The next morning Minerva slept in. It was already 10:00 and her first lesson started at 10:15. Minerva didn't feel like teaching a lesson because she didn't get any sleep that night. She needed a good reason to get out of teaching that day so she decided to visit Poppy.
"Poppy" she said in a tired groan.
"What?" Poppy was wearing her nurse's cape and hat.
"I couldn't get to sleep last night" she answered with yet another
pitiful groan.
"And?!"
"And I need you to write me a sick note" Minerva said
"Go teach your class," said poppy sternly.
"PUH-lease" whined Minerva
"Fine, but just this time. Don't tell Dumbledore I let you do this"
she gave in and wrote out a note.
"Dear students,
I'm sorry to say that Professor M. McGonagall is out sick today. She
will be back soon. During her usual lessons you will have free time to
do whatever you please (rules permitting of course). Enjoy your free
time.
Yours sincerely,
Madam Pomfrey"
"You are going by 'Madam' now?" Minerva asked with a snigger.
" It sounds classier," said Poppy. "I'll have a house-elf bring up
some soup and later your dinner."
" You know I'm not really sick" Minerva chuckled.
"I just don't want you eating in the great hall or everyone will know
you're playing hooky" Poppy explained.
Both witches started to laugh uncontrollably. Unfortunately Albus was
walking by and heard them.
Minerva spent the morning in her room. She slept, read books, and
planned out her lessons for the next week and a half. She was
practicing her lecture on rocks to pointed hats when she heard a knock
at the door.
Minerva slipped into bed and pretended to be resting.
"Come in" she fake coughed.
In stepped a pretticulary small house-elf.
"Here you go miss" said its squeaky voice. " Your soup and a letter
from the headmaster."
"Thank you" she said as the house-elf beamed.
She dismissed him and opened the yellowish parchment. Upon it was
emerald green writing. It read:
"Dear Minerva,
It is unfortunate that you would fall ill so suddenly. I will be
coming around with tea at two o'clock. We can discuss the matter and
maybe set up a substitute.
Get Well Soon,
Albus"
Minerva panicked because it was almost 1:30. She started getting
ready by making herself look ill. She pointed her wand at her face and
mumbled
"Palecio"
Next she made the room look untouched as if she had been in bed the
whole time. Finally she ate the soup and lyed in bed to rest.
The minutes passed quickly and soon enough she heard a knock on her
door. She knew it was him so moaned for him to join her. Albus opened
the door with a cheery smile and a bouquet of daisies.
"Hello" he said in a low warm way "hope you are feeling better than
this morning."
"I'm feeling much better" she answered "but I'm still quite weak"
"Here these are for you," he said while handing her the flowers.
"Thank you" she responded adding a smile.
"So" he started "I talked to Poppy. She says you have been playing a
bit of hooky."
