Back to Hogwarts

An hour later the pair walked into Hogwarts. Albus immediately left to check in with the Order and Minerva slowly headed towards their suite in Gryffindor tower. She noticed a familiar scene and rolled her eyes. Severus knew better. After dealing the point issues and the boys, Minerva smiled.

"Professor Snape, you wouldn't have take advantage of mine or Albus' absence to abuse your points privileges."

Severus glanced around the hall, made sure no one was coming, and hugged the other professor.

"Of course not, Minerva. That would be mean and petty and as a Slytherin, I would above such practices."

Eyes glistening, he dropped to his knees and speaking into Minerva's stomach,

"Now, twins, you need to know the best house is Slytherin. You learn more, you make connections and you only look out for yourself. You don't get a hero complex, which saves both effort and injuries to yourself. And while they won't admitted it, both your parents have a number of Slytherin qualities, which means you would have no problem getting in. I know you are going to be push to be Gryffindors and that's fine. I'm merely advising you to consider Slytherin. After all a many great wizards...."

"There's a frightening picture. Severus Salazaar Snape influencing the next generation."

Snape got up off the floor.

"Well, someone has to do it. As their godmother, Xio, you should be encouraging them towards greatness."

"You never been attack by an angry owl and furious tabby cat at once? Not a pleasant experience. Many do not live through it."

Albus and Minerva tried not to laugh. Taking Minerva's hand, Albus said,

"Well, we need to pack for the summer and I assume you do too. When are you planning to stay with us?"

"Maybe late June or early July. Xiomara is attending a Quiddtich coach conference and I have work for the Order and research to do. Is the staff barbeque on the thirty of June?" Severus tried to remember the date.

"A chance to let our hair down and get ripping drunk what fun. Of course Minerva will only be able to do one of those things..."

"I don't drink unlike some people, Mara. Beside the last time I got drunk it was..."

"...Halloween night 1981, celebrating the fall of You-Know-Who and you didn't mean to but the bartender didn't serve non-alcoholic drinks and you were thirsty from leaping off of rooftops." The three other professors finished.

"Right." Minerva said primly.

The foursome parted ways and Albus and Minerva packed quickly. If students think they are into a rush to leave, the professors are manic.

Albus looked at his wife.

"You know no one is here now and we are in our bedroom together for the first time in a long time and we are leaving soon..."

Minerva glanced up from her packing.

"I just got out of the hospital, I'm pregnant, we have to leave in three hours at the latest, we still need to pack and you want to fool around. Are you kidding me?"

Albus merely smiled. Taking out his wand, he packed everything he knew was needed. Conjuring alarm clock, he set the alarm for sixty minutes. Turning to Minerva, he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, that was very impressing. But what about the other two objectives?"

Minerva found herself back in bed, without clothes as her husband also was. Persuasive little bugger, she chuckled to herself.

"I'll be gentle. I just want to enjoy a little alone time with my wife. You know, your body always was so beautiful..."

With these words Minerva stiffed. Albus noticed.

"Mina?"

"It's just this will be the first time since...."She sighed, running her hand through his hair.

"I will notice some changes in your body, scarring from Stunners and of course our little surprises. But nothing could make you less beautiful. Especially when you risked yourself to save a friend."

As he said this, Albus turned Minerva over on her back, and ran his tongue over her scars. Minerva had never been so aware of her body.

"...and of course the fact you are glowing from the pregnancy is very, very sexy to me at the moment..."

Albus paused by her slight pudgy stomach and kissed it.

" ...but I suppose if you don't feel that we have the time, I could stop...."

Albus stopped and looked at Minerva, his blue eyes twinkling.

Minerva, who enjoyed being convinced, looked totally undone. Her body was flushed and ready for her husband, practically vibrating.

"Albus, we have..."Minerva checked the clock, "twenty-seven minutes before we need to get up."

"And look at that, you are all ready to go..."

Albus quickly rolled Minerva on her side. She looked surprise at the move usually one of them is on top and one is on bottom.

"I thought this might be faster and more comfortable for you." He kissed her, while slipping his leg between hers and entered her.

"Oh. Well, yes, I suppose... oh Albus..."

"Hmm...I did miss this when I was gone. Being around my brother and his goats are just the aren't the same."

"Albus, shut up!"

His eyes widen. He hasn't dealt with a pregnant wife in many years, especially one who hasn't been with her husband in weeks.

"Mmmm." Minerva savored her husband inside her.

"Mina! Goddess!"

"Yes, Warrior! Oh!"

They peaked and then collapsed in each other's arm.

Albus looked over Minerva's head at the clock.

"Well, look that. We still have three minutes. "

Minerva just laughed and kissed him.

They quickly dressed and levitated their trunks to the boats. He gently placed their trunks in the boats and then reached for his wife.

"We're finally leaving. I just want to sleep for the three months." Minerva yawned.

"I think that's an excellent idea. You could write some articles for Transforming Weekly, plan lessons, just taking it easy..."

The witch didn't answer, as she was sound asleep.

When they arrived the cottage,
Albus tenderly scooped up Minerva. Carrying his wife, he opens the door and walked towards the bedroom. He transformed their clothes into nightclothes and lay down next to his wife. She turned towards him and Albus rested her head on his chest.

Home. His last thought before sleeping.
