A/N: woo hoo! Okay sorry, had to get that out. Okay so I recieved complaint on the ending but not on the presumption that Hagrid was a Hufflepuff. Quite weird...did you know that weird is a weird word? The rule goes I before E except after C but with weird that just doesn't apply, doesn't that just strike you as weird? Okay, enough with the grammar lesson and on with the tale...so yes, I left off where? Oh right, with an interruption...

}Flashback{

The unique boy had managed to slip away from the inquisitive girl. She stared up after him a few moments longer after he had already disappeared from sight. With a curious smile she continued her descent. She had already decided that she would find some way of convincing him to take her to the Yule Ball. With this precipitant thought in her head she made her way outdoors to study the subject of her choosing.

An expelled breath and guttural clearing of the trachea caused the preceptor and the Keeper of Keys to disentangle themselves from each other. The former stood and made ready to exit after, of course, straightening her attire and vaguely tossled locks. The latter lifted his gaze til his optics held true with that of the intruder. The Keeper's visage was flushed with flustered arousal.

The vision percieved behind the half-moon spectales was nebulous, enough so that the wearer had to remove the frames from his face and cleanse the film of fog from the surface of the sculpted glass. McGonagall was prepared to slip back out into the chilly night but the raised hand of the interuptor prevented her from doing so.

After silent inner debate over the state of the lenses the newcomer replaced the glasses. He took a moment to let his gaze linger on each occupant of the cabin before he finally broke the uncomfortable silence with words. "Hagrid, I need a favor of you as soon as you are done here." With that said he bowed and prepared to take his leave until he was stopped by the subject of the reply.

"What kinner favor are yeh after?" Hagrid spoke up, the shared moment between McGonagall and himself was disturbed and now his thoughts were cluttered with the business matter at hand. Dumbledore, for that was who the intruder turned out to be, Hagrid knew for a fact would not disturb him unless the matter was of serious nature.

"We shall talk of it later." Dumbledore commented, waving off any further inquiry. "Sorry for the intrusion." The apology came belated but that in no way meant that it wasn't sincere. With the apology aired leave was taken though the Headmaster was unable to move far from the cabin, himself knowing that Hagrid would excuse himself to speak further of the matter.

The ones left were left to revel in the past moment, each revering it solely in the mind of one's own. The professor patted the keeper's arm. "You should see to what needs to be done." She lifted the fingers of his hand to her lips and placed a kiss on his knuckles, though her vision was obscurred with affection for the one before her she knew that while they both worked here feelings would have to be put aside for the greater good. "See you at breakfast." She tossed over her shoulder for she had already turned away and was headed out the door.

Before Hagrid was able to formulate a reply his past and ever present love had crossed the threshhold, hurring into the castle that was Hogwarts. The half giant stepped outside and watched her til she was no more than a speck and then some. When he turned back to his cabin he was presented face to face with Dumbledore. He ushered the elder inside where they were to sit and talk of what needed to be taken care of as soon as the time was right.

A/N: I believe that with this installment I shall bring this tale to a close, not for the fact that reviews are scarce but for the reason that I feel that this fic has met its requirements and anymore added shall be rather dull and just drag on and on. This fic already contains the point that I wished to force into your minds though that is not to say that a sister fic isn't at hand. With the right reccomendations such a thing may come to pass. For those inquiring minds who would wish to know what drabble of which the ending characters are talking it contains the moving of The Mirror of Erised. Just because of the discontinuance of this work has come into play does not mean that the protagonists love is no longer present nor does it mean that they haven't once again stolen moments for the two of them share. Yes this note is longer than the others I have made but I wish to add one more thing to relieve the minds of those whom can't understand the word usage within this last installment. I have once more been reading my dictionary since sleep wouldn't befall me til the early on this morning so for those whom are unable to make heads nor tails of this work may contact me so that I may give you counsel to the meanings of the inexplicably rare denotation of verbal variety. (i.e. If you need help understanding anything which is written then just contact me and I will tell you what it means.)
