Hey guys, sorry one more chapter before meeting the aunts. Got it mostly figured out and should have the next chapter tonight but no promise. I swear the next chap is going to be the meet.
Also if anyone is curious French word for Fox is Renard so yes, Minerva called her pocket fox Fox.
I own nothing. Review please.
"Renard would you stop? It will happen later today so quit fussing." Minerva huffed at the tiny fox that was on her desk making tiny little sounds at the tiny little cat that looked so much like Minerva in her animagus form.
The tiny fox chirped and laid down beside the still tiny cat and let out a huff that wouldn't have been noticed if Minerva wasn't glaring at the tiny vixen. Rolling her eyes Minerva attempted to get back to her paper work when the door to her office opened and Hermione stomped in. Both pocket fox and headmistress gave the teenager curious looks.
"Ok love?" Minerva queries as the brunette flops into the chair on the opposite side of the desk.
"That was horribly tedious and they had me supervised by some… Cow of a woman called Dolores Umbridge." Hermione grumbled readily, needing to vent.
"Ahem-hem, well at least you're finished now." Minerva demonstrates that she knows exactly who Hermione is talking about and the brunette makes a face of disgust.
"I know! Now two days to relax before I have to stress out about meeting my Aunts and explaining who the bloody hell I am." Hermione huffed and dropped her head back eyes closed and a frown on their faces.
"You will be fine darling but by all means, let's relax. Ren has been driving me mad, she's so like you." Minerva rolled her eyes as the tiny fox chirped almost indignantly.
"So you mean she is completely awesome then." Hermione grins playfully and stands scooping up the fox and heading for the door into Minervas chambers.
"Go get comfortable Vixen, I'll be in in a few short minutes." The older woman smiled fondly as she watched her mate move into the living quarters.
Ten minutes later Minerva walked into her living quarters to see a very relaxed looking Hermione flipped out on the sofa with her Slytherin tie loose around her neck and Renard leaping around her wiggling fingers on her stomach. It wasn't until the young brunette let out a big yawn that Minerva cleared her throat to make herself known.
"I feel unreasonably tired. Those tests were a breeze. Umbridge was exhausting though." Hermione states wrapping her arms around her love when Minerva moves over her on the sofa after placing a small box on the coffee table.
"Take a nap? I'm done with paper work, Ren and I will lay right here with you." Minerva suggests smiling and nuzzling her young loves neck.
"A nap sounds amazing, you sure you don't mind? We don't get to see each other much now classes have started again." Hermione say tilting her head to one side as soft lips trail along her neck.
"Go ahead little fox. I can spend time with you while you sleep." Minerva smiles reassuringly but as she lifts her head she notices Hermiones eyes already fluttering.
"I love you wife." Hermione mumbled a moment before she fell asleep.
Minerva chuckled softly and wondered if Hermione realised she had called her wife as that was something new. With a mental shrug Minerva rested her head on Hermiones shoulder and closed her own eyes.
The couple didn't wake until later when an excited little fox started running in circles on Hermiones belly effectively tickling her awake. The brunettes giggling woke Minerva and they both mock glared the little fox who's tail was wagging madly as she stared at the box on the coffee table.
Minerva seemed to realise what Ren was doing and sat up on Hermiones lap and picked up the box looking in at a tiny grey tabby cat that was looking back with emerald eyes. Smiling Minerva looked to her love and urged her to sit up.
"Come on. I want to know if I got your bonding spell correct." Minerva grins and Hermione rolls her eyes.
"I'm sure you did fine." Hermione smirked but nonetheless reached in and touched the little cat.
The tiny tabby rubbed her face on Hermiones finger as hand and cat was encompassed by a soft green glow. Minerva beamed proudly at her accomplishment. Hermione lifted the affectionate little cat and placed her on Minerva lap beside Renard. The tiny fox excitedly nibbled at the little cat that playfully batted at her.
"She's perfect Min, I knew you'd do amazingly." Hermione leaned in and kissed Minervas cheek.
"I'm glad you have such faith in me." Minerva chuckles and pecks Hermiones lips.
"Well you are very skilled." Hermione points out in a rather seductive tone.
"Indeed I am." Minerva smirks and leans into her love kissing her deeply.
Three days later Hermione was pacing in Minervas bedroom in nothing but an emerald green silk robe while Minerva laid on the bed covered only by sheets as she watched the young woman. Hermione was mumbling nervously as she moved back and forth and Minervas smile was growing by the moment.
"Little fox you need to calm down. They won't be here until lunch time and it's not even breakfast time yet." Minerva points out gesturing towards the window to show the still dark sky.
"I know but… What if they call me a liar? I only have the letter as proof? What if they demand the vault key and tell me never to contact them again?" Hermione voices her concerns.
"We won't know until they get here love but even still you need to calm down. We can handle what ever comes. Come back to bed… Let me take your mind off it." Minerva suggests with a salacious grin.
"Again, you mean?" Hermione can't help her eyes darkening and her mouth going dry when she turns to see Minerva lifting the covers for Hermione to get back into bed and in doing so revealing her gloriously nude body.
Hermione took off her robe and dropped it carelessly on the floor before sauntering back over to the bed and crawling under the covers with her lover. The younger woman gently pushed Minerva onto her back and settled over her looking down at the emerald and onyx eyes.
"I love you, very very much. I'm not even sorry we had to duel and practically destroy your office before we got to this stage." As Hermione spoke she slid her thigh between the Headmistresses which had the older woman biting her lip to stifle any sounds of need.
"You're typically so calm but you've got a temper that matches my own. You get that from your mother." Minerva states in a husky tone.
"Do I?" Hermione grins at this piece of knowledge before dipping her head to Minervas neck and nibbling and licking the sensitive skin there.
"Mm, indeed." Minerva husks out allowing her love more access as she feels a soft hand slither down her body, its destination obvious and Minerva spread her legs a little wider.
Hermiones fingers had just made contact with damp curls when she lurched back off of her love and covered her mouth with her hand. She shot up off the bed and ran into the ensuite barely making it to the loo before her stomach emptied itself. Nothing but frothy bile came up and though she retched for a few moments she was a little glad her stomach was empty.
Minerva had gotten up and taken a couple seconds to grab her own and Hermiones robes before moving in after her lover. She draped the emerald robe around the young witch before slipping into her own dark red robe and then gently brushing the hair from her heaving loves face.
"Gods… I'm sorry baby." Hermione mumbled wiping her mouth on the back of her hand.
"Hush, it's fine. Are you ok now? You've been worrying yourself sick." Minerva says gently with just a hint of chastising in her voice.
"I know, I'm sorry. I was definitely distracted but the damage was done I guess." Hermione groans leaning back into Minerva a little.
"It's ok really you just need to not stress yourself out so much. Everything will be fine darling I promise." Minerva places a soft kiss on Hermiones cheek.
Deciding that the mood was lost the couple decided to take a shower together, washing only, before getting dressed and heading down to breakfast. Hermione had initially intended not to go to classes today but Minerva suggested she attend Potions this morning to keep her mind off of their lunch date. They snuck a kiss before going into the great hall separating to go to their respective tables.
Hermione sat and when the food arrived she opted for toast as a light smattering of jam. The tiny cat crawled it's way out of her pocket and up onto the table where Hermione offered her some tuna that had appeared beside her plate and she silently thanked Twiggy as she watched Mouser eat. After a few minutes the tiny cat lifted its head ears laid back and let out a tiny growl.
"What's wrong Mouser?" Hermione cooed gently not aware of the people behind her.
"Mudblood, where have you been stay? Pansy was looking to give you a little present last night." Draco drawled and Hermione glanced back to see the nasty smirk on his face.
"Oh Draco… you should know better than to think I'd be stupid enough to let you ambush me again. And let's face it, you have to ambush me to get the best of me." Hermione points out casually as the cat continues to hiss and growl from the table.
"You act all high and mighty but you best watch your back Mudblood!" Draco hissed at the brunette and Hermione smirked knowing how much it annoyed the platinum blonde that she didn't seem worried by his threats.
"We'll see Draco. Now if you don't mind is like to eat in peace." Hermione stated before turning back to the table.
A tiny fox dashes down the table between dishes stopping beside the hissing tabby cat and making a small screaming sound that could barely be heard over the noise of the great hall. The tiny fox was the only indicator that Minerva was aware of what was going on. Draco made a sound behind her but before anything else happened a red beam appeared from the front of hall and Dracos wand sailed through the air to land in Severus Snapes open palm.
"Only a fool would draw his wand behind an opponents back in front of hundreds of witnesses Mr. Malfoy. I know for a fact your father would like to believe he didn't raise a fool. Detention for a month." Severus barks out through the now silent great hall.
"You will pay for that." Draco snarled before he and his three cronies stomped back to their seats.
"How can I be related that prat?" Hermione whispers to the tiny companions in front of her.
Rolling her eyes Hermione scooped up the two small animals gently and placed mouser on her shoulder and Ren in her palm. She left the hall and took a detour on her way to the dungeons for potions going first the Transfiguration room to drop off Ren as Minerva had 1st years for transfiguration that morning. Trying not to think about her lunch plans she headed down to the dungeons only slightly comforted by the soft put in her ear.
