Hi folks! I discovered a fun community on LiveJournal called HP_humpdrabbles where they post three prompts once a week; the challenge is to write a piece between 100-500 words with a rating of PG-13 or above. So I thought I'd give it ago and I wrote this piece while I was taking my lunch break last week.

Hope you like this short piece - it just kinda came to me and it has nothing to do with anything else I've written or will be writing although I might do some art work to go with it in the future. I wrote this with Snape knowing he would one day have to murder Dumbledore in mind but really, it could be at any point after Voldemort returns. I'd love to know your thought on this! Comments are very welcome :D

First Cut update: I've taken a sick day today as I'm having some trouble with my legs - very annoying! So it looks like I won't be able to get into work tomorrow either which means I'll have more time to write. Woo! Anyway, keep an eye out for an update; I'm hoping to get the next chapter out today. Fingers crossed!

Title: Early Morning
Words: 500
Characters: Minerva McGonagall/ Severus Snape
Prompt: Crack the Shutters by Snow Patrol
Summary: Written for the HP_humpdrabbles on LiveJournal

I watch you sleep early in the morning. I've lost count of the times I've watched you. You've caught me doing it and asked me to stop, that glint in your eyes telling me otherwise.

You're naked under the sheets and when you roll over onto your stomach you kick the covers down. Your back is illuminated in the blue morning light. My manhood twitches and I can feel it growing hard.

I wait in my chair and I can see a tiny sliver of yellow reflecting on your arm. The day is beginning. You're missing first light. I wave my wand toward the shutters and they open to welcome the sunlight.

I wait for my favourite moment.

Gradually the sun travels across the sky, bathing you in a warm glow. I can see every curve, every line, the evidence that you have lived a full life. You are glorious. As the warmth of the sun increases I know it will soon penetrate your mind. You will awake.

I rise from my chair and walk toward you. I shed my robe and sit by your side naked. I trace my fingers across your flesh. Even after all this time I still yearn for you.

I know you like to wake me in the morning, enjoy my light-hearted attempts to ignore you. But today I take the lead. I want to hold you in my arms, to taste your flesh. I want to see that sleepy smile and dream dazed eyes as you awake to my touch. You roll onto your back underneath me and I feel your amusement rumble in your chest as I latch onto a nipple. Your hands caress my cheeks and brush my hair from my face.

I will miss this.

I will miss you.

The time is approaching. I must soon leave your side and I cannot tell you why. You will not want to see me again and for that I am deeply sorry. I will miss your eyes, your smile and your welcoming voice. I look up into your face and you smile down at me. I burn this memory into my mind; this is how I want to remember you. I hope you look back on this kindly when you learn the truth. I can't imagine the betrayal you will feel. I can't imagine the tears you will shed. I will never forget.

You spread your legs and I push myself inside you. You grip my shoulders. I push deeper, teasing you and caressing your tongue with my own. I can feel your slickness coat me as I move inside you. I can feel your body quivering in delight as I drive you to the edge.

You stare into my eyes, never once looking away as you climax. I love that about you.

I remain inside you, still hard and wanting. I kiss your glowing skin. You hold me to your breasts and I fight my feelings.

Please forgive me.

Remember to let me know what you think... xx
