Bait!
"Minerva, darling, will you talk to me?"
Minerva glanced at him contemptuously. "You use my student as bait and you suffer the consequences, He could have been killed, that dragon and it bloody well escaped. You idiot, Harry Potter is our best hope and he is as good my grandson. You want me to talk to you, use some one else as bait!"
Minerva strode out of their rooms and over her shoulder "I hope your old bed is still made up."
Albus winced she knew he slept the worst when she was away. What he didn't know as that she was suffering just as much. She hated sleeping away from him but if he was going to use one of her favourite students as bait he would suffer.
Albus left their rooms forlornly. He just tried yet again to catch Minerva to talk to her but she was out. He hated rules, he hated Barty Crouch hell he hated the tournament. He couldn't hate Harry though, Minerva was right they both considered him as good as a son or grandson. He wanted to hold her as she slept again. He missed her so much when he or she was away. He dragged himself up to his office and sat heavily down. He hadn't slept in weeks, tossing and turning. Everyone was suffering from his lack of sleep he didn't realize that they were suffering Minerva as well. He didn't see enough of her these days.
One Week Later
Albus collapsed in his office. Flitwick found him when he came up to give a report. He immediately sent for Minerva. She came rushing up; she gave a small cry when she saw him on the floor. She knelt down beside him and checked his pulse. She looked up, distraught, at their old friend Filius, "Could you get Poppy to come to our rooms?"
Flitwick nodded "Of course Minerva, you get him to bed; it is probably lack of sleep. He hasn't slept in weeks. Why did you kick him out? What did he do?"
Minerva blanched and winced "I was furious about Harry."
Filius nodded in understanding, it was common knowledge that Harry Potter was Minerva's favourite. They all knew how angry she had been over his competing.
She levitated her husband without a word and walked him through to his old rooms and the mirror that served as a doorway to their shared rooms. She muttered the password and walked him through. She walked him over to the bed and put him down. He muttered incoherently when she did it. She smoothed his brow and calmed him down. When he was reasonably relaxed she transfigure his clothes into pajamas. Poppy came running, she was in the rooms in record time and wasted no time waking him up. He came around slowly; he stared around as he regained his bearings. He smiled slightly at Minerva and joked quietly "So I'm forgiven?"
Minerva glared at him "Next time you want to be forgiven beg, don't kill yourself, I still love you regardless of your stuff ups."
Poppy left quietly, Albus was in good hands.
He smiled weakly.
"It is nice to know you will be missed if something happens to you!"
Minerva gasped and said "You…you"
Albus smiled tears in his eyes "I love you Minerva and if you forget that I will die!"
A/N Short and Sweet I know it isn't particularly well written but hey it was such a random plot! I had a really good long story line mapped out and then I wrote this and was like 'That's all it needs'. I hope you liked it!
