For those of you who did not understand what Poppy and Rolanda were talking about, I will explain. Rolanda had used her wand making Minerva trip so she would "accidentally" kiss Fred. Sorry for any confusion and for delay. My father took the only computer that allows me to post updates and all that.

A Teenage Romance

Chapter 7

"At first all her detentions were because of her pranks and dueling and now I'm giving her weeks worth of detention for snogging Albus senseless in the corridors." Severus flipped through his book looking for an antidote. Minerva and Albus had been finally together for about two weeks now. Severus was proud that his plan was a success.

"You're not changing them back now are you?" Poppy questioned as she looked over his shoulder.

"You can't now. Let them have more romance." Rolanda sat next to Severus. He glanced up at her and then to his book.

"Don't worry you two. I'm just making it ahead of time. So if any emergency came our way I'd be ready for it. Besides it will take three weeks to brew if I am to do it correctly."

"Have any of you seen Andrea?" Filius butted in.

"No why?" Severus shut his book.

"I was going to help her with controlling her class and she never showed up."

"That's odd." Rolanda looked at Severus who was lost in his thoughts of the possibilities.

"I hope she's alright."

Sybil walked unsteadily through the corridors. She had a empty bottle of fire whiskey in her hand and a crystal ball in the other. She leaned to far to her left and slammed into the wall, her ball fall from her hand making a loud thud.

"Oh thank Merlin!" Sybil jumped as she heard the female voice. She looked around the corridor and no one was there. "Sybil you idiot!" Sybil jumped and grabbed her crystal ball.

"The gods have finally came to punish me for not sharing my whiskey with Hagrid!" Sybil closed her eyes.

"Sybil! Up here you moron!" Sybil opened her eyes and looked up. There on the ceiling, Andrea stuck in what looked like a giant spider web.

"Well how on earth did you get up there, Andrea?"

"Minerva McGonagall, that's who!"

"Keep your voice down you! People don't know who she really is!"

"Oh just get me down!"

Sybil looked in her pockets and then reached in her hair and pulled out her wand. She swished her wand and the web vanished letting Andrea fall flat on the floor.

"Sorry." Sybil jammed her wand in her robes. She tried to help Andrea up but was rudely pushed away.

"I'm going to have a talk with Melanie McDore." Andrea brushed off her robes.

"You can't! This night is very important for both Melanie and Alex and even Severus!" She grabbed her crystal ball off the floor. "I can't let you ruin that."

"Oh well just try and stop me." Andrea pushed past her. Sybil due to fear and distress took her crystal ball and threw it at Andrea, hitting her head. Andrea fell into unconsciousness and Sybil cover her mouth.

"Oh dear." Sybil whispered.

"So where are we going?" Minerva asked. Albus held her hand and led her through the corridors.

"Nowhere special."

"You know we never got to go to the Quidditch pitch?" Minerva pulled him to where he spun back and looked down at her. "Where are we going?" Minerva was becoming inpatient. Albus Moved closed to her, pressing against her. Albus kissed her softly on her lips.

"A surprise." He smiled, his eyes twinkling like crazy. Minerva smiled and Albus pulled her along the halls. She followed him and they sneaked out of the castle entrance and ran threw the schoolyards. Albus took her close to the lake and stopped. He smiled and came up behind her and placed his hands over her eyes. He whispered something that Minerva didn't understand. He leaned closer to her ear. "Are you ready for the surprise?" Minerva was too excited to speak and just nodded her head. Albus removed his hands. Minerva covered her mouth in awe. Thousands of fireflies twirled around in front of her.

Albus took a step in the air. Minerva was fascinated that the fireflies were somehow holding him up. Albus held out his hand and Minerva took it. She was absolutely terrified. She walked up as if on invisible steps. Albus let go of her hand and Minerva grabbed him by the waist, hiding her face in his chest. Albus smiled and raised her head with his finger and gave her a kiss. He took her hands and stepped back. He bowed down to her and grabbed her waist and they began to dance. Minerva with the fear of falling looked down constantly. Albus raised her head and she smiled brightly at him. They dance unaware that they were being watched from the castle.

"Where are you taking me?" Rolanda shouted.

"To the astronomy tower." He said as he sped down the corridors. "And keep your voice down. Do you want to wake up the students?"

"Oh Severus just tell me what you are up to."

"I just want you see something." Severus said as he passed another corridor making sure no one was in the halls. He stopped instantly and stepped back.

"Oh what now!" Rolanda said. She followed Severus. Sybil came out of the room of requirement and was holding her chest.

"Sybil?" Severus started making her jump. "What was that I saw you drag in that room?"

"Nothing Severus." She smiled and took a deep breath. "Just a trunk full of junk that I need to put away for storage." She cleared her voice and straightened her robes.

"I could have sworn that you were dragging Andrea in there." Severus said not sure what to think. Rolanda luckily spoke for Sybil.

"Severus if you don't show me what ever the bloody hell you want to show me, I'm leaving." Rolanda turned ready to go back to the staff room. Severus jumped up and grabbed Rolanda's wrist leading her up to the tower.

Sybil sighed with relief. She fixed her glasses and turned to head to her room. "I need alcohol." Sybil said rubbing her head.

...

"Okay now that were here, what do you want?" Rolanda took a deep breathe of the night's air.

"Look." Severus said. He took her arm and lead her to where he was standing and pointed to the lake. There she saw Minerva and Albus twirling around in the air. Rolanda smiled and looked back at Severus.

"How did Albus learn to do that?" Rolanda asked.

"I told him about a book when he served detention with me last week."

"You are turning soft aren't you?" Rolanda smiled turning to him and leaning against the balcony.

"I'm not turning soft! I just thought that he could do a bit of magic for Minerva."

"Which is far to sweet for the old Severus Snape."

"Well maybe the old Snape is gone and I simply wish to make my friends happy."

"Which I think is very kind of you." Rolanda smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Maybe you aren't the over sized bat I thought you were."

"Maybe I'm a friend?" Severus smiled.

"Oh who am I kidding you're still a greasy git." Rolanda smiled and she left the balcony. Severus smiled and turned back to watch Minerva and Albus.

....

"It's just so adorable!" Poppy squealed. She and all the other staff had been watching from the staff room windows. Hagrid was chuckling. Filius was smiling looking at the two.

"It's so romantic!" Pomona said holding Filius's hand.

"And such a beautiful night." Aurora said dreamily.

Peeves floated above them and was smiling and swaying back and forth. Rupert, the quibble, flew in circles with excitement, and left to inform Fawkes to what was happening.

....

Hermione looked down from her window and smiled. She turned to her bed. She was so happy for Melanie. She did have a slight feeling that Melanie could possibly be Minerva but she decided to put off the thought and enjoy the company of her new friend. She lied in bed, twirling her thumbs. She couldn't help but think of the likeness between Alex and Melanie with Albus and Minerva however. There was just something about them that made her want to find out but for once she had decided that she would not meddle in her friend's life.

Minerva was becoming tired. She laid her head on Albus's chest and they swayed in the air. She had some odd feeling that she had danced with him before tonight. Minerva had so many thought running through her mind. She felt that there was something she wasn't getting something she couldn't grasp. She tried to free her mind of such thoughts and just enjoyed the swaying back and forth with Albus. She felt a drop of water hit her face and raised her head. Albus looked down at her wondering why she had stopped. He looked her and a drop of rain hit his face. It suddenly began to pour down heavily. Albus and Minerva walked down to the ground and the fireflies flew in all directions.

Albus took Minerva's hand and they ran for the castle. It was too far and the rain was picking up. Minerva turned suddenly almost causing Albus to fall. She lead him to a large tree and both of them tried to catch their breath. Minerva looked up at Albus and pulled him closer and kissed him. She broke the kiss breathing deeply and laying her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her waist. They stood there in the embrace of each other.

"I love you." Minerva whispered hoping that Albus wouldn't leave her with such a comment. Albus squeezed her and snuggled closer to her.

"I love you too." Albus whispered in her ear. Minerva closed her eyes and smiled. There was utter silence between the two of them. Minerva and Albus held each other until the rain had stopped. Albus had his hand over her shoulder as the walked and Minerva had her arm wrapped around his waist. They were cold and soaked but both were smiling and hardly cared.

So how did you like it? Was it a bit much? I really don't know. The whole thought of the story was formed because i had this scene pop into my head one night. Sorry for the delay. Dad took the computer again. I hope to get the next one up sooner.
