Dialogue 5: McGonagall and Dumbledore
"No, Albus, the answer is just no," Minerva said uneasily, trying to get out of this particularly bothersome conversation.
"Minerva," Albus pleaded.
"No."
"Please," the Headmaster continued. "Do it for me."
"I'm sorry, I just can't," McGonagall said, playing with her hands, eyeing the door of the office.
"What are you afraid of?" Albus said, slightly annoyed. "Nothing bad can happen."
"Oh, yes," Minerva said, pacing. "What if..."
"There won't be any 'ifs'!" Albus said a little louder.
"I don't want to," Minerva said stubbornly.
"Why, then?"
It's going to sound very stupid coming from a woman like me, but I'm not ready, Albus," she said. "After all this time... and I'm just not ready."
"How long have we known each other, dear?" Albus asked, his eyes twinkling.
Minerva stayed silent, trying to think of a suitable answer, but Albus answered first.
"For more than fifty-six years," he whispered.
"I know that," she simply said, rolling her eyes.
"All these years and you still don't trust me?" he said, getting up from his seat.
"Oh, you know I do, Albus," she said, sighing.
"But not when it comes to you and me?" he continued, smiling.
She didn't answer.
"Come on," Albus pleaded again, sensing she was starting to let go.
"I don't know..." she said.
"Don't hesitate," he said. "It's not like you."
"Albus..."
"By Merlin's beard, Minerva, I've never seen you so hesitant!"
"Well it's a bloody good thing to be hesitant over!" she said almost angrily. "Dumbledore, of all people, why me?"
"Minerva, you are a great witch," Albus said. "It's normal for an old fool like me to want this from you."
Minerva still didn't answer, pacing the room, ignoring the insistent look her friend was giving her.
"Or maybe I was wrong," he said coldly.
The Head of Griffindor gave him a frightened look.
"No ..." she said.
"I thought you, out of all people, would be able to do this for me..."
"Albus, please..."
"But I guess I was wrong with that too," Albus continued, smiling interiorly.
Minerva sighed loudly.
"You don't trust me..." the headmaster went on.
"You know I do," she interrupted.
"Maybe never did..." he continued.
"ALRIGHT, ALBUS!" she yelled, losing her temper. "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, I'LL DO IT!!!"
Albus Dumbledore started laughing.
"Why do you do this to me?" she asked.
"Don't be angry, Minerva," he said. "Just sit in my armchair."
"You better make this quick......before I change my mind," Minerva warned him.
"No worries, this is barely going to last the night," he said softly. "No one will know."
"Oh, I don't mind people knowing this, a great part of the students and staff know about us," she said calmly. "I just don't want anyone to know that I... well... that I was very hesitant."
Dumbledore gave out another little laugh.
"It's not funny!" she said coldly. "I just don't think I'm good enough to replace you as school Headmistress!"
"Well, I'm off," he said, walking to the door and down the stairs.
"Gee..." he muttered. "I'm only leaving the school for a day and she completely freaks out. What's going to happen when I ask her to replace me full time?"
Up in his office, Minerva was tense as she watched the old Headmasters and Headmistress dozing in their pictures.
