AN: Sorry for the extremely slow update! Thanks to all the wonderful people who reviewed and/or have put it under notification :)
Once again sorry for the slow update I was kinda busy, I hope you all had a good holiday :) Enjoy!
This was most definitely not what she expected when she was asked to joined Luna in Ginny's place. Minerva stood up and quietly left, walking down to her office.
Leaving Madam Pomfrey to heal Hermione´s wounds.
After Poppy had carefully examined Hermione, she went on to the slow healing process.
In the end she was able to heal most of the major wounds and all the smaller ones. Only some serious internal injuries would have to heal over time.
She did what she could, now she had one final obstacle to overcome.
Reporting to the Headmistress…
As she stood before the gargoyle to Minerva´s she muttered "Dum spiro, spero" *
She slowly climbed the stairs dreading what she would have to tell the Headmistress.
As she was about to knock on the door she heard a soft "come in."
There behind the majestic desk sat the formidable Headmistress sipping on a glass of fire whiskey.
"She looks exhausted. "
After that thought Madam Pomfrey suddenly became aware of how close Hermione and Minerva were.
"No wonder she looks like she just came out of another war. "
After all, Miss Granger was the closest to the formidable Headmistress right after Albus Dumbledore.
"Actually, it wasn't uncommon for other staff members to speculate what their relationship was. Not surprising either. Especially, if you consider that the Headmistress never let anyone close and most certainly not a student! "
A small smile formed on Poppy's lips as she recalled some of the more outrageous rumours.
The credit for the most extreme ones probably belonged to Snape. Oh how he loved to rile Minerva up.
Teasing her mercilessly about her and the insufferable know-it-all.
The smile soon disappeared as the memory of Professor Snape triggered depressing thoughts off all the lives lost.
"Even after all these years were still trying to recover…"
She was snapped out of her thoughts as the Headmistress cleared her throat.
* "Dum spiro, spero" (Latin), "While I breath, I hope"
