3days have past since Albus and Minerva confessed their undying love for each other. They took care to not give their fellow colleagues any hints about their relationship until they saw it fit to reveal anything or if situation really demanded that kind of action to take place.

The new couple only shared their usual grading times and chess as well as a few kisses of greeting and good night. Accompanied by tender whispers of 'I love you!' and quick, stolen glances at each other during staff meetings and meals so, as not to attract too much attention to themselves and to guiltily leave staff members clueless on their coupling.

Rolanda Hooch, Poppy Pompfrey and Pomona Sprout still bothered Minerva to confess her love for their employer and she would just play along acting annoyed and exasperated but, would inwardly laugh at their ignorance on that subject.

Severus Snape, Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt pestered Albus to confess his love for his deputy and just like Minerva he would play along and secretly laugh.

Each night, they would share the events that took place during the day and laugh at them like it was a game going into their favor. It has been their routine for the past couple of days.

"Go and tell him, Min!" exclaimed Rolanda.

She was always the loud one and always so talkative that the only times you wouldn't hear her talking is when she's either eating pudding or sleeping or when she has nothing to say (which is quite). But the rarity of that occurring when she's talking to Minerva was always banished since, as we all know, she's very witty.

"Only when you tell Severus, Ro!" she countered.

"What-…How…-?" she fell silent clearly thrown off guard. Completely flabbergasted and Poppy just couldn't resist throwing in,

"What's the matter, Ro? Cat got your tongue?" they all laughed and to emphasize Poppy's point Minerva whispered a spell that really got Rolanda's tongue and she transformed into a silvery tabby cat holding it in her little paws flicking it around.

"Gib-i-bah!" spluttered Rolanda. "I-cah-ashe-or-pawf-e-or-hur!"

The other girls laughed even harder and Minerva transformed back to her normal human form laughing so hard she couldn't say the spell to give the tongue back let alone breathe. Just then Albus Dumbledore came in and they all stopped abruptly and fell silent. Poppy and Pomona on the couch, Rolanda looking like a child pouting and arms crossed over he chest sitting on the recliner, and Minerva still holding Rolanda's tongue.

All of them, except for Rolanda, stared at him in shock and embarrassment.

"Hank-Gah-Awbuch! Ee-wha-ey-ich!" spluttered Rolanda.

For a moment or two Albus just stared at her in disbelief and his eyes flitted towards Minerva, shocked at seeing her holding a tongue. Minerva took that as her cue to say the spell to reattach it to Rolanda's mouth. She quietly whispered a reattaching spell and the tongue she was holding vanished only to reappear in her mouth.

She then turned to Albus and gave him an apologetic smile which he returned, having recovered from the initial shock that was brought on to him by his professors behaving like children. They all settled down and begun light conversation until Rolanda spat out…(you guessed it) a hairball.

"Now I know how you fell when you get a hairball, Min!"

They all burst out laughing once again officially making it the most interesting part of the day.
