This is a challange responce to Quill of MInerva's who's been sleeping in my bed ;D Enjoy!
Who’s been sleeping in my bed?
Chapter 1: Not meant for me
Albus stumbled into the cottage he was currently sharing with Minerva for the summer holidays. It had been a long day and Albus wanted nothing more then to have a relaxing evening with his wife. Conjuring a box of Ginger newts he went in search of his lover to apologise for his actions earlier on that day. Not finding her in the living room, kitchen or study he made his way to the bedroom. He opened the door slowly as not to wake her if she was asleep. She wasn’t of course but what she was doing made Albus’ heart hit the bottom of his stomach and shatter. He couldn’t take it in he stood there for a minute staring at her. Her head was thrown back and her eyes slammed shut in ecstasy. Her delicate hands were gripping tightly to the head board as a elderly looking man pleased her in a way Albus had started to believe only he could. He couldn’t move he wanted to run and hide as far away from this as possible, he wanted to cast a memory charm on him self so he could forget. It felt as if his heart was being ripped up slowly by his wife’s hands. He stood there trying to get a good glimpse at the man who had stolen his wife from him.
“Oh Albus!” She groaned softly as her eyes opened slowly. Albus felt his now aching heart skip a beat. It was him! His body, it looked exactly like him it was him! Albus could feel a dizzy spell come over him, how the hell could it be him he was standing there watching them.
“Minerva?” He whispered softly taking a step closer to the bed. Noticing the voice hadn’t come from the man on top of her, she turned her head in the direction it had.
“Albus!” She shrieked, her eyes darting between the two men in the bedroom. She shook her head and closed her eyes softly before opening them again only to see two Albuses staring at her. Albus watched as the impostor on top of her crawled away and made a grab or his clothes. Albus was quicker through before he knew what he was doing he had the charlatan slammed against the wall. The impostor watched Minerva with saddened eyes as she sat up and quickly wrapped the bed cover around her. Albus could tell the man in front of him was grief stricken and he also smelt of Fire whisky. He watched in shock as the man’s bright blue eyes slowly darkened and changed and as his silvery hair changed to muddy brown revealing a man they both recognised all to well.
“Alastor!” Minerva gasped heavily.

OH M'GOSH!!! What the bloody blue is Alastor doing impersonating Albus...and with Minerva no less??? There is no excuse for what he's done so I say send him straight to Azkaban! Harsh I know but there's just one person that should be pleasing Minerva...and it isn't him that's for sure!!  Hope you update soon..I'm dying to hear how he tries to weasel himself out of this one! |

From the way he watched Minerva with saddened eyes I guess it's the real Alastor and not an imposter.
Shoot. 
But *very* interesting. I can't wait to see what happens next.

thanx to everone who reviewed !  Chapter 2: Excuses Albus could feel a strange kind of anger start to bubble up in his stomach. He felt very tempted to pull out his wand and curse Moody to the next century or even just give him a well aimed punch, Albus managed to resist this of course after all it was his belief that violence was never an answer. He turned his head for a few seconds to look at his wife. Her cheeks where bright red in embarrassment and she was looking down at her hands as if she felt guilty. “Please don’t hurt me,” Alastor pleaded desperately Albus could tell he was slightly drunk but not drunk enough to be able to do something like this with out realising how wrong it was. “I’m sorry!” He muttered softly as he started to cry. Albus let go of him quickly and watched as the man slid to the floor. “Why?” Albus asked softly his voice full of anger and disappointment. “Why would you do something like this? You’re supposed to our friend why would you risk our friendship for one-night and with my wife no less!” He watched as Alastor started to cry even more. “You better tell me Alastor Moody and better tell me the truth!” “I love her...” He sobbed quietly; Albus could feel his anger bubbling up again. “You don’t trick someone you love into bed with you!” He growled. “I wanted her,” Alastor yelled drunkenly at Albus “I wanted her! I love her and I wanted her. Yet you got there first... she’s always said we were like brother and sister but I don’t want to be her brother. I want to be her lover I want to have the position you do. Why should you have it anyway? What have you got that I haven’t and the fact your so much older then her, you can’t satisfy her needs like I could. I wanted her since I was 9 I had her first but you stole her from me.” “How dare you!” Minerva screamed from the other side of the room. “How dare you to pretend to be Albus to sleep with me! I thought you respected me more then that...” She screamed at Alastor as if the realisation of what had happened just hit her. “I love you!” Alastor pleaded. “You don’t do something like that to someone you love!” Minerva snapped back. Albus watched as the man in front of him started to become angry. “You can’t say that! You’re just as bad, how could you not have known I wasn’t Albus! You obviously don’t know you husband very well!” “I didn’t have any suspicions as I didn’t believe a friend would do this to me!” She yelled back gripping the silk cover to her nude body tightly. “I gave you a much better time then he ever could!” Alastor muttered drunkenly. “Don’t flatter yourself, you were nothing compared to him.” Minerva yelled angrily blushing about what she was talking about and the fact she felt Alastor was slightly right. Did she really not know her husband that well that she couldn’t tell the difference between him and an impostor? “That’s not what you were saying a minute ago.” Alastor muttered softly. Albus sensing the huge build up of anger and tension between the three of them quickly decided to end the conversation. “Minerva he’s drunk, he doesn’t know what he’s saying, I’m just going to get him out of here we can ask him about this when he’s sober.” Minerva nodded softly and watched her husband as he brutally dragged Alastor out of the room.

Poor Minerva! What a position to be put into. What happened to Mr. Constant Vigilance? You'd think that if he was going to pretend to be Albus he would at least know when the man was due home. I hate to disagree with Albus but this time Violence may be appropriate. grrrr.

Oh my heart goes out to Albus and Min, what a horrible situation to be in. How will they get back to normal and part of me feels a little bit sorry for Alastor...I dont agree with what he has done but to love someone who has never loved you, must be hard to deal with

I don't know who to feel worse for in this story...Albus for finding his wife making love to his best friend who's pretending to be him...or Minerva for not realizing that the man in the bed with her wasn't her husband! Alastor needs to be flogged for what he's done...drunk or not...he's damanged a beautiful relationship! Can't wait to see how they get beyond this! Great job!

Chapter 3: Love
Albus didn’t return to bed that night, after throwing Alastor into his house and locking the door he returned home. For a long time he stood in front of the door to their bed room wondering if he should go in or not. He decided not to and spent the remainder of the night pacing the deserted stone streets that lay by their home. He couldn’t shake the image of his wife, his Minerva being touched by Alastor. It revolted him. He felt betrayed, his best friend had just snuck his way in to bed with his wife he had every right to feel betrayed. But he also felt so angry, angry with both Alastor and Minerva. How could she not tell the difference! How could she not know? Albus knew it was wrong of him to be thinking these thoughts Minerva wasn’t the problem she was the victim. Yet he still felt a strange kind of anger and sadness at the thought of her not knowing the difference between him and Alastor in his body.
The dawn slowly came but it didn’t shed any light on Albus’ dark mood. Turning back he decided to return home and get some sleep.
He found Minerva sitting silently on the sofa in the living room when he returned. Her skin was slightly pink from where she had scrubbed furiously at it in the shower; her dark eyes were circled with a deep red showing her tears and lack of sleep.
“Albus?” She muttered as she heard the living room door close quietly. She turned and saw Albus’ own eyes were outlined in red also. She watched him with a hawk like fascination as he circled around the sofa and came to stop in front of her.
“Where did you go?” She whispered moving slightly closer to him. He didn’t answer her instead he leaned forward and kissed her lips softly. He quickly pulled away. It didn’t feel right for both him and her. It didn’t leave the lasting spark as most of their kisses did. It was uncomfortable and strange. He lent in and kissed her softly again just to make sure he wasn’t wrong. It was even worse the second time. Minerva watched slightly confused as Albus stood up and dashed out of the house as quick as humanly possible.
“Albus!” She called after him loudly, but he was now to far away to hear her.

(thank you to all you lovely reviewers!!! Big hugs for you all! This chapter is kind of weird (yes weirder then the rest of it) btu it gets me where i wanted for the next chapter so hey ) Chapter 4: Promises It was almost night fall again and Albus had not returned. Minerva continued to busy her self as the day went on, she felt so worried and guilty. ‘What if something happens to him…’ her inner voice muttered over and over again. ‘What if he doesn’t come back what will you do then.’ It was all her fault Minerva found herself thinking, if she wasn’t so stupid and ignorant she would have noticed it wasn’t Albus and then he would probably be with her now telling her how much he loved her. A heavy knock on the door interrupted her from her thoughts and cleaning. She quickly moved towards the large door hoping it was Albus behind it. She was quite shocked however when the person she had least expected to see looked right at her. She forcefully went to slam the door in his face but was stopped by Alastor’s forceful hand pressing against the door. “We need to talk.” He said simply. Minerva sighed softly and let him in but not before making sure her wand was in her right pocket. “What do you want?” Minerva asked quite rudely for her normal character. She watched softly as he moved closer to her and smiled. “Last night was so amazing…” He started before having Minerva cut him of promptly. “How dare you, I thought you had come to apologise get out now!” He smiled softly. “Apologise for what you knew it was me all along there’s no wrong in it, and now Albus knows yes it will hurt but know he knows and he is no longer an obstacle.” Minerva looked at him, her jaw slightly open. “Are you crazy? I love Albus and he loves me, you’re not ever going to be able to stop that!” Alastor smirked at this and moved to stand next to her. “Where is he Minerva… if he loves you so much why isn’t he here comforting you?” He manipulatively muttered. “He’s on order business.” Minerva lied. “Minerva he doesn’t love you, he’s like a spoilt child he sees you as nothing more then a possession; a toy even. And at the moment he’s having a sulk at the fact that someone else has played with you.” Minerva opened her mouth to retaliate but nothing came out. Alastor took advantage of this and quickly kissed her, earning a well aimed slap across his face when he pulled away. “Get out of my house!” Minerva said shakily. “Get out now!” She screamed pointing at the door. “Of course.” He muttered before turning and leaving quickly. Albus found his wife crying alone on their sofa an hour later. He had soon calmed down after his walk and tried to console her gently, this was hard though considering his hands wouldn’t allow themselves to touch her. Albus watched as she slowly cried herself to sleep with out even saying a word to him. He left her alone and went in search of their house elf. “Freddie,” Albus sighed when he found him. “Do you know what’s wrong with Minerva?” “Oh master, Freddie thinks her guest upset her she hasn’t stopped crying since he left.” He squeaked. “Who was that guest?” Albus asked determined to find out what had hurt his wife so much. “Freddie thinks it was Master Moody.” |
