"Twilight of Summer"
Minerva found herself in the midst of a hurricane as herself, Albus, and Harry prepared to return to Hogwarts. Trunks lined the halls as books flew into them. Shouts from Harry and Albus as they used summoning charms to locate various objects that wander over the summer to only god knows where.
Minerva, sighed, and continued to pack the baggy robes she had been living in for the past month. She sat down and rubbed her stomach as clothes around her dropped into the open trunks.
"Mina, where are my blue robes? I tried to summon them but they didn't come."
Pecking his lips, Minerva asked,"the blue velvet ones, with the gold piping?"
"Yes, those ones. The ones the twins gave me for my birthday."
Minerva gave him a deeper kiss.
"The soft deep blue with automatic temperature charms?"
"Yes! Now that we know which robes I'm talking about where are they?"
"Oh, those robes! In my trunk." Minerva continued to kiss her husband, moving closer in an effort to distract from the thief of his favorite robes.
"Mina!"
Looking up with the most innocent look, Minerva answered,
"I thought you would want me to be as comfortable as possible. Surely you wouldn't begrudge me your robes since they're so comfy. You do know how important it is to be comfy in the last months."
"You might want to switch jobs, my dear. You are acting like a Slytherin more each day."
Minerva smiled.
"Mara has excellent tips."
"Really?" Albus began to kiss her neck. Minerva arched her neck and whimpered.
"Mmmmm. Mara is known for put Severus in his place, or should I say places?"
"I'll think I will talk to her about that…we shouldn't condone the abuse between staff members…or spouses…"
Albus moved down to cup Minerva's breast as Minerva heard footsteps on stairs. Minerva groaned and placed a cool spell on them. Albus looked surprised.
"Harry."
Albus smiled at the disheveled image they presented. To be short it was perfectly clear what they have been up to.
"Ah. Correctio vestisus. "The robes straightened themselves and Minerva checked for any marks.
"Mom and Dad? I'm all packed. Need any help?" Harry poked his head in the room.
"Of course. I'm just started on the books, and the diagrams are in that drawer. "
Harry start to look at the books Minerva chose to use this year.
"The complete guide to transfiguration: practical and theory? These are new." Harry commented.
"Those took me eight years to finish. I hated to use the other ones. Now one book should last seven years, with supplements. Really if you just keep building on theory…." Minerva trailed off after seeing Harry's look. "What?"
"I never realized how much Hermione is like you." Commented Harry.
Minerva simply nodded and smiled. A comment that was repeated often by colleagues sometimes out loud with a smile and sometimes with an evil look thrown her way and a string of curse words accompying it.
"She is a remarkable witch. I imagine she'll take my title as greatest witch one day.
"I wouldn't be so eager to give my title dear. If these kittens are any proof, you still have a couple decades left."
Minerva blushed and kissed her husband of almost fifty years.
"It helps that I married a child at heart."
"Awww," Harry smirked.Realizing it was almost supper time, Minerva waved her wand and the trunks shut down. Her school supplies stack around in neat plies in boxes.
"Harry, it's your turn to make dinner. I think I will take a nap. Albus, please pick up the office."
After dinner, the family sat by the bonfire pit that Apollo built the summer before he left for Healer's training. Harry showed Minerva and Albus how to make 'smores as they discussed the year.
"Harry, I must insisted you call us Professors in public. No one will know about our adopting you." Albus could just see the accusation of favorism running rapidly, even through throughout the years professors' children had attended.
"Of course." Harry grimaced at the thought for another reason. He didn't want his relationship to harm anybody else. Another thought crossed his mind.
"Will you and mom take me to platform 9 3/4 ?"
"Mmmm, no. You'll floo to the station. Molly will meet you. We need to be at school to organize the feast. Which reminds me. Mina, I still need to weave spells around you."
Albus wanted to protect his wife and decided a woven aura would work the best to hide how far along she was.
"We'll do that tonight. Before the sorting would be the best."
"When are you going to tell people?" Harry asked curiously. After all, Minerva was very obviously pregnant at six and half months.
"The staff already knows. We'll tell the Gryffindors first and then see who else notice. I might borrow one of Miss Granger's ideas." Minerva smiled secretly.
Albus and Harry's interest was piqued but Minerva declined to expand on her plan.
"Mina, you really need to stop hanging around Slytherins. Gryffindors are supposed to be noble." Albus teased. He loved when Minerva was catty.
"We are noble and brave. I just guess hanging out with Mara is rubbing off." She stretched and stood up.
Albus' eyes twinkled more. A foot was kicking and somebody was moving side to side.
"I think I finished packing and I'll head up to bed. Don't stay up too late, boys." Minerva kissed Albus and Harry good night.
Harry and Albus stayed up later than they should, thanks to the caffeine in the chocolate of the dozens 'smores they had. Of course, Minerva never knew.
