FanFic 100 Challenge #:: 065- Passing

Don't Blink

Don't blink, or you will miss it. Watch carefully now.

Did you see it?

There in the Headmaster's eyes. It is a yearning, a longing to simply be able to tell the world of his love for Minerva. Decades of a secret matrimony has passed, but who knew? No one knew, because that would have been too dangerous. For that, there is regret left in Albus's eyes. Don't blink, or you'll miss it.

Did you see it?

Don't blink, or you'll miss the mere flicker of a smile on Minerva's face. To you it may seem insignificant, but to Albus, it means the world. If you have listened to others tell you that Minerva McGonagall is nothing more than a strict, stern, tight-laced individual, you are missing out on everything that this woman truly is. She is a wife, a lover, a caregiver, and she means the whole world to Albus Dumbledore.

Don't blink.

Did you see the way their fingers briefly intertwined under the dinner table? He placed his hand gently on her knee, and she placed her hand within his. That moment was for them and no one else.

Don't blink, or you'll miss it.

Did you see the flutter in the shadows? That was Albus taking Minerva by the hand, sweeping her away to their rooms for the night.

Perhaps we should intrude no further.

Watch for them as you are in this castle, and if you should see either of them in passing, you may be able to discover more of their secrets.

Be careful and don't blink, or you'll miss it.

THE END

A/N:: Should I go into hiding, or what? I know that was terribly annoying. Sorry!
