It was dark- after all he'd just finished putting out the lights with his putter-outer, but he spotted the cat instantly.
"Ah, professor Mcgonagall, I thought I would see you here." Dumbledore said knowingly.
The cat icily stared at Dumbledore but said nothing, though he felt the glare keenly. She looked toward the house before coughing out a hairball, Dumbledore got the message.
"Ah, I know they aren't the most friendly of Muggles but it would not do for the child to grow up in fame." He had, after all, grown up in infamous with a Father famous for his brutal murder of three Muggles that had attacked his Sister... It had not been easy, that first decade or two.
The meow startled him out of his thoughts, even as she began grooming herself, licking her 'wrist' where a watch would go and he chuckled "It is good to see how much you value the statue of secrecy when many flaunt it on this of all nights, and I do love charades. Harry will be arriving shortly, Hagrid is bringing him."
The loud rumbling caused Minerva to hiss, Albus calmly stated "That'd be Hagrid now."
"Professor Dumbledore sir, got the tyke here."
"No problems I trust?"
"Nah, fell asleep over Bristol or one of them places- no idea- not sure how I even found this place, Black's motorcycle doesn't have GPS."
"GPS? Ah, never mind, we must deliver the baby- never had I thought to say such a thing, joyous how life finds a way."
Hagrid gave the baby one final kiss saying goodbye to the child and Dumbledore smiled and bid him farewell.
Hagrid got on his bike even as Dumbledore was placing the babe on the steps.
"Coming Minerva?" The thump soon after had him running, but it was too late, Hagrid had ran over Minerva on his passing, and even now was flying away.
Quick as he could he scooped up the cat and apparated to St Mungo's.
"Er, sir, we don't do animals here- you'll want St Fleamount's-"
"This is an animagus, Mcgonagall- Hurry!" Dumbledore shouted at the daft Witch.
Her eyes widened and she quickly started preforming spells in a flurry before drooping. "I'm sorry, she's... gone."
Dumbledore bit back his anguish but he felt more defeated now than ever before.
"MINERVA! You're alive!" Dumbledore shouted running towards the woman.
Mcgonagall rolled her eyes "Why wouldn't I be? Albus, put me down you daft man-stop spinning me around!"
