(A/N: This was only supposed to be a one-shot, but it is back by popular demand... This is snatches in the story of the lives of Minerva and Albus. A meaningless fluff filled chapter)
"Excuse me… can you say that again? I could have sworn you said quintuplets…"
"That's what I said… quintuplets…"
"Quintuplets?"
"Yes! Quintuplets!"
"Wow! I mean… Wow! Quintuplets?"
"Is it just me or is there an echo in this room?"
"Ok, ok… it's just… that's amazing!"
"I know… every child is…"
"Yes… but five!"
"Well, that is one of the disadvantages of being an animagus especially of those animals who have multiple births… Some female animagi must be sterilized because of problems that may occur if they aren't… such as beetles and the like… poor women.
Another disadvantage to this is you can't transform while pregnant… it could be detrimental to your and your children's health… especially with five children… it just isn't a good idea… trust me,"
"Anything else we should know?"
"Well, there are special birthing classes you'll need to take along with…"
They finally stepped out of the office a full hour and a half after they had stepped in.
"Minerva, my love," Albus said, hugging her close to his chest, his hand lingering in her long black hair, "You are amazing! Five children! How will we do it?"
"I don't know, love… this is terribly complicated…"
"You'll have to give up teaching,"
She grimaced, "Give up teaching? But we don't have enough money to allow me to…"
"My dear," he said placing a finger on her lips, "You can't… you are an amazing woman, but not with five children. It just isn't plausible, you can resume teaching after the children have entered school or better yet," he said trying to cheer her up, "You could be an Auror! You got full marks in school… you could study up when the children are grown and get a job at the ministry!"
She smiled, "Yes… Oh, you're kind Albus… but honestly… do you think I could? Be an Auror?"
"Well, after the children are grown of course and in school naturally where I can keep an eye on them"
"You don't suppose they'll be identical do you? All five I mean."
"Oh, I don't believe so. Cats rarely have identical offspring, usually because they have the unusual ability of becoming pregnant from more than one…"
"Yes, yes, I know about all that. I was just wondering if they'll be identical because they're from the same..."
"Well, theoretically, because you are part human, they may be all identical, but because you are also part cat, they may be all fraternal. Or, we may have a mix..."
"I wonder what it's going to be like,"
"Very busy," he said kissing her head.
"Mmm,"
"You'll have to move off campus," he said softly.
She stopped walking and looked at him quizzically, "But… but why?"
"Well," he said with a small smile, "You'll not be teaching… not with five children. Besides… have you seen the size of our rooms?"
She laughed, "Yes, not very large are they?" She sighed, "But then… but then, when will we see you?"
"Oh," he said with a twinkle in his eye, "I'll floo home every… Oh… night or so,"
"Can you do that?" she said, clearly astounded.
He laughed, "Of course I can my dear!"
He hugged her, "What? Did you think I'd leave you alone to raise five children by yourself? FIVE CHILDREN?"
She looked shocked, partially at herself for ever thinking it, "No… no… You don't seem like the type that would do that,"
He hugged her closer, "Demmed right!"
"Really Albus, you should watch you language,"
His blue eyes twinkled, "Yes love, only for you"
