Chapter 2
Thank you all for waiting so patiently I have been pretty busy but I am going to try to get back oon track sadly though I won't be able to update again till after the 14th :(
Also I would like to thank EmPoweredBeing for betaing this chapter for me.
"Albus, wake up! I need you in my office in five minutes!" I said, hoping my voice had a sense of urgency to it.
"Fine Min, but why?"
"I will explain, in my office, in FIVE MINUTES."
I left before he could ask any more questions, I knew it was rude to just drag him out of bed, but at that moment there were far more important things on my mind. I hurried on my way to Gryffindor Tower to wake Potter and Weasly. I was furious that they would treat their best friend in such a manner, and I certainly didn't care that it was four in the morning. I was going to get some answers and I was going to get them now.
"Weasley! Potter! Up now!"
Harry, along with every other boy in the room, jumped up instantly. The red-head was still soundly asleep mumbling something about spiders and tap dancing. I stormed over to his bed, grabbed him by the ear, and dragged him out of bed.
"Bloody He- P-Professor w-what are you doing here?"
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, put on your dressing gowns; we are going to see the Headmaster."
"Wait here," I conjured two chairs just outside my office door, "I have to talk to the headmaster."
As promised, Albus was waiting for me, and he had clearly spent the time pacing in front of the fire.
"What has happened Minerva? What is wrong, you look like you are about to cry, please, tell me what has happened?"
His words were the final straw, and I burst into tears letting them run down my face as I proceeded to tell him what had happened.
"Albus, she tried to jump off the Astronomy Tower; she tried to kill herself Albus! I didn't notice the signs, I see her every day and I didn't notice the signs. She means the world to me Albus I shouldn't love her but I do."
"Shhh, Min it's okay, I know. Go to her, I will talk to young Mr. Potter and Weasly," I nodded, blew my nose and walked out not caring that I looked a mess, or that my eyes were red and puffy.
"Potter, Weasley, the headmaster would like to see you."
"Poppy?"
I entered the infirmary carefully, not wanting to wake Hermione. During my absence she had fallen into what looked like an uneasy sleep.
"Poppy where are you? I need to discuss with you Miss Granger's care with you."
"I am in here Minerva," called Poppy from her office.
I walked in and sat down in a chair in front of her desk and sighed deeply. The next couple of weeks would be very interesting.
