Title: She's Mine

Archived: Anyone who would like to archive this is fine with me, just let me know so I know where my stuff is.

Rating: PG-13 (possible for future parts, I'm not sure yet)

Disclaimer: Unfortunately they don't belong to me, unless you haven't heard of them, and then I probably made them up.

Feedback: Yes, I would love feedback!

Author's notes: I figured that Minerva was in her 7th year when Tom (Voldemort) was in his second. I also figured that Albus defeated Grindelwald a year after Minerva graduated.

Summery: 1944, McGonagall's 7th year at Hogwarts, and Tom Riddle's 2nd. What happens when Riddle gets a crush on Minerva, but she's only interested in her Transfiguration teacher, Albus Dumbledore? MM/AD pairing. (Will be a long fic over a long time period.)

Part 1

She's perfect. Strong, brave, and beautiful. Top in her class, hell, she's the best student Hogwarts has probably ever seen. And she'll be mine one day, all mine.

"Are you paying attention, Mr. Riddle?"

"What?" Tom snapped out of his dazed state, "Yes, I'm paying attention, turn an animal into a goblet, got it." He said looking strait into her eyes. Minerva sighed. She was in her seventh year, and because of her excellent grades in all subjects, but especially Transfiguration, the administration had agreed to let her assist Professor Dumbledore in teaching some of his younger classes.

"Well then, since you were paying attention, would you be so kind as to show the rest of the class?" She asked in a strict tone that scared most of the class, but only increased Tom's infatuation with her.

"Of course." He said. He might have been daydreaming, but he could remember every word that had escaped her lips. He said the words and tapped the snake in front of him three times. It almost got all the way there, but the tongue was still hissing out the rim of the cup.

"Very good for a first try. I think 5 points are in order for Slytherin?" She said turning to Professor Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk. He looked at her and nodded. She could only give points to the students if he approved.

Just then the bell rang to signal the end of class.

"Remember your homework is due on Friday, and don't be surprised if there's a quiz as well." She reminded them as they gathered up their books.

Lunch was next, so none of them really rushed out of there, and Tom especially took his time. He was in the front row, so he could hear what she and Dumbledore were saying to each other.

Dumbledore got up and stood in front of his desk.

"Well done, Minerva, you'll make an excellent teacher one day." He said smiling. She blushed a little.

"Thank you, Professor, but I'll never be as good as you. You always seem to make it fun, something I'm not good at."

"Nonsense." He said putting his hand on her arm, making Tom inwardly growl, "You'll do fine, and not everyone has to make it fun in the same way. If the students learn and enjoy it, then it doesn't much matter how it's taught, does it?" She laughed a bit.

"Thank you. I am a little worried though...oh never mind." Dumbledore frowned.

"No, what is it? Is everything ok?" She looked up at him. "Oh, Tom! I didn't even notice you were still here." She said all of a sudden and Tom looked up.

"Sorry, I was just on my way out." He said taking his bag and walking out, but he didn't close the door all the way and stood outside listening to what they were saying. Making sure of course that no one would see what he was doing.

"Minerva."

"It's just that."

"Yes?"

"I overheard some of the students talking about the class I taught."

"In a good way I hope." He said concerned.

"Actually, they seemed to be more interested in me than Transfiguration. I'm a little worried that my appearance is distracting some of the students." Dumbledore smiled.

"Ah, yes. I do recall hearing young Mr. Reynolds talking to some of his friends about.what did they say.oh, yes, 'the hot new teacher' I was wondering who they meant, it would have helped if they had said teaching assistant." Dumbledore frowned when she didn't laugh like he had hoped.

"It's not a big deal, my dear. So some of your students have crushes on you, I've gone through that same thing." Minerva didn't look up at him, but instead turned a deep shade of red, making Tom furious when he realized she liked Dumbledore. Dumbledore, however didn't even notice and continued.

"Believe it or not, I was quite the hansom man in my youth. I remember my first year teaching here, I had three 7th year girls try to seduce me! But they still did well in class. In fact, I think it helped. If they're interested in you, then they're more likely to pay attention."

"I can understand that." She said quietly, knowing how much her crush on him had helped her pay more attention in his class.

"Good." He said pushing off the desk he was leaning on, "Now, would you like to go to lunch, or stay here and work on next week's lesson plans?"

She looked up at him and smiled, "I'm kind of hungry, perhaps we could work on them tonight in the common room?" He smiled.

"That sounds wonderful, and then perhaps a game of wizards chess? I promise I will beat you, even if I haven't been able to in the past 7 years." She laughed.

"What can I say, I'm a natural." She said proudly.

"And such a Gryffindor!" He said putting a hand on her back and leading them towards the door, where Tom was scowling and headed to the Great Hall himself.

She's mine, and I won't let him have her. He thought to himself as he sat down.

End of part 1

Ok, I'm wonder if I should continue, so if you want more, please send feedback, if you don't want me to continue then either don't respond, or just tell me it sucks.
