After a few short moments he stood from the chair casting an ever-burning charm on the fire and set off for the bedroom. When he opened the door the only light in the room was the bedside lamp. He could barely see Minerva tucked under the sheets facing the wall she had fully striped down to her slip, brushed her hair into a braid and brushed her teeth.

Albus moved over to where she lay and kissed her head, her hands where tucked under the pillow and she looked so comfy. She smiled weekly and he made for the on-suite bathroom. He too brushed his teeth and changed to his nightwear. Turning off the light he could just see Minerva shift her hips to get comfortable. Albus crossed the room again to his side of the bed and turned down the sheets. Minerva's back side was to him and he could barely see the silk of her slip just covering what he really wanted to see.

He laid down and snuggled up tight to her. His hand rested on her hip and he gently guided her back into him, Minerva sighed and shifted again turning her head to look at him. Her arm reached around to touch his face, her fingers brushing softly against his skin.

His lips found hers and again the taste of lemon and peppermint mingled between them. Minerva's hips pushed back against him and she moved them in a figure eight motion. "Albus I don't think i'm so tired anymore." she whispered her hand in his hair. Albus laughed and kissed her again more deeply.

"Are you sure you don't like 'peppermint Minerva'?" he asked. "I think shes rather enticing." Minerva laughed and turned towards him shaking her head.

"Peppermint taffy will do just fine."

"As you wish Tabby." Minerva snapped her fingers loudly and said with diction.

"Peppermint Taffy." the sound of the stone griffin below rumbled up through the bed and Minerva giggled. "There, one whole month until you can change it again." Albus shook his head and grabbed her leg pulling it up over his hip and Minerva gasped as she laughed. Their lips met for only a moment before Minerva whispered. "Turn out the light."
