Once in their rooms, Harry sent Minerva in the direction of the bathtub while he headed towards the kitchen to make tea. It was well known that Minerva liked tea, and Harry was surprised to learn that not only did she love tea, but she preferred the exotic teas, and had cabinets full of it. Deciding on decaffeinated tea, he pulled out the box of Moroccan pomegranate red tea and made a pot. Putting it on a tray and grabbing a tin of ginger newts, he padded into their bedroom. Setting the tray down, Harry fixed Minerva a cup and went into the bathroom. Setting the cup on the sink, Harry kissed Minerva on the forehead. "Mina, sweetheart wake up."
"Mmm"
"Mina come on….wake up so you can finish your bath."
Minerva was un-compliant with Harry's entreaty. Seeing that he was getting nowhere, he picked up the washcloth and soap He gently ran it over her shoulders and collarbone, skimming over her breasts and stomach. He picked up each leg and carefully washed her feet and worked his way up, eventually brushing over her curls. Finishing, he helped Minerva to stand, toweled her off and wrapped her in a blanket that had a warming charm on it. Gently carrying her to their ed, he tucked her in. Getting ready for bed himself, Harry climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around her. I'm falling in love with her he thought as he watched her sleep. I can't believe I got lucky enough to be matched up with her. Closing his eyes, he drifted off into a dreamless and contented sleep.

Harry woke up early the next morning and met Hermione for breakfast.
"Hey 'Mione, how are things in the dungeons?"
"They're ok. Severus and I are…..adjusting to each other. He's not really that….bad."
Harry nodded.
"How are things with McGonagall?" Hermione asked.
"I'm falling in love with her 'Mione. She's got this whole other side that people don't see. She's smart and funny and incredibly sweet. She's very different from what we see every day." Harry gushed.
"I'm so happy for you." Hermione replied.
"Thanks. What are your plans or the day?"
"A visit to Snape manor."
"Sounds like fun." Hermione replied sarcastically. "How about you?"
"I'm not doing anything major."
"Sounds great. Better than my day."
"Sorry" Harry said as they left the great hall.
"It's ok. See you later."
"Bye" Harry turned around and promptly ran into Xiomara, Sylvie, Poppy and Sasha.
"Hello Mr. Potter."
"Good morning Madam Hooch."
"Where is Minerva this morning?"
"In bed."
Xiomara's smile got really wide. "Ok then, I'll talk to her later."
"Ok, have a nice day."
Harry walked back to Gryffindor tower wondering what exactly had just happened.
