Chapter 5- Oh Albus!

Hee Hee...this chapter is a bit fluffy so I changed the rating to PG 13...hope you all like it...

This time, Minerva did stop. She turned around at the sound of the crash and was extremely shocked to see Albus sitting on the ground with hip lip bleeding slightly and him clutching his ankle in pain. She gasped and quickly fled to where he lay, groaning slightly....

"Albus!!!! Albus, are you alright? Oh no! Your lips are bleeding...where else does it hurt?" Minerva asked, almost hysterical.

"I'm fine, my darling Minerva. Just a little twist in the ankle and bleeding lips because I bit my lips when I fell but I can mend that. But please, get Poppy after you help me back to my rooms so that she can do a check up to see if there's anything else?" Albus stated calmly, healing his lips with a swish of his wand.

Minerva blushed profusely when he called her his darling but nonetheless helped him up. Albus nearly blanched at the pain in his ankle but managed to mask the pain he felt. But Minerva noticed it and said admonishingly, "And you said you were fine. Look at you, you're nearly doubled over in pain, let me levitate you to your rooms."

Albus gladly consented for the pain was almost too much to bear. He floated beside Minerva in the stretcher she conjured as she directed it to his private rooms, just two doors away from HER own rooms. He weakly called the password and looked at her face for the expression on her face but could not read it from where he lay. Little did she know that light was dawning on her and her eyes shone with hope.

Minerva called for Poppy and Poppy came clucking worriedly with Severus behind looking vaguely amused. Poppy examined the ankle and to her relief it was just a little sprain but the impact and shock had caused it to be more painful than usual. She waved her wand and healed it immediately and told Albus, "Albus, your ankle is fine but you need to lay off it for awhile. I'm sure Minerva would be glad to help you. She can move into your guestroom next door so that she can look after you properly."

"Or she can just sleep with you, in your bed." Severus injected.

"Severus Snape!!!!" Poppy scolded for Minerva and Albus started to blush profusely. "Min, you will stay in the guest room so that you can look after Albus won't you?" she continued, looking at Minerva. Minerva nodded meekly.

"Good! Then we will leave you two alone now, for I'm sure that you two have LOTS to talk about." Poppy said over her shoulder as she dragged Severus out of the door.

Albus looked at Minerva and tried to say something but no words could come out. He ended up with a, "So..." "So..." echoed Minerva, inching closer to the bed where he sat.

This gave Albus courage to continue and he tentatively said, "You wanna talk about it?"

"Yes. Definitely, but you go first."

"Ok. Min, I guess there's not much to say except that I love you and I've loved you since your seventh grade, maybe even before. Your beauty mesmerizes me and every day I awake feeling glad just because I will be able to see you. When you frown, I worry. And when you look stressed, I curse myself. Others might think you're the stern and strict Professor Mcgonagall but I know and LOVE the real Minerva, the goddess with a kind heart of gold and gorgeous smile. The Minerva who is smart and powerful, the Minerva who's sweet, coy and But..."

"But what, Albus?"

"If all you want is a platonic relationship, I don't mind, but I just HAD to tell you how I felt...but as I said, you might not love me and I know that I'm too old for...mph mph....."

Albus' words were cut off completely by Minerva's lips covering his own.

He was stunned and her lips felt so soft and so...so...good. He responded immediately, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly and pressing his body against hers. She moaned in pleasure as his tongue licked her lips tentatively jut begging to be let in. She opened her mouth and moaned softly as his tongue shot in and caressed all the soft spots in her mouth, "Oh Albus..." ....
