It seems that I put more effort in the second chapter. So deal with less detail for this chapter. Believe me you won't be disappointed!
A Teenage Romance
Chapter 1
"Severus?" Severus looked from doodles of Harry Potter falling off a cliff to see Poppy tying a yellow bow to a large orange box. "Have you gotten anything for Albus and Minerva?" Severus opened his mouth but Rolanda had decided to speak for him.
"Please." Rolanda snorted. "Do you really think Severus actually would give a gift to them? The overgrown bat doesn't care about anyone to do something like that."
"I'll have you know that I brewed something for them. So please shut that mouth of yours" Severus looked back at his paper. He smiled to himself and then drew himself laughing at Harry Potter. He turned to the next page and began doodling.
"What did you brew?" Filius asked curiously.
"An aging potion." Severus said as he once again drew a picture of Harry dying. This time he fell into a shark tank.
"Well there is nothing like saying you're old, here's some aging potion on your anniversary." Rolanda laughed.
"Minerva is only in her fifties and still likes like she is at least thirty-nine. Well without the bun and the black baggy robes. And Albus is just fine with his gray hair. Minerva thinks he makes him more mature." Pomona wrapped flowers together with a ribbon. "I don't think they have to worry about age."
"It's not that kind of aging potion. It's to turn them into kids again so they can have a teenage romance."
"Awww."
"Severus that is so sweet of you." Poppy smiled. Severus rolled his eyes.
"What a load of dung." Rolanda said. "Why would you do something like that for them?"
"When we were talking last week during dinner, Pomona and Filius were talking about how they fell in love during school. Poppy told her story of teenage romance. And I could see that Minerva wish she had a teenage romance but she had a crush on a certain teacher. And they could never have it for their age difference. I'm only doing a small thing for them. It's not that big of a deal."
"I think it is a big deal and very cute." Pomona said and Poppy shook her head in agreement.
"When do you plan on giving it to them? The anniversary is today and the next day the students come and Minerva will not be willing to take it when students are here. And she will think it terrible if the headmaster or deputy is not able to fulfill their jobs for something, ummm, how would Minerva say it?"
"A waste of time." Pomona said.
"Idiotic." Filius suggested
"Irresponsible." Poppy giggled
"Well you get the point." Rolanda smirked.
"Well that's why I'm slipping it in their drinks the tonight before the students arrive."
"What!" The professors chorused.
"Well the potion has their names changed. They will think they are kids again. They'll be placed in Gryffindor. They'll be like transferred students."
"And the children?"
"They'll get suspicious if both the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress are missing."
"And Hermione and the boys? They're noisy and Hermione is very bright. What if she finds out?" Filius asked.
"I think Hermione won't say anything really. Minerva is her favorite teacher. She might just let it slide" Severus smiled.
And the other students?
"Well we will say they have Ministry business. It has happened on rare occasions that both be called to the Ministry."
"How long before they turn back?" Filius asked.
"I don't know, about a month or two. How long does it take to have a teenage romance?"
"A good five months perhaps." Poppy said. "A true romance though."
"But the Ministry, what if they do need Albus or Minerva?"
"Well Lucius is actually helping me with that. Of course I didn't tell him the real reason but Minerva and Albus are supposedly going to Romania to help Minerva's cousin with seven escaped dragons. And if time is running short then they are also going to be solving a vampire situation on the east coast of Africa."
"You really thought this through haven't you?"
"I would do anything for Albus and Minerva. They're like family."
"Awww."
"Oh stop it Poppy." Severus glared. "Just because I decide to give them this gift doesn't mean I'm turning soft. I see that if I do this for them I won't have to get them a gift in the future."
"Sure Severus." Poppy smiled. "Whatever you say Severus."
"Now what did you guys get for them?" Severus tried to get of the fact that he may me getting soft.
"Well I got them a new pet." Poppy shouted.
"Is it in that box?" Rolanda asked.
"Yes." Poppy answered.
"Poppy you can't leave an animal in a sealed box!" Severus yelled.
"Oh calm down. It can hold it breath for seven hours. It's a Quiggle."
"What the bloody hell is a Quiggle?" Pomona asked.
"It is a dog combined with a cat, and a fish, and a bird. All pets in one really. I got it for them for the fact it can hold its breath. Albus could have a normal pet after Sammy."
"True." Severus said.
"What happened?" Filius asked.
"Well you know that Albus had a dog about three years ago?"
"Yes. I never asked why he hadn't come back to the castle, but I thought it wise not to say anything."
"Well Albus and Sammy were playing by the pond and well he threw the ball and it fell in the water, Sammy went to get it and… Well let's just says the ball came up eventually but Sammy didn't.
"That's absolutely horrible." Filius said.
"Not really." Severus said.
"If a pet drowns I think it would be horrible Severus."
"Who said anything about drowning? He was swallowed by the great squid and Sammy refuses to leave because he likes it in there." Poppy said.
"What?"
"The squid swallowed him because he liked Sammy and so he now is the owner of the dog."
"And that's why I got him a Quibble. Quibbles never wish to be in the possession of another."
"Oh."
"So what did you get them Pomona?"
"Well I am giving them some beautiful rare flowers and tickets to see an opera of acte d'amour. I have no clue what it is but they want to go so…"
"That's sweet. So how about you Filius?" Poppy smiled.
"Well I got a series of books for Minerva and a tinker doodle for Albus."
"What is a tinker doodle?"
"Well when you drip it with water it starts dancing and its feet are actually sketching a memory of your past. Only good memories though."
"Well those are fabulous gifts."
"Thank you."
"So when are they coming back from their date? The Quibble can only stay in that box for another hour and sixteen minutes."
"A what?" Albus asked as he opened the staff room doors. Minerva looked curiously at the wrapped presents.
"We told you we didn't want presents." Minerva said as Albus helped take off her clock.
"You may not want presents but I do." Albus chuckled. He put the clocks in the closet and sat on the floor in front of the box. "Can I open now?" Albus asked smiling.
"Well it is your anniversary." Poppy giggled.
Albus opened the box and a cute creature stretched and jumped on Albus's lap and snuggled and began to sleep. "He is wonderful. I'm going to name him Rupert." Albus scratched the back of Rupert's ear. Minerva rolled her eyes.
"Here you are Minerva." Pomona gave her the rare flowers and an envelope. She smiled and when she saw the opera tickets she practically jumped up and down. "Albus it's the Acte D'amour!"
"Don't forget my gift!" Filus smiled and handed a teal box to Minerva and a purple box to Albus. Minerva opened the box and hugged Filius.
"Just what I've been looking for, thank you." She smiled and Albus chuckled.
"Look dear. It's a sketch of you on our honeymoon." Albus was about to show when Minerva snatched it and forced it in her box. Albus chuckled.
"Don't forget mine." Rolanda pulled out a two thin boxes.
Minerva opened her gift and shut it quickly. "Lingerie! Why on earth…"
"What kind of gift are chains?" Albus asked.
"Albus think about it. Lingerie and chains." Severus laughed.
"Oh…" Albus looked up at Minerva. "I take it back then."
"Albus!" Minerva shouted and the other laughed.
"Don't knock it till you try it my dear." Albus simply smiled.
"I got you something as well." Severus pulled out a bottle of wine. "Great year and great taste." He opened it and two glasses appeared. Severus gave them both a glass.
Minerva looked not too sure what to think. "You didn't poison it did you?" She smelled the divine wine and took a sip. Albus did the same.
"It's just a simple aging potion." Severus smiled.
"A what?!" And both Minerva and Albus fainted.
"You're in a lot of trouble when they change back." Rolanda stepped beside Severus.
"When am I not in trouble with Minerva?"
Muhahaha!
