Chapter 3: A Love Triangle

I woke up by Ruby poking me. I was slightly agitated.

"Master wishes for you to get up, Mistress McGonagall," Ruby said, " I have made you breakfast. At least put some clothes on. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, Ruby."

"Why aren't wearing clothes?"

"Ask your Master about it."

She left so I could get dressed. I got dressed back in my nightgown and ran to my room. I put on some regular clothes. I ate breakfast. I went outside to see Severus talking to Iruri.

Iruri was showing Severus his new crossbow. He made a suggestive gesture towards Severus. Severus backed off. H had anger in his face.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I am in love with someone else?" he hissed at Iruri, "I love Minerva."

I blush as he says this. I know now he does really does love me.

"I won't be here during next year," he said, "I will be teaching at Hogwarts."

"You finally got a job?!" Iruri replied, "If Min works at Hogwarts, why is she here them? Doesn't she have to work?"

"It is spring break now," Severus said, "Minerva doesn't need to work for a whole week."

"Haven't you thought of you're future?" Iruri asked, "Don't you want to have children so your family doesn't with your generation?"

"It depends if Minerva wants to settle down with me," Severus said, "If she decides she wants to have children with me, I'll stay home after the children are born and will raise them while she's working. I'll visit Hogwarts and take the children with me and go visit her."

Iruri looked at Severus funny. He shrugged and left. Severus noticed that I was listening to the whole conversation. He walked over to me and kissed me.

"Do you have and answer?" he asked.

"I wouldn't mind," I said, "But we can't have children until we are married."

Severus looked as if he was cooking up a plan. He always had ideas on how to avoid things. He had more ideas than the Marauders themselves. He could always worn out of things easily.

"We could always say it was an accident," he said thoughtfully, "Just come to my bed chambers with me tonight."

Severus then walked into the house.

Ruby overheard us also. Ruby came up to Severus.

"Master, don't you love me?" Ruby asked.

"Of course I love you," Severus said, "I can't love you the same as a human alright. Nothing can replace you. I can't make another android like you."

Severus walked past her. When I came up to Ruby, I said I was sorry. She then slapped me.

"I hate you!" she yelled at me, "I want a real body so Master Severus can love me, too."

She ran out crying.
