A/N- Interesting chapter. I added some Tonks and Lupin in it, hope you like! Thanks to my reader's and please review!

"The minister of magic! Oh no, that mean's that he knows that you're still alive!" she yelled out. He shook his head.

"He ummm...Well...The word I'd like to say is...He won't be able to move around...For a while," he said, with a slightly embarassed tone. Minerva gave a loud gasp. She had an idea about what Albus was about to say.

"What do you mean? You're not saying...That you killed him?" she asked shaking. Minerva knew that Dumbledore didn't have it in him to kill, but she wasn't sure about him these days.

"Of course not! Professor Rossiche saw him snooping around your office, and right before he saw me he had Petrificus Totales used on him. Then he used a memory charm on him. But he used a little to magic magic on the Petfrificus Totales. Even after saying the repellent, Scrigmeour could not move. That's why he's in your bathroom cupboard," Dumbledore said cooly. Now Professor McGonagall was panicking.

"Albus! You can't keep the minister of magic in a cupboard! Especially "my" cupboard!" she yelled. Albus only laughed.

"Oh Minerva, you always get so stressed out from these things! Scrimgeour didn't have anybody with him, and they don't suspect him to be back for a couple of days," Albus said softly. He was still healing from the harsh life he had, but he has been getting so well that he could feed himself. This made Minerva slightly depressed, because she liked thinking that Dumbledore needed her. But then she just remembered something.

"...Are you in love with anybody?" she asked randomly.

"There's many people I care about Minerva! I care about that whole staff, and many of our students," he said sarcastically.

"I mean, anybody you'd like to caress, hold, kiss, and many other things. Like...Like a partner for life," she said softly. This made her sound very strange, but she needed to know.

"Yes, I definitely love a women," he said easily. She admired this...But did this mean that he really did love Professor Sprout? Did he not love her, and truly wanted to be with Sprout? Maybe she was just interfering with his relationship with Professor Sprout.

"I see Albus...I must be going now," she said feeling her eyes get watery. When she was about to leave his side, she felt a warm hand grab her's

"Don't leave Minerva," he said holding her hand. Professor McGonagall gazed into his crystal blue eyes, but did not feel compassion...She felt rage and wanted to leave him.

"Albus, go ask Pomona Sprout to take care of you!" she yelled letting go of his hand. Minerva could feel hot tears running down her face. She couldn't help it, it was to much. He wasn't in love with her, and he even admitted it. He said that he was in love with a women!

"Pomona? The herbologist teacher? I don't know if she has any remedies that will heal me," he said confused. This just got her into an all out rage. He was acting like he didn't know. He definitely knew, especially since Professor Sprout was saying that something was going on. At first she thought it was ludicrous, but now he was acting like it was true! He probably visited her while she was gone.

"You love her don't you! Well, I hope you both will be happy together!" she screamed. Albus was lying down looking as calm as ever. She wanted to hurt him, she wanted to scream at him...But she still loved him. That's why those feelings were so strong. Because Minerva McGonagall truly loved him.

"Minerva, please sit down," he said pointing to the edge of the bed. She slowly sat down, and felt a hand coming towards her face. She slapped it away.

"Did anything happen...While I was gone?" he asked worried. Minerva didn't know where to begin. She thought that he loved her...All of those kisses...All of the times she was in his arms...The bathtub, her trying to drive him in a sexual craze. It all was with Lockhart. Though she did have a real kiss with him once, and only once. But not it seemed like it didn't mean anything.

"Yes, many things did happen," she said cooling down. The tears stopped falling.

"Are you able to tell me about them?"

"Albus, you wouldn't believe me if I told you," she said casually.

"Yes I would Minerva. I always believe you."

"Well, Lockhart acted like he loved me. Well, I thought it was you at the time," she said nervously.

"I see, and what did you say when Gilderoy told you?"

"It was confusing...I'ts not a big deal. So, what are we going to do about Scrigmeour?" she asked, trying to change the subject. Unfortunately Professor Dumbledore knew what she was planning.

"We can deal with the minister later. It is a big deal Minerva. Did you tell Lockhart that you also love the supposedly me?"

"Albus...What would you ever say if I told you that I did love you?" she asked.

"I would tell you that I...That...So, that Scrigmeour problem. I believe that we should try to revive him with some awakening spells instead. He might just be unconsious," he said trying to slip his body off of the bed, but she pushed him back down. Minerva moved herself up to his ear so he could only hear.

"I told that Albus, that I also loved him," she whispered passionatly. She looked at him, and saw that Albus was slightly blushing.

"That definitely surprises me Minerva. Did you just say that so, the supposedly me wouldn't feel embarassed?"

"The cat never tells," and she slipped out of the room. Minerva walked into the bathroom, and looked in the cupboard. A body fell ontop of her.

"What am I going to do! I'll just have to disapparate him to the ministry of magic, and have him only remembering that he was there!"

She did use an awakening spell, and sure enough he woke up. Before Scrimgeour had a chance to realize where he was, Minerva dissaperated him to the ministry. Minerva gave a sigh of relief, and heard a knock on the gargoyle. She opened the door, and Tonks walked inside her office.

"Hello Nymphadora, thank you for covering for my class today!" she said. Tonks just gave a shrug.

"No problem Minerva! Those little munchkin's were a huge blast. Enjoyed seeing me changing my hair color. Minerva, I actually want to ask of you a favor," Tonks said shifting her feet. Minerva just gave a fake smile.

"I'd do anything you ask Nymphadora! Just say the word!"

"You don't have to be fake, I wanted to see if you could help me with...Well...With Lupin," she said nervously. Her hair color just turned into a bright pink, and her cheeks brighter.

"Of course Nymphadora. I do enjoy a bit of romance," she said. Tonks gave a bright smile.

"Good! I've been trying to tell him that I don't care that he does dangerous things, and is quite older than me. In fact, I love it that he's even a werewolf!" she said with a bright smile.

"Okay, I'll tell you a few things of romance," she said sitting down on her couch, next to the fireplace.

"It's kind of funny that I'm asking you of all people for advice. You've never been in love!" she said sarcastically. Minerva just shrugged it off.

"I am in love with now. Now, shall you want some help or not?"

"Yes Minerva, I'm sorry. You just don't seem like the person to be compassionate. I mean uhhhh...Never mind."

"I know that you've already told him...Now try to kiss him, and see his reaction," Minerva said full of adrenaline.

"I can't do that! Could you come to headquarter's with me real quick? I just need you to be invisible. It would be much better if you were also there with me Minerva. Please?" Tonks asked. Minerva nodded, and they went to the headquarter's from floo powder. Minerva had already used a spell to make herself invisible. When they got out Lupin was standing right next to the fireplace already.

"Ah Tonks, you're back so soon! Did Minerva start teaching again?" he asked curiously. Tonks shook her head.

"No, I came back to see you Remus," she said in a high pitched squeak. Lupin just raised his eyebrows.

"I told you Tonks. You deserve better!" he said putting his hands on her shoulder. Minerva went over to Nymphadora and stepped on her foot. Tonks received the message and leaned in to kiss Lupin. Nymphadora kissed him on the lips and brought her arms around his neck. She wouldn't let go for a while, until she wanted to know what would happen. Lupin looked at her with intense eyes.

"Tonks..."

"Lupin..."

A/N-Will Lupin reject Tonks, or is Minerva going to have to use some lady witchcraft to make him love Tonks? (I make Minerva use Nymphadora, because it makes her sound more sophisticated.)
