Chap 5: Lunchtime and a title

When lunchtime finally arrived, Dumbledore arrived to the Great Hall with his gang when he saw Minerva sitting at the girls' end of the Gryffindor table alone. Madeline Hooch was talking to other girls at the further end.

"Just a minute guys, I am going to apologize to Minerva for distracting her during lessons. I will join you later." Dumbledore said and walked to Minerva.

"I doubt that he will come back." Robert Lupin said to Joe Black as Dumbledore walked off.

Minerva was reading her Transfigurations textbook again. Dumbledore walked to her slowly as she was the Manticore.

"Minerva?"

Minerva didn't look up. Madeline saw him from where she was and frowned. What was he doing there?

"I am sorry for distracting you during your lesson. Is Professor Rose mad?"

She turned a page of the textbook and still didn't respond.

"I am really sorry!"

"Did you apologize because you want to give the teachers a good impression?" She asked without looking up.

Dumbledore frowned. "That's insulting! No, I apologize to you because I think I owe you one."

Minerva didn't respond again.

"All right, maybe I should explain to Professor Rose." Dumbledore said and started to march to the staff table.

"Wait, wait! Albus, don't!" Minerva exclaimed as she stood up and caught hold of his arm. "It's all right! Professor Rose isn't mad?"

"She isn't? What about you?"

She smiled and shook her head.

He grinned. "I am sorry."

"You have apologized for 3 times, now sit down." She ordered.

"All right, where did we stop just now? Ah yes, Qudditch." Dumbledore said he sat down.

The boys watched as Dumbledore sat down. "See, I told you that he wouldn't be coming back." Robert said to Joe.

"What's so good about girls anyway?" Wood grumbled.

"Have you seen the school stadium yet?" Dumbledore asked as he took a pumpkin tart from the table.

"Yes, it is pretty impressive." Minerva said as she took a sip from her glass of pumpkin juice.

"You will be more impress if you see the Qudditch match in there." Dumbledore said after he swallowed his tart.

"Great! When is the Qudditch match?"

"Next month. And it is Gryffindor versus Slytherin! Minerva, do you want to sit with me during the match?"

"No thanks, I want to sit with Madeline, Daisy and Georgia."

"Oh." Dumbledore looked a little disappointed and recovered as quick as lightning. "Never mind, I need to spend some time with the boys too."

"So! Together again, isn't it?!" A nasty voice boomed out. Dumbledore rolled his eyes. Not Malfoy again.

The Gryffindor boys froze as they saw Malfoy with Dumbledore and Minerva.

"What is he going to do?" Wood whispered to Don.

"Searches me, if he going to do something nasty, we are going to use Professor Adara again." Don whispered back.

"I don't think Malfoy is stupid enough to fall for that again." Wood said.

Minerva frowned. "What do you want Malfoy?"

"Nothing, just checking what are you and Albus doing." Malfoy smiled unpleasantly.

"Well, we can't do anything while you are here so can you go back to the snake pit where you belong?" Albus snapped.

The Gryffindor boys stared with their mouths opened at Dumbledore. He had never snapped at anyone before, not even when he was in a grouchy mood.

Malfoy stared at Dumbledore with his mouth opened. He closed it again and smiled. "Why should I? So that you two can kiss?"

Dumbledore frowned deeply and when he just about to stand up to tell Malfoy off, Minerva grabbed her pumpkin juice and splashed its content to Malfoy's face.

The Gryffindor boys exclaimed in shock when they saw what Minerva had done.

Minerva slammed the glass down. "Get back to your snake pit, bastard." She hissed angrily.

Malfoy gaped at her. No girls had ever done that before to him. He wiped the juice off his face and stormed out of the Great Hall.

Dumbledore smiled at Minerva and clapped his hands. The Gryffindor boys grinned and clapped as well. The Gryffindor girls, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw students followed suit. Soon the Great Hall was filled with applause. Minerva blushed and smiled.

Madeline ran to her and hugged her saying: "Oh Minerva, I'm so proud of you! Nobody has ever done that to Malfoy before!"

The Gryffindor students rushed to her and William opened his mouth first. "That's great! Miss McGonagall! That will show Malfoy that he can't mess with the Gryffindors! Not even the Gryffindor girls!"

"I think she deserves to be the leader of the Gryffindor girls, isn't that right girls?" A 7th year Gryffindor girl asked.

The girls clapped and cheered in response. The 7th year girl turned to boys. "What do you think boys?"

The boys looked at each other and nodded.

"Dumbledore?" She asked.

Dumbledore smiled. "I don't see any reason why I should object."

"Is that mean the Gryffindor boys and girls are allowed to go together now?" Don asked excitedly.

"If that means so much to you, then the answer is yes."

The boys cheered except for Wood.

"I still think girls are far less attractive than Qudditch." He grumbled but no one could hear him.
