Cat – a – Strophe!

Chapter 3

"WATCH ME!"

There was an awkward silence after Dumbledore had shouted those two words. Minerva glared at him, and she felt she was about to spit fire like some vicious dragon. How dare he suggest detention to a teacher, to her! How dare he! She could feel the small sweet through her robes; she had put it in her pocket. She smiled a very vile smile; Dumbledore and the rest of the order noticed it with some uncertainty.

"Detention sounds fine, Dumbledore!"

"Wha...Whaa...WHAT," he exclaimed with an open mouth and round eyes.

She saw her opportunity to run away, and headed for the door. Dumbledores reflexes weren't that good, since he was surprised at her reaction to his whole detention thing. But he leaped after her nevertheless, leaving the witches and wizards in the kitchen to ponder their Headmaster and his deputy's bizarre behaviour.

Minerva smiled wickedly as she went through the door and toward the staircase; glad he hadn't caught her yet. Just as she was about to reach the staircase and climb it, pain jagged through her leg. Clutching her leg, she fell hard on the floor. Looking towards the kitchen door she saw Albus Dumbledore standing there holding his wand in her direction. He was grinning with mischief.

"Got yer," he said as he walked nearer his voice filled with triumph.

"Foul player," she spitted through her clenched teeth, feeling her anger boiling just under the surface.

"All is fair in love and holy war, my dear!"

"Fine, if you say so! Then I see no problem that I'll just take this," she started holding the precious Sherbet Lemon in front of her mouth, "and just enjoy it!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," yelled Dumbledore and threw himself at her.

Minerva saw this coming, and instead of putting the candy in her mouth she put in somewhere secret, somewhere she was sure he wouldn't dare to take it (cough cough... now use your imagination fellas... cough cough Such dirty minds you have...Oh Behave!). She was about to grin when he surprised her as he landed right on top of her, knocking the wind out of her, and leaving her heaving for air.

He gripped her arms and straddled her with his legs. She was caught. And he was holding the longest straw.

"I'm going to be a nice guy here, and give you one chance to give me back my Sherbet Lemon," he offered giving her a rare smile.

"Never," she hissed still upset he had used magic to catch her. It was so unfair. She should have thought of using magic before him, she really ought to have remembered not to play entirely fair.

The smile that was plastered on his face fell, and his eyes lost its usually sparkle, only a cold ocean blue was left.

She giggled at the thought of making Albus Dumbledore loose his patience, for he had indeed lost it and dark clouds were gathering around his head.

"Why are you such a self-absorbed pain in the arse," he sneered trying to provoke her. He succeeded quite fairly.

"WHAT! Take a look at yourself mister, and tell me who's a pain in the ASS! In fact you're worse! YOU HAVE THE BLOODY INTELLIGENCE OF A...A...A...OF A BLOODY CUCUMBER," she stormed trying to free herself of his steel-like hold. It didn't work; she was still trapped beneath him.

He just grinned at her outburst. "You're trapped! Better surrender for your own good... and health!"

"You don't scare me!"

"WHERE IS MY SHERBET LEMON?"

"I'll never tell!"

"Admit you're defeated by me!"

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

"THAT CAN BE ARRANGED!"

"It's just a figure of speech, Albus"

"I know"

"Then why for the sake of Merlin's beard did you say it could be arranged," she asked with a shrill voice.

"To see you go all hysterical!"

"I'm not hysterical!"

"If you say so, my dear!"

"I am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am NOT"

"Are TooOOOOooooHHHH," he howled and leaped away from her holding his leg. She had kicked him with all her might on his poor leg. She wouldn't be surprised if it would be a big black bruise tomorrow. She grinned a wicked smile, glad she was finally free of his grasp.

"That was uncalled for," he yelled at her from the place he was sitting on the floor.

""What comes around goes around!"

"You're dead, Minerva! YOU'RE SO DEAD!"

"DO NOT COME NEAR ME AGAIN! I'M WARNING YOU, ALBUS! DO NOT..." further she didn't get as they again was rolling on the floor like two kids having a snow fight. Though there were no snow or kids, just two grownups.

Trying to get away Minerva began to crawl towards the staircase, but something haltered her. And before she could take out her wand, Albus Dumbledore had again trapped her. This time though is was worse. He did the most wicked thing he could do to her. He began tickling her.

"S...T...O...P.... EeeeeeeeettT!"

"Oh no, my dear!"

"Pleeaasssssseee," she screamed while trying not to laugh like a maniac. No matter how much she was wriggling, trying to get away, it didn't help. No matter how much she pleaded with him to stop, to have mercy on her, he didn't. No matter how much she tried to control her laughing, to think of anything else, she found herself giggling, laughing and screaming at the same time. But then again she was terrible ticklish.

He suddenly stopped, and she was trying only to focus on breathing again. Something caught her attention while getting her breath again, that something or more someone was standing over at the kitchen door. In a matter of fact it was a crowd of people, looking at her and Albus, with bemused expressions. She felt her heart sink to her toes – the whole Order was looking, the whole bloody Order was bloody looking at them bloody fooling around. How embarrassing. She wished she could just dig a hole and slip away unnoticed. Unfortunately she didn't have a shovel and she was damn sure Albus Dumbledore would do everything in his power to make sure she would stay right here. At this moment he was doing a quite good job of it. She looked back at her friend and saw a thin smile on his lips.

"Are you going to hand back what you stole or what," he asked kindly and loud enough for everyone to hear. He was enjoying this far too much! He wasn't the slightest ashamed!

"Nope. I see no reasons you should have it back as you treated me quite horrible!"

"What, " he laughed until he saw her stubbornness in her eyes, "C'mon Minerva, this is going nowhere!"

"Furthermore I can't see why I can't have it!"

"Because it's mine!"

"Then again I can't see why we can't share it!"

"SHARE IT! That's blasphemy, woman! You must be mad to suggest something so outrageous as that!"

"Look who's talking! Blasphemy! Outrageous! I'll give you MAD," and with strength Dumbledore hadn't believed she pushed him away, stood up and ran over to the staircase and further up.

Coming into a room she closed the door silently behind her, trying to hold her breath she turned around to see where she had ended and nearly jumped ten meters into the air of fright!

Right in front of her stood no other than Albus Dumbledore himself. And to top it all he wore a smug expression. She didn't need communication to figure out she was in big – BIG – trouble.
