A/N: Thanks for your support!
As the late night fell, Minerva fell asleep in the empty bed next to Harry. She closed her eyes and remembered times when Albus was a good man. Damn Grindlewald for messing it up for them!
Minerva was an Auror at the time. She fought against Grindlewald by Albus's side. At one time, they were lovers. Then after the fall of Grindlewald, Albus and Minerva parted their ways and lost contact until ten years later, she decided that the Auror's life was not for her. She became a Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts and met up with Albus as her new boss, but this was not the Albus Minerva once knew. This Albus was cold and distant. He did not socialize much with the other professors or anything.
One day, Minerva heard from Professor Flitwick that Albus was married to a wonderful woman named Mina. Mina was the apple of his eye until she died at the hands of the Dark Lord. Minerva knew who the Dark Lord was.
Her thoughts were interrupted when Harry started screaming in his sleep. Minerva rushed to his bedside and comforted him.
"Harry, it's okay," she whispered. "I'm here and Nothing is going to harm you."
Harry woke up and saw Minerva hugging him. This was the first real human affection he had ever known. Harry did not know how to react so he pulled away from Minerva.
"Harry sorry to wake you up," he mumbled as he looked away from Minerva.
Minerva placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Don't be," she smiled. "I was having a nightmare too. What was your nightmare about?" "Harry does not want to talk about it. Harry is a freak," Harry said.
"If you don't want to talk about it now, then perhaps tomorrow?" smiled Minerva.
The next day, Harry's bones had completely healed (A/N: It must be nice to be a wizard!) and Minerva took him to her Chambers. When she got there, she saw that a child's room with crimson (a shade of red), corn (shade of yellow), blue, and green were the theme colors and a twin bed was next to the window. Then there was a toy box filled with Muggle toys and a closet filled with clothes. Harry went to the closet and pulled all of the clothes out of it.
"Harry? What are you doing?" asked Minerva.
"Harry clean his room," his mumbled. "This where freak sleeps." "Harry, you don't sleep in this! You sleep on the bed, like you did the last few nights," said Minerva in horror. "Don't you remember?" "Harry sorry," said Harry as he started cleaning up his mess. Minerva helped him too.
"Good boy," smiled Minerva. "You know that you can come to me if you need anything, right?" Harry nodded.
The next day, Minerva started to teach Harry how to properly speak English and by the end of the day, he was not referring himself in the third person.
"Har-I like my new room," Harry said as he was writing his sentence on the parchment. Minerva looked at him and smiled.
"Very good."
Later that night, the nightmares started up again.
"No! I am a good boy! No!"
Again, Minerva ran in there to comfort him.
"Harry!"
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere, now a days
I'll send them howling, I don't care, I've got ways…
Harry woke up and saw Minerva. This time he let her hold her.
"Harry, if you tell me what happened, then these nightmares will go away forever," she smiled.
Harry thought for a moment.
"You said my mother and father were murdered, right?" Minerva nodded. "I see them dying."
Minerva hugged Harry even tighter. "They are gone now, but you have me, don't worry child," she said.
"Sometimes, I am back at the Dursley's," he sobbed.
"Harry, you will never have to go back there for as long as you live. I took a vow with your grandmother, Opal on her death bed," said Minerva.
"I had a grandmother?"
Minerva nodded. "Now you have no family left, except for me, that is if you would like."
"Aunt Min, did you know me when I was a baby?"
Minerva did indeed knew Harry Potter as a baby. She babysat him for Lily and James when they would go out or go to Order meetings. She would entertain him by transfiguring into a cat and let him play with her.
When she got the news about the Potters, her heart sank, but felt hopeful when she found out that Harry had lived!
Then her heart sank again when Albus told her the Dursleys were going to raise him.
Minerva remembered warning Albus about them, but the old bat did not listen to her.
Now here Minerva was with Harry Potter.
"You were a good baby," Minerva smiled. "Always happy."
"I was?"
"You liked playing with cats. You also liked it when I turned into a cat," she smiled.
Harry smiled.
"What did the Dursley's do to you?"
Then Harry frown. "Mean things…"
Minerva studied the boy as she started to think of unmentionable things one could do to a seven-year-old. It could not have been rape because there was no sexual abrasions on his body.
"Sometimes they would do some really mean things," said Harry as he curled up in his sheets even tighter. "I go to the hospital a few times. Only 'cause Mrs. Figgs would take me if I were sleeping outside."
"Outside?"
Harry hide under his blankets.
"Even when raining."
Minerva's mind went blank. She pulled the frightened child from the blankets.
"Arabella never told me that," said Minerva. "They did other things too," said Harry. "One time, they made me eat orange peels and three-day-old-bread."
Minerva looked at the child in horror again. How could they do such horrible things to him? He is such a sweet child.
"Aunt Min?"
"Yes love?"
"You don't make me do those things, would you?" Harry asked as he pulled the covers up to his face. Minerva pulled them down and made him look at her.
"Look at me, son," said Minerva. "I would never do that you. Never!"
Harry looked at Minerva as if he were going to tell her that he loves her. At first, Minerva did not know how to react to that look, but then she smiled at the boy because she truly loves him too.
A/N: Just wait until the next chapter! There will be more Minerva and Albus history and Harry's Aunt and Uncle will be dealt with. Maybe we will find out who the hot harlot is that Albus is feeding Lemon Sherbets to!
