Return To Hogwarts

Minerva McGonagall woke up in her dormitory dreading the day, she didn't know what was so horrible, but something was in the air. Minerva could hear the winds of change blaring their moaning song of mourning.

Today was Tuesday and classes had already begun, Minerva had slept in, but she cared not. The hallways were empty as she walked with no intention of actually going to class. Minerva had an empty feeling of excitement coming from nowhere, it was slowly driving her to insanity.

The sounds of the seventh year girl's footsteps echoed in the deserted hallway, only one other person was about outside of the classrooms. Professor Albus Dumbledore had noticed the disturbance in his usual Tuesday silence and decided to investigate.

He ventured from his spot, leaning against a wall, and roamed the hallway in search of the lone other person who had decided to class classes off for him or herself for the day.

"Miss McGonagall??", Albus was extremely surprised to see her not in class, Minerva was not one to disregard the rules, ever. "What are you doing out of your classroom??"

"Hello Professor", she said calmly, "I don't exactly know. Today just didn't feel right when I awoke only ten minutes ago and from that point on I decided that today was my day off to finally explore Hogwarts thoroughly.", Minerva was confident and looked it in her face.

"Would you mind if I joined you on your exploration??"

"Not at all.", Minerva smiled and took the arm that her professor had offered to her.

The two walked down the hallways and up and down flights of stairs and in and out of secret rooms for hours on end. They stopped to rest, Minerva leaned against a wall and Albus stood in front of her and looked at her gently, waiting for his student to be ready again.

Minerva's eyes twinkled and Albus couldn't control himself, he threw his arms around her and kissed her. Her mind was telling her to stop him, to push him away but her body wouldn't listen. Minerva's arms went around his neck and kissed him back. Albus had Minerva pressed to the wall and the two began to snogg each other senseless.

Minerva was in Heaven and Hell at the same time. Both of them ran out of air and the kiss was broken. Albus started to suck Minerva's neck as she gave in to a quiet low moan. They continued this forbidden deed until the bell rang signaling the end of class. Minerva shoved Albus off of her, blushed a deep shade of red and rushed back to the Gryffindor common room.

Albus felt a little guilty for embarrassing her, smiled and followed Minerva to the common room himself. He spoke the password when he was in front of the portrait and walked in. Minerva was laying on the couch with her hands over her face. Albus walked up, kneeled beside her and put a hand to Minerva's shoulder.

Minerva jumped at his touch and sat up. She saw Albus, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. Albus then layed Minerva down on the couch and put his hands on her waist, his lips never leaving hers. Minerva lifted herself up, motioned for Albus to lay down in her place and he did. Minerva layed on him and intimately kissed him again as Albus held her tighter and closer to him.

Albus stood up, still holding her to him and carried Minerva toward the stairs leading to the girls' dormitories, never letting her feet touch the ground. She wrapped her legs around Albus' waist and pulled at his neck, making the kiss deeper and deeper.

Both breathed heavily while sharing a thousand days' worth of lost romance in their kisses. They would never look at the Gryffindor common room the same way ever again, not after what happened late that night.

After the night was over Albus and Minerva never spoke, or even made eye contact, with each other during the last few weeks while she was at Hogwarts.
