Summary: After Umbridge tries to get Dumbledore to leave Hogwarts, what truely happens? My take on this infamous moment in HP history rated: PG-13
Minerva McGonagall walked through the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry towards Headmaster Albus Dumbledore's office. Although Dolores had reported earlier that it was sealed shut, an unsigned letter had arrived for Minerva at breakfast, telling her that the entrance to the office was accessible to only a few select. And she was one of them.
Upon reaching the gargoyle that hid the spiral stair, Minerva reached into her emerald robes for the letter which held directions on how to gain access to her husband's workspace. Upon finding the parchment and removing it from her robes, she glanced both ways down the hallway, looking for any signs of movement, then unfolded the mysterious letter. Reading it quickly, she memorized the contents and slipped it back into her pocket.
Minerva reached a tentative hand up to softly stroke the gargoyle's head, all the while murmuring the words "Albus I miss you" under her breath. After feeling completely and utterly stupid for a few moments, the gargoyle raised its head, looked her in the eye, and-in Albus' own voice- said, "I miss you too, Minerva."
Completely dumbstruck, Minerva gaped at the stone creature, not truely believing what had just come out of its mouth. So shocked was she that she almost missed the slight opening behind the creature. Subconsciously, her legs moved her forward, and on she stepped to the spiral stairs and moved towards his office...
Not ten seconds later, Minerva Dumbledore found herself at the entrance to her husband's office. Her dark green eyes were wide, filled with tears at the joyous thought of seening Albus again and her cheeks were pink like a school girl's. Suddenly the oak doors opened and Minerva found herself face to face with her husband-Albus Dumbledore...
A/N: Yea, I know. It's a cliffie, but I kinda want to make this a few chapters and try my hand at that. If that doesn't work, I can always come back to one-shots. Now, dears, please click the little button down there and review. They make me happy!
