And of course it was right. Minerva had to admit she started to quite like her teacher, but she would of course never think of… Such things were despicable, horrid, unspeakable! A student with… with a teacher! Imagine… A teacher…
She shivered lightly as she went to bed and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight Tams, Ro, Poppy, Sera!"
"Goodnight, Minerva!" the other girls' voices responded in unison.
Minerva smiled and yawned. She was tired, yes, but life was beautiful, wasn't it? Tomorrow another day, tomorrow another Transfigurations class, tomorrow night another detention with Dumbledore. And despite her strong feeling for what was appropriate and what wasn't, Minerva fell asleep with a happy smile on her face.

"Good morning, class!" Albus Dumbledore greeted lively.
"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore." the class answered, all grinning, and this time, a certain dark-haired, tall girl was smiling as well.
"Okay, class. Today we'll concentrate on object-to-animal-transfigurations. As you all can see, you have got teapots in front of you. You will all try to change those teapots into nice, living, healthy kittens. And make sure they are not flowery anymore. I don't expect you to manage this from the very first time…"
The students smiled, but Minerva raised her eyebrows as she grinned.
"At least, not all of you…" Albus added, as he read the sparkle of humor in her emerald green eyes.
And indeed, her teapot was almost immediately transfigured into a beautiful, striped kitten.
As Albus walked through the classroom, casually correcting other students' mistakes- a kitten with smoking coming out of his ears was probably not really healthy-, he stopped beside her and chuckled.
"So, Miss McGonagall, your kitten seems to be quite a nice little fellow! Do you think that's because of your feline instincts?"
As Minerva looked up at her teacher, she grinned as well- and all students stared at each other, not knowing what to think of this strange change of behavior. All enmity between the two had… suddenly disappeared…
"I guess so, Professor."
Albus nodded and answered her grin. But as he looked into those clear, intelligent green eyes again, something suddenly changed. She felt it as well. Suddenly his piercing, blue-eyed gaze was too piercing, and his sweet smile was too sweet. She quickly concentrated on the meowing kitten in her arms again, but feeling his gaze was enough to make her shiver.
Where did this sudden shyness come from?
They did get along quite well now, didn't they?
Didn't they?
Please Review!
She shivered lightly as she went to bed and closed her eyes.
