All right those who were reading the other story I'm sorry but I had to put this up, I'm weird like that. Believe me when I say I am incredibly sorry for not getting this story started a bit faster. But I went through a dramatic move. Thanks to all the unknown voters who voted yes to the sequel. I probably would have made a sequel any way but you never know. I hope you enjoy the first chapter!
Mother Knows Best 2
~Adrienne's Letter~
Albus and Minerva had been married for nearly twenty-two years. And not long before they were married they had their daughter Adrienne. Albus held Minerva in his arms. He watched as she slept peacefully. He smiled. He wondered how such an amazing women like Minerva would be able to stand such a crazy old man like himself for so many years. But surprisingly she stayed with him and loved him even more as the years went by. He wondered when Minerva would wake up and he also wondered where his lemon drops were. It wasn't long before Albus's sweet tooth got the best of him.
Albus slowly got out of bed and took a quick shower. He disappeared into the closet and came out wearing plain purple robes. He grabbed a pair of socks and put on his boots. After getting dressed he took off in the search of his lemon drops. Albus in Minerva lived in a mansion which was Minerva's until it became theirs. They did own a small cabin in the mountains, which was where they spent their honeymoon. After Adrienne was born they spent most of their life there. Adrienne was rather popular when she was younger. After all she was the daughter of Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall. But it soon died down after she was sixteen.
Albus wondered if he would ever find his lemon drops. There were too many rooms. They needed a smaller house. He thought of the chance Minerva had hid his lemon drops so he headed straight for the library. Minerva would hide Albus's candy every once in awhile just to bug him. It made since though. She got back for every time he interrupted her reading. He entered Minerva's favorite room of the house, the library. Books everywhere, packed tightly together on the shelves. All read at least twice. Albus thought about getting Minerva more books and turning one of the spare bedrooms into a mini library. Albus looked under the desks and around books. Albus sat in one of the chairs. He thought for a moment. Where would Minerva hide candy? Albus flipped the cushion of Minerva's favorite chair and of course they were there, wrapped up in a clear bag.
As he headed for his room a house elf appeared in front of him. Mitzi was the house elf's name. She was the most helpful out of three. Mitzi bowed low to the floor.
"Well hello Mitzi." Albus said brightly. Mitzi smiled.
"Mr. Dumbledore must be hungry, as well as his wife. What should Mitzi get Mr. and Mrs. Dumbledore?"
"I guess the usual would be fine. But please don't rush. Minerva might not be up for the next half-hour or so." Albus answered.
"Mitzi will start breakfast at the time Mrs. Dumbledore wakes." Mitzi vanished in an instant.
Albus continued his way to his room. Albus opened the door quietly, incase Minerva was still sleeping, which she was. He looked at the clock above the bathroom door. It was ten minutes till nine. Albus decided that this would be the best time to wake up Minerva. After all they had an anniversary party to help with.
Albus pulled the curtains apart letting sunlight shine through the room. He looked at Minerva who was sleeping peacefully until the light hit her face. She pulled the sheets over her head and Albus chuckled. Albus sat at the side of the bed and pulled the sheets off Minerva's face. Minerva glared at him. He smiled brightly at her. Minerva closed her eyes again and tried to pull the sheets over her face but Albus held them tightly. Minerva just stared at him. It was his fault she was so tired.
"You are far too beautiful to cover your face my dear." Albus leaned down and kissed her lightly on her lips. Albus was about to pull back but Minerva wrapped her arms around him and returned the kiss with more passion. Minerva finally let Albus go and smiled slyly. She stretched her arms out. "It's time to wake up darling." Albus said.
"If you had let me sleep last night instead of begging, I would be out of bed by now." Minerva said.
"Excuse me but you had fun. So don't start with me." Albus said with a smile.
"Well if you didn't lose your kitty socks we wouldn't have to look all over the bloody house for them. And the only reason I had fun was because you tripped over the rug and you had a pair of socks that said Minerva rocks my world." Her eyes were twinkling. Albus took her hand and kissed her lightly.
"Well it's true." He smiled and looked at the clock. "We have to do a few things for our anniversary party my dear." Albus stroked his finger gently on her hand. Minerva smirked at him. Albus could tell she wasn't in the mood to work today.
"Albus please, we have three days to do that." She smiled and closed her eyes once again. "Why should we even have a party? It should be just you and me."
"Minerva dear, you know that if we don't celebrate our anniversary your mother and Adrienne will be upset. Katherine and Adrienne worked hard for this party and they only asked us to find a few of our wedding photos. And Merlin knows where they are, so it will take awhile to find them." Albus smiled. He released her hand. "So get out of bed woman. We have pictures to find." Albus said. Minerva stuck her tongue out and kept her eyes closed. Albus raised an eyebrow. "Of course tickling might get you out of bed." Minerva's eye flashed open. Before Minerva could try to get away, Albus began to tickle her nonstop. Minerva exploded in laughter. She wasn't able to get away and she could hardly breathe.
"Please!" She gasped. "Stop!" Minerva could hardly get the words out. He tickled her for a bit longer.
Albus stopped to let her breath. "Have you had enough my dear?" Albus smiled. Minerva took deep breaths and smiled back at him. Albus was about just about to tickle her again but Minerva made her move and kissed him. It wasn't long before they were in a rather long session of snogging.
There was a loud tapping noise coming from the window. They both looked up and saw a dark brown owl holding parchment. Albus was a bit disappointed to be interrupted but stood up and opened the window. The bird flew down onto the chair next to Albus. Albus took the letter from the owl. The owl waited for payment. Albus just stuck his tongue at the owl. Minerva shook her head. "Well aren't you going to give him anything?" Minerva asked.
"Why should I? He interrupted us." He looked down at the owl. "He doesn't deserve anything for his rudeness." Albus glared at the owl.
"Just give him something Albus." Minerva sat up in the bed. Albus tossed a lemon drop to the owl but glared at him as he ate the piece of candy. Minerva raised an eyebrow. Albus saw Minerva reaction to the lemon drop and smiled in achievement. Albus turned his attention to the letter and realized it was from their daughter.
"It's from Adrienne." As soon Albus had said the name of their daughter, Minerva jumped out of bed and snatched the letter from his hands. Albus smiled. Minerva tore open the letter and threw the envelope to the floor. She then began to read it to herself. As she read she raised an eyebrow. She looked back at Albus and handed him the letter.
Dear mum and dad,
I can't wait to see you both tomorrow. And I'm looking forward to the party. I was hoping that you would allow me to bring a friend along with me. His name is Demetri Chambers and he's very sweet. And I hope that you say yes because he really wants to meet you both. And who can blame him? You are the best of the best.
I love you both,
Adrienne
Albus smiled and handed the letter back to Minerva. She placed the letter on the nightstand. Minerva looked at Albus and he looked back at her.
"What do you think?" Minerva asked. Minerva had worried about Adrienne's love life. She picked the worse kind of guys. Some that would try to control her or perhaps cheat on her but there was always one that was worse than all the rest. His name was Nicholas Bane. Adrienne was hoping to marry him but after getting engaged to him, he started to beat her constantly. Of course after awhile Adrienne told her parents and well, Albus took care of him. And no, Nicholas was not killed, but he was very close.
"You can't say no, Minerva. She wants us to meet him. And who knows? He might be a very decent young man. And since she is stubborn like her mother, she might come here and beg." Albus smiled.
"I am not stubborn. And neither is our daughter." Minerva said. Albus giggled and was lightly punched for it. "Go ahead and tell her that she can bring this Demetri along." Minerva smiled and left him to take a quick shower. Albus wrote a letter to Adrienne saying that it was okay for Demetri to come and sent the owl on its way. Minerva got out of the shower wrapped in a towel and Albus gave a loud wolf whistle. Minerva threw her towel at him but he ducked. She ran back into the bathroom. Albus sat on the bed and toyed with his beard.
"You know my dear?" He smiled to himself. "You would be a wonderful nudist." Minerva threw another towel at him. "Fine, don't be a nudist. I love you just the way you are."
Minerva quickly got dressed and sat next to Albus. "What if he turns out to be like Nicholas?" Minerva wondered.
"Well if he does, I'll have to kill him. It's as simple as that." Albus smiled. Albus held out his hand and they head for the kitchen.
The kitchen had a small table for two. They normally used it when there were no guests. If there were any guests they would eat in the huge dining room.
Albus sat looking at the Daily Prophet. Minerva sat across from him. He looked over the paper, his eyes twinkling. Minerva rolled her eyes. "What is it?" Minerva asked.
"It's seems that your mother has a column about our anniversary." Albus chuckled. Minerva eyes widen.
"Are you serious?" Minerva asked in disbelief.
"Yes. It's really on here. It says that our anniversary is three days and that I'm lucky I'm not dead already." Albus said. Minerva took the paper from him, and he wasn't joking. Her mother had seriously put them in the paper. Minerva gave Albus his paper and covered her face. As if her mother could be any worse.
Food appeared on the table and Albus and Minerva began to eat their breakfast. "What if he changes her?" Minerva asked randomly.
"I don't think you or your mother would allow that." Albus said making Minerva smile. "If you don't, Adrienne surly won't. You can't change someone like her. She's too stubborn. This is something she gets from you by the way."
Minerva rolled her eyes. They ate their breakfast, chatting about some plans for the school and where the photos might be. Minerva still thought about this Demetri boy. It seemed that she couldn't stop questioning if he was good enough for her daughter.
After breakfast they decided to try and find the photos of the wedding and everything else. They searched the bedrooms, closets, and the basement. The only place that was left was the attic. It was a bit dirty and there wasn't any light. Albus whispered a spell and pointed his wand. The room lit up and the looked for anything they could hold so many photos. They found a rather large chest. They opened it up and there were thousands of pictures, some fell out any way they could. Minerva sat down on the floor and Albus joined her. So many memories came flooding back.
They both smiled at the memories. Some pictures were taken before marriage and some after. Many of them were photos taken of Adrienne throughout the years. Minerva picked up one of her and Albus. She smiled. It was the first day she began working at Hogwarts. It had Minerva coming through the staff room and everyone there. Albus had given her a bear hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Do you remember Adrienne's graduation?" Albus asked and hand a picture to Minerva. Adrienne was waving and smiling and Minerva ran up behind her and gave her a hug.
"What about this?" Minerva asked. It was a picture of Albus having a snowball fight with Adrienne. Adrienne was only six years old then. Minerva had yelled at Albus and Albus waved in the photo. A large snowball then hit him. His face was covered and Adrienne fell backwards laughing.
Albus chuckled and handed another to Minerva. It was when Minerva was pregnant. It had Minerva walk into the house. Minerva looked at Albus and started yelling at him to put the camera away.
Then there was one picture that should have been burnt. It was a picture taken when Nicholas was over during Christmas. He had his arm wrapped around Adrienne. Nicholas arm went further up her back and Adrienne winced. It was one of the places that he had hit her. She kept smiling though. Minerva laid the picture down and stood up.
"I'm going to tell mum about Demetri." Minerva left the table and headed for the chimney. Albus shook his head. Minerva wouldn't be back till night now. Of course he could always take a stroll by the candy shop or even perhaps Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
This would have been done way faster if I didn't keep adding on. But oh well.
