Dani and Sky walked into their room (which was similar to the other rooms)
and shut the door. Sky rushed to her trunk and dug through it,
satisfactorily sending all of the neatly folded garments inside into chaos
all around the room. A plain, black, long sleeved tee flew across the room
and landed on Dani's back as she bent over to flip through her trunk and
find some pajamas.
"Sky! For heaven's sake!" she laughed, throwing the shirt back at Sky.
Sky, who had been in the process of flinging underpants across the room, straightened up suddenly. She turned around, a mischievous glint in her eye. Slowly, she reached for the white, silver trimmed house coat and tossed it as hard as she could in Dani's direction. It hit her square in the face, stunning her for a moment. She pretended not to notice and began fluffing the already puffy pillows on her bed. Sky whipped back around and resumed her searching.
"Hey, Dani! Look at these pajamas!" she laughed, holding them up. "They have little horses and horseshoes on them! How cute! Hey, this one looks like Butter." WHAP! She was hit in the head with a well thrown pillow from Dani's side of the room. "Cup.Oh.that was a mistake!"
She bounded onto her bed, the horse pajamas forgotten, and began to gather up all the pillows she could find.
"PILLOW FIGHT!" she shrieked, whipping one at Dani, who promptly jumped out of the way.
"Ha ha! Gotta get up earlier than that to beat the ALMIGHTY CIELITA! MUAHAHA!" The pillows flew around the room, scattering soft, white feathers all over.
By the time the two had tossed the last pillow and were laying exhausted on their beds, the room looked as if it had recently housed a large, molting swan.
"I.won." Sky panted.
"Whatever, I'm.too tired.to argue with you."
Sky sat up and smirked infuriatingly. She stuck her tongue out in a very childish way.
"I won, I won. I won I won I won!" she sang, pulling her robes over her head and changing into her pajamas. They were light blue and patterned with horses, ponies, horseshoes, and a number of things that you would find on a horse ranch.
Dani rolled her eyes, smiling and pulled on her pajamas; simple purple flannel trimmed with silver on the cuffs, neckline, and leg hems. She shook her head in a bemused way.
"Someone seems to think that I like silver, although I'm not altogether against the purple. These are rather nice, actually." She stepped into the matching pair of slippers and followed Sky out of the room and down the hall to Vicks room.
Unsurprisingly, the rest of the McGonagroupies were already seated on the floor and on Vicks's bed. Most of them, like Sky and Dani, were wearing two piece pajama sets in various colors with matching slippers, except Mini Minerva, who was wearing the pajamas she had been wearing when she arrived; an odd combination of a lime green nightgown patterned with white flowers, and pink pajama pants.
"Finally!" Tabby Girl said, rolling her eyes. "Let me guess," she sighed as Dani and Sky plopped down on the floor between Jestana and Punurple. "Pillow fight."
Dani and Sky glanced at each other.
"How did you know?" Dani asked.
"Oh, it just seemed to be the thing that you would do." Tetley Bag said, shrugging.
"Plus, you have these in your hair." Punurple said, pulling a few white feathers from Sky's hair.
They all laughed, until Vicks cleared her throat in an authoritative way.
"If you don't want to know that I have canon proof of a Minerva SHIP, then I won't tell you." She said, crossing her arms over her chest and raising an eyebrow.
This got their attention. They turned sharply to face her, listening with rapt attention.
"That's better. Now, as I was saying. I was walking with you guys, until I decided to try and find a bathroom. I figured that you all wouldn't miss me, and apparently none of you did, as no one tried to look for me." The faces in the group turned guilty, and Vicks, satisfied, continued with her story. "Anyway, I turned down this really long hallway that was lined with pictures on the walls. I stopped and looked at a few because I had nothing better to do, and I saw this picture of.get ready for this." she waited a moment or two to leave them in suspense. "Minerva and Albus, on their wedding day! And they were kissing and everything! Eeeek!"
There was an outburst the likes of which this room had nerve seen before, as the Miner-obsessed ladies received information of a Canon Minerva SHIP. Jestana and Cielita jumped up and grabbed hands, beginning to dance around singing,
"I knew it! I knew it!"
Tetley Bag looked slightly put out that Hooch/Minerva was condemned to be forever Fanon, but smiled. Sky and Mini Minerva looked at each other and shrugged, Sky looking very annoyed that Lycanthropic Feline was only ever going be a thread, scowled as most of the group, -Mini Minerva included, as it was her main favorite SHIP- danced around and squealed with joy.
"Hold on, hold on." Sky said irritably. "How do you know that it was their wedding day?"
Vicks rolled her eyes and said in a very sarcastic tone,
"Hmm, let me think. Min was wearing fancy white robes and flowers in her hair, Albus had these really nice ones on and all his badges," Here Sky snorted.
"Yeah, for being the Big-Headed Warlock, and supreme couch-lump. Big deal." Jestana glared at her.
"And." Vicks continued loudly, "oh yeah, right. There was this big banner in the background saying.wait, what did it say now? Oh yeah, something stupid, like: 'CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, ALBUS AND MINERVA!'"
There was a silence at the end of this statement. The group was basically stunned that anyone could be so sarcastic, but quickly looked at Sky and Punurple, and weren't so surprised anymore.
"So.wow. Albus + Minerva is canon. Real. I don't believe it." Mini Minerva said, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Whatever, Mini. Big whoop. So Kitty and Bumblebee are together. That was your big secret?" Sky said, making to leave the room.
"No, no. There's more. I looked at the date on the picture, and it turns out that Minerva is not seventy. She's about 54 years old.and.oh wait until you hear this." The McGonagroupies, who were tiring quickly of Vicks' cliffhangers, sighed.
"What is it, Vicks?" Punurple asked impatiently.
"They have.a daughter." The room burst out with cries of surprise.
"No way!"
"You're joking!"
"I don't believe it! How.SQUEE!"
"Eww! Dumbledork and Min did it! Gag!" This comment was, doubtlessly, from Sky.
Most of them simultaneously rolled their eyes.
"How old is she, Vicks?" Tetley Bag asked calmly, a huge accomplishment, given the circumstances.
"Well.there was another picture," she said, thinking hard. "I think it was from '89. Which means."
"That Minerva's daughter." Tabby Kit continued, "would be going into her last year at Hogwarts, and since it's summer."
"She must be somewhere in this house!" Jestana finished excitedly.
"Do you think that we would be able to find her?" Dani asked.
"Why not? I mean, it's only one house. One very large house. How hard could it be?" Mini Minerva said, shrugging.
"Holy cow! It's like, 9:00 already! We should be getting ready for bed, I mean, if we want to be up early enough to try to find Min and Albus's daughter." Jestana said, glancing at her watch.
"Yeah. All this information packed into my brain has completely worn me out!" Tabby Girl said, yawning widely.
Most of the group -save for Mini Minerva, and Sky- nodded in assent.
"Right, well good night, guys! Can't wait for tomorrow. We'll get to meet Minerva's daughter!" Vicks said excitedly.
"We still have to find her," Punurple said, frowning.
"It's just one house! How hard could it be?"
"Sky! For heaven's sake!" she laughed, throwing the shirt back at Sky.
Sky, who had been in the process of flinging underpants across the room, straightened up suddenly. She turned around, a mischievous glint in her eye. Slowly, she reached for the white, silver trimmed house coat and tossed it as hard as she could in Dani's direction. It hit her square in the face, stunning her for a moment.
