Minerva stood in front of the full length mirror in her bedroom and stared critically at her nude form. Her pregnant belly was large and her skin stretched oddly about her belly. She expected to have stretch marks after the twins birth not that she minded too much. Her body was littered with scars and she saw them as badges of honor.
Minerva had dreamed of this moment for a lifetime and would cherish it as long as she lived. She was grateful for her older twins and would be forever grateful for their involvement in her life but at the same time she had always longed for the entire experience. She wanted to witness her own pregnancy, her children's birth and wanted to breastfeed them. She wanted to watch them grow and learn!
"Merlin you are gorgeous," Severus said huskily.
Minerva caught his reflection in the mirror and gasped at the intensity she saw in his black orbs. Lust was clearly present in his eyes. He slowly stepped behind her and pressed a kiss to her shoulder. His pale hands touched her shoulders and slowly slid down her body, touching her lovingly. The sides of her breasts were glazed, the swell of her belly caressed, her hips touched teasingly before he moved back up to knead her breasts.
She moaned and allowed her head to fall back against his shoulder. "Severus," she pleaded.
He chuckled before drawing his wand and removing his clothing. He laid his wand next to hers on the nightstand. He pushed her gently towards the wall and smirked when her back touched the coolness of the stone. He kissed her passionately before dropping to his knees and kissing her womanly folds. She moaned before squealing as he drove right in with his tongue and questing fingers. She knew nothing else but him for a quite a while after that!
Minerva rolled her eyes in agitation as she watched Albus bloody Dumbledore try to interfere with Harry's plans once again. Albus had learned of Filius' plans to have Harry and Hermione apprecentice under him and was attempting to stop it. "You have no say in who I can apprecentice," Filius Flitwick argued. "School is not in session and their apprecenticeships will not interfere with my Hogwarts' duties."
"Hogwarts cannot be used during the summer," he countered with his grandfatherly appearance. "I have been called away by the ICW and will not be present."
Minerva rolled her eyes at that. The wizard must believe everyone around him was ignorant or would take his word as fact. She opened her mouth to argue but quickly closed it as Harry opened his own to speak. "According to the school charter, you cannot deny access to education to anyone while there is a willing teacher. Professor Flitwick has graciously accepted my wife and me as his apprecentices and we plan to dedicate our free time learning what he has to teach us. Also, you overlooked one major detail in your plans to deny us access to Hogwarts. As Gryffindor's rightful heir, I am entitled to stay at Hogwarts my entire life if I choose. You should know that as Headmaster and if you don't I suggest you brush up on the fundamentals of Hogwarts."
Minerva smirked at the utter bewilderment on Albus' face. "Harry is correct Albus," she offered. "Continue pushing him and he can see you dismissed as Headmaster. It is well documented the Potter line mingled with the Gryffindor line and are the rightful heirs."
"You would love to see me leave," Albus said bitterly. "You are itching to take over the headship yourself."
Minerva McGonagall Snape stood up and glared at Albus. "I would like to see you gone," she admitted. "However, I would rather see you held accountable for your misdeeds more. I have warned you time and time again to stop interfering with my children. You have yet to listened. I plan to have Severus fetch my treasure trove of damning evidence regarding you and broadcast it to the Magical World."
Albus gave her a hard look. "You wouldn't dare," he yelled angrily. He pointed to Hermione and Robert. "Your children would suffer because of it!"
"Be that as it may," she sighed as she looked at her children sadly. "I see no other way! You will continually interfere with Harry and Hermione's lives. I cannot allow that to continue. You have managed to sidestep the unbreakable vow you have taken."
"Now, now Minerva," he said mockingly. "You do not want such knowledge to be public. It would damn your children's future."
"They shall overcome it," a feminine voice offered from the corner of the room.
"Arwen," Minerva whispered.
Ghostly Arwen winked at her before gliding closer to their children. Ghostly fingers caressed Robert's face and then Hermione's affectionately. "It shall work out dear hearts," she whispered soothingly to them before gliding in front of Albus. "Your time of reckoning has come old man."
Albus was pale as a ghost as he stared at the ghostly figure of his daughter. "You're dead," he whispered. "You moved on."
Arwen chuckled darkly at him. "True," she confessed. "Death has granted me this confrontation in acknowledgement of my wife's willingness to seek justice. It is time for the world to know who Albus Dumbledore really is!"
"You can't," he said horrified. "Your children will suffer."
"Not if they are involved with exposing the truth," Arwen countered. "The world will know of your manipulations, your misdeeds and your misguided plans for our world. Your relationship with Grindelwald will be revealed to all. The world will know of my murder by your hands and the reasons why you felt the need to kill your only child."
Filius Flitwick gasped at that point but Minerva offered him a reassuring smile. Robbie and Hermione watched Arwen's every move, soaking each detail up. They had never seen her or heard her voice. Minerva moved towards her children and gripped their hands in her own. She squeezed them reassuringly as their eyes followed Arwen.
Albus glared at Arwen hatefully before pulling out his wand. She chuckled before raising an eyebrow. "Attempting to kill me a second time?" she mocked.
Albus smirked at her before moving his wand towards Minerva. "Hurting them will hurt you more," he said. "I cannot allow that information to become public knowledge."
Minerva pushed her children behind her quickly. She steadied herself before holding her hands out and calling her magic to her fingertips. She didn't have time to grab her own wand before Albus fired off a chain of curses towards them. Minerva pushed her magic out and shielded her children. Sweat poured from her but she held her magic forcefully. She would not let him harm a hair on their heads.
Filius Flitwick grabbed his own wand and wordlessly disarmed Albus. It seemed the old wizard forgot the small charms professor was still in the room. "What's the bloody hell wrong with you Albus," he questioned angrily. "Attacking a pregnant witch and your own grandchildren?"
"The knowledge they hold must not be made public," he said frantically. "You must understand it is for the betterment of our world!"
"True betterment of it or your version of it?" Filius asked in disgust. "There will never be a good enough reason to harm the innocent."
Albus sent a wordless, wandless spell at Filius and kncoked him out. He rushed Minerva and wrapped his hands around her neck and attempted to choke her. His wandless magic kept the children from inferring as he slowly trapped Minerva against the floor and his body. He applied more pressure as he watch the life drain from Minerva.
"You must fight him," Arwen whispered in Minerva's ear. "Once you are gone, nothing will stop him from murdering our children."
Minerva cried out mentally in agony at the mere thought of harm befalling her children. She reached inside herself and found her magic. She ripped the silver binds on them off violently. The dwarf said she only used half of her magic before. She needed all of it now to protect her family!
She heard the desperate cries of Robbie, Hermione and Harry as they fought against the restraining magic around them. Hermione hadn't fully managed her strength of magic yet. She had the ability to help Minerva but lacked the knowledge on how to actually do it. She wouldn't allow them to be burdened by their inability to save her.
With a strength she didn't know she had, Minerva pushed her hands to Albus' chest and forced her magic through her palms. She blasted him off of her and watched as he crumpled to the floor in a heap. She allowed darkness to overtake her when she realized Albus was unconscious.
