A/N: This is a Wicked/Harry Potter Crossover. I hope you enjoy! This is the chapter where we learn the history of Albus and Minerva.
On September the first, Harry started in Oz's Primary School. Harry was so excited to start in a school where there was nobody afraid of his cousin Dudley and the teachers did not think he was a freak.
At about eight that morning, Harry and Minerva flooed over to the school. The school looked like something out of a book Harry read in the Muggle world.
"Wow! Mum, school looks awesome!" Harry said.
"Well, let's go meet your principal, Madam Morrible," smiled Minerva.
Harry and Minerva went into the principal's office. There, Madam Morrible was reprimanding a student.
"THE NEXT TIME YOU SAY THAT AGAIN, I SHALL KICK YOU OUT OF SCHOOL!" she screamed. The student ran out of her office and Madam Morrible stepped out to greet Harry and Minerva.
"Hello, you must be Harry Potter," she said sweetly. Harry stepped back from her.
"He's very shy," said Minerva.
"I know. I read your letter, Professor," said Madam Morrible as she squat down to his height. "That will just be something we have to work out, right little boy?"
Harry gulped.
"Come on, I'll take you to your class," smiled Madam Morrible. "Professor, you may go now. I hope all is well at Hogwarts."
Then Minerva knelt down to Harry. "I'll pick you up at two today, sweetie," she said before she gave him a peck on the cheek. "Have fun and listen to your teachers." Minerva flooed back to Hogwarts.
After she left, Madam Morrible leaned into the boy.
"All right, now let's go to your class," she said. "According to your guardian, you have the reading level of a third grader, which is good since you are eight. Your teacher is Miss Little." She opened the door and showed Harry into the classroom.
"Hello class," said the teacher. "Today we have a new student with us. His name is Harry Potter."
The students gasped and gawked at him because they knew he was "The-Boy-Who-Lived."
"Wow! You are the real Harry Potter!" said a green girl.
"Elphaeba! It's not polite to gawk!" snapped Miss Little. "Harry, why don't you tell us about yourself?"
"M-my name is Harry Potter, I lived in Whinging, now in this world with my…guardian," said Harry.
"Very nice," said the teacher. "Go take a seat over by Galinda."
Harry took his seat next to the girl decked out in pink.
"Now class, open your books and turn to page 250. We will continue reading Sacajawea.
The students opened their books and read Sacajawea.
Later that day, Harry had to write an essay about his family.
I had two families. My first family was the Dursleys. They were what my mum called muggles. They locked me in a closet and made me eat rotten food. Sometimes, they would beat me with a belt. One night, mum found me and saved me from these horrid people. I live with mum at Hogwarts. She is a teacher. She is nice. I love my mum. I also have Aunt Poppy, Uncle Sev, and Aunt Ro. They sometimes take care of me when mum has to teach. I do not know too much about my new family. I like them so far.
After school, Harry's teacher gave him a note to give to Minerva. When Minerva read it, she was shocked!
"Harry! This is wonderful!" she smiled.
"What do you mean, mum?" asked Harry.
"You talked about the Dursley's! This is great son!" said Minerva as she hugged him tightly. "I am so proud of you!"
When they got back to Hogwarts, they went to Minerva's chambers so Harry could work on his homework before school the next day. While Harry was working on his school work, Albus stopped by.
"Hello, Albus," said Minerva. "What do I owe the pleasure?"
"I just wanted to tell you that I got the paperwork done for the lad," he said with a weak smile. "The Dursleys are in prison now."
"Wonderful!" exclaimed Minerva. "Thank you. How can I repay you?" "Just tell me that you forgive me for being a foolish old man," said Albus. "Albus, I understand," said Minerva as she patted his hand. "Mina was your world and so was Jessop."
Albus gave her a weak smile and then turned away. "That's not all of it. I also feel so damn awful about leaving Harry with those people. I should have listened to you and let you take Harry in, but then there was the issue with the Blood Wards, so living with you was out of the question. Then you mentioned that you made an unbreakable vow with Opal Potter and I looked it and apparently, unbreakable vow overrides the Blood Wards."
"I guess you were afraid to break the rules," said Minerva. "At one time, you weren't."
"That's changed since I lost Mina and Jessop," sighed Albus. "There is nothing worse in the world than to see your wife and son die right in front of you. It was so awful, Min. Hearing their screams and pleads for mercy. I thought I would never live to see the day. I thought losing you forty years ago was the worst thing I did, but then twenty-years later, this happened."
"Oh Albus, I never knew that you still cared," smiled Minerva.
"Why did you leave me?" asked Albus.
"I was young and wanted to be an Auror so bad," explained Minerva. "I wanted to do things that no witch had ever gotten the opportunity to do. I felt like I was defying gravity! After that major battle with Grindlewald, you and I spent months at St. Mungo's. I almost died and you did too. When you recovered, you went back to Hogwarts and wanted me to come too, but I wanted to go out and do a service for man kind."
"Then you came back in my life six months after I lost Mina and Jessop. I could not bear to be near anybody again in fears that I would grow attached and lose them," said Albus.
Minerva bowed her head and knew what he was talking about.
"I know how you feel. After we parted, I had a son," Minerva smiled weakly. "His name was Albert. Albert was only a toddler when he died. He was really sick. His father was no help and then after Albert died, his father left me. I must have been such a wreck that Poppy and Rolonda refused to leave my side for the next year or so. I had to leave my job as Auror because it was too much. Then I heard about an opening here and decided to become a teacher again. It felt that my life has come back to normal and that those ten years never existed. I eventually became a mother again. I practically adopted Lily Evens when she was thirteen and her sister disowned her. She and I were close and were family. Then when she announced that she was going to marry James Potter, I was full of joy! His mother Opal and I were very close as children. When Harry was born, I was very excited to be a grandmother. Then he came and killed my happiness. First Opal and Hank, then Lily and James. All in one night. I was very happy that Harry survived, but devastated that he was to be raised by the Dursleys. Now that I have him back, my life is complete." "Really?" asked Albus as he held her hand. "Not almost?" "Albus, I don't know," said Minerva as she pulled away from him. "I cannot have a relationship right now. Harry needs me and I have to help him get through a few things before I can have intimacy. I'm so sorry."
Albus smiled and said: "I'll wait for you, Tabby."
Minerva smiled back at him.
Harry entered the room and saw Albus talking with Minerva.
"Hello Mr. Dumbledore," politely said Harry as he gave Minerva his schoolwork for her to check. "Hello Harry," smiled Albus. "Call me Uncle Albus."
"Okay Uncle Albus," said Harry.
"So, a little birdie told me that you started school today. How was it?" asked Albus.
"It's all right," said Harry. "Madam Morrible is really scary though." "Really? She was that way when I went there," smiled Albus.
"Wow! She must be really old!" said Harry with wide eyes. Albus just laughed at him.
"Well son, your work looks good," smiled Minerva. "Go wash up for dinner." Harry went into the bathroom to wash his hands.
"He is a sweet little boy," said Minerva.
"I like him a lot," said Albus. "Min, let me help you help him."
"I just want him to stop having those nightmares," said Minerva. "It scares me and nearly breaks my heart every time he does that."
Then Harry came out of the bathroom.
"Here I am! Ready to eat!" chimed Harry.
"Are you going to eat in the Great Hall?" asked Albus.
"I think so," said Minerva. "Do you want to, Harry?"
"Sure," said Harry. "Let's go!"
"Go on ahead, Harry," said Albus. "Your mum and I need to talk."
Harry skipped ahead to the Great Hall while Albus talked to Minerva.
"Now who is the Harlot you were referring to?" asked Albus with a twinkle in his eye.
Minerva blushed.
"No one. I just wanted to hurt you," she said.
Albus gave her hand a tight squeeze and walked with her to the Great Hall.
A/N: There you have it! Albus is trying to get Minerva back and he is actually a decent man! I hope you liked it!
