"Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed.
"Professor" Harry spoke up "now that everyone knows about….things, will you get sacked?"
Severus snorted and his wife, Xiomara Hooch smacked his arm.
"No Harry, she won't. Everyone is too afraid of Voldemort, and, many people know that Minerva would giver her life before she let Tom hurt any of you children."
"Well" Albus spoke up. "I think we should go and let Minerva and Miss McGonagall rest. Harry, Mr. Weasley, I trust you'll keep tonight's discussions in your confidence?"
Both boys nodded.
"Good. I'll see you all later." He dismissed the others with his words and turned back to Minerva and Hermione.
"Hermione I think it would be best if you stayed here, rather than the dormitories."
Hermione nodded. "Yes professor."
Albus kissed Minerva on the forehead. "We'll talk later my dear. Goodnight Ladies." He said by way of parting.
Minerva and Hermione just stood there in awkward silence. "So…" Minerva trailed off.
"Can I sleep with you?" Hermione asked.
"If you want. Go change in to your pajamas. I believe that your things are in the first room on the left."
Five minutes later, Hermione was changed and trying to locate Minerva.
"Mama?" she called. Minerva immediately appeared in the doorway at the end of the hall.
"You don't have to call me that, you know." She said as she climbed into bed.
"I want to. I always thought of you as a second mom. You've been here for me when mom can't."
Once they were both settled under the Gryffindor red down comforter, Hermione curled into Minerva's side as Minerva wrapped her arms around her daughter.
"I love you with all my heart 'mione. Sleep well."
"Goodnight mama, I love you too."
