Ich heirate eine Familie

[Junora]

Chapter 10

Albus and Minerva met every week for over four months after that wonderful evening, and
they got to know each other better and better over the month.

Then, one evening, they took the ultimate step in their relationship, after one especially beautiful night. After they came back from the opera the obligatory goodnight kiss turned into a hot and erotic promise for more.

This night Albus didn't go home but stayed with Minerva for a long romantic night of lovemaking.

In the heat of the night, and occupied with something other than her usual routine, Minerva forgot to lock the door. Albus remembered a silencing charm, but that was all.


In the morning Minerva woke up to a hard chest pressed against her back, and for a brief moment she had forgotten who was with her in her bed.

But after a few seconds it all came back to her. She and Albus had taken the ultimate step in their relationship. And he stayed the night.

With a huge smile on her face she turned around to face the still sleeping man. He looked so handsome, his hair and beard still short from yesterday’s visit to the opera, so he would blend in a lot better.

He had a serene smile on his face and Minerva couldn't stop herself –she had to kiss this wonderful man.

But only moments before she could kiss him good morning her bedroom door burst open and a small whirlwind in form of a four year old Felix came in and jumped on his mother’s bed.

“'lo, Mama! I missed you yesterday,” he said a bit too loudly, so Albus had no other choice but to wake up.

“Mama? Minerva Why didn't you told me that you have a son?” Albus asked, a bit mortified.

“Well, you see, I...”, but before she could end her sentence her other children came in.

“Mother do you know where Felix is, he....” Lilly stopped mid sentence and looked, surprised, at the man next to her mother.

“Who are you?” Marcus asked Albus.

“He is our new Daddy, right?” asked Felix hopefully.

“I really don't know about that, children, I think your mother has a lot to explain to me,” said Albus angrily, glaring at Minerva.

“Okay, sweeties, go and watch TV for a few minutes. I'll be down in a few minutes. I have to speak with Albus,” said Minerva, her face bright red.
“How could you not tell me that you have children? I thought we could trust each other, I really thought I mean anything to you?” he yelled, angry.

He wasn't angry that she had children, but he was deeply hurt that she thought that she had to lie to him about it.

“Albus, please listen, I wanted to tell you, but just not now, I wanted to wait a bit longer. Please understand me. I mean, who would want a single mother with three children?” she asked and followed him as he got out of bed and dressed himself.

“Minerva, I really thought I could trust you but apparently not. I have to think about it. Goodbye!” with that he was gone and left a crying Minerva behind.

“Mama, are you two coming down? Oma made breakfast,” Lilly yelled.

“Two? Who is up there with your mother, sweetheart?” asked Mèave, a bit surprised.

“Our new Dada!” said Felix proudly.

“Your new what? Minerva come down this instant!” yelled Mèave

But before she could say anything else, Minerva enter the kitchen with red rimmed eyes.


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





A few kilometers away, Alfons was making his wife breakfast in bed. He had it all done, a cup of coffee, chocolate croissant, strawberries, a red rose and the Morning Prophet on a tray.

He had promised her that he would do everything to make her happy, and he knew she loved breakfast in bed, so he entered the bedroom and gently tried to wake her up.

“Rolanda, sweetheart, breakfast is ready!” he called

Rolanda woke up and saw her husband standing at the end of her bed and smiling hesitantly. She thought that he was indeed trying to change he was friendly towards his customers, okay from time to time he was looking after a skirt but that was is. Just looking, no touching.

And so Rolanda learned to love him again. And believe it or not she was truly happy again. She even had a little secret she wanted to tell him, but not until she talked to Minerva.


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

In the meantime, Albus was pacing in front of his desk in Hogwarts, behind him was his familiar, the phoenix, Fawkes.

“I can't believe it, Fawkes, she has children and she didn't even tell me! How can I trust her now? I really thought we had something, all these months she couldn't find a moment and tell me! I mean, how hard can it be to just say, “Albus, I have children!” She should really know me better than that after the time we spend together.”


In the background Fawkes gave a shrill note which sound a lot like 'you're kidding' and a few squawks.

“What do you mean, she was scared? We spent nearly four months together and I told her everything. How can she not know that I love her and I would love her children if she just told me!” answered Albus angrily.

All the noise woke some of the former headmasters and headmistresses.

“For heaven’s sake, Dumbledore, shut up! Some of us wants to enjoy our life after death as a portrait, so we can finally sleep in peace!” Dexter Fortescue yelled down.

“Don't be such a fleabag, Dexter, the boy’s heart is broken! Leave him alone”, Dilys Derwent said, annoyed.

“If his sweet little heart is so broken why doesn't he just run to his Mother and leave us the hell alone. That is all I want, some peace!” yelled Phineas Black

“Please, Dexter, Dilys, Phineas, I'm sorry. I think you are right, I really should talk to Esther. Maybe she knows how to solve this problem.”

With that he threw a handful of Floo powder into the fireplace and called Esther. A few moments later her head appeared in front of him.

“Albus, sweetie, what can I do for you?” her flaming head asked. She knew that it had something to do with his current girlfriend, since she hadn't seen him for nearly four months, but she wisely choose to let him tell her everything.

“Mother, do you have time? I need to talk to someone with a clear head and no ill feeling towards me,” he said.

“Of course, dear, not that I'm not happy that you want to speak with me but what about Aberforth, you two talk about everything namely 'manly' things.”

“He doesn't talk to me at the moment, he thinks I'm a idiot because I let his favorite doe Betsy elope. So next time I'm allowed to speak to him is probably next month.” was Albus' reply.

Esther knew it was serious – she had not seen him so downcast in a long time.

So Albus came over, and hours later he had told his mother everything concerning Minerva, that he had the time of his life, that he really thought he could fall in love with the witch.

And he told her that said witch had children, which she hadn't told him about, he felt betrayed and didn't thought he could ever trust her again. He even thought about how he could break up with her.

As feedback to his words, unlike he had thought, he got smacked on the back of his head with a newspaper.

“Albus, I do really love you, you are my son, and what I'm about to say, I will say in utmost love.
You are a complete idiot.”, answered Esther calmly

“She was scared, I mean what would you do if you met a woman and you have three children, do really want to tell me that you would have told her that on the first or second date?”

He thought about it and came to the conclusion that he probably wouldn't, now that he had a woman's perspective on the event he saw how foolish he behaved, he tried to sweet talk his mother into giving him his great-grandmothers ring.


So guys what do you think???

I love reviews.

[madditmcgranitt]

Albus sometimes behaves just an idiot ... and Minerva too!

I really like this story ...

[Rosemary Dumbledore McGonagall]

Wow! I love this story! I hope this is updated soon!

Chapter 11

“Mina, are you there?” sounded a voice through the living room of Minerva's new house.

After the disaster with Albus and the not so nice comments from her mother’s side she had enough, and moved to a medium sized cottage on the west coast of Scotland.
Her children loved it – it was near enough so they could visit their grandparents and far enough for Minerva to avoid them.

“MINERVA!” yelled the voice again.

Rolanda never was a patient woman, but since she had received exciting news she wanted to share with her best friend, she even had less patience than normal.

“YES!” yelled Minerva, who came out of the kitchen, drying her hands on a towel, “What can I do for you Rolanda? What do I owe this wonderful pleasure?” asked Minerva sarcastically.

“Minerva, take off the bloody charms on your fireplace, I have wonderful news I want to share with you!” Rolanda yelled.

Minerva muttered a few words and the charm was lifted. Rolanda came through, though Minerva didn't even looked at her as she vanished back into the kitchen, mumbling to herself.

All Rolanda could hear was that Minerva said something about her friend being the biggest nuisance since Gilderoy Lockhart.

“So, dear friend, what is it that you want to share with me?” asked Minerva as she levitated Rolanda and herself a cup of tea from the sideboard to the table.

Rolanda was too excited to notice the sarcasm that laced every word of her friend’s sentence; she just bounced up and down on her chair.

“Oh Mina, I'm so happy, you know that I wanted to leave Alfons for good?!”

“Yes, you said something like that, but now what is the.... oh, my God, you finally left that scum, oh how wonderful, I'm so happy for you, my dear!” said Minerva gushing.

Rolandas face fell, “No, Minerva, I haven't left him – we're together again. He promised that he wouldn't chase another skirt and so far he hasn't, but that is not what I wanted to tell you,” said Rolanda, too happy to be long angry at her friend.

“Mina, you are going to be a aunt!” gushed Rolanda, jumping up from her chair and embracing Minerva happily without noticing that her friend was too petrified to embrace her back.

“I... I'm... you are... what?”

“Yes I'm pregnant, isn't that wonderful? Alfons and I are going to be parents in six months!” smiled Rolanda happily. “Say that you are happy for me, Mina, you are my best friend!” she begged.

“Yes, yes, of course. Oh, I'm really happy for you Landa, congratulations dear,” smiled Minerva. But at the same time her heart dropped. At the moment she just couldn't be happy for her friend, as much as she tried, she just couldn't.

“Ok, I’m off to tell Poppy,” she smiled and hugged her friend one last time before leaving through the Floo.

Minerva sank to her knees and began to sob into her hands. What had she done so wrong that the whole world wanted to punish her so much? First her husband left her for another woman, then she met another man and he left her because she didn't tell him on the first date that she is a mother of three children, and after said man left, her own mother told her that she is not better than a ordinary harlot, sleeping with a man she was not married to.

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

Esther sat at the kitchen table with her books and calculator and doing paperwork for her three restaurants. Next to her sat Aberforth, trying to read the latest article in “Sheeps 'n' Goats, everything for the passionate breeder” – his favorite magazine.

At Esther's left side Ariana sat and tried to feed her latest pet demon, as Esther liked to call it.
The small kitten was now a full-grown fire Jaguar – and as you can tell from the name it was not an ordinary Jaguar. Everywhere it sat down it was possible that a burn mark was left on the floor.

“Ari, do you have to feed that beast at the table? I mean, what would you do if I tried to bring one of my goats into the kitchen or even tried to feed her from the table?” asked Aberforth, annoyed.

“I would like to see that, Mom would try to kill you. Don’t you remember the last time you tried that stunt?” asked Ariana, sticking her tongue out to her brother.

But just as she went to pull it back into her mouth, Esther held the tip between her thumb and index finger.

“What have I told you time and time again, Ariana?”she said without looking up, “I told you to respect your older brothers and they should respect you. And I told you that if I ever catch your tongue outside your mouth without a good reason I cut it off. Do you want that?”,asked her Mother and looked at her daughter over her small rimmed glasses.

“Uh-uh,” was all Ariana could answer and shook her head.

“Good, now take your pet demon out of the house, and please, this time, lock its cage properly, thank you.”

“Yes Mom,” said Ariana and brought her Jaguar to the aviary where she held all her pets.

“ABERFORTH, A-B-E-R-F-O-R-T-H! You bloody bastard...come up here this instant.”, yelled a annoyed voice through the house.

“Oh, what now, I even hadn't the time enough to annoy him! Ari, what have you done?” asked Aberforth as he tried to hide behind his mother.

At the same moment, Albus came down with Anna, Aberforth’s favorite goat, which was happily munching on his most prized possession – a purple velvet candy bag, which was till this moment self refilling – a present from Esther as he got his Order of the Merlin first class.

Albus was fuming, though he learned to tolerate his siblings pet choices and tried to accept them the way they where, enough was enough.

“Aberforth, take this filthy creature outside or we eat goat this evening,” said Albus.

“No, not Anna, you know I love her the most! You wouldn't dare to hurt sweet little innocent Anna would you?”

“Momma, how can you be so calm, can't you reprimand him?” Aberforth turned desperately towards his mother.

“Sorry dear, but you three are old enough to deal with your problems yourselves. So leave me out of it. As long as you are here you have to accept my rules and that's it,” answered Esther as she got up and walked towards her study to finish her paperwork.


Hey guys, I hope you like this chapter.

Danke für euer Verständniss.

Second I have the measles so I'm not feeling so well and I don't know how long it will take until I can update, because it is hard to concentrate with 40°C fever.

Ok love you all and if this is my last chapter for this year, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Chapter 12

As Esther was finishing her paperwork she let out a satisfied groan. “Finally! With all that ruckus around here I thought I never finish it.”,

“Muuum, Abe is being mean to Muffin again!” Ariana’s voice could be heard even in the study.

“Really, they are worse than three year olds,” she muttered to herself, “And you are a tattletale! Work it out with you brother by yourself or you have to do the dishes in the restaurant,” she yelled back.

Promptly all was silent in the house until, “Mama, Ariana has hexed Anna, and she won’t change her back!” Aberforth said, bursting through the door and hiding behind his mother.

“Really, Abe, how old are you? Since when do you need Mama for help? I thought you were a grown man, you are such a wuss!” said Ariana with a smirk.

“Ariana Dumbledore, leave your brother alone! I want you to return his goat to its original state and then you apologize. And you too, Aberforth Dumbledore, you apologize at once to your sister and then I want some peace,” said Esther angry.

“Sorry,” came the timid voices of Abe and Ariana. With a wave of Ariana’s wand Anna returned to her original state.

“Ok, now leave me alone, please!”, said a tired Esther.

“Yes, Mum.” And with that they left.


At the other side of the house Albus was dressing himself in his most priced robes, he wanted to make his peace with Minerva and maybe wanted to court her, when she even let him over the threshold.

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

Alfons was sitting behind the counter of his shop when the door opened and a very, very attractive woman came in.

She had long, blond, wavy hair, the most remarkable brown eyes, a curvy figure, and luscious bosom on which you could have cracked nuts.

She wore a light and very short dress, with nearly sheer robes over it. If he didn't know it better he would have though that she wore a bathrobe.

But strangely enough since he had promised Rolanda no more side leaps he had zero interest in that 'woman'.

Previously he would have fantasied about kissing her full lips and running his hands over her curves and even this thought would have aroused him, but today no, nothing.

So he just returned to his paperwork and ignored the woman.

“Excuse me, kind sir”, she said airily, thrusting her breasts under his nose.

“Yes, yes, may I help you?”, Alfons asked, trying to push her away without touching the woman. He didn't want any trouble with his wife.

“Yes, could you show me some of you best brooms, I need a new one. Mine is not the youngest anymore.”

“Sure, what type of flying will you need it for – travelling, Quidditch, or transportation?”, Alfons asked and came over to show her the brooms.

“Oh, I really don't know. Er, I do fly a lot but I don't travel very much with it. And sometimes I play indeed Quidditch...”

*And how do you do it without falling over with all the weight in front of you?* came the sarcastic thought from Alfons, though of course he didn't say it out loud.

“...and sometime I have a passenger with me on my broom,” the busty blonde finished, touching his arm.

“Yeah, aaahh, maybe you should talk to my wife, I think she can help you more than I,” Alfons coughed and called his obvious pregnant wife to the front shop.

“Yes Alfons, what do you need....” Rolanda said, but stopped mid-sentence as she saw the other woman all over her husband.

“Aaah yes, Rolanda please could you take this customer over I have awful lot to do,” he said with a pleading look.

“Of course darling!” she said, emphasizing the endearment.

The blonde’s face fell as she saw that maybe she couldn't get a broom with her just body as she normally could.

And indeed when Rolanda was finished the blonde had paid twice the price of a broom which was originally on sale.

“So, my darling husband, would you like to explain to me why that little dumb slut was all over you?” she asked and tried to hold her temper.

“Please, my sweet, I really didn't do anything wrong, she just asked me if I could help her, to find the right broom, and as I realized what she really wanted I called for you, didn't I?” explained Alfons in one breath.

Rolanda smiled lovingly at her husband – he was so whipped – and she kissed him on the cheek, leaving for the backroom of the store.

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

Minerva sat in front of her living room window and watched her children play in the garden. She didn't know what to do. She had realized that she loved Albus, but after the disaster a few weeks ago, she really didn't know if she would ever see him again.

Suddenly her musing was interrupted by a sharp knock on the front door.

Minerva snorted quite unladylike like and opened the door. As she saw who was in front of it she froze.

Albus Dumbledore was standing in front of her, smiling slightly, looking like a model from the cover of 'Magical Fashion- The Queen of Teen Magazines'… though of course she would never admit that she was reading her daughter’s magazines.

“Al...Albus, what are you doing here?” she asked in a whisper.

“Minerva, I wanted to apologize for my behavior. I was a complete idiot, and I had a serious talk with a friend of mine pointing out my mistakes for me… rather violently if I may say so. And I realized that I'm not angry at you but at myself for my behavior towards you. If you give me another chance I want to court you, or more precisely, I want to marry you.

‘I realized during these last few weeks that I don't want to live without you, I can't live without you, my dear. Please say something,” he pleaded, kneeling in front of Minerva.

As he looked up, he saw that tears were falling down Minerva's cheeks as she cried silently. She tried to stop the flow but no success.

“Yes, oh yes, Albus”, she cried and flung her arms around his neck.

Albus held her tightly to his heart – he couldn't remember a time when he was happier than he was in this moment. All they had to do was tell her children, but that problem seemed years away.

“Albus, as much as I like to be in your arms, I really need to go and tell the children. Would you like to come with me?” she asked hesitantly.

“Of course, my dear, as I hope that they will accept me as their new stepfather in a few months, perhaps?” he smiled lovingly at her.

As she looked up at him, he bent down to her and captured her mouth in a loving and heated kiss, which was only broken when Minerva felt him put a ring on her finger. It was his great-grandmother’s – nearly eight hundred years old, 24 karat white gold, with a round blue diamond in the middle and one green diamond on each side.

She couldn't say anything, could only kiss him repeatedly to show her gratitude.


Ok dears,

I had another fever induced “idea” I hope you like it.
I realized that I haven't thanked my dearest beta Diana enough. She is my inspiration.

Thank you very much my dear.

So this is the last chapter for this year.
And with this famous last words I wish everybody on the board and their families a merry, merry Christmas and a very, Happy New Year.
May you have a wonderful start in the Year 2010.
Yours Lottie

[Rosemary Dumbledore McGonagall]

[Junora]

Chapter 13

Minerva was on cloud nine; Albus asked her to marry him, and she couldn't be happier – even her children loved him.

'Ok, stop fooling yourself, old girl, they accepted him more or less'.

Little Felix had even told him in very clear words that he could never be his real dad and that he would go to Bernhardt.

But the problem was that her ex-husband didn't even allow his child to enter his home; he blocked the Floo entrance and “kicked” him back literally.

Little Felix was crushed. He didn't wanted to eat for hours, or go play outside like he used to do with his siblings.

Her other children, on the other hand, told him that if he loved their mother he should love them too, and would adopt them without a thought, and as Albus said it would be wonderful to adopt them and make them his, he passed their test and he was welcome to their little family.

Lillian was for the first time in years truly happy again with the stories her new dad told them and Marcus couldn't believe how awesome it was that his new dad could play Quidditch.

Only little Felix wasn't happy and that was something Minerva didn't like.

“Knut, for your thoughts!”

“What, are my thoughts not worth more than that to you? I'm hurt!”

“Ok then a million Galleons for a single thought of yours, my dear,” came Albus’s reply as he wrapped his arms around his fiancée’s waist.

“It is Felix, I don't think he doesn’t like you, it is just for him his dad was the almighty hero, the man better than Santa Clause, Lucia, Befana, der Weihnachtsmann, the Nikolaus and Father Frost together. And now he refuses to even let Felix see him, it is so sad,” said Minerva with a big sigh.

“I have an Idea, my sweet, maybe I can cheer him up a bit,” said Albus, kissing Minerva deeply.

A few hours later, he went upstairs to speak to the smallest McGonagall child.

“Felix, may I come in, I think we have to talk a bit”, asked Albus through the door.

“Go 'way, no talk!”, yelled little Felix back.
“But I have a surprise for you.”

“M'kay,” came the timid reply.

As Albus opened the door he saw the little boy lying under his duvet. All he could see from the little boy was a bit of raven hair peeking out from under the blanket.

“Hi, Felix, could you come out of there please? It is a bit difficult to speak to a blanket, don't you think?” asked Albus with a little chuckle.

A teary-eyed little boy scrambled out of the blanket and sat as far away as he could from Dumbledore.

“Uh faid uh had a furprise for me?” he sniffed a little bit, as he cleaned his nose with one of his sleeves.

“Yes, but first you have to tell me why do you hate me, have I ever done something to you? If I have then I'm really sorry and I apologize,” said Albus and held his hand out for Felix to take.

“No, nothing wrong, but you not my daddy, I miss Daddy,” he sniffed.

“I understand that perfectly, I miss my parents too. I lost them too, but now I have a new mom, she is the best ever,” said Albus.

He explained to Felix how he lost his parents and how Esther had raised him and his siblings. Felix listened to him and even laughed from time to time.

“But now to your surprise, have you ever seen a Phoenix?”

“No!”

“Ok, so now you have to promise me to be careful. I want to introduce you to my familiar, Fawkes, he is a Phoenix, ok?” Albus said.

“Otay.”, mumbled Felix behind his thumb.

And a few second later Fawkes appeared with a wonderful soothing note.

He flew around a bit and then settled on his master’s lap, he allowed Felix to pet him, and after a few minutes Felix lay sleeping with Fawkes next to him.

“That was very sweet of you Albus,” came Minerva's quiet voice from the doorway.


After that evening Felix and Fawkes where inseparable. Wherever the boy was the phoenix was around.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks later Minerva and Rolanda met for a long overdue teatime chat.

“Mina, my dear, how are you I missed you terribly,” said Rolanda as Minerva came over for tea.

“Wonderful, Landa, how are you and the baby, you look terrific!” smiled Minerva, happy for her friend.

“We're better than good, even Alfons is now a domestic human being, he is whipped. Last week he really called for me as a sexy woman came into the shop, he was afraid I would leave him again,” laughed Rolanda as she placed one of her hands on her swollen stomach.

“Do you know what it is? I mean you don't have to tell me if you don't want to,” asked Minerva in a whisper.

“Of course, I want to tell you, Alfons and I even have a name for the baby. It is a girl by the way.
And we want to name her after my sister Sarah, I hope you don't mind,” said Rolanda with a faint smile.

“No, of course not, I know how much you miss her.” answered Minerva and gave her best friend a big but gentle hug.

Ok guys this is part one of the big Rolanda and Minerva chapters.
But I thought I should post this little something today.
The Chapters 13 and 14 are for Diana my little beta miracle.
Hope you like them.
Yours Lottie

A wonderful 2010 for all of you.

[Rosemary Dumbledore McGonagall]

Wow this is so sweet! I loved how Felix grew attached to Fawkes almost instantly! So sweet!

[madditmcgranitt]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... this stry is so sweet!!! I need more

[Junora]

Chapter 14


As Minerva and Rolanda were talking about this and that, Rolanda suddenly gasped and her hand went to her abdomen.

“She kicked, oh my god, Mina, she kicked me, this is so amazing, do you want to feel it?” asked Rolanda, who unlike Minerva never had felt something like that.

“It is a little bit like a goldfish dancing the tango,” said Minerva, smiling and laid her hand on the spot were the baby had kicked her friend.

With a sad smile Minerva looked at her friends swollen stomach. She remembered her three pregnancies well, and sometimes, though she wouldn't admit it if asked, she missed being pregnant.
Not that she didn't love her children, but this feeling, the unconditional love for a innocent baby growing inside you womb, is just unique.

“So what is Alfons up to these days?” asked Minerva so she could change the topic.

“Oh he is wonderful as husband and as father, he even went so far and flooed to Germany and got me this awesome strawberry cake I love. You know, the soft one,” said Rolanda dreamily.

And so the day went on with Minerva and Rolanda talking about nearly everything, they didn't noticed the time until the clock chimed six times.

“Oh heavens Rolanda, look at the time! I need to go home the children will be home in twenty minutes. And I don't want to let Albus alone with the kids just yet.” With that they hugged each other and Minerva apparated home.

Rolanda stayed in the kitchen a bit longer, lost in her thoughts as two hands snaked around her waist and made her jump.

“Heavens Alfons, I could have killed you with this unintentional magic that comes with the pregnancies,” she told him and tried to hide her growing smirk.

“I know sweetheart, and next time I will write an owl before I come into my own house, I promise you that,” he said and kissed her on the spot where her shoulder meet her neck.

“Ooh, Alfons, don't do that not in the kitchen, we have a wonderful bed upstairs,” moaned Rolanda as her body responded to her husband’s touch.

“I love you, my darling wife, I want to love you in every room of this house, and I promise you this now so we don't have to talk about it ever again. I will never leave you and the child, I vow to the soul of the next Dragonbreath Quidditchbroom that I will never ever again so much as think about another woman,” said Alfons into Rolandas neck

“Alfons, I do so love you at the moment”, was Rolanda’s breathless answer.

Alfons just grinned and scooped her into his arms and carried her into the bedroom to show her just how much he loved his wife.


I know I wanted to post sooner but my internet was down for over a month.
Sorry dears.

[Rosemary Dumbledore McGonagall]

Ohhhhh........ That's bad, but at least the chapter was good so it made up for it! Gosh I missed this story!

[Junora]

Chapter 15

Minerva was on her way home when she remembered that Albus had asked her to get him his beloved lemon drops. She took a detour and apparated to Inverness, to a nice little sweets shop she still knew from her childhood. They had the added bonus of the best homemade ginger newts in the world.

So she made her way into the shop and was immediately greeted by the owner herself, a wonderful old lady, the typical fairytale grandmother type. However, she could curse like a sailor – Minerva's brothers had been on the receiving end a few times.


“Baby girl, my, you have grown! The last time I saw you you were nothing but a wee kitten. How are you?” asked the old lady and hugged Minerva nearly to death.

“I'm fine Nana, and I'm really sorry that I haven’t visited as much as I should have,” smiled Minerva weakly. “But I'm not only here for a social visit, I wanted to ask if you have lemon drops or something similar.”

“Of course, darling, how many do you need?”

“I think one kilo should do the trick, Nana – they are for the kids.”

'Nana' just smiled knowingly and packed the drops into a paper bag with a few newts for Minerva.

“Here dear, have a safe journey and I hope now that you are back again I will see your lovely face more than just once a decade,” said Mhairi by way of farewell.

With that, Minerva said goodbye and in front of her house a few moments later.

When she opened the door she smelt a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen; it was dinnertime and the kids would be home soon.

Minerva followed the lovely smell to the kitchen and saw Albus in front of the stove making dinner.

“Mmm, what are you cooking, darling? It smells heavenly! I didn't even know you could cook!” Minerva said as she snaked her arms around his waist and kissed him between his shoulder blades.

“Ah, my sweet, my mother forced my siblings and me to learn how to cook, maybe she thought that one day all of us would live alone, without the help of an house-elf. But my sister still lives with her and my brother lives with his goats and eats at Mum's, so I think when it comes to Ariana and Aberforth it was a waste of time and blood.”

Minerva looked at him in surprise.

“You don't really want to know dear,” laughed Albus. He turned around and began to kiss Minerva's neck lovingly.

“Eeeewww, please get a room, you two that is so gross,” came a voice from the front door, and a sound like retching.

Minerva stepped out of Albus embrace and turned around to the voice. What she saw made her smile.

Lilly, Marcus and Felix looked like something freshly crawled out of Loch Ness – hair wet, clothes dirty and socks missing.

“My god, what happened to you three? Lilly, baby, where is your shoe?” asked Minerva and gave her children all a hug and kiss.

“I... I lost it, sorry Mummy. We were outside grandmas garden and then it began to rain and it was so fun to play in the rain and then, then grandma got angry at us because we made her carpet dirty and now we are here and I really don't know where my shoe is,” Lilly answered, ashamed, looking at her not-so-white-anymore sock.

“Oh baby, that is okay. It is just a bit dirt, grandma shouldn't have yelled at you. Now, come on, we are going to clean you three up and then we have dinner ok?” asked Minerva and took Lilly's hand and Felix on her hip and straight towards he bathroom with Marcus on her heels.


As she had all her children squeaky clean and clothed in warm fluffy pajamas, she heard a loud sneeze coming from her youngest son.

He looked a bit worse than his siblings but not much, so she just scooped him up in her arms and carried him downstairs in to the kitchen.

As all were seated around the table Albus filled the bowls of the children with a wonderful chicken broth and as he was done with that the noodles began to change. In Lilly's bowl the would change into fairies and dance around, in Marcus’ bowl he could see a Quidditch match between Scotland and Norway, and little Felix had phoenixes and other mythical creatures swimming.

All three children were clapping her hands happily and giving Albus a big grin.

“Thank you, Albus, that was really sweet of you,” Minerva smiled, and squeezed his hand lovingly.

“Hey, it is okay, I just remembered how my mother would charm our soups when we were ill. It is much better than boring normal soup.”

After Lilly and Marcus were done eating Albus brought them upstairs for a goodnight story and to brush their teeth.

But little Felix wasn't even done with half of his soup.

“Baby bear, what is the matter, are you not feeling well? Come here, come to mummy,” said Minerva and set Felix on her lap.

Not even ten minutes late her good friend and Mediwitch Poppy Pomfrey came over and began to check Felix for any diseases known to mankind magical and Muggle.

“Now Minerva, he just has a mild case of chickenpox, but you should be okay. You had them as you were his age, didn’t you?”

“Yes, I had them ,and Lilly and Marcus too, but I don't know about Albus. I just have to ask him,”
Minerva said.

In the meantime, Albus laid beside Felix and read him a story about the Dream island and her Queen. It was a lovely story and Felix loved it. Normally he would pretend to sleep when Albus came in but since he was ill and Albus came nonetheless into his room he was climbing the Daddy ladder even higher.

“You are not my Daddy!” said Felix suddenly, his voice quiet. “But you do things with me and my brother and sister that Daddy did. What should I call you?” Albus looked astonished at the little boy.

“You can call me Albus or Al or Uncle Albus or just Dumbledore, I really don't want to dictate what you should call me, I'm fine with whatever you choose.”

“When sissy tells me things about you she calls you Daddy, but she is afraid to tell you. Is it ok that we call you daddy?” asked Felix with hope shining bright in his eyes.

“I would be honored when you would call me Daddy, I love you all very much and I would be very proud if I could you all introduce you to my mother as my children,” said Albus, hugging Felix tightly. After that he kissed him goodnight and watched Fawkes fly over and cuddle up with the little boy.

As Albus went downstairs Minerva came towards him.

“Albus, I have to ask you something, did you had the chickenpox when you where a boy? Poppy just told me that Felix has the chickenpox so I don't want you to catch it,” said Minerva with a worried filled voice.

“That will be no problem dearest, I had them, so we don't need to worry about it.” Albus smiled and hugged Minerva to his chest.

“I know I'm just worried that is all,” Minerva replied and kissed him sweetly on the lips.

“Oh, and by the way, when will you introduce us to your family? We hear so much about them but we don't know them. I mean they are my future in-laws after all.”

“Well, I wanted to wait till Christmas, but we could visit them on Esther's birthday. She does hate her birthday but I think she would make an exception for us.”

“I hope so, I don't want to meet her when she is in a foul mood,” Minerva replied.

And so as they talked a bit more about his and her families they retired to bed, hoping that a new day would bring them new joy with their small family.

Your story is wonderful honey! *Gives a big hug* If anyone said it sucked, they would be hexed into next week! Please continue!

[madditmcgranitt]

[mmadfabulous]

I JUST LOVE YOUR STORY!

[albus1sttabby]

wunderprächtig, du schreibst ein super Englisch, gut das ich die Geschichte kenne (das Original), sonst fänd ich die Geschichte etwas merkwürdig. Never mind, good job!!! Hugs from Schleswig-Holstein!!!

God, thanks to your story I regret again that I'm not learning German.
I love your story! It's so fresh and new that I want to read it whole time! Your Minerva and Albus are fabulous, you know? At first I was surprised that not all of Minervas' children accepted Albus, but now it's okay. Personally, I think it was some freshness, too. In most of the stories, Albus is so good uncle, that everybody (except the Bad Ones) loves him.
I like your style of writing. It's very good and easy to read.


I was in Berlin only once... and it was raining, so I didn't find that place as beautiful as I should. I remember many lights, Christmas Market... and these roads! <3

Look forward to next chapters!

Hi,

I know I have neglected this story a long time but my muse wasn't interested anymore.
So I fired her and have a new one. ;D
Hopefully there are some of you who still wants to read this.

Hugs Lottie

Dear friends,

I know I promised to continue this story but, I don't think I will.
My grandma died, and I really don't have the heart on it any more.

I still have a few chapters written on paper (yes I still write per pen)
So now the choice is yours, should I continue this or should I end it now. I give you till the 1st of October to decide.

The poll should make it simple.

What ever your choice is I still Love all of you.

Hugs and kisses
Lottie

Well, I think we are all sorry to hear that. And I'm personally sorry about your grandma.
If you think that at the moment you're really down and you don't want to write just to get it written, then don't. If you want to share those "paper" chapters with us, then do it, it's really up to you.
We all would want to get all stories ended, but it's just impossible.
The point is, don't try to write just to make us happy. If you want - that's great, but if you decide otherwise, we'll have to cope with that.

With supportive hugs,
amy.



PS. I know I use to many "us" and "we", but if you think otherwise, share it.

[Junora]

Hi guys, I know, I know, I've been gone for nearly five years.
And I'm ashamed to say I have totally forgotten I had this story. But I think I will give it a propper ending. Since I'm one of those people who always moan about a writer who doesn't finish their stories.
I will post it on ff.net again. So If anybody of you want to read it be my guest look out for me on ff.net. I will start I think around the middle of November. Or early December.
And special thanks to all of you who were loyal to me.

Hugs Lottie

Keep writing!! Please!! I love it!!
