A/N- Woah, I've been busy, and finally got chapter six up. Minerva has a little bit to much fun at the party. Please review, and thanks to all of my readers!

"Woah, what is going on here?" Minerva asked, while Professor Sprout put a party hat on McGonagall's head. Hagrid stepped forward from the crowd, with a red face.

"Ay we are jus' gettin' done! We thought that you er...should 'ave a proper greetin for bein' the headmistress!" he said shyly. She only laughed, and gave a bright smile to all of her staff members. This was something new. She first thought that her staff members had hated them, but now saw other wise. Everybody was having a good time listening to loud music from a muggle radio. She could see some house elves serving food and refreshments to the staff, and a huge banner was reading, "New Headmistress McGonagall". She could get used to this.

"Come on McGonagall! Have some fun!" Professor Trewlaney said, passing her a fire whisky. She took it with some thoughts on her mind. Soon she was drinking a little to much. It seemed that the pressure of her reputation with her fellow colleagues just made her want to look cool. Professor Flitwick was going to go back to the Charm's Room, so he could get ready for the first class. Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall had other ideas.

"Hey dwarf! You're leaving without giving your pal a kiss? she said with a red and sweaty face. Being drunk wasn't doing to well for her appearence. Flitwick smiled, and walked over to her. This was the perfect chance for him to take advantage of her.

"Of course baby," he said getting close to her face. Professor Flitwick was stunned though by Professor Rossiche.

"How dare you take advantage of our new headmistress!" he said spitting on Flitwick's face. Rossiche was sure that Professor Flitwick would be furious, but he was unable to move. Professor Rossiche dragged Minerva away from the party. The other staff members did not see her in her unrespectable stature though. He brought her over to the gargoyle, and said the password. Albus turned around looking shocked. Professor Dumbledore thought that his secret would have been figured out, but relaxed a little bit when he saw who it was.

"Professor Dumbledore? Minerva is feeling...ummmm...sickly right now. I canceled all of the Transfiguration classes," he said laying her down on the maroon couch. Albus looked down at her, and saw her flushed face. She looked straight back with a childish look on her face.

"Thank you Mr.Rossiche," he said, motioning him to the door. Professor Rossiche bowed, and then left in a hurry. Albus came back to the couch. Before he was able to say anything, he was being pulled on top of her.

"Albuuus...I wuv you! More than any...buudy...In the world," she said slurring her words. Albus stroked her face.

"It doesn't mean anything Minerva. Not while you're in...This condition," he said, pulling away from her arms. She pulled him back, and tried to take off his cloak.

"Make wuv to me...I neeed you," she whispered into his ear. He looked at her with caring eyes, and gave a small kiss on her cheek.

"Minerva, I love you. And someday I hope that I shall make love to you. I've always wanted to tell you that I've loved you...Both this old man is to worried to say it to you. How do I know if you truly love me if I told you? I...I would be heart broken if you didn't love me also. That's why, I can never tell you Minerva," he said with misty eyes. But the drunken Minerva didn't understand anything he had said.

"Wha?" she slurred. He looked at her solemnly, and moved the hair away from her face.

"Wha is right. This old man has been babbling to long. I guess it's just because...I've never felt this much about anybody else. You are the one women I shall always love. Now go to sleep...Tomorrow shall be another day," he said walking away from the couch. She smiled, and then went into a peaceful sleep.

Minerva went to sleep, and awoke in the morning. She had a majoy headache, and did not remember a single thing that had happened the day before. She got up from the couch, and immediently fell when her feet touched the ground. Albus came over and held her up. He did not let go of her.

"Albus, I'm so confused. I can't remember anything that I did yesterday," she said leaning against his chest. She felt comforted by this, but would never do this with any other man. It was just something as very good "friends" would do.

"Minerva, if I told you what had happened yesterday, you wouldn't believe me," he said patting her shoulder. She gave him a confused look, but he pretended as though he did not see it.

"I have the day off today. What shall we do today?" she asked, moving away and lighting a fire in the fireplace with her wand. Her tiny white owl tooted softly.

"You want to spend today with me? It's a good thing that I've been doing you headmistress duties, or else the ministry might bring in a replacment," he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" she asked. It was try though. She could not think of many things that she had done to help her new position.

"While you are out, I answer your letters pretending it's you. I tend to your filework, and many other things with paperwork. What else would I have to do all day while you're out?" he said with a smile. She felt herself getting warmer. This job sounded like something that would be easy, but with current events coming up it hasn't.

"It's all right Minerva. You're still the most respectable person that I know," he said. She calmed down a little bit. With a flick a plate of bacon and eggs levitated in front of them. They sat down on the couch, and ate and talked. She couldn't believe that she had spent the whole Summer without Albus. Now he was sitting here with her, and they were talking like good old times. "It's time to admit your love. What use is it pretending that I don't love him? He's been acting flirtatious anyways."

"Albus...I have to tell you something. I've been hiding a secret from you...For over five years even," she said using a vanishing spell to make the plated disappear.

"This must be some sort of secret then doesn't it? I've been hiding a secret from you ever since we've been children," he said reaching his hand towards her. She could feel things happening in her stomach. Does he have the same secret as she does? Does he hide a secret of love and passion?

"Well see...I...I...Albus, It's not like me to not be able to say what I want. I'm usually serious and harsh, but when I'm around you all of the rules change. I feel like a young school girl again, that's always childish and able to express their feelings. Though even as a child, I've always been formal. Until I met you...You've changed me, or at least when I'm around you. It feels like...Like I can relax, and let down my hair," she said this time grabbing his hand. Her breathing got faster. She couldn't back down. This was the moment of truth.

"Then why don't we let your hair down?" he said slowly pulling out strands of her black hair. It slowly curled down her back. He was taking his time with this. It just made her even more anxious. "It's now or never Minerva! You can be the serious child you once were, or let your wings fly you towards new land!"

"There, that's better. Minerva...When I was a young Gryffindor I always thought that you were like a young child, until that detention. Then I saw you were a caring young women. Minerva, whenever I'm around you it feels like magic. Even when I'm not casting spells. And right now, while I'm in hiding, it still feels enchanting. You make an old man crazy. Because Minerva I...," Albus stopped in mid sentence. What if she just thought of them as friends? Nothing would be the same again either way after this conversation.

"Albus, tell me that you love me," she said boldly. He looked at her, and saw a serious yet loving face. Her hand was still ontop of his. That was just like Minerva, always controlling.

"Minerva...I,"

A/N-Ooh! What happens next chapter? Will they admit their love?
