Stories of the Hogwarts Sisterhood

Note 1: Ok, like what Freelancer said: My fic, my rules. So instead of 80 years older than Minerva, I make Dumbledore to be 8 years older than her! *grins*
Note 2: Since Dumbledore is 25 years old here, so I am going to make him to be as wild as possible
To flamers: If you want to flame my fic, I have two nasty words for you. If you don't want to hear it, get out of here.
Rated PG for a bit of swearing
Thank you for all your reviews!
Dedicated to my friends in the Albus/Minerva group-Thank you for consoling me.
Chapter 6: A Horrible Nightmare
The next morning during breakfast, Athena didn't see Dumbledore at the High Table. She didn't see Minerva and Wood either. She nudged William, who was sitting beside her. "William, where is Albus?"
William swallowed his toast and said: "Albus has drunk too much last night. Now he has such a terrible headache that he can't get out of bed."
"Hey! Here's come the Woods! Woohoo!" Malfoy yelled from the Slytherin table and the Slytherins laughed as Wood and Minerva came into the Great Hall together and sat down. Both of them smiled shyly and gazed at each other admiringly.
"Good thing that Albus is not here to see this." Don said with a slight note of pity in his voice.
"Why?" Athena asked, looking at William and Don because she couldn't bear to watch her mother talking, or put it in a better way, chatting and sharing her food with Oliver's grandfather.
"Albus likes Minerva, bet you don't know that." William whispered proudly.
"I expect that coming." Athena said.
William looked disappointed and Don looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing." Athena said quickly.

During Transfigurations after lunch, Athena was glad to see Dumbledore at his desk, looking as fit as usual. But then she went pale when she saw him scowling at Minerva and Wood, who came in together.
Minerva, who was sitting beside Athena, still had a dreamy look on her face as she drew a rough sketch of Wood on her textbook. Athena's eyes widened when she saw that and elbowed Minerva when Dumbledore had his back turned.
"What?" Minerva hissed.
"You better don't do that in front of Dad, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood today." Athena whispered.
Minerva snorted. "As if I care."
"ATHENA AND MINERVA MCGONAGALL!" A voice boomed.
Both Minerva and Athena jumped at Dumbledore's loud voice and Athena went even paler when she saw her father folding his arms and glared dangerously at Minerva's textbook. "What the hell do you two think you are doing?"
Athena went speechless and Minerva said quietly: "Discussing."
"No. Discussion. In. My. Class." Dumbledore said slowly and darkly.
Athena gulped and Dumbledore snatched Minerva's textbook from her desk. "And no drawing." He snapped and studied Minerva's drawing. "Hey, Jonathan! Looks like your wife has drawn a picture of you on her textbook." He teased unmercifully and the Slytherins (they were having lessons with the Slytherins) looked at each other and snickered uncomfortably.
"What's wrong with him?" Poppy whispered from behind to Minerva.
Before Minerva could answer, Dumbledore yelled: "What did I say, Miss Pomfrey?!"
Poppy cringed as Dumbledore yelled her surname. "No discussion in your class." She whispered.
"Exactly." Dumbledore said coldly and tossed Minerva's textbook carelessly on her desk. "See me after lesson and 20 points from Gryffindor."
Minerva's mouth dropped open. "You can't do that!" She said angrily.
Dumbledore narrowed his eyes. "Of course I can." He sneered. "If you say just one more word, I will take another 30 points from Gryffindor."
Minerva closed her mouth.
"Good." He said and turned to the rest of the class. "And that goes for the rest of you! Any nonsense in my class and I will send that person straight out of Hogwarts before he or she can say "Quidditch"! Is that clear?!" He shouted like a commander ordering his troops.
"Yes Sir." The class mumbled.
"Good, now back to our lesson." Dumbledore said in satisfaction and turned to his board. Malfoy and Snape smirked at Minerva, who looked as if she had seen a flying rabbit with green horns.
***
After lesson, Athena was the first one who rushed out of the classroom and grabbed William and Don when they came out. "What the hell did Da-I mean, Dumbledore drink yesterday?"
"Nothing! Just three glasses of sherry!" Don said.
"Wait, I think he drunk more than that..." William said, trying to remember. "Yeah, he had drunk one glass of vodka, two glasses of gin, and three glasses of sherry. And then Professor Isidis came into the pub...."
"He didn't drink anything weird did he?" Athena asked in fear.
"No."
"Then why is he behaving like that?!" Athena demanded.
"I don't know!" William and Don said.
"Maybe because the thought of Minerva and Wood being together depressed him and something in his mind went snapped." Don snapped his fingers. "Just like that."
"No, it can't be..." Athena said, backing away and shaking her head.
Minerva stormed out off the classroom at that moment and glared at Athena. "I WILL NOT MARRY HIM!" She screeched.
The students (except Mandy, Poppy and Athena) around Minerva stared at her in bewilderment. She burst into tears and Wood embraced her gently. "Hush now, don't cry."
Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherins pointed and made funny noises. William, Don and looked uncomfortable. Mandy looked green and Poppy looked frantically at Athena's reaction. Athena looked pale and then she screamed: "I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!"
"Athena..." Poppy started.
"Get away from me! This is a nightmare, a horrible nightmare! My parents are meant to be together and will always be!" Athena shrieked and ran away from the crowd.
