Time magic

*disclaimer* I don't own any of Harry potter or characters

its a few chapters I suppose but you let me know if I should continue or not. I have a main story I'm working on and so this will be little by little I think but regular.

It did not take long before everyone knew how hard Hermione was trying to graduate early by taking her exams early. Everyone asked her why she was trying so hard and what was her answer, that she didn't want to miss a chance to be with someone because of boundaries. This lead to a many of more questions all of which she refused to answer just yet. Until the day she received word that she was free of school rules she would allow her one response to sink in and prepare others for what she really meant.

Some thought that she had a secret lover that she ran into during her year on the run, some said it was the distance from Ron Weasley, and others said it wasn't anyone, that the smartest one of The Golden Trio wanted to be better than everyone and finish first. Hermione and Minerva both laughed at the notion because it was utterly true to their nature but simply not the case today.

It was just over a week still till finals and graduation when Hermione got the news by owl after Minerva had by the one of minister's education council Minerva sought Hermione out which led to a passionate embrace in the library. Of course the books calmed Hermione and helped her with her doubt in herself passing the exams. The library was busy that day though not in the section Minerva had found her lover. The muggle section, generally used for muggle studies or to help half-bloods to feel something normal was around.

"What did you tell them I did for the hands on part of the test?" Hermione asked quite seriously with no pun intended. Minerva's inner mind chuckled still.

"The truth of course." Her eyes widen. If it was possible Minerva would have lead her on but she could see the panic in her eyes. It was torture to play with her so she just didn't. "Well they will think that it is nothing more than the truth. You simply preformed a desk in a wooden sparrow having full motion functions." Minerva knew that Hermione was skilled enough for such a feat and didn't worry in the slighted when she had written it down.

"Really oh good least that is something I could do and not something beyond my ability. Though you would know what I'm capable of would you." It wasn't a question more like a tease that caused Minerva to blush and look around for peering eyes or ears. At this Hermione did as well but smirked as there was none and yet Minerva was still very shy, too shy to answer.

"Yes well you are now a non student and though I'm sure you have much to run off and do with your freedom you may stay until the other students go as well."

"Mm and what ever shall I do with my free time." Minerva's mind shouts 'me' but her lips stay hard pressed urging some self control. Something which Hermione had yet to stop enjoying the lack of. "I suppose I could think of something.. Or someone." She purred against Minerva's lips. Minerva moaned at the words into her mouth realizing that a week was going to be so much free time and to little them time.

Much later on after Hermione had made a trip back to the Gryffindor dormitory to celebrate with Ginny and a few friends Minerva was settled in her small reading chair by the fire. She was done expecting visitor for the night, Flitwick being her last. Coming by her rooms for the hundredth to speak about what he had found that morning barely a week ago. A lecture was not needed and certainly not warranted. If it was anyone else it would be herself doing the lecture but she was the Head Mistress for a reason and no one under her would question her right mind.

It was Flitwick though and in the end she gave him a moment, just a moment before explaining that they were not in any danger as of today due to Hermione being graduted early. The truth was Minerva wished she had done it sooner, Hermione's exams that is. Hermione would have done well no matter what day Minerva had asked her to do them. So he grumbled and he made her feel very guilty but Minerva was built for keeping strong in the face of ridicule not that Flitwick would ever seriously attempt to.

She wasn't light when it was her turn to speak as she told him a number of things that lead to a stuttering self dismissal. She did not feel the need to correct her actions after she clarified that if she was to date a now former student and he had a problem with it she would be forced to judge his relationship with a now former teacher. Due to last year's war leaving his girlfriend injured he had been taking leave more often on the weekends. She had allowed having known the two were dating for almost two years before. It was a low key kind of thing, never spoken off, and never used until now for Minerva's own use.

In slight of her manipulation she eased up on her long time friend giving him and out of the conversation. He took it and now she could breathe again. She could sit and enjoy her copy of weathering heights in silence to keep her mind from her teenage girlfriend celebrating away her night. She must have read the same lines twenty times before a knock drew her attention. It wasn't like her to get late night visits so she thought she'd better get it I case it was an emergency.

"Ah there is my beautiful queen." It was Hermione and Minerva was speechless never having expecting a drunk Hermione at her door.

"How much have you had to drink dear?"

"None!" Minerva held a stare. "Two, yeah two, well maybe three, or four." She mumbled stumbling inside Minerva's courters and landing in her arms. Thankfully Minerva saw the clumsiness coming and caught her in time.

"I think you need a potion. Sit." She demanded and Hermione tightly pressed her lips together but took the seat anyways. "Why are you here instead of with your friends." She giggled and Minerva felt this was going to be very not funny.

"The girls kept asking me why I finished early, they wouldn't stop asking, I decided I'd tell them I really wanted someone to see me now that I was graduated. I told them I was going to find you. Well I didn't say it was you but I still left." She gasped and jumped up only to bob in place. "do you think they could have followed me? It was a trick. Oh what will I do Minerva will kill me."

"I most certainly would not but it was quite foolish of you to come to me after declaring such a thing and in a drunk state no less. But none the less we shall deal with this as we can and you will be sobering up now. Bottoms up." Hermione takes the glass and drinks all three mouthfuls before finishing it. Mock gagging at the after taste Hermione's face paled and scrunched up in time to hold in her vomit until a basin was summoned for her. She projected what seemed like all the alcohol in her system. Way more than three drinks. Minerva covered her nose but decided soothing circles was best. Hermione look up with a meek smile.

"Wow that works fast." If you knew Hermione like Minerva did you could see the gear working trying to piece together the potion. Minerva lead her to a chair to let her gain some energy after all that expelling of alcohol. She kneeled beside the chair at Hermione's feet, something that before would have been impossible. Her eyes waited for Hermione's to search for hers. The way they connected when they held that gaze felt so youthful so lovely. Minerva still felt like an old soul but the way Hermione made her feel with just a look was just the opposite.

"Hermione tell me can you remember what you did while drinking, do the others know your here." With a bit to her lip she nodded and Minerva hung her head unsure what to do next. Just as Minerva went to respond she heard a sniff and watched as a tear rolled down Hermione's cheek.

"I specifically said I was going to make sure the person I graduated early for knew I was available now.. I mean who wouldn't get that. I think they know it's a teacher.. But your not a teacher, Your younger, and you said you want this. Please don't push me away for this I'm sorry."

"Shush shush it's okay you're right and I swear if anyone asked or found out I would admit while in this form I can't help but feel attracted to you. You and I both know that not entirely true but it's what is best." Hermione nods and Minerva takes her in her arms and takes her to bed. "Let's sleep." With a kiss to her forehead they lay down for the night. The moment Minerva's head hit the pillow and Hermione rested on top of her chest rest found her easy.
