Albus Dumbledore slowly shook his head as he heard Rolanda run away. Dear Rolanda… a grownup woman- and an intelligent one, as well- and yet so much of a little girl… Well, what could this famous CD be? Muggle songs? Probably, but what kind of Muggle songs? He smiled. What could be Rolanda's kind of music? As he laid the CD in his CD player, quickly speaking the needed spells- otherwise, electrical stuff did not work at Hogwarts, he grinned. Well, he'd find out very soon… Albus pressed the "play" button, and sat down in his chair. As the first tones of the first track reached his ears, he smiled. So the thing did work. Well, he'd tell Rolanda, that…

Then, the lyrics came, and despite himself, he could not turn the CD player off. He listened.

"Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round."

Albus smiled, a bit bitterly. A little bit lonely. Well, if he thought about that… The whole world knew him, he was famous, had so many friends, and yet… He only wanted her to know whom he was. But did she?

"Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears."

He froze. Was this song written for him, he thought. How could a simple, muggle song express so clearly what he felt? What he always had felt.

He had been loving Minerva McGonagall for forty-one years…

And he was tired of all those soundless, useless tears that came at night.

She did not love him. How could she? She was beautiful and lovely and… and he was just an old man…

"Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by."

This was even more true, he realized. Forty-one years, lost, lost without her love. They were old now, even she wasn't as young anymore as she once had been. He had lost so much time… He had to do something, now… She had almost been killed the last year. He couldn't risk losing her, without even…

"Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes."

A bit terrified? The largest understatement ever… death frightened he was! Of that very special look in her eyes. He was death frightened that she would look at him in disgust when he told…

"Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart.

"Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart."

He fell apart.

"And I need you now tonight.

And I need you more than ever.

And if you'll only hold me tight.

We'll be holding on forever."

How this song made him realize that he needed her. Desperately needed her. But wasn't it wrong, to…

And the song gave an answer to his question

"And we'll only be making it right.

Cause we'll never be wrong together."

This was true. Never, never, could a love as strong as his be wrong. He would do everything for her. Kiss the ground she'd walked on. Caress the grass that had touched her feet. Give his life for her.

Maybe this year's Valentine would finally give him the opportunity to…

Maybe.
