Thank You: A great thank you to all of my reviewers and an even bigger THANK YOU to my beta reader, and good friend, Cammie (TartanLioness)
And Now: Now! On with the bloody story!!
The doors creaked open and the four walked in. At the staff table there was a seat for each of them. Rolanda, Selene and Poppy each seated themselves, leaving Minerva to sit between Albus and Rolanda. The headmaster stood up and spoke;
"First of all; please give a warm welcome to our new transfiguration teacher and possible candidate for Deputy Headmistress: Professor McGonagall", Minerva blushed and gave a small wave, "Second of all; enjoy the feast!!", food appeared on everyone's plate with a wave of Albus' hand and dinner began.
Albus turned to Minerva, "Your classes will start after the weekend on Monday. I trust you remember where the classroom is, yes?"
"How could I forget?", she put her hand on the headmaster's knee and he covered her hand with his.
Rolanda giggled and received a death glare from Minerva. (Thus the McGonagall Glare is born!!)
"What, what?!?!", Poppy hissed quietly to Rolanda. Rolanda put her hands to Poppy's ear and whispered what she saw, not even trying to stifle her unladylike snorts.
Poppy leaned forward and looked at Minerva, who was giving the both of them a dirty look, and snorted while trying not to laugh.
"It appears that the Philistines are upon us, Minerva", Albus smiled at her and looked a bit confused at Poppy and Rolanda.
"Nothing, Headmaster", Poppy face was starting to turn red from her efforts not to laugh.
Albus leaned in to Minerva's ear, "What are your friends laughing at?"
"Me.-I believe they've discovered us, love.", she smiled at him. She had turned her head to do so, making their noses about an inch apart. Both of them blushed and moved away from the other's face and didn't speak to anyone, or each other, for the remainder of dinner, which was not entirely true of Poppy, Selene, and Rolanda.
"Guys, what'd I miss?"
Poppy smirked and looked to her right at Selene, "You missed the curse in action."
Selene smiled, "So, it is true? The 'Headmaster (Mistress) always falls in love with his (her) Deputy Headmistress (Master)?", Minerva and Albus? I can see that happening, she thought to herself, I can totallysee that.
Dinner went on and not another word was spoken at the staff table.
