"I mean, really, Tams!"
Minerva's eyes spat fire, and Tammy Weasley laughed.
"Minerva…"
"He was-"
"Minerva," the other girl interrupted her friend. "You really were rude, you know. I mean- it was extremely funny and you have quite surprised me, but yet, you are risking serious detention, Min."
Minerva bit her lips and spoke silently
"I know, Tammy. I know- but he was such a…"
"He wasn't that bad, Minerva. Well, he acted a bit silly, but you…"
"I have done as I thought was best."
Minerva looked very stern and proud, and Tammy smiled.
"Oh, Minnie, please, don't go all "Lady Minerva", again..."
Minerva smiled faintly.
"I won't, Tams. It is just- I really, really, really dislike that… that… man!"
Tammy laughed again.
"Was that your meanest insult, Minerva? Well, whatever, you've made clear that you dislike him now, but he really was not that bad. At least, for an objective eye…"
"I am objective!" Minerva protested weakly. Tammy rolled her eyes.
"Well Min, if you are objective, then I am Headmaster Dippet!"
Minerva stared at her friend, then suddenly she smiled and spoke theatrically
"My god Armando, and when exactly did you dye your hair Weasley-red?"
Tammy laughed and nudged her friend.
"I am at least happy that you can laugh again… I guess we'll now…"
But Minerva never knew what "we'll now", for suddenly, the door of the Gryffindor common room went open, and two exactly identical-looking fair-haired boys came running in, stopping right before Minerva and Tammy.
"Pat, Phelan, you startled the hell out of…"
But Minerva shut up as the boys both pressed one kiss on each on of her cheeks. Very surprised, she stared at her friends, who grinned.
"Don't you worry Min," one of the boys said. "We still haven't got a crush on you."
Minerva smiled faintly.
"Well, Phelan, I really didn't…"
"It is just," the other boy- Pat- continued "that we are extremely proud of our very own, very typical, very Scottish-tempered Minerva McGonagall. You were absolutely wonderful during Transigfurations!"
"You totally crushed the man! Not that-"
"…we are cruel. It's just-"
"… that you-"
"… who are always on about "respect" and things-"
"… now acted in the most disrespecting way possible towards our-"
"… nevertheless-not-that-unpleasant-"
"… Professor Dumbledore!" Phelan finished the sentence, as Tammy pressed her hands against her ears.
"My god, please," she moaned. "don't do the "I say something and my brother finishes the sentence" trick again. We know you are freaks! Please, do us a favor!"
The boys smiled as they sat down next to her.
"Well, okay Tams, but that is the twin-power, you know. Yet," Phelan said, as he turned to Minerva again "you were just wonderful, Min! I mean, Miss McGonagall, rebellious with a teacher and he even doesn't teach Divination! I mean…"
Minerva smiled, but then nodded seriously.
"I really don't like Albus Dumbledore."
