N// this is pure rubbish. I'm not a romance writer. For this story McGonagall
and Lupin are the same age, lets say 40. Its Harry's 5th year and
Lupin's come back to teach.
It
was the 25th August, a week before the students would arrive back
from their summer holiday. Remus Lupin, who had accepted the position of the
Defence Against the Dark Arts position once again walked back into Hogwarts
after a year. He was looking forward to seeing the other members of staff, well
maybe not Snape, but everyone else. As he was walking towards Dumbledore's
office someone bumped into him, he managed to remain standing, but the other
person was knocked to the ground. Remus bent down and offered his hand to the
person.
"Well
hello Remus," the person said. Remus recognised the voice straight away. It
belonged to Minerva McGonagall. She took his hand and he pulled her up. "Nice
to see you again." She made to walk off, but turned her head and continued
walking. "By the way the headmaster would like to see you." With that she had
turned round the corner and disappeared.
"Well
I didn't even get to say hello," he muttered to himself. He forgot about it as
he continued his way to Dumbledore's office. He stuck his head around the door
and noticed Dumbledore writing a letter. Dumbledore suddenly lifted his head.
"Hello
Remus. Its lovely to see you again after so long." Dumbledore told him as he
stood up gave him a hug.
"Well
its nice to be back. I have to say I've missed this place. Are you sure the
parents are not going to mind me coming back? You know the whole werewolf
thing." Lupin asked him the one thing that had been worrying him about
returning.
"Ah
well I have already sorted that out. With the supply lists that were sent out,
there was an extra note telling the parents about your return and if they had
any problems to owl me, and you'll be glad to know that there have no
complaints, except one or two from the some Slytherin's parents, but everyone
else is all right with it so Fudge agreed. On the conditions that you carry on
drinking the potion." Dumbledore explained to him with a twinkle in his eye.
"Now
you will be staying in the same room as last time so I suggest you go and make
yourself at home again." Dumbledore told him. Remus went to leave,
"Oh
and Remus its nice to have you back." Dumbledore told him, Remus smiled at him.
"You
know what its nice to be back." He replied, and with that he left. Remus walked
slowly towards his room taking in the halls of Hogwarts once again.
"Come
on Remus we don't have all day," Minerva McGonagall swept passed him in a hurry
towards her classroom. Remus followed her and stood in the middle of the
doorframe. He could see her arranging her books, with her back towards him.
"Hello
Minerva," she quickly turned round and looked at him.
"Hi
again. You do know that you shouldn't startle someone like that," she told him
sternly.
"I'm
sorry its just I never got to say hello to you this morning, as you seemed in
quite a rush." Remus explained to him as he approached her. "So how have you
been?" he asked her politely.
"I'm
fine thank you, pass me that book please." She asked him pointing to a large,
thick red leather bound book.
"Do
you fancy some tea Minerva," he asked innocently. She turned round and gave him
one of her famous looks, but it then turned into a small smile.
"Go
on then," she replied as she transfigured her bag into a kettle. Remus pulled
up two chairs next to her desk. They sat in silence for a while, just sipping
at their tea, not knowing what to say.
"So,
how come you came back this year." Minerva asked with interest.
"Well
Dumbledore told me about what happened last year at the end of the tournament,"
Remus noticed her face go pale at the mention of it. "Dumbledore wondered
weather I wanted to come back and teach, and you know keep an eye on Harry."
Remus explained to her. She nodded her head giving him a knowing smile.
"I
suppose that Sirius wanted someone looking out for Harry as well. Yes?" Remus
nodded.
"I
suppose you know about Sirius then," Minerva smiled and nodded her head.
"Yes
I have to say I found your little adventure very, let me see how I can put
this. Very you." Remus laughed at her comment.
"Well
I suppose we did get up to stuff like that when we were at Hogwarts." He told
her.
"Yes,
I suppose we did. I also heard about the little incident with a certain
Professor Snape." Minerva told him trying her best to suppress a giggle
"That
was not me or Sirius, that was Harry, Ron and Hermione," he told her smiling
innocently.
"So
I heard." Once Remus had finished his drink he bid Minerva a farewell and went
to his room to settle in.
