Chapter 10: New Sleeping Arrangements
After the jousting tournament everyone retired inside for supper and a movie before heading to bed. Because of Bernard's appearance Katherine had the elves move put the extra bed and put Bernard in Minerva's room.
Albus moved in with Harry and the three youngest Weasley boys; and Minerva shared the bed with her mother.

"That was a bloody good kiss professor," Fred exclaimed as Albus sat on the new bed in the room.
"Thank you Mr. Weasley," Albus grinned.
"I think you and the professor look perfect together," Harry replied.
"I must congratulate you two on the mirror," Albus replied as he got under his sheets.
"That is only the beginning sir. We have explicit permission from you to get creative and we have free reign of McGonagall estate from Apollo," Fred replied.
"Not to mention the promise to not have any repercussions from Katy," George added with a smile.
"One thing though," Fred said as he climbed under his own sheets.
"Yes Mr. Weasley?" Albus asked.
"What ever you see tomorrow…we ask you ignore and carry on," George answered.
"All right then," Albus nodded and turned out the light. "Sleep well boys."
"Night Professor," the four chorused.

"Professor what you did was so romantic!" Ginny exclaimed happily.
She and Hermione were lying on their stomachs on the large bed master bed. They were in their pajamas with their wet hair in French braids. Minerva was sitting in the middle of the bed in a silky emerald green cami and bottoms as she looked through a photo album.
Katherine was propped up on her knees behind Minerva braiding her hair in two French braids the same as the girls'. She was wearing a black silk nightgown and her own hair was in a loose braid.
"It was like something from a fairytale," Hermione nodded.
"I'm still a little embarrassed I did that in front of all my brothers and nieces and nephews," Minerva laughed.
"Ron looked sick watching it," Ginny laughed.
"Ron lacks a vast amount of maturity," Katherine replied as she worked on her daughter's hair, "A pity really."
"Professor if you don't mind us asking…how did you ever date that guy? He's really creepy," Ginny said.
"My uncle introduced me to him almost twelve years ago. I didn't really like him and it all ended when he first hit me. I really thought mother would smite him then and there," Minerva said with a laugh.
The girls giggled as well.
"You know professor it's really funny all the stories your mum tells us about her school days. I mean being label the 'Demon of Hogwarts' is quite the title," Hermione smirked.
"No one will ever break as many school rules as I…I even caused quite a few to be written," Katherine stated with a proud glint in her eyes.
"Amazing then how you managed to raise a litter of rule abiding children," Minerva smirked.
"Well you aren't all rule abiding…and I did grow up…sort of," she laughed.
The other three joined her as well.
The girls spent several hours chatting and gossiping together before they all fell asleep in the large bed.
