(a/n - I don't think there's much left now, since the main bit is over. I'll try and split it into several chapters, as I prefer writing in short bursts rather than long stints!) Stay The Night... It was about a week later. Minerva opened her eyes, and realised she was staring straight into some eyes. Some familiar looking eyes. She tried to remember who's eyes they were, but her head was like a hazy fog of memories, and nothing seemed definite. She screwed up her face in her efforts to remember who the person was, until she felt a soothing hand on her forehead.
"Minerva, Minerva dear? Poppy, I am Poppy. Do you remember me? I am your best friend." Minerva gathered a few thoughts. She winced slightly. "Minerva? I'll get Albus, shall I? Yes, I bet Albus will be the one you'll want to talk to." and with that, Poppy was gone.
When Poppy told Albus that Minerva had come around, Albus grinned from ear to ear. He was well aware that there were only 2 weeks or so left of the school holidays, although the minister had told Albus that he was considering letting Hogwarts open a week later, due to the events of the summer. Albus didn't want that, though, as he valued the education of children. Anyway, that day when Poppy told Albus the news must have been one of the happiest of his life; he all but ran to see his darling Minerva.
As soon as he entered the infirmary, his blue eyes met with her green ones. Her face lit up, as if she was remembering something. Her glamour had been lifted, and though she looked a little worn, Albus thought that she looked beautiful. To him, she would always be beautiful.
"Albus!" she cried. "Albus? My Albus?"
"the one and only." he replied. "forever yours." at this, Minerva smiled. He kissed her forehead. "how are you, green eyes?"
"okay. I think I remember now. I think. You're my, um, boyfriend?" she queried. He chuckled.
"if you still want me baby." Albus smiled. The pair of them chatted amongst themselves for a while, and Minerva felt her memory getting stronger in his company.
All too soon, it seemed, Poppy was coming up to them and telling Albus that he had to leave. Albus sighed, then rose, giving Minerva a kiss on the forehead. Poppy headed towards her quarters, feeling that she could trust Albus to leave and Minerva to take her medicine. As Albus headed towards the door, he heard a small voice behind him.
"Albus?" he turned around.
"yes, Minerva?"
"stay the night."
