Minerva McGonagall looked around her office it had been a difficult summer, rebuilding the school after the war proved to be not as hard as she thought it was, her attitude towards other things was taking her attention more than she'd liked. Sighing she began to look at the work pile on her desk she still had a few hours before the students arrived. The students that missed the last year were coming back to finish their studies. This was unnerving the older witch, thoughts then crept into her mind pushing them aside again she continued to look at her work with blue eyes piercing into the back of her head. Sighing again she appeared to have re read this article about four times.
"Albus is there any reason why you are trying to distract me with your stare?"
"My dear Tabby, I was just wondering why you keep on trying to distract yourself from your feelings?"
"Albus... don't start... I have no idea what you're on about." She decided not to argue with the picture on the wall and take the rout of being oblivious.
"I think you do, I say Love conquers all and since you have been having these feelings for a certain someone since their fourth year then what should I say."
"I think you would say that I don't have any of the feelings you are talking about I only care about them because of how much they have been through. More than any other young adult can go through and has been forced to go into adulthood much earlier than I hoped. The last year alone has aged them beyond witches and wizards alone. Now I have to go attend to a few things before the feast so I will no doubt talk to you soon."
Minerva got up from her desk and smiled at the photograph that was just on the left of the pile of work. Luckily the blue eyes behind her didn't notice this. Leaving the room, the picture on the wall looked down on the desk, noticing an extremely happy Minerva smiling and hugging the person who was taking hold of his dear friend's heart. Hermoine was there laughing with the professor at the end of last year after the war.
"My old friend I wish you could see what I see," Albus stated before turning around and began eating lemon drops.
