Author's note: This is my weirdest idea yet! It is about a crush that Mcgonagall has Dumbledore while she is at school as a student.

POV: Narrator

It is Minerva McGonagall's first day as a professor at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. She waits for the students to arrive at the top of a flight of stairs by the great hall. It is her job to lead the first years to the front of the great hall to be sorted into their houses. She remembers being sorted into Gryffindor like it was yesterday. She was so nervous that she would be sorted into Slytherin or Hufflepuff.

~Flash back~ Minerva's POV

We have just arrived at Hogwarts. My older brother Charles says that we will have to cross the lake and hope not to be eaten by the giant squid or its litter of baby squids. I follow the gameskeeper to the edge of the lake and hope that Charles was exadgerating about the giant squid. I get in a boat with 3 other girls and stare in amazement at the sight of the castle. It comes nearer and nearer, until we have reached it. I start walking up the front stair that lead to the great hall. I listen to the sound my shoes make as I clunk up the stair. I wish my mother would have let me get a heeled shoe, not these huge clunky boot-like shoes. When I reach the top of the steps I see (for the first time) a good looking, tall, clean-shaven professor with flecks of gray growing throughout his dark hair.
"Hello students" he began "Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor Dumbledore. In a moment you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. Before you sit down you will be sorted into your houses. Students, Follow me." At that moment the doors to the great hall opened.

~Flash Forward~ Narrator's POV

Minutes passed and soon the first years walked up the stairs to be greeted by Minerva. She stood there trying to look superior and confident, though she was frighten beyond belief. As the students halted in front of her she surveyed the them they looked the same as they did in her day; short and frightened. But there was on student in the back who was oddly tall and large. He had a lump in his robes thay Minerva was sure was a toad.
"Hello Students" she began "Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor McGonagall. In a moment you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. Before you sit down you will be sorted into your houses. Students, follow me." At that moment the doors to the great hall opened and she led them to the front of the great hall. After the sorting was done, Minerva sat down at her place on the staff table. Right next to Professor Dumbledore.
"Good job, Minerva," he said in his low raspy voice.
"Thank you, Albus" She answered as an unusual tingle went up her spine.
