AN: Big shout out to marbleandtoast as she helped me get the ball rolling on this chapter. This is just a fluffy filler chapter. It may not be up to standard, but that's what you get for writing at 1am. Please do me a favour and R&R...I do like knowing that what I'm writing is good OR bad!

Chapt. 7

The morning dawned upon the new lovers, Minerva woke first and she was very aware of the warm wizard beside her, his arm was wrapped tightly about her waist and their legs were intertwined with each other. She felt safe here in his embrace and it had been a long time since she had felt so. She nuzzled herself in further and closed her eyes remembering the night before. If she was honest, she was a bit sore. Her body was unused to love making anymore. But it wasn't an unpleasant soreness, oh no, this was a soreness that made her body hum in excitement. If this was how her life was going to be, then she would take it willingly. She still had much to tell her love, so much that he didn't know. But if last night was any indication, she didn't think there was going to be any problem. As she lay there she could hear a sudden change in Harry's breathing, he had finally awakened, and to Minerva's delight it wasn't just Harry waking up it was his libido too. Softly she purred at the feeling.

"Good morning mo ghrá. Ready for more already?"

"Mmmm Good morning my sweet, believe me it's not my idea, not that I would say no."

She chuckles softly and wiggles her rear against him seductively.

"I wouldn't say no either."

Harry leans in and kisses her along the back of her neck, his hands taking to task at pleasuring her. As her moans become louder, Harry's member twitches against her rounded globes.

"Harry, I need YOU!" She moans out rolling onto her back. He happily obliges her and comes above her and slides in, in one swift thrust. It was as heavenly as it was before, if not more so. She moaned loudly as he set his pace, it wasn't long before both were spent and sated once more. The sweat coating their skin reminded them that they needed to shower.

"I think I'm going to get a shower dear, we need to be up and down for breakfast in about a half hour." Minerva got up from the bed and walked calmly to the en-suite. Turning on the water she let it get warm. She stuck her head out of the door looking as Harry just lay there on the bed.

"You can always join me, I wouldn't mind."

Harry smiled and got up and walked into the bathroom.

"Bloody Hell, this room is as big as the Prefect's bathroom was."

Minerva chuckled and shook her head.

"Not that big, but it is rather spacious, I admit, and the shower is just entirely too big for just one person. I'm more than happy to share it."

"I suppose then I will have to make it a little crowded then don't I?"

Minerva took his hand and drew him to the shower, stepping in first under the spray of the water. She let the water cascade down over her body, tilting her head back wetting her hair. Harry just stood there transfixed.

"Min, you are so sexy, you know that?"

She pulled her head back up and looked at him and blushed profusely.

"No, I'm not. I'm just a wrinkly old woman Harry. I'm still not sure what you see, I've no I AM trying to see, but frankly I just don't see myself the way you obviously do."

Harry took the sponge from her hands at that point and squeezed the water over his dry body. Then he put some soap on it and began to wash her.

"You know Min, this self depreciating tone you have isn't something I'd expect from you. You're an amazing woman, passionate, caring, strong, and oh so brave. But when it comes to self esteem, who knew that the venerable Minerva McGonagall was so hard on herself? If I have to remind you every day for the rest of my life how wonderful you are, I will."

He handed the sponge to her so that she could do the same for him. She took it and started at his neck.

"I suppose you're right, you will have to remind me every day. At least for a while, before I start to believe it again. When you've lived through 3 wars and have gone through some of the things I have, it's hard to appreciate yourself sometimes."

She finished rinsing him off and stood close to him wrapping her arms around his neck, and he around her waist. She leaned in and kissed him softly. Stepping away from him she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. Harry followed.

She stood at her wardrobe and began to get dressed.

"Uhh Min, you didn't happen to see my boxers have you?"

She merely smiled and went to the chest of drawers, pulling out the pair of boxers he had on yesterday, only clean.

"You're brilliant, you are. I don't suppose my clothes are in there as well?"

She grinned and nodded pulling them out. Quickly she transfigured them into something that he wore everyday and handed them to him.

"Thank you, my sweet."

"You're quite welcome mo ghrá, you know I could get used to this, sharing my room with you. Not yet, of course but I can see this in our future."

After getting dressed they headed out of the bedroom and down to the office. There they were greeted with applause from the former Headmasters and Headmistress'. Albus Dumbledore the loudest of them all.

"Well done my boy, I'm glad you've finally gotten to get our dear Tabby to let her walls down."

Minerva gave him a stern look, but her blue-green eyes sparkled with pure happiness.

"Thank you all I appreciate you all caring so much, but I do believe that Harry and I need to go down for breakfast."

With that they left the room holding hands their fingers intertwined and not letting go.
