Albus Dumbledore stirred and blinked drowsily as he returned to full consciousness. The warm sunshine streaming through the windows painted the room in shades of butter and gold. He yawned and stretched a little, taking care not to disturb his companion.
Minerva McGonagall lay with her head on his stomach, dozing lightly. Albus reached out and stroked her soft hair, admiring the subtle coppery tones brought out by the sunlight, and savouring the heat of her body as it lay next to her own. Minerva opened her eyes briefly, then shifted so that Albus could caress her belly. He smiled at the little pleased noises she made, and let his hand roam along her side, up her neck, to that special spot behind her ear. She arched into his touch, sitting up a little so that he had better access. Albus smiled again. Minerva shared herself in this way with no-one but him. He felt greatly privileged to have her company and her trust.
She moved away slightly, and he wondered what he'd done wrong, but then he saw that she was looking at the clock. He felt a pang of disappointment when she leaped out of his lap with a small mew. Albus rose from his chair, watching as Minerva pushed back on her haunches and clawed the carpet, then shifted her weight onto her front paws and stretched first one hind leg, then the other.
" So soon?" he asked quietly.
Minerva returned to human form and took his hands.
" My classes won't teach themselves," she teased gently. " But I have a free hour or two tomorrow, after lunchtime."
Albus smiled. " I do enjoy our naps together."
