A/N ~ Okay, I have no idea where this story is headed anymore. I mean chapter 13 was totally unexpected, it just kinda flowed from the keyboard. I mean now we have to have Remus, Sirius and Harry make up. And Minerva is mad at Remus now so that's a problem. Ok, I suck at righting conflict. I am just typing randomly, hoping that inspiration will hit me. Hmm, now I must sing. Run away run away. Ok, I've got it. Off we go, hang on tight!
Disclaimer ~ Nothing is mine, I wish it was, but hey. It all belongs to the god-like JKR. Oh, and I don't know if this part will be in this chapter, but part will belong to Lori.
Chapter 14
Harry watched Hermione walk quickly into her room, clearly holding back tears. Harry went in and put his arms around her. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Why can't they just be happy for us, why is everyone angry." Hermione asked, still sobbing. They talked for a little bit more, before falling asleep in each others arms. (Ok, I know I've used it before, work with me people. WRITER'S BLOCK).
~~~
Minerva stormed into Remus's room, obviously furious. "Remus Lupin." She said in icy tones. "How dare you do that to them. They are in love, and they are getting enough grief from the other students and that insufferable Severus. They respect you, how could you lecture them on not being responsible. How could you try to make them feel guilty. And how could you try to use Harry's parents against them." Her voice was rapidly rising in volume. "That girl has more than enough on her plate without you adding to it." She paused for breath, her hands on her hips and her dagger sharp eyes glaring at him.
"Minerva -" Remus started.
"Don't you 'Minerva' me." She said. "Oh I know how much they are like Lily and James. I know all about what happened their seventh year. That was my first year as a teacher here. And I know that you're worried about what that could mean, especially because no one knows what happened to Voldemort after that last battle." She said, correctly reading his next thoughts. "But that was no reason to take it out on Harry and Hermione!" Minerva finished sternly.
"Yes, I know, I'm mad at myself. Harry gave me a good talking to before he left. He called me a hypocrite for dating you and then lecturing them about what he and Hermione did. Then I thought about it, and he's right. I thought that I was protecting them, but all I did was make them hate me, and make Sirius feel awful. He feels awful about not being there for Harry. Ok, so it's official, I was wrong. They were right. And of course, you're right. You're always right." He said, kissing her fingertips.
"Of course, I thought you knew that. It comes with being evil Professor McGonagall, deputy headmistress. All the kids hear horror stories about how mean I am before they even come."
"Oh, I don't think you're evil, or scary or mean." Remus said gallantly. "I think you're sweet and wonderful and adorable. And I wasn't scared of you when you came our seventh year." He sat down on his couch, pulling her down next to him. "I distinctly remember commenting to Sirius and James about how cute our new transfigurations professor was."
"Well so much for the mean professor McGonagall reputation." She said, sitting down in his lap.
"Speaking of reputations, I can personally vouch for the fact that your reputation as a nun is false." Remus said.
(A/N ~ ok, I'm leaving now. I seriously did not plan on that going there! This is the last time I just sit down and write. My characters just go and do things that I don't expect. I quit. The characters seem to be doing just fine without me. HA! Now they are crawling back, they know that they can't type the story without me. I have won this battle of power over this fanfic. Wahahaha)
A/N ~ Okay, I was going to add more, but I think I'm just going to jump ahead to graduation. I don't know. Oh, this is killing me and no one is home to call and consult. Lets see, Shannon is at some retreat, Katie is in Wisconsin, Laura is in Florida, Katie D. is in um, I don't remember, somewhere visiting her aunt, and I am at my computer at 12:04 am trying to make my own decisions. Grrr. Ok, I'm going to post this, yes I know it's short. I'll get the next chapter out soon. I just needed a make up (or out, in Lupin and Minerva's case) chapter. Look for Chapter 15 soon.
Ok, I know that I just put up chapter 13, so no one has reviewed. But please review and give me ideas. I am so lost. Review! I can't say it enough.
Thank You to ~
Pie ~ Thanks, I thought it turned out okay as well. And no one is going to die, I cry when people die, and I can't type and cry at the same time.
Zippo ~ Exactly. You have put it my point into a concise verse. (Is that possible to do in a tree? Shannon mentioned something about that the other day. Hehehe)
Griff ~ No one will die. And I will read your story. I promise. Like tomorrow when it's not 12:17 am. ::Yawn:: I hate killing off characters. I would never do that to My Harry or Hermione. Now other characters I don't have such qualms about killing. (note to self: kill Ron) j/k
Hermione Potter ~ Yes may the good ship H/H forever sail. That is exactly how my story should end. With Mrs. Hermione Potter. And yes, my story does rock. (Corinne Cassandra has a big head) not really, this chapter sucked, but hey, I'm blaming it on the evil monster that lives in my closet.
