A/N-It's kind of fun to write Minerva kind of flustered. I think it's just for my enjoyment though. This chapter has a pretty nice ending, and then they get a "blast from the past". Thanks to my readers, and please review!
What was wrong with herself? Of course she was a witch, so why didn't she use magic. "Because you wanted to touch his soft lips." She had to deny that though. But why did she do it? She Minerva had always been known to be calm in a time of crisis. Maybe she did want to touch his soft lips? "Nah, I wouldn't want that. Love is for the weak, and I must always be strong." Professor McGonagall went over to her Transfiguration class an hour earlier. Professor Sprout walked in.
"Minerva? I was wondering what day that meeting would be at?" she asked politely.
"That shall be tomorrow. I almost forgot about that meeting, and I was the one who assigned it," she said with a soft chuckle. Professor Sprout also laughed, but then left in a hurry. It seemed that she was keeping something hidden from Professor McGonagall. Soon classes went by in a blur, and it was time for dinner. She apparated to the great hall, and took her seat. Hagrid and Professor Sprout sat next to her.
"Oy! Professor McGonagall, when shall that meeting be at?" Hagrid also asked. She gave him the same response, and then he slightly blushed. What was up with these people, and this meeting? It was only supposed to be about some slight changes in the school. They all ate, and then later became full with treacle tart. Professor McGonagall dismissed all of the students, and then went to her headmistress office to finally meet Albus again. When she stepped inside, it seemed that he was waiting for her.
"Hello Minerva. How was it being headmistress for the first time?" he asked calmly.
"It was all right. Not as challenging as I thought it would be," she said, sitting at her desk. He just gave a slight smile.
"That's because all of the owls shall be arriving tomorrow. Many parents shall be sending complaints, but don't worry. That always happens," he said with a smile. She noticed that Dumbledore was staring down at something. It happened to be his pensieve.
"Albus? Is something wrong?" she asked him suspiciously. He gave a chuckle and shook his head.
"Minerva? Do you remember when we were just teenager's? We both were attending Hogwart's, I was in fifth year, and you were in second? That's when we met?" he asked her. Professor McGonagall nodded her head.
"Yes, that was when I found my first friend," she said with a bright smile. She enjoyed it that Dumbleore still remembered how they had met so long ago.
"Shall we visit it? I left it in the pensieve," he said still staring down at the misty liquid inside of the pearl bowl.
"It would be nice. Sure! That could be quite fun!" she said forgetting about the incident that happened just a few hours ago. Holding each other's hand, they touched the liquid in the pensieve and felt themselves going into a swirling mist.
She and Albus had arrived near the lake in Hogwarts. They looked around for some sign of themselves. Minerva pointed to a little girl that was reading a book under a tree.
"Stop it! Give that back!" a small girl yelled. That was a child form of Minerva. That moment was when a older Slytherin boy had stolen her Transfiguration book.
"And what are you going to do about this? Call one of your friend's? If you haven't noticed, you have none!" he gave a sinister laugh. He had hit a sensitive feeling. It was true that she didn't have any friends. With all of her free time, Minerva just stayed in the library and read books. She was much to harsh and serious to have any friends.
"Give it back! I'm warning you!" she yelled back. Her mouth turned thin. It seemed that she turned her mouth thin when something was wron g, even when she was a child.
"Tch, I think that the giant squid would like this as a gift. Maybe you're not to ugly to become aquaintences?" he said with a snicker. Minerva thought that her book was going to be thrown into the lake, until the boy was turned into a bull frog. She laughed, and then saw someone else grab her book.
"Is this your's? A fifth year boy asked her. Minerva nodded and grabbed her book. She looked up at him. He had long auburn hair, and a shaved beard. She looked into his stunning blue eyes. Minerva was almost lost in them, until a professor tapped him on the shoulder.
"Albus? Did you turn this poor students into a frog?" a female teacher asked. He nodded, but then Minerva stood up.
"I also did professor. It seems that you'll have to assign a detention for the both of us," she said proudly. It was the one and only detention she had ever received, and she was quite glad about it. They had to clean up the owlery, and during that they had seen they had much in common. Her first detention, and her first friend. Suddenly Minerva felt like she was swirling back into reality.
When Minerva's feet touched the ground, she gave a huge bright smile. She had almost forgotten about that time. It was so long ago, and she enjoyed that Dumbledore put it inside his pensieve.
"Albus, that was a great day. Even though we had detention that evening, it was still one of the greatest days of my life," she said, putting her loose hair into a bun. It seemed that after all of that swirling, it came loose from all of the hairpins.
"I too Minerva. Though that was one of the very few detentions I had, it was quite enjoyable to spend it with you," he said and lifted his hand to his lips and gave a soft kiss. She smiled, and then she could feel Albus' arms wrapping around her waist.
"It is also quite enjoyable to spend time with you right now," he whispered into her ear. "Make a move Minerva! You know he wants you!". He slowly leaned in for a kiss with her and paused. She could feel his hot breath against her neck.
"Albus, I need you," she said softly. His blue eyes were twinkling. What was she saying? He surely didn't love her, they were just good friends. He the leaned even closer for a kiss, until a loud cough interrupted them.
"I see that Professor Dumbledore is actually alive."
A/N- Bum Bum Bum...Somebody realises are favorite couple's secret! In the next chapter, something special happens to Minerva during the meeting. This one was pretty short, but I didn't want it to be to long...
