Hello dearies! After how long, I have come back from the dead!

I hope you enjoy this little thing right here :)

Chapter 1: In Your Dreams

"Shut up, Black!"
"Oh, I know you love me too, Minnie."
"Stop calling me that!"
She hoped that she could wipe that stupid smirk on his face. He was really getting on her nerves this time.
"Aww, come on Minnie, just say yes!"
"In your dreams!" She replied with a huff.
"Oi, Sirius, leave our captain alone!" James said with a smile playing on his face.
"You're no fun, Jamesy" Sirius mock pouted.
"I'm telling you right now, Sirius Black, it's not such a good idea." Lily whispered.
"Just wait and see, Lily. She will fall for it." He whispered back.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Lily said as they walked to the bleachers.

"McGonagall!" James ran to her after everyone left.
"Potter. Do you have a concern?" She asked with her eyebrows furrowed. Potter did not ask questions.
"No, I-I- this is embarrasing- I wanted to ask if you could teach me Transfiguration." Her eyebrows shot up. James Potter was a part of the top five in class. What could he possibly not understand?
"You're the top of the class, McGee. I just need someone to assist me with the parts I don't get. Plus, I heard that you're a registered Animangus, I was wondering if you could lend me some of your books."
"I'd be delighted to! Just one condition, Potter." She said with a smile on her face.
"What?"
"Tell Black not to convince me to fall in love with him."

o0o0o0o0o0o

"She told me to tell you not to force her to fall in love with you." James said hurriedly.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"She said that I should tell you that you should stop asking her to fall in love with you." James said slowly.

o0o0o0o0o0o

"What did he ask for, Minerva?" Lily excitedly sat on her friend's bed.
"He asked me to teach him Transfiguration. I still don't get it though. He's in the top five in the class, Dumbledore is a great teacher and I still don't get what he doesn't get. And, he asked to borrow my animangus books."
"Then, what did you say?"
"I said yes, but I gave him a condition."
"Oh? What was it?" Lily asked, intrigued.
"I told him to tell Black not to convince me to fall in love with him." Minerva smiled triumphantly.
"This is why you're my friend." Lily laughed.

o0o0o0o0o0o

"Who are you going with to Hogsmeade, Min?" Minerva rolled her eyes at her friend.
"Hey, it's Valentine's! You. Need. A. Date."
"It would be preferable if I went alone."
"On Valentine's? No way! Let me see that note." Minerva tried to hide the note that she clutched on, but Lily's hands were faster than hers.
"Dearest Minnie,
Meet me at the RofR at 9pm tonight to find out who I am.
- your secret admirer."
"Give me that!" Minerva snatched the note back with a smile.
"Ah, ah, ah! I need to fix you up before you meet this secret admirer, darling."

Lily did not say another word. She knew who it was and she was not going to say anything. She swore to keep her mouth shut.

o0o0o0o0o0o

"Perfect! Now, go up there and meet that admirer of yours."
"Yeah, yeah."

o0o0o0o0o0o

"Just remember, Padfoot, do not cross her. Just don't" Remus reminded
"I won't do that, Moony. I like her too much to do that to her."
"Just... take care of her for us. Her anger kinda changes her attitude during practice."
"I'll take care of her. I really will"

He was nervous. He was really, really, really nervous. Imagine Sirius Black, the ultimate heartbreaker of Hogwarts, getting nervous just because he didn't want to disappoint his crush.

8:50.

He fixed his tie for the thirtieth time and fixed the bouquet.

8:59.

Sirius waited by the door. He was so nervous, he inhaled and exhaled loudly before hearing the door creak.

9:00

She was nervous. Who could it possibly be?

She entered the Room of Requirement to see a table set up for two, a vase containing a single rose in the middle.

"I was afraid you wouldn't come." A voice said from the back.

"Did you?" She said with a small smile playing at her lips.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine you would do something like this for me.

o0o0o0o0o0o

"Take a seat, Marlene, I'll just get something to drink."

Something was off. He liked Marlene, he really did. She was athletic, a keeper for the Quidditch team, actually, she was smart, funny, kind. She was everything he could ever ask for, but something was missing. He was missing her smile, her sarcasm. No, not Marlene, her.

o0o0o0o0o0o

"So, why did you call for me here?"
"I just wanted to ask, if I'm not intruding," She urged him, telling him it was alright.
"I was just- never mind."
"What is it?"
"I was wondering if you felt something for Sirius."
Her mind was swimming. Did he feel something for her? Did she feel something?
"Did he send you?"
"He has nothing to do with this. I called you here because I like you, as a friend that is, and I wanted you to know that. That's it." She appreciated the gesture. She liked him as a friend too, and he would do well to take care of Alice, she hoped.
"It's quite late now, Frank, I should get going. It's great that you've found a friend in me, and I, you. Thank you." She smiled and he escorted her to the door.

When he was sure Minerva was out the door, he brought out a small device.

"I think it's positive. Positive, boys, positive."

He could hear cheering from the other side of the line. Victorious.

o0o0o0o0o0o

As she rounded the corner, she heard a voice, an all too familiar voice.

"Minerva McGonagall."

It echoed through the hall. She felt the hairs on her skin rise. She slowly turned back, facing the person.

"Black."

She stood still. He walked slowly, as if on an invisible line. Her eyes were focused on him, her emerald pools, drawn to him.

"What do you want?" She asked simply.
"You."
"That's not one of the..." Her voice weakened as he was nearer to her. She was backing away until she had no space left. Her back was against the wall.
"...options." She added softly.
"I'm a rulebreaker, McGonagall, I do what's not allowed." He whispered to her ear.
His mouth hovered hers, his palms were firmly planted beside her head.
"Tell me to stop, because I think I'm falling for you, Minerva McGonagall."
"Prove it." She breathed out.
She closed her eyes as he ghosted his lips on hers.
"I thought you hated me?" He smiled.
"Shut up, Black."
She grabbed his collar and pressed his lips on hers. Her arms snaked around his neck uncharacteristically.

o0o0o0o0o0o

"Merlin! Potter, it's working!" Lily exclaimed as she listened to the device.
"I told you it would work!"

A/N

It kinda feels good to be back! I haven't really written something in yhe longest time and I must admit, I miss writing so much.

Here's a Sirius/Minerva fic that I thought of a few weeks back. I have chosen to disregard canon and place McGonagall in the Marauder Era. Here, she's a 7th year and the rest are 6th years. I will explain what happened to make Sirius and McG the same age.

Again, I'm disregarding canon and making a timeline of my own! (How exciting)

I hope you enjoyed this little... thing. More coming!
