A/N: I wish to thank Minion for the support on this odd oddessy. Most book/movie fics stay within the boundries of the main characters. Only a few venture out to include the supporting cast. These few are rarely noticed though the work may be exqisite. So for all whom are be nighted to such excellence may find this drabble a waste of precious time. Though those whom have inherited the ability to initiate the step across the boundries then feel free to contact me and your work shall be appreciated. As this note has run its course the continuance shall begin with a few skipping of lines.

}Flashback{
A tall wispy girl slipped down one of the ever moving staircases. Fingers lightly grazed the banister, books tucked beneath the opposite arm. She had just borrowed books from the library and wished to ponder them over out beneath the new spring light. Mind was working over the complexities of the newest transfiguration she wished to pursue. With mind busy of such pleasant thoughts her lids had fallen to half mast and attention wasn't paid to her surroundings. Therefore it is quite logical that she wouldn't have noticed another until she bumped into them and it is suffice to say that that is exactly what happened.
}End of Flashback{
Minerva dropped her fingers once more to her side. "It is okay Rubeus, there is no need for explaination." She turned away from him and removed the boiling water from the fire and put in a pinch of tea leaves to steep. Afterwards she took a seat at the table and folded her hands on top.
Hagrid took the seat across from her. He tapped his fingers on the table, staring at each tip as they drummed the wood. "So, er, Professor..."
"Minerva, if you please Rubeus." Professor McGonagall interjected. Then with a wave of her hand she beckoned him to continue with his previous statement.
"Er, Minerva then. So, er, Minerva what brings yeh out away from the castle?" Words continued to be slurred by drink but probably not as much as before, it is concieveable that embaressment can also be blamed.
"Well Rubeus," She paused while she poured each of them a cup of tea, "I figured you could use a spot of company, outside of Fang that is." Fang's head lifted at the sound of his name. He had been lieing quietly near the fire but now his tongue lolled out as he awaited instructions that usually followed the sound of his name.
Fang began to whine as no instructions were given. "Fang, quiet." Hagrid mummbled gruffly. Fang quickly obliged his master, head lain back between his forepaws though now his tail slapped against the wooden slats of the floor.
Hagrid lifted the cup of tea to his lips. He drank to the dregs before settling the cup back to the table. "That is a very nice gesture Prof, er, Minerva." He refilled his cup before speaking again. "But yeh needn't have traveled out in this cold."

A/N: And another chapter has come to a close. Yes, everything has come to a stand still right now though I assure you that in chapters to come more actions shall be installed. For now I feel it best that they should talk for there is a past they share that shall be told in bits. So as always review and more is sure to follow.
