Minerva POV again then Albus next! Sabrina is introduced to MINERVA! Eeeeeeeeeeek!

Chapter 4~

"Hello, Albus. How are you, great as ever I hope?" Minerva asks as she rushes over with a glorious smile and open arms.

"Yes just great, especially since I have you around, along with the school of course." Did he just say he especially me, or was it my imagination?

"I wish they would quit fighting, they never stop, this summer will be infuriating." She says to change the topic before something slips out that she would regret. She gestures toward Harry and Severus with her hand in a swift elegant roll of her wrist.

"They will avoid each other whenever possible and then if it continues I will ask them to take it elsewhere for your sake as well as the school, who knows there might be an explosion of anger and something might get damaged, like you." He mumbles the last part, which I am never able to hear, I think it was 'like you' but that's probably just me imagining as always.

He does look handsome, no wonder, he always does. I guess this will be added to my list of infuriating summer distractions. It's not a bad thing to look at him at all but it will be tough to go through the summer without ravishing him. Oooh, wouldn't that be wonderful. Did he just say something I can't help but to get caught up on imagining how his lips would feel on my skin? Oooh nice…

"Minerva, Minerva, is something that matter, you had this far away dreamy look in his eyes, do want to take the day off and rest? You've been running the school on your own ever since school ended a while ago, I can take it from here." I was about to say no when he stopped me by speaking first with those warm sensual lips. "Don't take it the wrong way Tabby, I would always love your loyal help."

He's so sweet isn't he? He has this warm glow about him today do you think he's met someone? Oh wouldn't that be the worst possible answer. Maybe it's just something to do with Harry, he always did take pride in Harry's accomplishments. So do I but no one knows that, except Albus of course. I also cried when he was in the Triwizard Tournament almost every night, I was acting like a weeping mother. I do hope that's its just Albus's pride, oh please let that be that!

"No there's nothing wrong, just a bit dizzy from the heat, we have had a hot summer here while you were gone. And no I will not let you run Hogwarts by yourself. But thanks for asking, that's very nice of you."

"You always were the one to put duties before pleasure, and you don't have to thank me for asking about your well being. I just need to take care of my staff and friend, and you are my best friend."

He's such a flatterer can he ever just stop he's making me blush?

"Why don't we leave them fighting and take a walk and I can catch you up on everything here and you give me the latest gossip and such?" She says with a smile that could make his heart melt.

"You a gossiper, I never knew?" He teases her and they start to move away from the feuding men.

"Oh, didn't you know that I was the one that started the rumor about Professor Bins' heart attack, I told Rolanda of all people and of course she told everyone and by breakfast the next day the whole school was buzzing with my original rumor which in the end as you know was quite true!" She grins triumphantly at him as they walk out some old stone steps that lead to a bench and a tree next to the lake. "Oh look, the giant squid is even excited to see you!" But not as excited as me, she mused.

They walk and talk for an hour when all of the sudden, Albus asks for the time.

"Minerva, my dear what is the time?" He stops their walk and looks in his pocket, which seems to not have is moon pocket-watch. Forgetfulness is one of Albus's most amusing trait's I think, it makes him blush just like me when he calls me 'my dear', oh how I love that endearment!

"It is quarter till 12 Albus, don't worry I wouldn't let us be late for lunch on your first day back, you know me better than that! I have never been late for anything in my life, except for a detention, which I might say I did not deserve, I wasn't even the one to say the say the spell. (Humph!) In the end it turned the castle into a red and gold colors. I just think Rolanda wanted to show some Gryffindor pride! It just went askew, that's all." She says casually as if it was something to dismiss. She tucks her hand in the corner of his arm and starts to walk around the lake again but Albus won't budge. "What is it Albus, we will be on time still, we both need as much fresh air as possible before classes start, and I for one am not getting any younger!" She says once she sees the worry in his face.

"Sorry Tabby, it is just that I have an expected letter that is very special, I mean urgent for me, and I don't want to miss it if it arrives earlier than lunch." He says with deep thought etched in his rugged face.

"Oh, is something the matter, do we need to have a meeting with the minister? Are there still death-eater remnants? Because I am not overly fond of either of the ministers these days they are too grouchy or worrisome, in my opinion, and that would make for a very unpleasant waste of a nice summer afternoon!" She realizes she is babbling, and quickly shuts her mouth once she sees Albus' gorgeous blue-eyes staring back at her with an amused glint in them.

"No, my dear, do not worry their has been no news of the death-eaters since Tom's death, and I for one take no news as good news! No the letter is from someone I know who will be coming to stay at the castle until she finds a place of her own." He starts walking at a leisurely pace with Minerva toward the entrance where they originally came from. Until Minerva comes to a halt when she hears the last snippet of his sentence.

"She? I never knew you had a sister!" Oh, please let it be a sister, or maybe an aunt, from some god-forsaken country! Wait why is he laughing, what's so funny? If he doesn't stop soon my glare is coming out in full force, I swear!

"A sister, oh Minerva you know that I don't have anyone but Aberforth! (He smiles then gets to the point.) No, she is a woman I knew in my youth, named Sabrina Sinclair (Her cover-up last name since Minerva knows of the Flamels). She is a very pretty lass from a well-known family, where I grew up. She wanted to catch up, and I hope to rekindle some old flames from within."

She looks at him wide-eyed, with a stunned expression on her face while facing the man who is grinning broadly and has a slightly guilty/worried look in his eyes, which she somehow misses.

A woman, a woman! In this castle for an indefinite amount of time, that has a 'thing' for Albus and him for her! No way, no how! What am I going to do? Wait, hold it, I'm Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, Transfiguration Mistress, and Head of Gryffindor House, the house of courage, strength, determination! I will not loose my self, if I must live with this sniveling little twit, then so be it, and by the time she leaves she will see the stern, never cross-me, Professor attitude.

"Oh, Albus, I am so sorry, I guess I just wasn't thinking!" What am I saying, I always think!

"No worries, my dear, I know I am not the most handsome bachelor in the world, but I am still an unmarried man with wishes of a family! My mother would hex me from her grave for not carrying out the Dumbledore line. And we both know that with Aberforths' goats he is certainly not helping him-self with finding a wife." He chuckles his jolly laugh, and grins broader when seeing Minerva crack a chuckle with her lovely smile.

He is too handsome, she thought. And oh, how I know he is unmarried, and I intend to keep it that way. Humph. But yes I sure do know that Aberforth is not going to get a wife, even a date at least, if he keeps those stinky goats. He is so not helping! Get a hold of yourself, Minerva. Three options come to mind at the moment…

Forget Albus, yeah right! 'Scratch that notion'

Get Aberforth married ASAP… not going to happen unless those goats go. Hey there's a thought… oh what am I thinking, no, sorry can't happen! 'Scratch that notion, one left'

Meet her, deal with her, then figure out about Albus. 'All right, got a good plan… I hope! What am I thinking this is so not good!'

Where was I? Oh right, Aberforth and those goats! Urrrgh!

"Yes, so true! I couldn't even imagine being with Aberforth or his goats! Let alone kiss him or be his wife!" Albus froze a look of shear dread crossing his face; it looks as if he got stunned. The thought of Minerva and Aberforth kissing turns his heart to stone. She who was stupid enough to look at the ground in deep thought, missed his 'heart attack', unfortunately.

They walk into the castle in silence each go and change for lunch and think about their troubles in different parts of the castle one to the North and the other the East. Her thoughts in gloom and his in wordiness', of what will take place in the next 15 minutes, when the post arrives!

TBC... Sabrina Arrives next chap!
Next chap should arrive really soon, sorry for the wait really busy with the move. Don't worry I won't forget about you!! XOXO, thanks for the reviews it really boosts up self confidence!

Working on it I am starting my business now so it is a very busy time!
Thanks for the comment!
Be there as soon as possible ~ S

Merlin's Beard... it's finally finished. I am so glad it's Christmas time and I have a small break. I am finally moved in and I still have many things to do but I thought I would have a break. I am still tired from all the Holiday parties so I am lounging, yay. I loved the parties, but boy are they tiring. Anyway, I am sorry for the hold up and I now give you an extra long chapter.

All right so here is the deal, I do not have a beta for this chapter. I have been so busy with business that I haven't the time I am just grateful that I have finally completed this chapter. So since I don't have a beta it might still be iffy, I am most annoyed with my tenses whether it's future, past, or present. It's really all supposed to be in the present, but am referring sometimes to a little while before. Another thing the narrator is speaking until dashes appear! Enjoy…

Chapter 5~



This year because of the heat, a surprising amount of students are staying to take in the coolness of the castle walls compared to their small cramped homes. In total there are 26 students staying, 10 of which are Gryffindor, 7 in Hufflepuff, 6 in Ravenclaw, and 3 in Slytherin. Said students were just arriving in singles, doubles, and triples, into the Great Hall. The girls gossiping or the boys worrying about Snapes and McGonagalls' new school year load. There are the bookworms, the bullies, and such but nothing could or can compare to the heartache in 'Ice-Queen McGonagalls' heart that lunch break. At the moment she definitely had a heart and one that was breaking with every heartstring that slowly and painfully ripped apart with each beat that was threatening to leap from her chest.

Albus on the other hand is jumping with joy. It seems that Minerva is acting the way he hoped she would about the letter his 'woman friend' is sending this current afternoon. Harry is to see it too, he is assigned to deliver said letter in a matter of minutes.

At this busy staff table everyone is where he or she should be for the plan to work. Minerva to Albus' right and an empty seat at Albus' left for Harry. Harry would then arrive with (in Minerva's opinion) a sentencing to Hell for indefinite amount of time. At the current moment Minerva's head is also having a sizable amount of pain coming and going. More is coming than going though to her dismay. Her brain at this moment is replaying every miniscule of the conversations that she has ever had with Albus and trying to recollect any mention of Sabrina in her entire life. Yet nothing popped in except a sizable migraine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How could he not tell me? I have never heard of any Sabrina or any woman with a name for as long as I can remember! What is he playing at? He is breaking my heart. Minerva, (she says to herself) he would not know that because you have not told or encouraged a romantic relationship with him for the entire 60 years you have known him and the 30 years (at the least) knowing you want said relationship. Tell him, you fool! Only time is going now, not your beauty, that's already gone. Oh here he is now all smiling and skipping into the great hall. Why does he always have to be so happy? You now why, it's Ablus, it's just the way he is. That's one of the reasons I love him.

The student's look at him cheerfully as he comes through the massive doors knowing that lunch is going to be delivered with the famous swivel of the Headmasters wrist. Minerva glares and twists in her chair awkwardly knowing what is to come. Yet when it comes to Minerva sitting in her straight-backed chair Albus is as blind as Professor Bins is during his lectures.

"Hello Minerva."

"Humph!" Albus looks at her oddly then raises his hands and does said swivel and the food appears. Though he forgoes the 'Lunch is served, please enjoy!' motto he would normally say.

"Are we going to enjoy a chess match this late this afternoon or are you to busy with those lesson plans of yours?"

"I don't know I will let you know. I will come to your office later to tell you. I have to go to Hogsmead for some new inkwells and quills, so I will come then." He was surprised not to see her smile at is little joke, but it was Minerva and her moods come and go. Minerva grimaced about lying to Albus but if he thought she was out he wouldn't disturb her about Sabrina.

"Absolutely, my dear." Can't he stop calling me that? Every time he says it, it reminds me that he's doesn't actually feel that way!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The minutes pass and Harry fast walks in with vigor, as the owl post comes swooping in with letters from well-missed relatives and the O.W.L.S. or N.E.W.T. scores that were to be arriving this week. The students were at their wits end with worry and anticipation, and every one of them wanted it to end.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alb! Alb! It's here! The letter, it's here!" Harry stops at the staff table, and by this time the entire great hall is looking at him with confusion. Except Minerva, who is experiencing frustration, while Albus experiences gaiety.

Albus took the letter and listens to it over, and over. More than once it would seem. And every time he would listen to it, his grin grew broader. The letter said this…

Dear Albie, (Minerva rolls her eyes. "Really Albie, humph!")

I do hope you are enthusiastically awaiting my arrival. I am for many, many reasons. I hope we will experience some of those reasons that involve no clothing; you always were good with that situation. (Minerva coughs on her tea, but Albus tries not to notice.)

I expect my rooms are ready by now. I will arrive at half past five sharp. You better not be late, I will have my luggage waiting and I will not be carrying them to my rooms by any means. (Minerva is appalled at Sabrina snot-nose comments, or rather commands). Oh, and make sure I sit next to Minerva at meal times. I want to meet her. (At this moment Minerva has her eyebrows raised in question. "Albus has mentioned me to Sabrina?")

Yours truly,

Sabrina Sinclair

P.S. You remember I always liked a man who wears no under-garments, right? It makes things so simple and fabulous. (Minerva thought she couldn't be any more shocked or appalled but she just hit a new record. Her eyebrows at her hairline, eyes bulging, lips pursed in anger, and her arms crossed below her breasts.)

Albus chuckles at Sabrina letter with a twinkle of mischief. He can't wait for Sabrina to arrive. He knows that the scheme has only just begun.

"If you will excuse me, I have some work that needs to be done." Minerva says with disdain she doesn't wait for permission or anyone to stand she just leaves with her head held high and her heart down low.

"Miner…va" Albus tries to stop her but he can't she is already gone.

"Well that went well, wouldn't you say? Here have a cookie, Albus, they are really very good." Harry says with a cookie held out and a grin plastered on his face.

"Yes, I guess I will. Do you think Minerva is all right, I don't want to hurt her?" He asks while munching on the cookie.

"She'll be fine! Don't worry so much everything will work out just fine."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was about time (2:30) for Minerva to come by after her "Hogsmead trip" to tell Albus whether they would be playing a game of chess in an hour, before Sabrina arrived. Minerva of course knows that she would say no, but Albus doesn't.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Knock, knock, knock!" As per usual Minerva's three knocks tells Albus she is at the door. His face brightens and he tells Minerva to enter. She does as said but only steps in three feet. She decides to make this quick because she has a odd feeling that the spring heat that was delayed this year, has now arrived and is going to make her life so much harder than she would like it to be (cats in heat). She would then proceed to her rooms, lock the door, do a few things, and then cry herself to sleep. A horrible plan that was common to her when she was in a dire situation, like this for example.

"Ple…" She stopped him short and went straight to the point.

"No, Albus. I will not sit and I will not stay. I have things to do and if I am correct you have things to do to prepare for your beloved guest. Goodbye, and I will see you later." She is brisk and cold, she says what she intended to say, turns around, walks out the door, and shuts it behind her with maybe a little more force than necessary, making it slam loudly. Albus is still in shock by her message that he doesn't even realize that she has left until the door slams behind her. Did he do something during the time they were apart or was it the message from Sabrina? All he is thinking is that his plan is working and faster than he had expected.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is now 15 minutes 'til Sabrina was said to arrive. Albus is happy nervous and Minerva is in devastation. She isn't sure if she can deal with hell right now. She has just figured out after dropping by Albus's office earlier that the heat season for cats has in fact come late this year. Which meant that she was fuming and bluntly put… horny. She knows that if she steps further than three feet into Albus's office earlier that she would do something she might regret. Yes, she might experience the all time high in her life but she wouldn't risk her relationship with Albus because she hadn't been able to control her self.

The clock is now ticking and is moving painfully slow for Albus. All he wants is for his plan to work without it harming Minerva. He did what needed to be done. He would use magic for Sabrina's luggage then show her around for a bit, then escort her to her rooms, and sit with her for a while. He would have Harry come through the fireplace then they would discuss the plan for the future days.

All right 5 minutes left. Albus decides to head down early, and meet Harry at the east corridor on his way to the front gates. He wants to make sure Harry keeps an eye on Minerva just in case she is going around the castle doing work. He doesn't want the plan to fall apart now, it has just begun.

"Albus, Minerva is in her room doing work as usual. I would go by her rooms on the way to Sabrina's rooms. Hook Minerva in, it would help with the plan." Says Harry as he meets Albus in the corridor.

"Ok, I will. Now I need to go and meet Sabrina she is expected to arrive in 1 minute! Boy has time-gone bye. See you in 15 minutes Harry. Remember go bye floo not walking just in case of Minerva." Albus rushes away in a blur.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The path way was warm and the sunset was going to come in an hour from then. It would be a glorious sight from the castle. The trees and other plants were in full bloom from the end of spring, and the lake was reflecting the sky while keeping the giant squid warm with sunlight.

Every step Albus took he is getting more excited and nervous. He can see a carriage approaching, and Sabrina sits in the seat with a load of trunks atop the seat across from her strapped in with heavy-duty buckles. The carriage stops and she steps out with a huge smile and she kisses him on the cheek, both sides, and then takes his arm in hers.

"Albie, darling! How is my man I hope you are ready for an exciting visit! I can't wait to see everything again, and I do mean everything." She says with a grin and a wink. Albus is in shock that she just said this because they don't have to protect their cover right now. Though what he doesn't realize is that Minerva is watching and listening to them through the window in her office. Using a spell she had found in the Library under the restricted section. It would improve your sight and hearing by a lot, and it means a lot!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minerva sits, watching and listening discreetly while "reading", The Basics of Transfiguration. Which she had read nearly a thousand times, but is always a favorite. As of now she is still watching this meddlesome witch, Sabrina, and running through her head all the ways she can get rid of the harlot in question. She is slightly; no make that greatly jealous of Sabrina. Especially if all the things Sabrina says about Albus are true, than defiantly jealous.

So while forming many demising plans in her head, she decides to go and meet Sabrina. If Sabrina "knows" her than why shouldn't she get to know Sabrina? The outcome of her thoughts made her decide to go down and walk past them (ignoring them) and then make a formal greeting to this special little guest. (OK… so not a great plan, but a classic!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(For now it is in Minerva's POV… thoughts and such.)

One, two, three steps… thirty-six steps, done. Now where are they, I bet they went to her rooms, now which rooms did he set up for her. He had better put her in a bad room, down past the dungeons maybe, or maybe over next to the library it's always so cold and dank there, I think she would fit right in. Hold it… I hear them. Act real calm, cool, and collected Minerva. Go back and walk out and act as if you were busy, and if they call you act like no one was there and walk right past them.

(Albus's POV now.)

"Down this hall is the transfiguration classroom and Minerva's office which connects to her quarters over here."

"How nice, so how far away is your room from hers?"

"If you go down towards her room, up the stairs, turn towards your right, and walk farther down. Then you will see the gargoyle and you then give the password, go up the stairs see my office and my quarters are past them."

"Wonderful…" She says quietly, while pondering the situation.

They hear rustling of papers and heels behind Minerva's door, Minerva comes out and she walks toward them but never looks up from the stack of papers that she has in her hands. She keeps walking down the hall toward her classroom and walks right past them. Albus looks sort of shocked and Sabrina smiles… so this is the famous Minerva McGonagall.

"Minerva…" Albus says quite unbelievably, 'she has never walked right past me before, maybe she's just distracted'.

"Hmmm." Minerva mumbles, then finally looks up from the papers, and tries to give her best smile. "Hello, you must be Sabrina. I am Minerva McGonagall, his deputy." She says pleasantly reaching her hand out to shake Sabrina's hand. She then gestures towards Albus, who is now smiling.

Sabrina takes Minerva's hand and shakes it confidently, while smiling widely. "I know exactly who you are, it's great to officially meet you at long last."

"Yes, well the same goes to you, but I must say Albus hasn't told me much about you." Minerva says hesitation.

"Well we must change that, Albus?" She says strongly through her teeth as she turns towards Albus.

"Yes, yes, of course. How about tomorrow night the three of us have dinner on my terrace so that you can meet each other more properly?" He says with happiness in his voice and the famous twinkle in his eyes.

"Oh Albie, that sounds delightful! I can't wait to talk with you Minerva, I can tell that we will get along so well."

"That sounds… cordial. Maybe a little to cordial." Minerva says the last phrase under her breath. And she says the first part with a small smile but there is much hesitation coming from her.

"Marvelous, tomorrow at 6:45 then. See you in a bit Minerva, I am going to show Sabrina the rest of the castle now." He smiles and waves goodbye as they start to walk off.

"It was nice to meet you Minerva, see you in a bit." And does the same as Albus then links arms with Albus and walks off.

"Yes, you too. Talk to you soon. Bye Albus!" She says the last bit quietly and starts her continued walk toward her classroom.

(Minerva's thoughts)

Tomorrow night is going to be interesting, yes definitely interesting.
