I wrote this as an answer to Sprinks challenge on the ADMM board. It is a 200 word fic, and i had no idea it would be so hard! The ending is a little abrupt and i am thinking about making it a multi-chapter fic - what do you guys think? Don't forget to review, i really enjoy hearing from you!
Disclaimer: I am not JKR, otherwise i would never have attempted to sink this ship!
Confession
Minerva stared at the chessboard. Normally, she could feel Albus' eyes fixed on her, but today he seemed distracted. All evening his moves had been rash and his conversation next to non-excistent.
"I wish you would put a little more effort in our game, dear." she said quietly.
"What? Oh I am sorry, my dear… I was far away." his eyes were so sad.
"What is it? Anything I can do?" She stretched out her arm and touched his hand.
Albus shook his head.
"No, I don't think so. It has all been such a long time ago." his eyes filled with tears.
"Tell me, love, at least you have a willing ear…" her hand squeezed his.
"I suppose I will never know if it was me or the other one, but during a fight, my sister died of a stray spell." The tears that had filled his eyes, were rolling over his face.
"Your sister?"
"Ariana. Beautiful. Brilliant." His voice was a whisper.
Minerva got up and held him close. "Your love will set her free, my darling." She kissed his hair.
He cried into her chest, she thought about his confession.
What was she to do?
