I do not own these characters. This is my first shot at a Harry Potter fanfic. I'll get better. R&R
The Last Thing
It was the last thing she wanted to hear. Minerva McGonagall felt as though she had just had the wind knocked out of her. It couldn't be. It just couldn't. Her eyes looked at Potter as the words came out of his mouth and knew he wasn't lying. She saw the look in Severus Snape's eyes. How could he have...
In a blink she saw all of their moments together. Professor Dumbledore as her Transfiguration teacher. Him helping her with her amigamus form. Her coming back to teach at Hogworts and his welcoming her with open arms. She loved her husband and it had been a happy marriage, but her loyalty was always to Albus. It took a few short years after her husband's death for Albus to approach about courting her. She agreed in an instant. She saw their dances in his rooms, their late nights wrapped up in each other, and his smile. She saw his smile.
Minerva McGonagall felt a tear run her cheek.
The moment Snape pointed his wand at Harry, she stepped in. As much as she was protecting her student, all she could see before her was Albus's lifeless body. She raised her wand and took aim. In minutes Snape was gone.
The cloaked woman took a deep breath, turned, and waved her wand to light the room to the cheers of the students. She must fight for her and her beloved's school.
