Ok, here's the next part. LET THE CHAOS BEGIN AGAIN!
~~~~~
Part 15
"No, not now, please don't start now." Minerva begged, but unfortunately, her pleas went unnoticed by the two 6 month old infants who began to cry.
"Minerva? What's going on?" Albus asked sleepily from the doorway.
"What's going on? It's 3 o'clock in the morning and you're sons don't want to eat, or sleep, or do anything that would allow me 2 minutes of peace and quiet! I haven't even been able to see what an owl dropped off almost and hour ago!"
"What owl? Was it from the ministry?"
"I don't know." She said trying to calm down the infants, who, after seeing their father, decided to lower their cries to low whines. "It's over there on the table. An owl flew in, dropped it there, and then left."
"Oh." Albus said, picking up one of his sons and trying to coo him to sleep while heading over to the table. When he picked it up he immediately noticed the seal. "Oh no."
"What?" Minerva asked with her back to him, one of their sons almost asleep in her arms as she gently rocked him to sleep.
"Nothing." He said quickly and shoved the letter into his night robe's pocket. "It can wait until morning. I think these two are finally asleep."
"Why can't they go one night without waking us up at least twice? And I swear, they do it more often when they know we have classes to teach the next day."
Albus smiled, "Come on now, lets lay them down and go back to bed ourselves." He said heading into the smaller bedroom right next to theirs.
"Alright, come on baby we're going night-night now." She said heading in after her husband.
After the boys were in bed Minerva headed to her own room, but noticed Albus was not following her. "Aren't you coming?"
"Oh, yes, I just wanted a cup of hot chocolate first. I'll be in in a few minutes." He said kissing her cheek and heading towards their little kitchen nook.
As soon as Minerva shut the bedroom door Albus whipped out the letter and ripped it open.
~~~~~
Minerva my Lady,
I've heard of your 'adventures' with that crazy old man. Married and two children? Well, do not fear my love, I will soon rescue you, and prove to you that I am the most powerful wizard and not he. I have grown more powerful during these years I've been away. MUCH more powerful! I will destroy him and free you of the bond that he forced upon you. As for the children? Well, if they are truly yours then I could never hurt them, but if they are truly HIS, then they must be destroyed. Besides, OUR children will be much more powerful! I have gathered quite a following already, and their numbers will grow. We will start to take over, I'm sure you will hear about our attacks! But do not fear, I would never harm you. We will have to wait a little while longer to be together, I fear that as powerful as I am, I am not yet ready to duel with that muggle loving fool. I am researching new discoveries in magic, as well as old, hidden magic, banned years ago by those to weak to control it. I will come to get you when I feel I am strong enough to leave no chance that the old fool will survive. But I WILL come, do not doubt that. Until that time, I must say farewell. I have much to attend to now.
Your true love,
Tom
~Lord Voldemort

Albus was furious. He thought to himself. I can't let her see this, I can't let this upset her, not now. He's not coming yet, I'll protect them. He thought and quickly hid the letter away in one of the desk draws where he could lock it safely away.
"Albus, are you coming to bed?"
Albus turned to the bedroom door. "Yes, I'm coming my love." He called and then entered the room.
"Feel better now that you've had your hot chocolate?" She asked as she snuggled next to him when he got into the bed.
"Hmm? Oh, yes. I love you." He said.
She smiled, "I love you too." She said quietly before falling asleep.
"Yes, sleep my love. You need to rest."
~~~~~
5 Years Later...
"Minerva, we have to talk." Albus said from the doorway, watching his wife tucking their children into bed.
"Alright, Goodnight my loves."
" 'night mum." Richard mumbled, while Michael just rolled over in his bed, already fast asleep.
Minerva left the room, quietly closing the door behind her, "I wish I could get to sleep like that." She said with a smile, which quickly faded when she saw her husband's face. "What is it?"
"I've been keeping something from you. But you must not get mad, I was trying to spare you the pain." He added quickly.
Her face fell, "You're cheating on me?"
"What? NO!"
"Oh. So you're firing me?"
"Minerva." He said and she grinned a little.
"Well if you're not cheating on me, and I'm not fired, then what's wrong?"
He didn't say anything, instead he took 5 letters out of the locked draw in the desk and handed them to her. She glanced at the letters and dropped them all when she saw the initials LV with a snake winded through them.
"No." She whispered.
"He sent the first one five years ago, and has sent one every year since." Albus said softly, placing a comforting arm around her. "It's going to be alright, I'll protect you, I promise."
Minerva looked at him sternly, "I can protect myself Albus, and our children as well, especially from that.Monster. It's been years, Albus, and I don't believe he's any stronger now than he was before."
"Minerva."
"NO! I will not sit by and let him almost ruin my life once again! Burn them." She said coldly, "I don't even want to read what that psycho has to say, just get them out of my sight."
Albus picked up the letters and, after a stern look from Minerva, tossed them into the fireplace, where they crackled and burned into ashes.
"Good." She said and then her face soften and she smiled, "Now come on, Headmaster, we need to discuss this 'end of the year ball' that you've proposed we have."
Albus smiled, no wonder he loved her so much. "Yes, Professor." He said teasingly and followed her into the little office.
~~~~~
"I'm telling you, they're married!"
"Oh, come on Arthur, he's more than twice her age!" Molly cried out. Thank goodness it was nearly midnight during the holiday break, so no one else was in the common room at that time to hear them.
"So? My grandfather was almost 50 years older than my grandmother."
"Yes, but there's quite a difference between 50 years apart and 80 years apart. Plus he was her teacher. Really Arthur, they're just good friend!"
"They're married, or at least together in some respect."
"Eww. Come off it Arthur, I don't know where you'd even THINK of a thing like that."
Arthur turned red and looked away. Molly gasped, "You know something! Come on Arthur, you can tell me."
"I don't know."
"Arthur Weasley! We have been dating for over 5 years now, and you don't even trust me!"
"Oh come on Molly, I trust you, it's just.ok, you have to swear on everything you hold dear, that you won't tell anyone, not even those friends of yours, you know how gossipy they are."
Molly put her hand over her heart, "I swear. Now tell."
Arthur fidgeted with his hands for a few seconds, "Well, you know when I snuck out to go and get my book back from the stupid Slytherin's Head of House."
"He's a teacher Arthur.." Molly warned.
"Anyway, well I had to go by the hospital wing, and I heard voices when I went by, and when I peeked in Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore were there talking to Madam Pomfrey."
"Uh-huh."
"But then I noticed two kids there as well, only they weren't kids from the school, they had to be young, like 5 or 6, something around there. Anyway, I swear they were twins, same age you know, but they looked different, one looked like a male version of McGonagall, and the other one looked like a little version of Dumbledore, only without a beard and his hair was still that auburn color."
Molly gasped, "You don't think that those kids were.THEIR kids?!"
"Well, yeah! Then it got me thinking, there's always a teacher missing from meals, you know McGonagall, Pomfrey, that new teacher Hooch. What if they were with the kids? Like, looking after them instead of bringing them to meals, that way no one would see the resemblance and put 2 and 2 together."
"McGonagall and Dumbledore married? With kids?" Molly repeated, "HOW CUTE!!!!"
"Cute?"
End of Part 15
Yet! It's hasn't even been a week, and this one is longer than the last!
Hope you liked it. Ok, I've decided that I'm going to go up to either when Voldemort disappears for the first time, or when Harry starts school, but no further. I'm not sure which, it depends on how long it takes me to get to Voldemort's defeat. Oh, well. Hope you enjoyed this part.
Oh, and Feedback is always helpful, especially if you tell me what you really liked or disliked about a chappy, that way I can try and improve as the story goes along. Thanks!
