Chapter twelve: Take Me Away
He found his beloved Minerva staring out the window. She was trembling violently, obviously crying. He placed his arms around her stomach, in hopes that she wouldn't push him away. He could hear her deep sobs, and felt the utmost amount of sympathy.
Her sobs didn't subside quickly, but she remained there, not moving, breathing loudly.
"Take me away." she said after a few moments of silence. "Take me away from here, away from everything."
He waited a few minutes before he responded. "Minerva, I'm afraid I'm not able to do that at the moment, but if I could, I would. I don't want anything to happen to you, you're worth too much to me."
She turned around, and faced him. She stared up into his spectacular blue eyes, then took in a deep breath. "No. Take me away. Take me away now."
"I know you don't want to be here. I know you've been hit hard with this news, but we can't just leave. It isn't that simple. We have obligations, a family, a school to run, students to look out for. We can't just leave."
"Please." she said quietly "Anywhere. Take me."
He stared at her innocent face. He felt exactly how she did. But he couldn't just drop all of his duties. They had a vacation scheduled only 2 weeks away, that time would have to work, or else greater consequences may be abided.
"I can't now Min. Two weeks...that's all. Just two weeks, and we go to Paris. We can connect again. We can be a husband and wife."
"I want to go now. I can't stand two weeks here. It's too hard." she said, as a tear rolled down her pale cheek.
His hand reached out, and wiped the tear off her cheek. He always had a hard time saying no to her...but now was a vital moment. He had to be strong, 'strength comes from the heart.' he thought quietly to himself. "I know it's hard. But you'll make it. It isn't that bad."
"Albus. Albus." she said quietly, begining to shake again.
"Shhhhh. Come on, let's go to bed. You'll feel better if you get some rest. I have a sleeping draught in the room."
She came quietly, as he directed her towards the bed. She slid through the covers, with a sigh, and stared up at him as he retrieved the potion. It didn't take long, he knew exactly where he put it now, in the bedside bureau. He handed her the bottle, but she just kept staring at him. "Drink. Just take a swallow, that will work just fine."
"Only if you promise that we'll go away. Only if you'll be there when I wake up."
His hands reached out towards her face, and he began to stroke her long hair. She obviously wasn't in a state to fix it, not when she's so distressed. "Oh Min, I promise you, if I were able to leave this second, I would. But I can't, so we'll have to wait two weeks. However when it's been two weeks, we'll leave whenever you want."
"Okay." she said quietly, and she took the potion, resting her head on the pillow with a dreamless sleep. "I love you." Albus said quietly, and he kissed her on the forhead.
