Chapter thirteen
'What am I going to do with you Harry?' Minerva shakes her head as she stands up, 'You are like my son and I find out you're getting naked, having sex and anyone that wants to see you, can. I feel like I should ground you and I want to.'
Harry smiled, 'Maybe that's half my problem Minerva, I never had a normal loving parent to say no or ground me when I did something wrong. Those people in that house would always punish me, for things I didn't do. From the time I started at Hogwarts, it was you that would in a way punish me, give me detentions, take points, you were the mother figure during those years. I think that's why I feel so close to you and why I listen to you more than anyone else. This was just one thing I didn't want you to know,' Harry sighed as he stood up, 'The people I work with there, the place, it's all done professionally, it really is just like a job in a way, except I'm naked and have a lot of sex. That's what I can't get Charlie to understand, he keeps lusting after me, here, in the office. I want to keep these two lives completely separate until I can eventually retire that life. But the truth, you're friends found out, told you, so they have probably told others and now my magical world and my muggle world are colliding, it's being known, isn't it?'
'Yes, Dorothy, my friend, I care for her, but she is a bit of a gossip. So I expect that she's told as many people as she knows, which means they would tell people. Just like at Hogwarts, you can never keep anything a secret in that place. If more than one person knows, then the whole school knows. I need the truth from you, you will stop these even if it's not right now which is what I would like.'
'I will, I just need them right now. You know I always come to you, but I really need to start learning to do things for myself, to work out my own problems. I'm an adult and I kept running to you for help and I knew I needed to start acting like an adult and deal with everything myself and I am, just not in a way you would approve.'
'No, I do not approve at all, but I do understand. I saw the way you were when you explained, how pale you were, how sick you looked. Albus was the one that told me to keep a closer eye on you because he knew eventually that bit of information would eventually get to you. But I should let you get back to work, just like I should. Tell me something though Harry, it is you that is donating all that money to Hogwarts?'
Harry gave a sheepish smile as he nodded, 'Yeah, you wouldn't let me give you any more out of my money. So this, you wouldn't believe how much they pay me to do these movies, so almost all of it gets donated, Hogwarts naturally has to get some, well, get a lot. But since I knew you'd never approve of what I'm doing, you wouldn't like the idea of getting money from that. I give to a lot of places Minerva, helping muggle kids with cancer, people that are addicted to drugs, all types of things. This money is helping a wide range of people. So please don't give it back, Hogwarts will always need money, more than the ministry sees fit to give you. People that don't have a lot when they start can now afford new robes and new equipment. Ron used to get so embarrassed about all his stuff because it was second hand. I used to wear all that stuff of my cousins. So if making these movies can help, then let me help, no one has to ever know where the money comes from and if someone ever does, and I know you won't like this, but just say I gave the money out of the Black money, not from these movies.'
Minerva sighed, 'Even though I don't like it, I'll let it go and no one will know where the money comes from, it is anonymous. But now I need to go and you need to get back to keeping our world safe.'
Harry and Minerva stepped out of the conference room, she hugs Harry tight, then kisses his head, just like a parent would do making Harry smile.
'I will talk to you soon, okay?'
'You will Minerva and thank you,' Harry gave her a smile, watched her leave but noticed the other aurors staring at him including his boss, 'She found out about my movies, a muggleborn friend of hers saw them, which means everyone will eventually know.'
'I bet she scolded you,' Ron smirked.
'She did, and wanted to ground me,' Harry chuckled, then shook his head before going back to his desk, 'Charlie, stop it, I said no.'
Charlie groaned, 'Come on Harry, don't be like that.'
'No, I said no more and I have a date tonight, and if everything goes good, maybe I might be in a relationship.'
Everyone heard Charlie groan but in a sad way making them all laugh, 'Harry doesn't think of you like that Charlie, he's right, we practically grew up as brothers. You got to have him a few times, but now it's done, let it go,' Ron said.
'The best sex I've ever had and it's gone, that's so unfair.'
Gawain shook his head at his auror but all the others laughed seeing how dejected Charlie was and Harry going red like always.
'So her friend told her about them,' Ernie said.
'Yes, but she didn't want to believe her because this woman is a bit of a gossip. She saw the interview and where I took the mask off. I figured that's all she saw, but she watched the whole blasted thing,' Harry blushed brightly, 'It was like my mother watching me have sex, damn embarrassing,' with that the whole auror office burst into loud laughter because they all knew they would hate to get caught having sex by a parent and that is how Harry felt about Minerva McGonagall.
The last few years those two have become close and Harry turns to her quite often when he needs advice or someone to talk to. He needed someone that is older and someone that would tell Harry exactly what she thought, not feelings sorry for him even if she did. She would tell him outright, and hold nothing back, which is exactly what Harry needed because it's something he's never had before.
