(a/n - I must again stress that I own nothing to do with harry potter and his magical world, it is all j k rowling's except the ideas for my stories. And this is a follow up from always look for the obvious, so if you didn't like that fic I would suggest that you don't read this. Though you could give it a go since this is different from that fic in some ways. Also, this plot contains some more, erm, mature themes, so if you are uncomfortable with mmad doing stuff, then I would suggest you read no further. I feel I may be rambling now but, ah well, c'est la vie as the French would say. Please R and R. I don't mind constrictive criticism, hell, I need it since I can't exactly write good stuff. Just please don't throw flames at me, or I'll direct my flamethrower right back at you! Mwahahahaa! Ahem! Okay then, on with the show! Ps, please read my other fanfics. Love you all! Now read. Stop distracting me. And read.)
Chapter 1 - Hands and Faces...
Their foreheads touching, their hands clasped together, Minerva and Albus stared into each other's eyes before leaning into each other for a kiss. They were both nervous, for the other's welfare. They were both about to head into the most dangerous conquest of their lives, but they knew that together, they could do it. Together, they could defeat Grindelwald.
As Minerva deepened the kiss Albus moaned in pleasure. He couldn't believe that he hadn't seen sooner just how in love with Minerva he was. Their hands began to cup their faces and run through their hair. Eventually, they stopped. Albus sighed inwardly. That's all they ever did. Stop. His tongue loved to explore the green eyed witch's mouth, just as her mouth longed to never stop exploring his. However, they had only been together for around a half a year, and already they realised how important it was that they defeat Grindelwald before he got too strong.
Minerva had thrown her heart and soul into the efforts to catch the darkest wizard of all time. He had, just over 6 months ago, killed her parents. Albus was the only thing that kept Minerva living and breathing nowadays. You could call it maturity, or overwhelming self control, but the both of them had managed to keep their relationship undetected, and get had also managed to refrain from venturing any further than passionate kissing. As much as they desired to wrap their arms around the other person and spend a night doing nothing but the one TRUE wonder of the universe, the pair managed to stop themselves as soon as the kisses got too intense. Truth be told, they were both rather nervous about the prospect of failing that particular task and losing the other because they couldn't perform in the bedroom. Albus was quite a bit older than Minerva, but in wizarding terms he was barely a middle aged man. In fact, he was still young and in his prime. However, he had never actually gotten as close as he had to Minerva with any woman before. The same went for Minerva, though younger than Albus, in fact, she was only in her earlier 20s, and though she was extraordinarily pretty, she had never felt anything for men before. At least, not like she had felt about Albus.
After they had finished kissing passionately, the couple got down to their business for that evening. Had they said that particular phrase to other staff members, their colleagues would have covered their ears and walked away. However, since Minerva and Albus didn't plan on having sex anytime soon, they were simply going over their final plans to defeat Grindelwald.
The plan involved Minerva following the dark wizard wherever he went, and Albus was going to put in a surprise appearance when they were sure that they had gotten him cornered. Hopefully, it would all be over by the end of the summer holidays, which were just beginning. Now, all they had to do was put it into action.
