Albus shut it down!

The next morning, Minerva was doing some stats while Filius was teaching. For an hour already, Albus had been trying to disturb her.

"Minerva…"

She sighed.

"Minerva…"

She put her quill down, closed her eyes, opened them and picked it again.

"Minerva…"

"Oh! For Merlin's sake, Albus shut it down!"

"I heard you last night."

"Liar. You know as well as I do that I'm quiet. Now do the same."

She dipped her quill in the ink

"Minerva…"

She crushed her quill on the desk and breathed heavily. She took a new one but before she could dip it in…

"Minerva…"

She clenched her fist so tight she broke the quill.

"Minerva…"

"What is it now, Albus?"

"Is he better than me?"

She hissed before transforming herself into a cat and jumping through the window.

"That wasn't a question to ask a Lady, Albus!" Dilys exclaimed.

"And frankly I prefer to see her as a spinster," Severus shouted.

"Yet I would have liked watching them making you," Nigellus confessed.

"That is exactly why they waited until you were gone," Dilys pointed.

"Because you did that here?" Severus asked her father, revolted.

But Albus was quite opportunely asleep in his frame.

"They are far from being the only ones," Armando began. "I remember…"

"I don't want to hear it!" Severus exclaimed.

He disappeared. The door opened not long after.

"Minerva?" Filius called.

"She jumped through the window. You'll find her in the park."

"Thank you Dilys."

He walked to the door.

"Filius!" Albus called

"Yes?"

"How did you find her?"

"Amazing."
