Chapter 9-Sad but true

Minerva sat at the end of the bed; her hands clasped together firmly as she talked to Alastor and told him of her plan.

"I see... I think I'll send Ronald next he isn't eating properly. Then maybe Snape the git's just sitting and sulking." Minerva was so wrapped up in her conversation she didn't even notice that Albus had finished his meal and was watching her intently; she had wrapped herself up in the black silk sheets and sat at the end of the bed. Not a bad sight. After a while she seemed to sense the eyes that were boring into her, She turned and saw Albus staring at her.

"I have to go Alastor stay safe."

"And you Min and you." She was suddenly surrounded by silence that was until she felt and heard a deep breathing on her neck and ears as Albus wrapped his arms around her and pulled her onto his lap easily.

"What are you doing?" He asked issuing her a very odd look.

"Nothing darling just thinking." She answered oddly, running her delicate fingers up and down his slightly worn chest.

"About what?" He answered dangerously his long fingers digging into her back.

"Nothing important." She knew as soon as the words fell out her mouth she had said the wrong thing. Before she could say anything to take it back she found her back hitting the bed heavily while Albus gripped her shoulders tightly.

"Don't try my patience today Minerva, the order are up to something that much I can tell. I hate not knowing everything Minerva, and you keeping things from me, is not helping." He said all this very quickly he growled at her ever so softly, Minerva was reminded of a lion that had just lost there pray. Minerva went to lift her hands up but his grip was vice, like.

"I'm sorry Albus I was thinking about us and how much I love you." She smiled at him as he grip lessoned, she brought a hand up to the back of his head and pulled him down for what should have been a small tender kiss but that slowly morphed in a much deeper kiss containing that unholy passion Albus held. She felt a shiver run down her spine as Albus slowly began to untangle her from the dark covers. Crushing her lips with his. He pulled away from her and threw the covers onto the floor heavily. He nuzzled into her neck gently before nibbling at her ears.

"I love you." The words rolled of his tongue so easily that Minerva almost believed them. After all here she was in the arms she had dreamed about for so many years, with his soft voice telling her that he did love her and not just her body. Albus... sweet gentle Albus. She thought to herself. You don't know the meaning of love anymore. She couldn't stop the stray tear that glided down her cheek.

"And I love you Albus." She muttered and sadly it was true.
