Big thank you to my wonderful beta-reader bigkihap!

Chapter 6

A Happy Couple?

It continued to rain all the way throughout the afternoon leaving Albus and Minerva with nothing to do but hope that it would eventually stop. Minerva kept glancing over to Albus catching his eyes every time and start to giggle all over again. Albus sighed and rolled his eyes. After a while it got to him and he decided to lie down and stick his head under the pillow, making Minerva laugh harder. Eventually though, it did not seem quite as funny and she stopped then started to read her book. Albus decided it was safe to remove his head from under the pillow and place it on top so he could stare up at the cracks in the ceiling. Many thoughts passed through him mind about when he first met Minerva. She was an absolute beauty. Stares had followed her about where ever she went, but she ignored them. Minerva could have had any man she wanted, yet she had chosen him; an old fool, eighty years her senior. He felt like an old perverted transfiguration teacher. Armando Dippet had always kept a close eye on them both, claiming that Minerva was sleeping with him because she spent too much time with him. Minerva looked over at Albus, put her book on the bedside table and lay back on the bed beside him.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked softly.

"Everything. Mainly you, though," he whispered back to her.

"I am an old man Minerva. I still can't fully understand the reasoning behind you're choosing a senile old fool like myself. I really am so privileged to have you right here beside me now. You have no idea how I felt when that horrible woman ordered those stunners to hit you last term. It broke my heart to see you lying lifelessly in St. Mungo's." Albus looked directly in to her beautiful green eyes. She saw in his the pain it must have caused him to see her like that, to see Harry be tortured by those nightmares, to find Sirius dead before he had even started his life again. So many he had loved had been lost to Lord Voldemort. "Ever since I first met you all those years ago when you were sorted into Gryffindor, I knew you were something extraordinary. I was so proud to have you in my house, to guide and mentor you. Especially when you became an animagus," Albus smiled as he remembered the first time she had turned into a gorgeous silver tabby cat.

"By the time you graduated I had fallen in love with you. I never protested when you wanted to marry Jonathan Holm because I never thought you could ever love an old man like me. I wanted you to be happy, to love, to live freely. It was only until recently that I realized you could possibly love me, especially when you came out of hospital."

Tears welled up in Minerva's eyes and made them sparkle. Albus leaned over her and wiped them away with his thumb.

"I would do anything for you. Truly, I would. If you want me to dance, I shall dance. If you want me to be there for you when you need me, I shall. I would fight for you and even if it ever came down to it, I would even die for you. And that is a promise."

Minerva smiled graciously and cupped her hand on his cheek.

"Oh, Albus. That is the most romantic thing anyone could have ever said to me. I am truly touched," Minerva whispered and put her hand to his cheek. "I always had a crush on you when I was at school. My friends always brushed it off as a silly schoolgirl crush. But that crush never went away. Instead it grew stronger. I was desperate to be with you, I made up excuses so I could have you to myself for a couple of hours. You could have read out all the registers in the whole school and it would still enchant me," Minerva blushed as she confessed her love for the man she truly wanted to be with. "Even when I came back to teach, I hung on to you're every word. It seems so silly. I really wanted to impress you even after I had left school," she laughed and Albus smiled. His head rested against hers, they lay there twiddling with each other's fingers.

"You have no need to impress me, Tabby. You already do that without even trying," he whispered and caught her lips with his as she looked up at him. Sliding his hands around her waist, Albus pulled Minerva closer to his body. He deepened the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. They both began to explore each other's bodies, every kiss becoming more heated. Minerva could feel his eagerness for her coming through his trousers and she felt her heart racing. Slowly, Minerva pulled away and looked in to his sparkling blue eyes.

"Make love to me, Albus." she whispered.
