Chapter 22: Back Together
Professor McGonagall awoke with tears in her eyes. That incident happened so many years ago and yet her heart still hurts badly. She sticks to her words and she only talks to Dumbledore about school matters.
She didn't sit beside him during Quidditch matches.
She didn't dance with him during the Yule Ball either.
She didn't want have anything to do with him beside business.
"I will never forgive Dumbledore" She thought. "Never."
Suddenly she didn't feel drowsy anymore so she decided to go for a glass of warm milk.
***
As she walked down the corridor, Professor McGonagall heard giggling and whispering from around the corner. She narrowed her eyes. Who dare to get out of their beds at 3 am in the morning? She transformed herself into a tabby cat and walked silently around the corner. What she had seen gave a terrible shock. Hermione Granger was there with Harry Potter. She had her back against the wall and Harry was kissing her softly. When he stopped, both of them put their arms around each other and gazed at each other lovingly
"Thank you for the ride on your Firebolt, it's so fascinating to see stars while riding on a broomstick." Hermione whispered.
"We can do that tomorrow again if you like." Harry responded softly.
Hermione smiled sweetly and kissed The Boy Who Lived lightly on his lips. She then frowned. "We better get back to the Gryffindor Common Room before anyone catches us, especially Professor McGonagall, she will have a fit if she sees us behaving like this."
"I don't think she will still be awake." Harry grinned.
"Oh really? I will show you." Professor McGonagall thought angrily but then she stopped herself from transforming back to human form.
"Why should you be angry? You and Albus did something like that too." She thought sadly.
"I still think we should go back." Hermione said firmly. Harry gave his charming smile and they went to the direction of the Gryffindor Common Room, holding hands.
Once they were gone, Professor McGonagall transformed back to herself. She didn't feel like having a glass of warm milk right now, so she decided to have a stroll on the courtyard. A night walk under the stars seemed to be a good idea.
***
Professor Dumbledore sat up from his bed and sighed. He just had this dream about his youth, his first love Minerva and how Aidoneus broke them up. He frowned a little. If it wasn't for Malfoy... He sighed again, sadly this time. It's too late. Minerva will not listen to him. "If only I explain it to her on the day itself." He mumbled, looked out at the window and gazed at the stars. "Maybe I should sit under the stars for a while. That will cheer me up." He said thoughtfully and got out of his warm bed.
***
When she arrived at the courtyard, Professor McGonagall noticed that someone was sitting on the bench, staring up at the brightly stars. She leaned forward slightly and gasped softly. Albus Dumbledore? Great, he was not the one that she wishes to see right now.
Professor Dumbledore heard the gasp and turned around. "A very early good morning to you." He paused for a while. "Professor."
Professor McGonagall stared at him for a while and nodded politely. "Good morning to you too." She walked to him slowly. "What makes you to wake up at 3am in the morning?"
"I just have a dream that upsets me so I decide to look at the stars to cheer myself up."
"What's the dream about?" Professor McGonagall asked politely. She was standing near him but didn't sit down.
"Us. When we were studying in Hogwarts and the time when I was the new Transfiguration teacher. What about you?"
Professor McGonagall was silent. "Err, I was having a stroll and since I have finished my small stroll, I think I should go back to my room now...." She said and tried to escape to the castle before Dumbledore could say anything.
But she couldn't. Because Dumbledore caught hold of her hand before she could move. "Minerva, please sit down and listen to my explanation about the incident." He said firmly. "You know what incident I am talking about."
"Oh no, not that." Professor McGonagall said and began to weep. "Why do you have to mention that? Do you know how hard it is to forget that horrible scene? You, kissing another girl right in front of me.."
"That is a misunderstanding." Dumbledore said. "Minerva, please. Let me explain."
Professor McGonagall sighed and sat down beside him. "All right, Albus Dumbledore, who is that woman in that photograph?"
"I don't know her at all. Malfoy wanted to break us up so he sent her to me."
Professor McGonagall's mouth dropped open. "Malfoy? As in Aidoneus Malfoy?"
Dumbledore nodded slightly and Professor McGonagall frowned deeply. "And that photograph, how do you explain about that?"
Dumbledore searched in his robes and took out a stack of photographs. "Remember these? I have been keeping these so that I can explain them to you when I see you."
Professor McGonagall swallowed and nodded. Dumbledore put it down, took out his wand and pointed it at them.
"Dumbledore, what..." Professor McGonagall started.
"Revealio." Dumbledore said and the picture of him and the woman in the photographs transformed into another man and woman.
"Professor Jupiter and Professor Adara!" Professor McGonagall gasped.
Dumbledore picked up a photograph of Professor Jupiter kissing Professor Adara and turned it over. "See the date?"
"13 of August. Isn't that the date when the two professors are married?" Professor McGonagall asked.
Dumbledore nodded. "Malfoy probably took these photos on their wedding day. Years later, when he knew that I was getting married, he just simply found a pretty girl, took her pictures, got my pictures from my friends and shifted the girl's and my pictures into these. It's pretty clever. Unfortunately, I found out about this only the next day after you had left Hogwarts." He said and turned another photograph over to reveal the words that Minerva had read during breakfast on the day she left Hogwarts. "He even added these words to make it even more real." He ended.
"How did he find out that we are getting married?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Sam Snape. He had been sending mails to Malfoy about us." Dumbledore said. "Malfoy had confessed everything when I banged into his manor the next day after you had left."
Professor McGonagall scowled. "Those snakes." She thought angrily.
"Minerva, please. I am not lying. I still love you after all these years." Dumbledore whispered.
Professor McGonagall stared at Dumbledore. Dumbledore mumbled something and immediately, three things appeared on his hands. Professor McGonagall realized what they were and gasped. They are a bouquet of roses, a necklace and a diamond ring.
"When Madeline gave me the roses and the necklace, I didn't throw them away because they used to belong to you." He said softly.
Professor McGonagall stared at the beautiful, fresh-looking roses and Dumbledore held her hand. "Minerva, please believe me."
Professor McGonagall thought deeply, looked into Dumbledore's eyes and smiled, meaning that she believed him. Dumbledore smiled back and said, "Minerva, will you give me the honor to propose to you again?"
Professor McGonagall nodded shyly and stood up. Dumbledore grinned, kneeled down on one knee and asked THE question: "Minerva, will you marry me?"
"Yes, I am glad to be your wife." Professor McGonagall whispered, helped Dumbledore up and sat with him on the bench. Dumbledore helped Professor McGonagall to put on her ring and they gazed each other lovingly.
***
Madam Hooch looked delightfully at the professors, who are now kissing each other deeply, from upstairs and clapped her hands happily.
"Wow, it actually works." She said to the person behind her.
"I told you it would work. I have been thinking of a way to make amends since you told me about what my ancestor had done to Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall a few weeks ago. Oh well, at least that potion made up his mistakes. Did it?" Professor Snape asked.
"It sure did, you made the potion that would made them to dream of their past, then poured the potion into their goblets when they were not looking, then Voila! They dreamed about their past and it brought them together again. Not bad." Madam Hooch said thoughtfully. "Sam Snape broke them up and you brought them back to together."
"At least that's what I can do for thanking Dumbledore for trusting me." Professor Snape said casually.
"You know, Severus, you are not so bad after all." Madam Hooch grinned.
"Whatever." Snape said with his cheeks pink.
