Six days passed and Minerva was starting to get annoyed with the healers in St Mungo's. They had informed her that she would have to stay another week just so they knew that she was back to her old self again. She was perfectly fine. Sure she still couldn't walk and she was still having trouble stringing sentences together but other then that she was perfectly fine. A sharp pain vibrated through her rib cage as she tried to sit up. Okay so maybe she wasn't perfectly fine!

"Albus, I." She thought for a moment, trying her best to say the full sentence. But then she gave up. "Home." Albus stepped out of the shadows and took her hand.

"You have to wait until the healers say you are okay to go back to Hogwarts Minerva." She grimaced slightly. He could seen the pain in her eyes grow deeper every night he came. She needed to be back at the school. "Think of it this way, You need all your strength to go back and give Umbridge the boot." They both laughed.

"Funny." Minerva managed to say before the pain of her laughter kicked in.

"You need to rest, my love." Albus whispered as he kissed her cheek. "I love you." He smiled.

"Bit. late. now." Minerva sadly smiled. "Needed. words. thirty. two. years." Albus put his fingers to her lips before she could continue.

"We need to save that conversation for when you have the strength to talk properly." She kissed his fingers and he smiled. "I have to go early tonight. Something important needs to be taken care of." He turned to leave but Minerva grabbed his hand. She uttered three little words before she fell asleep. The one's he had expected she had longed to say for awhile.

"Watch. Harry. please."
