Time magic
*disclaimer* I don't own any of Harry potter or characters
this is a small chapter I think and that just so I can give you an idea the relationships happening between the others in Hermione's life. I don't want to much smut when I'm throwing a plot in so give me some time.
Classes have finished and the completed tests have been sent to the ministry for results to be sent back before the final day. The students had a last breakfast before heading down to the train and the seventh year students all had all their results that morning. Most included certificates while others meant they didn't high enough on the exams to qualify for much more than minority jobs in the wizard in the world.
Hermione's came back her first day substitute teaching and her papers pretty much said she could do anything she wanted, she was doing it and so she sent word to the ministry she would be taking up the teaching post Minerva offered and if anything came to mind for a side she would let them know. She wouldn't but it didn't matter as so far she didn't have anything else in mind.
The only thing she had in mind was the fact her lover and former teacher had invited her to join her for the summer. She had no where else to go and so she excepted. Her parents were happy in Australia even when she had gone to find them over the summer the year before. She didn't have a way to help them get there home back or anything so they choose to stay and if she could visit she would. But to the wizard in world it wasn't a common place to go an so there were limitations with fast travel.
Going to Minerva's though wasn't out of needs no because if she needed she would go to The Burrow or Grimmald place. Even Harry had moved been holding up two places his parents place in Godric Hollow and Grimmald place. None of those places though were where she wanted to be. Minerva lived in the highlands of Scotland. Very beautiful if she could even find the words to decribe the way the green of the land looked, how the sounds of the language was like something of old age and powerful, or the way the lands it's self gave off a dream like feeling. It was so serene it took her mind off the million things she had on her mind just before Minerva had swept her up with a portkey.
First of those things had been how Ginny was headed home after not speaking to her for a week. After not telling her how she felt about Minerva and herself being together. She just wouldn't say but it's not like she looked pissed or angry for Ron. No she just wouldn't talk. A calm collected attitude that told Hermione nothing of Ginny's intentions when she went home. If she would have letters or howlers greeting her the next morning. If Ron might try to find her and yell at her for forget about him.
Honestly it was kisses that well hadn't meant much after things had settled down. She wanted to feel like her last moments would be with someone just as she wasn't sure over the year we were on the run if it would be my last day. Sure she wanted to be with him when she thought she was jealous of him and lavender but the more they got closer the more Hermione realized she didn't like him the same he liked her and not nearly as much as she love Minerva. Who would have thought Minerva would ever be a possibility Hermione certainly only dreamed of it and that wasn't good enough so she used Ron.
Hermione didn't mean to and maybe they would understand that. It's not like Hermione had written Ron back ever on the topic of them. She avoided it and Harry never forced her to but now Ginny could tell Ron she had moved on. Which would lead to Ron losing himself in that famous Weasley rage. The trip was really a good way to forget that possibility happening but they both knew it would still be there when they got back to London.
until then Minerva was trying to distract her. It really wasn't that hard as we landed in a field of green and hills. Immediately everything faded 's slim fingers laced with Hermione's and pulled her along to the big mansion in the distance of the field. The Scotland colors catch hermione's eyes and she feels her heart flutter as minerva truly does look marvelous with the sight of her family home. Everyone had always said minerva was one of the McGonagall's most goergous women and she really was. Now Hermione had her all to herself.
The mansion looked wonderful but it was more than like that they both would want to wait till the next morning to have a tour. It was accurate enough because as soon as Minerva opened the doors Minerva made sure the luggage was upstairs and that the first room they went in was hers.
"Can we just sleep Hermione? It's been a long day and I just want to sleep next to you." Hermione nodded because she understood.
"Of course Min, I would be happy to hold you." Minerva unclasped her her gown and the altered professor robes that fell to the floor. The exposed fair milky skin made Hermione bite her lip. It was still a special thing to see Minerva as young as she is now. Quite a few times Hermione had to tell herself that the woman before her was still the same stunning woman she loved as and older woman. It was a gift one that aeverytime she got to look at the love of her life like this it was so hard to not give into the urge to touch. Before she knew it though Minerva was in dressing her.
"I think it would be much better if you slept naked with me too my love."
"Right. I hope you don't mind me being here. I know it's a lot. I mean no one has been here in over 30 years" Minerva silences her further nervous induced ramblings with a kiss and pulling her into bed. She loved the way her skin felt against Hermione's, like the aged skin would have felt rough and her younger self fit next to her love perfectly.
"You are not just anybody. An tomorrow you will see everyone will like you." They rolled to there sides and spooned closely to stay warm and until the moment sleep came Hermione wondered exactly who everyone was because the mansion sure seemed empty when they arrived.
Review please!
I hope you don't mind this and actually find it helpful. As I pointed out Ron and Hermione did date but Hermione thought it didn't work out because she realized she was in love with Minerva. Ginny has probably figured out Hermione's seeing Minerva and is mad or she's mad over something else. Hermione has been worrying about what them and everyone else is going to say when the news gets out.
