never be the same.
And he's dying without knowing my true feelings. I guess it's best, but it doesn't change my love.
He left me a note to read when he's gone, but he'll never be gone in my heart.
I might as well open it now.
It says:
________
Minerva-
I've kept a secret for so many years, it's time to let it out. I love you.
________
A tear falls on the page. My tear.
Oh, Albus...
