Rating: K+ may go to T eventually

Summary: Albus’s parents have a fight and his mother decides to stay with Minerva and him for a while and Minerva’s not at all happy about it. Takes place about 10 years after Grindlewald.


~Chapter 1- Mother Dearest~

Albus and Minerva Dumbledore were simply relaxing in their living room at their private estate in Edinburgh. It was summertime, which meant almost 3 months of absolute relaxation for Albus and Minerva. At least, that’s what they thought.

They were having a little snog session on the couch when someone burst in the door. Alarmed, Minerva and Albus quickly separated and pulled out their wands only to see a short, elderly woman with white hair and hazel eyes looking absolutely startled.

“Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore! What on Earth are you doing?” asked Mrs. Dumbledore with a hand on her chest.

“Forgive me mother. It’s a habit.” Said Albus as he went over and kissed his mother’s cheek.

“Alvina, I thought you and Adelbert were in Portugal for summer holiday.” Said Minerva as she greeted her mother-in-law.

“Yes well we had a terrible argument. It all started when we were at a lovely little restaurant. We had just ordered our food and I was complimenting on the lovely decorations on the wall. He seemed to be very interested in something and when I turned to see what he was looking at, the only thing there was a very attractive waitress. When I asked him if he thought she was attractive, he denied it and accused me of being jealous! Can you believe the nerve of him? Anyway, one thing lead to another and I decided it would be best if I just spent the holiday with my beloved son and daughter in-law. That is all right, isn’t it dear? ” Alvina walked in the middle of Minerva and Albus and pinched one of Albus’s cheeks as she spoke the last sentence.

Albus pulled away and looked at his wife to see her reaction. By the looks of Minerva’s wide eyes and the fact she was mouthing the word No and shaking her head, Albus concluded that Minerva didn’t approve of the situation. He was about to tell his mother that it wouldn’t work out when he saw the way Alvina was looking at him with hope shining in her eyes accompanied with a sweet smile. He sighed. He hated moments like these. When he was in the middle between his mother and his wife. He braced himself and carefully gave his answer.

“Of course mother. You may stay as long as you like.” With that, he picked up Alvina’s trunk and escorted her up to her room to help her get settled, trying as best as he could to ignore Minerva’s glare piercing his back.

When Albus came back down to talk with his wife, he found that she was no longer in the living room. He searched around the house until her found her in the kitchen. He assumed that she was making lemonade until he saw her pour a very generous amount of vodka into the mix. It was then that he realized that she wasn’t making lemonade, but a margarita. He wondered how he was going to approach her when she solved the problem for him

“Hello Albus.” She said grimly.

“Hello dear. Can I help you with anything?” he asked nervously.

“ That’s quite alright. I’m perfectly capable of doing this myself.”

“Minerva, I know your upset about this but what was I suppose to say?”

“Anything! We’re busy. There’s no room. Hell, you could have told her that we had dragon pox and were in quarantine!” Minerva’s infamous Scottish temper was rising fast so Albus knew he had to act fast if he was to stand a chance against her.

“Minerva, please. I know she’s difficult and can be critical of you but she’s my mother. It would mean so much to me if you would let her stay just a few days. I promise. I’ll talk to my father and have them patch this whole thing up.” His twinkling blue eyes were practically begging her.

Minerva sighed. “Oh alright.” She leaned up and kissed her husband deeply while in her mind she prayed to Zeus and Hera for the strength to deal with Alvina.

Wonderful, but the more anoying term is "Mummy, dearest..." in some high-pitched falsetto voice. Brilliant, amazing aerodynamic, un-pyromaniacal. Great start; you'd better keep going. Keep on posting, even if it is during French class.

~Chapter 2- Reinforcements~

AN: I let Albus have a little sister who’s way younger than he is. Right now Albus is about 110, Aberforth is 103, Minerva is 30, and Albus’s sister Alyssa is 57. Remember, this is wizard time so Aberforth and Albus are middle aged.


It was dinnertime and Albus had taken Alvina out into the gardens to “show her the cherry blossoms” Really it was to give Minerva some quiet while she made dinner. She was cooking her specialty- haggis and red potatoes since Alvina wasn’t too critical about that dish. She was boiling the potatoes when she the kitchen door behind her open. She braced herself for the worst but was quite pleased when she saw none other but Aberforth and Albus’s sister Alyssa walk in.

“Oh you poor soul!” said Alyssa dramatically as she hugged Minerva.

“Don’t worry Minerva dear. We’ve got all the supplies you need.” Aberforth waved his wand and 3 gigantic buckets of firewhiskey appeared. “It’s the strongest brew I have. I was saving it for a special occasion but I figured your needs were greater than mine.”

“Merlin bless you Aberforth.” Said Minerva as she hugged her brother in-law.

“Don’t worry, darling. We know what you’re going through. Though I’ll have to admit, you have it far worse than we do.” Said Alyssa sympathetically as she poured the 3 of them gigantic goblets of firewhiskey.

“That’s what you get for marrying the favorite. I told you you’d be better off with me.” Grinned Aberforth.

“That’s ridiculous! Alvina loves all of you equally.” Said Minerva

Aberforth burst out laughing while Alyssa chocked on the firewhiskey she had just sipped.

“Minerva, Albus defeated the darkest wizard the world has ever seen. I own a bar and am obsessed with goats. Alyssa is a dancer who has been married 5 times. With no grandchildren, might I add. Do you really think she loves us all equally?” asked Aberforth with an eyebrow raised.

Minerva thought for a moment. “You’re probably right.” She took a long gulp of firewhiskey.

Aberforth and Alyssa nodded.

“It doesn’t bother you that Alvina loves Albus more?”

“Nope!” said Aberforth and Alyssa at the same time.

The back door opened.

“Speak of the devil.” Muttered Minerva

“Aberforth! Alyssa! How wonderful to see you dears! This was a bit, erm, unexpected.” Said Alvina as she did a poor job of hiding her displeasure at the fact that her 2 other children were interfering her time with Albus.

“Hello mother!” said Aberforth and Alyssa cheerfully.

“Alyssa! Aberforth! How are you? So have you gotten married yet, Alyssa?” said Albus happily as he hugged his brother and sister.

“Haha. That’s cute Albus. As if I don’t get enough of that from that annoying little journalist, what’s her name- Rita Skeeter.”

“Oh yes, Marga-Rita! She’s a regular at Hogshead. Poor woman can’t hold her liquor though.” Chuckled Aberforth.

Alvina cleared her throat. “Hem Hem.” Minerva cringed at the sound. She always hated when Alvina did that. It was highly irritating.

“As much as I’m enjoying this little reunion. I believe its time to get dinner on the table.”

Everyone agreed. They all spread out among the kitchen to help set the table. Just as Albus reached for the plates, Alvina stopped him.

“Oh no. Not you dear. You go sit down and relax. After all, my greatest wizard the world has ever seen needs his strength.”

“Oh no mother, I couldn’t.”

“I said sit down.” Said Alvina firmly.

“Well if you insist.” Said Albus as he walked out the door into the living room.

Alyssa and Aberforth were just about to leave the door as well when Alvina’s sharp voice stopped them.

“Just where do you think you two are going?”

“We were going to go keep Albus company. You said we needed our strength.” Said Aberforth.

“No, I said my greatest wizard in the world needs his rest. Oh I’m sorry. Did you defeat the darkest wizard the world has ever seen?”

“No but I believe I danced for a few of them. They left very generous tips.” Said Alyssa thoughtfully.

Aberforth burst out laughing while Minerva fought the urge to laugh. Alvina however was not at all amused.

“Alyssa that’s one. One more smart remark out of you and you’re grounded. Now both of you help set the table now!”

“Yes mother.” Aberforth and Alyssa muttered.

“ Told you so.” Whispered Aberforth and Alyssa as they walked by Minerva to get the plates and glasses.

As they each began to prepare dinner, Alvina approached Minerva. Aberforth noticed this and nudged Alyssa who spilled the firewhiskey she was pouring and (secretly) drinking. She glared at Aberforth but then forgot about it when she saw her mother approach Minerva.

“So, Minerva dear. When are you due?” Alvina asked casually as she scooped potatoes into a bowl.

“Sorry? I don’t quite understand.” Asked Minerva

“You know. When’s my little grandbaby going to arrive?”

Minerva dropped the spoon full of haggis in shock. “Excuse me!”

Aberforth and Alyssa gaped and exchanged shocked faces.

“Not to worry dear. I knew it right from the moment I saw you. You know, it may possibly be twins. What with all the weight you’re gaining.”

Anyone could tell that Minerva was losing control fast. Her fists were in curled into fists and she had her eyes closed and was breathing deeply in an attempt to calm down.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you Alvina but I am not pregnant. You aren’t going to be a grandmother anytime soon. Especially if this keeps up.” She muttered the last part.

Alvina sighed. “Oh dear, what a pity. So you’re putting on all that weight for nothing.”

It was a good thing Alvina chose that moment to pick up the bowl of potatoes and go out into the dining room. If it weren’t for Alyssa and Aberforth, then Minerva would be sent to Azkaban for murdering Alvina Dumbledore. The 2 reinforcements were struggling to hold Minerva back from beating the hell out of Alvina and quite possibly, Albus.

[Hogwarts Duo]

Good Lord...what a nasty piece of work! Alvina needs to be "spoken to" and if I were Albus, I'd do it rather quickly before my wife took it upon herself to do it for me.

I was so happy to see an update to this story and I am praying you'll update again soon!

[childminerva]

oh my goodness...what a, well do I have to spell it out for you?
You write Alvina so believably, I'm impressed. A great second chapter here, I liked the interaction with Aberforth and Alyssa.
One thing, reading 2 instead of two when talking about Albus's siblings is a bit distracting...could you change that?

Great chapter, I can't wait to read more!

[JKMcGonagall]

Heh, Heh, Heh. Alvina reminds me of Darren's mother, Mrs. Stevens, on the old TV show, Bewitched. I can just hear her voice whenever Alvina says something. Poor Minerva!

Kay

[osusprinks]

That was so awesome! I seriously think you are channeling my boyfriend's mom (though the pregnancy bit sounds like my own mother, may she rest in peace, when I finally strangle her...lol)! Alvina is so believable. I love the interaction with the siblings. Can't wait to see what is next!

[mmadlyinlove]

Duuuude.... I would be pissed if I were married and my mother in law asked me that... I would have to be held back, too... I'd be like "Why, I oughta.... YOu..." *friends cover mouth quickly and struggle to hold me back while I attempt to kick her potato holding retreating form* LOL! Great job! ~mmadlyinlove~

[Isabelle]

I really think is hilarious so far. Alvina's character is very believeable. My grandma is kind of like that with my stepdad.

And poor Minerva. I'd have given Alvina the old boot in the butt if she'd flat out told me I was gaining weight unnecessarily. I wouldn't care if she was my husband's mother or not.

I have one question: was Alvina being serious when she told Alissa she was grounded? Does she still live with her parents? I find it somewhat hard to believe that she could be grounded at 57, especially since the woman was married five times before!

Anyhow, this story has made me smile more than anything. I am interested to see the next part. Will it endow the dreaded, tense supper conversation or maybe a food fight, however immature that may be?

[crystalpheonixeyes]

Hahahahaha. O wow. I don't think Alvina knows who she is dealing with. I can't wait untill this is updated! This is made me smile and get a smack across the face from my friend because I was ignoring him.

[furandfeathers]

ooh this is really good! Alvina is...horrible! I hope Albus stops being wishy washy and makes everything all right again.

[kissofdeath]

No, Alyssa doesn't still live with her parents. I just put that bit in there to show how Alvina still thinks she's in control of her children's lives. I'm so glad you guys like it!

~Chapter 3- The Hottest woman alive~


After a long and difficult dinner and dessert, it was time to say goodnight to Alyssa and Aberforth. As Minerva and Albus lay in bed, Albus sensed something was wrong. Something besides his mother, of course.

“Is everything alright my dear?” He asked worriedly

Minerva sighed. “Albus have I gained weight?”

Albus gaped. “What?”

Minerva told him about what happened in the kitchen while he was “saving his strength.”

Albus chuckled heartily.

“It’s not funny Albus! The way she said it, you’d think I was hideously obese and- !”

Albus silenced her with a passionate kiss. “My dear, you are as beautiful as the day we met. If not more. You have nothing –kiss- to worry –kiss- about.”

“Oh really? You know this would mean a lot more if you didn’t think your mother’s opinion was so important.” Said Minerva as she tried to ignore the Albus’s tongue on her neck.

Albus stopped devouring his wife’s neck “What’s that suppose to mean?”

Minerva turned and glared at him. “Albus, the woman still buys your underwear.”

“Minerva, first of all, my mother hasn’t bought me underwear in over a year. 2nd of all, I don’t care what my mother thinks of you. I love you and will continue to love you no matter what. Scars, Wrinkles, anything really, will not change the way I feel about you. It wasn’t your body that I fell in love with, Tabby. It was your heart, your witty and brilliant mind, and your sharp as a knife tongue. That’s what I fell in love with and will always love.”

Minerva paused for a moment before speaking. “So you think I’m still attractive?”

“Absolutely.”

Minerva smiled mischievously. “Well, you’re just going to have to prove it to me.” With that, Minerva toppled Albus as he began to prove to her that she was indeed very pretty.

[kissofdeath]

~Chapter 4- Good Morning, Mother~

The Next Morning was a happy one for Minerva and Albus. They had a very pleasurable night, which they decided to relive in the shower together. They were right in the middle of it when Alvina chose to walk in.

“AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” screamed Minerva

“Mother, would it be so difficult for you to knock?” asked Albus as he and Minerva separated.

Alvina glanced away from the mirror she was looking at to Minerva and Albus. “Don’t worry. There’s nothing I haven’t seen before.” She said calmly.

“Alvina, there’s 2 other bathrooms in this house. Is there any reason why you needed to use our private one?” asked Minerva crossly as she took a towel and stepped out with Albus.

“Well Minerva dear, I just wanted to say good morning to my handsome son.” She explained as she went over and kissed and pinched Albus’s cheeks for a while. Then she went back to opening drawers.

Minerva glared suspiciously at what the elderly witch was doing. “Can I help you with something, Alvina?”

Alvina stopped opening drawers and turned to Minerva smiling. “Of course not dear. Now why don’t we have some breakfast? I made your favorite lemon waffles, Albus.”

Albus grinned happily. “ It sounds delicious, Mother. We’ll be right down.”

“Alright then, see you in a bit.” Smiled Alvina as she went downstairs.

“Well, that was awkward.” Said Albus

Minerva raised her eyebrows. “Is it, Albus? I would have thought that this was something you would have been accustomed to.” She began to open the drawers just as Alvina had done earlier.

“What are you doing, love?”

“Looking to see what she took.”

“Minerva, don’t be silly. My mother would never take anything from us!”

“She would and she did. She took all our contraceptive potions.”

“Oh.”

“Mmhmm. I’ll tell you one thing, she really does want grandchildren.”

“Yes. But I can’t understand why she doesn’t do this sort of thing to Alyssa or Aberforth.”

“Albus, I’m quite sure she doesn’t want a baby goat for a grandchild. She was furious enough at the very idea.”

Albus shuddered at the memory. Alvina was outraged when Aberforth was arrested for his charms on the goat and nearly killed him.

“Albus? Minerva? What’s taking so long?” Alvina’s voice called out from downstairs.

Albus and Minerva changed into robes and headed downstairs.

[Hogwarts Duo]

Oh dear...poor Minerva and Albus too for that matter. I think it's time Minerva started fighting back and the first words out of her mouth should be "goodbye" to her dear mother in law.

Yet another brilliant update. I love this story and it always makes me smile! Thank you!
