Since I'm trying to stay as far away as I can from "Chapter 11" I present you with:
Chapter 12
Surprise, Surprise
(I smell some citrus on the breeze. Not a lemon. A lime, maybe?)
"Oh. Oh, Albus," Minerva said softly. "It's beautiful. I don't know how to thank you," she said as she looked up at him, tears shimmering in her dark green eyes. She slowly raised the gold necklace from it's box. The pendant was a large, flat oval of onyx. It was not ordinary onyx though. A red and orange smoke seemed to drift across is surface flickering like a flame. This was Dragon's Fire Onyx which is the shell fragments of the Flame Tail Dragons that live in high, mountainous regions around the world. The babies used their fiery breath to break the eggshell and begin their mysterious lives. The shells are semi-precious and precious gemstones and the babies' breath scorches them leaving sparkling marks on the shell bits. The most valuable gems in existence are Dragon's Fire Diamonds, otherwise known as Frozen Fire, which are very rare. The finest engagement rings in the world are made using these stones.
Minerva felt undeserving of the exquisite, expensive present. "Albus, I can't... I'm not... This is a gift for someone you care about - for someone you..."
"And I care very deeply for you," Albus said with a friendly smile. He took the necklace, walked behind her, and fastened it around her neck. His fingers trailed over the same sensitive spot by her collarbone that he'd found the night before. Again she gasped softly, but this time she looked over her shoulder and caught his eye. They stayed just looking at each other, searching for the reason for their new found feelings in the unknowing eyes of the other. Faces flushed and breathing quickened as the nearly dead fire of passion was stoked back to life in both of them. This time Minerva couldn't suppress the urge to pull Albus close to her. Turning, she never lost his gaze as they each succumbed to their whims and embraced.
Albus gently lifted Minerva slightly to enable her petite body to make more contact with his own. She relaxed and pressed herself against him and then something else caused her gasp louder out of shock. Albus felt a nearly electric sensation travel through his body. He knew only too well where it had originated. Pulling the top half of his body away from Minerva, he looked down. Just as he'd feared, the bulge in his robes had returned and was pressed against the soft warmth between her slightly parted legs. The pair stood frozen, awaiting the other's reaction. Slowly Albus began to lower Minerva to the ground. She moaned quietly as his member pressed more firmly into her sensitive area which seemed to her to be more sensitive than usual this evening, as if it had been reawakened by her dream that morning.
"Albus, you should get dressed for the party. We should be leaving." Minerva said desperate to regain her composure and avoiding eye contact.
"Minerva, I didn't mean..." Albus tried to approach her but she backed away. Finally her eyes raised to meet his.
"Please, Albus. I know it wasn't intentional. It's just something that happened. We can talk later. Right now, I just want to get this birthday thing over with." She smiled coyly. "I've worked out what to do about those Slytherin boys. With a wave of her wand an sign appeared by her left shoulder which read "Be back shortly. Please wait." Minerva's grin had a sort of feline quality. "I don't want to be the only one who is the butt of jokes tonight," she mused.
They both resolved to do their best to forget what had happened at least until the next morning. They figured it wouldn't be so hard when there were things to distract them from their unusually sexual behavior.
Albus smiled back at her and then turned go to his room and dress and try to figure out a way to keep his wandering member securely out of the way. As he entered his private quarters a familiar chuckle was heard coming from a large portrait. Fawkes sat on his perch with a wing over his face. Albus wasn't sure if the bird was amused or embarrassed.

Chapter 13
Someone To Lean On
"Enough," Albus growled at portrait of the former Headmaster. He passed through his study and entered his bedroom where he flung open the doors to his armoire and began to search for attire suitable for a night out with his friends and colleagues. He was trying to decide between a midnight blue and a burgundy outer robe to go with his cream and light gold brocade inner robe.
"What about that one?" Armando said gesturing to a robe far to the back as he appeared with a pop in the middle of the print of Van Gogh's Starry Night in Albus' bedroom. Coincidentally, it had been a birthday gift from Minerva many years before. Albus pulled the forest green robe out from its hiding place. "Very smart, indeed. Now if we could only keep you from feeling up the guest of honor," Armando said with a smile.
"I have not been feeling her up! Site one instance of my hands wandering," Albus said smugly.
"Who said anything about your hands?" Armando retorted.
Albus chose to ignore his predecessor's last comment and turned his attention to the brilliantly colored phoenix on his perch by the window. The bird was unusually silent. Looking closer, he noticed that Fawkes had something in his beak. A square bit of foil?
"Fawkes, is that a condom?!" Albus said a little too loudly.
"Just in case things with Minerva go well," Armando began. "I know it has been a while, but I'd have thought you'd remember what they were for."
"Of course I remember what they're for! I would never sleep with Minerva!" Albus snapped. Then a reflection in the window caught his attention. "Minerva?"
"I know. You're sorry. You didn't mean it like that." she said in her usual sarcastic tone. With a sad sigh she added, "I'll wait for you in the hall." She had left him before he'd gotten his voice back. Quickly, he pulled on the green outer robe and brushed his hair and beard. He made his way down the rotating stairway which lead to his chambers and found Minerva waiting by the entrance for him. She looked as strong and composed as she ever did, but something in her eyes seemed so unhappy. "Minerva?" he said softly touching her shoulder.
She didn't say a word and shrugged away from him. As they made their way down the stairs together the stairs began to change position. It set the couple off balance and Minerva fell into Albus' side, wrapping her arms around him in hopes of steadying herself. He looked down at her and caught her eye. They shared another long look, but the passion had gone from both of them. A small smile slipped across her lips for a moment. "I should be happy. At least I have someone to lean on," she murmured.
"What was that, my dear?" Albus asked.
"It was nothing, Albus. Nothing." She pulled away from him and they made their way down to meet their friends and start the evening.
The group of faculty members reached the apparation point just as three young Slytherins were noticing a sign on the gargoyle which lead to the Headmaster's office. "Wait? Are you kidding, old man?" Draco Malfoy said as he slumped against the wall wondering how long the Headmaster would be.

Chapter 14
Friends as Enemies
Minerva was quiet as the professors approached the Hog's Head. They got a table an began to figure out where everyone was going to sit. Albus slid into the booth and motioned for Minerva to sit beside him. She pretended she hadn't noticed, but the ever-reliable Rolanda Hooch had seen and made it known. "Minerva, Albus wants you," she said with a sly grin.
"No, he doesn't," Minerva said softly.
"Yes, I do," Albus said oblivious to the true meaning of Rolanda and Minerva's comments. "I love having you next to me." Minerva was resigned to the situation and slid in next to Albus. She tried to keep her distance, but Rolanda kept prodding her in the side with her wand eventually forcing Minerva to not only move closer, but also lean into her friend and employer who responded by moving his arm from it's resting place along the back of the booth down to her shoulders. "My dear, you're so cold." He pulled her closer.
"I'm alright," Minerva said trying to pull away from him. It was all too awkward for her.
As the two continued, they failed to see their friends' reactions. Hagrid covered his eyes. Snape scowled and gave a groan. Sybil giggled as did Poppy. Pomona and Filius exchanged a knowing smile. Rolanda grinned deviously. She would have those two sharing at least a kiss by the end of the night.
Eventually, drinks and food were ordered and a lively conversation was started. Much to Minerva's discomfort, it was about love. Some delightful soul had asked Filius and Pomona about their relationship. Albus still held Minerva tighter than she would like, but she'd stopped fighting it and let him move her closer still. It seemed to make him happy. It probably would've made her happy as well if she thought it meant he might think of her as something more than a friend. She'd never realized that she loved him. He'd never been anything more than a friend. That morning when he'd kissed her, she thought she felt something between them that she'd never felt before and when he'd taken her hand and said that he just wanted to make her smile she'd discovered that, much to her surprise, she was in love with him. Truly in love with him. They'd been friends for years and she'd just now realized that, against all reason and her better judgment, Albus Dumbledore might be the love of her life.
"Minerva?" Albus' gentle voice brought her back to reality. "Are you alright. You looked miles away."
She smiled up at him - her first real smile of the evening. "I was, I'm sorry. What did I miss?"
"Only the tale of the greatest romance of modern times!" Pomona huffed. Her good humor returned as her husband gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
The evening continued on in much the same way with jokes and laughter all around. When the waiter brought out the birthday cake, everyone sang "Happy Birthday" and then Rolanda lead them in a chorus of "When I'm Sixty-Four". Minerva wasn't one who enjoyed cake frosting and she'd scraped most of it off her piece of Poppy's homemade spice cake, but Albus couldn't let that be. He fussed and complained about delicious cream cheese frosting going to waste and finally resorted to taking a bit into his fork and trying to feed it to her. Everyone seemed to have a comment as she relented and let him feed her. Much to her surprise, this frosting was every bit as delicious as Albus had said it was. She fed him some as well. She was having a lovely time, but there was still a small part of her that was still wondering what Rolanda had in store for her.
Then Rolanda gave a sly smile and stood. "Well Minerva, it's time for your night to begin." With a wave of her wand, the Flying Instructor had blindfolded her friend. Minerva had no idea that the man next to her had also been blindfolded. "No peeking," the amber-eyed witch said still grinning mischievously.
