I have missed you all dearly! But, of course, I was slightly distracted by European men and women…They do look nice,
I wish I owned Potterverse…But, alas, J.K. does.
Ch.7Hermione rubbed her eyes and tried to stretch, but her movements were hindered by emerald clad arms. She stilled, hoping she hadn't wakened the sleeping form beside her. She shifted slightly, turning to look at the beautiful woman sleeping soundly beside her. 'She's so beautiful.'
Minerva stirred, slowly opening her eyes. Chocolate eyes met emerald and Minerva smiled. "Good morning, Hermione."
Hermione grinned. "Good morning to you, too." She giggled. "I wouldn't have pegged you as a snorer."
Minerva mock glared at the beautiful brunette, lying by her side. "You're not too quiet yourself. Except…You moan more than snore."
It was Hermione's turn to glare. "I didn't say anything…Did I?"
Minerva shook her head. "No. Just noises. Kind of cite, if you ask me." She winked and Hermione blushed.
The younger brunette sighed and rolled over to check the time. "Why must we be cursed with always getting up too early?" She groaned and rolled out of bed. "Ah, well. I suppose it's never too early to get up. Besides," she turned to Minerva. "You still have to get back to your own room before anyone notices you're missing."
Minerva chuckled as she, too, left the comfort of the sheets. "I believe Rolanda will have made sure to ward my rooms in case I did not immediately return." She sighed. "I am lucky to have a friend like her."
Hermione walked lazily around the bed and encircled Minerva's waist with her arms. "Maybe so, but hopefully you will not need her…other services for awhile." A smile flashed across her face before a more serious look overtook it. "Minerva…May I ask you a rather important question?"
Minerva pulled back a little so she could look directly into Hermione's eyes. "Of course, Dear. Anything."
A sigh issued from Hermione's lips. She mumbled under her breath. "Here goes…" She looked up when Minerva's fingers curled around her chin and lifted it.
"I did mean anything."
Hermione smiled. "I know. What I was trying to ask was…" She paused, unsure of how to continue. "Would you be my girlfriend?"
A huge smile graced the older woman's lips and she gathered Hermione into a bone-crushing hug. "Yes. Although…Are you sure about the age…?"
Hermione laughed. "Of course I am. I mean, if I can deal with Snape, I'm sure you'll be no problem."
Minerva glared at her. "Are you possibly suggesting that Professor Severus Snape is scarier and harder to deal with than me?"
Hermione giggled. "After seeing the man in his fuzzy bathrobe, he's definitely not the scarier one. As for harder to put up with, yeah. He's definitely more difficult."
Minerva's laughter filled the air. "If you promise to never bring up that image again, I'll try to be more difficult." She kissed Hermione on the top of her head and then let her go. "I suppose I'll go back to my rooms. I'm sure I'll see you at some point around the castle."
As Minerva walked towards the door, Hermione grabbed her wrist and pulled her around to face her. "I thought maybe since we spent the night together, I could at least get a kiss or something." She grinned cheekily and leaned into Minerva.
A low chuckle reached her ear when Minerva turned at the last moment and kissed her cheek, "Is that satisfactory?"
Hermione growled. "Not exactly what I had in mind. I was thinking something more along the lines of…" She rushed Minerva and slammed her against the wasll. Her full, pink lips captured Minerva's slightly smaller ones in the most passionate kiss either had ever experienced. When they finally broke for air, Hermione stayed pressed up against Minerva's lithe form. "Wow. If I had known you could kiss like that, I'd have started a long time ago."
Minerva chuckled. "I'm usually a very bland kisser. I believe you startled that one out of me."
Hermione pushed herself gently away from Minerva. "I'll seriously let you go now. Have a wonderful day."
"Oh. I definitely will…now." Minerva winked and then used the Floo to get back to her own room.
As soon as Minerva left, Hermione rushed into the Girls' Dormitory. "Ginny! Ginny, wake up!" She jumped on the bed when the younger redhead was barely stirring. "You'll never guess what happened last night…And this morning…"
Ginny rubbed her eyes blearily. "What'reyoutalkingabout?" She mumbled into her pillow.
"I'm talking about Min-Professor McGonagall." Hermione blushed at her slip.
Ginny sat up straight and leant against the headboard. She raised her eyebrows and cocked her head. "You realize that even though it's waaay too early in the morning, you now have to tell me what happened."
Hermione's blush deepened. "Well…You know that she came over last night…" When Ginny frowned slightly, Hermione nodded. "Yes, well, she came in, and she told me everything. Apparently, her and Madame Hooch were something like…friends with benefits. So I proceeded to tell her everything."
Ginny smiled. "I am rather glad you two got everything sorted out. No one likes to see McGonagall and her pet at odds."
Hermione slapped her lightly on the arm. "Well, pet or not…I am her girlfriend…"
Ginny's eyes went wide. "What?! You two are dating now?"
Hermione giggled at the look on her best friend's face, feeling very glad she had remembered to put a Silencing Charm around Ginny's bed. "Yes. It happened this morning. And Merlin...She is the most amazing kisser in the world!"
Ginny's facial expression turned to one of mock disgust. "I really don't think I needed to know that…"
Hermione laughed. "Well, it's true. How are you and Harry doing?"
"Rather well." Ginny sighed. "I would really like to take it up to the next level though. I mean, the most we've done is some serious making out and stuff."
"I'm quite sure Ron would skin Harry alive if he ever found out you guys did anything other than look at each other." She smiled. "Besides…sex isn't all it's cracked up to be."
Ginny's eyebrow raised. "And yes, you still did it enough with Snape." She winked, "And I bet you can't wait to get ahold of McGonagall."
Hermione gasped and turned red. "Well…He was good…But my relationship with Minerva is just starting out. Sex is not the reason I fell in lover with her."
Ginny grinned. "So it's love now, is it?" Hermione's face got, if possible, even redder. "I'm only joking. I know you hold a great respect for her….And her cleavage…I just hope you don't get hurt."
"Thanks, Gin." Hermione hugged the younger girl to her. "But it's not me I'm worried about."
"It never is." Ginny pulled the covers off of herself. "We should probably get going. We need to get to breakfast on time."
Hermione nodded and stood up. "I agree. I'm gonna go change. I'll see you down at breakfast." She gave her friend another hug and then headed to her own dorm.
