Chapter 2- look into my mind

It was a beautiful sunny summer morning, the birds where twittering and zooming from tree to tree just outside the McGonagall mansion. The lake glistened in the sunlight welcoming anyone to enter its clear water. Minerva's mother has passed away some years ago the mansion had been left to Minerva in her fathers will.

"Albus..." She whispered into her lover's ear, while winding her hands round his sleeping body. He groaned loudly before rolling over and burying his head in Minerva's bony neck.

"Albus please, it's time to get up we have a meeting to get to." Minerva sighed loudly staring at the top of his head as he nuzzled into her neck. He looked up and caught her lips with his softly.

"Good morning my love... have I told you today that I love you?" He muttered whipping some of the sleep out of his eyes.

"I don't think so.... I love you too Albus." Her tone suddenly changed as she said the last few words. Albus stared at her intently, watching as her eyes softened as if she was about to cry. He gathered her up in his arms and held her tightly.

"Don't worry my love; he's in a better place now." Albus whispered into her ear. He was talking about her father. Of course this wasn't the reason why Minerva felt like crying.

It didn't take long at all to get to Grimmuald Place. Minerva soon found herself sitting at the table surrounded by the order, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and the Weasley's. Molly had insisted they stayed for breakfast.

"Minerva... I'm sorry to hear about your father and how your sister well...turned. If there's anything I can do..." Molly smiled; Minerva had heard this millions of times before. 'Oh it's so sad; you must be feeling terrible I feel so sorry for you.' Minerva didn't want their pity it was useless.

"He was good man." Alastor growled staring at Minerva. Alastor was a childhood friend of Minerva's the Moody's had always been great friends with the McGonagall's and when they had both started Hogwarts friendship had bloomed instantly. Severus Snape was the only one who actually saw her for what she was. He saw right through the façade she put on. No body of course wanted to believe that Minerva was a murder and those that did believe it never voiced there opinions. Snape was an exception 'The black widow' he called her. He didn't care who was around he knew what she was. He himself had also been a great friend of Angerona, who had treated him like a son through a hard time. He knew she was innocent and believed her when she told him about her murdering sister and her devilish temper. He also had agreed to help stop Minerva before Albus became the next on her list. But how was a different thing all together.

( Another short chapter again! ( will try and make the next one bigger.)
