Chapter 9 ~Devising A Plan~
Albus walked along the streets of Diagon Alley. It was early morning and hours before any of the shops would be open. He had nothing else to do so he decided to pay Alyssa a visit since her condo was nearby and he really needed someone to talk to. Someone who didn't ask their goat's opinion. He hoped that Alyssa hadn't seen the prophet yet. That way he might have a slight chance of explaining himself. He knocked on the black door a while. Getting more impatient as the seconds drifted by. He knocked harder on the door until Alyssa opened it just enough so he could see her head. "What the bloody hell- oh Albus! What're you doing here this early?" asked Alyssa a little breathless. "Minerva and I had a fight. Can I stay here for a few days?" Alyssa looked at her right side a little uncomfortably. " I dunno, Albus. This isn't really a good time." "Please?" begged Albus desperately, pulling the puppy look. Alyssa sighed and rolled her eyes. "Oh alright. You can stay here for a few days." "Thank you!" said Albus gratefully. Alyssa opened the door fully to let Albus in. "Antonio darling, we have company! My brother Albus is here." A man's voice with a thick spanish accent called out from the bedroom. "The crazy one who has affairs with his goats?" Alyssa laughed. "No dear. You're thinking of Aberforth." A handsome Spanish man around his early 60's (remember wizarding time) came out of the bedroom. "Oh good. I don't think I can handle one more of his margaritas. Buenos Dias senor! My name is Antonio Banderas. It is an honor to meet you." Antonio offered his hand. Albus shook Antonio's hand. "Hello, I'm Albus. Nice to meet you to, Antonio." "Si, si. I really wish I could stay and chat with you but I have to run down to the Tropicana Club and make some arrangements for tonight's show." Antonio kissed Alyssa good bye and walked through the fireplace. "So, is Antonio lucky number 6?" asked Albus teasingly. Alyssa rolled her eyes. "Why is it that everytime I go out with someone, suddenly I'm engaged to them?" "That's your thing. Alyssa. Marriage. Its what you're known for. Just like how Aberforth's known for his goats." "Oh, just like how your known as a mummy's boy who can't even buy his own underwear?" asked Alyssa harshly, but honestly. Albus's face sank a little. "Yes I suppose." "It's alright, Albus. Let me go get some vodka and you can tell me exactly how you screwed up." Alyssa patted Albus on the shoulder and walked into the kitchen while Albus sat down on a chair. Suddenly, the fireplace glowed green and an angry Aberforth stormed out and punched Albus right on the nose, just as Alyssa stepped out of the kitchen with 2 glasses and a bottle of vodka. "Aberforth what is the matter with you? Have you been sniffing goat medicine again?" "No. Did this ass tell you what happened between him and Minerva?" demanded Aberforth. "No, we were actually about to discuss that." "Well look at this." Aberforth handed Alyssa the daily prophet. Alyssa gasped when she saw the paper and slapped Albus on his face. "Ouch! Alyssa, if you're going to slap me on the face could you at least slap me with the hand without all the rings." said Albus painfully as he rubbed his stinging cheek. "Oh, I'm sorry." Alyssa slapped Albus across the face with her other hand. "Is that better?" "Ouch! I probably deserve that though." "Damn straight you deserve that! You cheating scum!" yelled Aberforth "How could you do this to Minerva? After all she's done for you!" scolded Alyssa "I know, I know. I feel terrible. But I swear, Mother set me up. She told Sylvia that I was interested in her so she came onto me." Alyssa and Aberforth glanced at each other, as if to decide if Albus was being honest or not. "I can see mum doing that." said Aberforth. " Can you see Mother ruining a marriage, because that's what she did. She ruined my marriage!" "Albus,you and Minerva need to talk about this." suggested Alyssa. "We did. This was the outcome of our talk." Albus pulled out Minerva's engagement ring and wedding ring. Alyssa and Aberforth gasped. They expected Minerva and Albus to have an argument over this mess, but they didn't expect them to call it quits. "Well, you know the solution don't you?" asked Aberforth "You have to find a way to get Minerva to forgive you and fall in love with you all over again. Albus nodded. "I have a perfect idea. But I'm going to need your help."

First of all, Antonio was a very good choice. That man... *shivers up spine, the good kind*
I hope he can fix this, but I can't imagine it will be easy. I hope they do something about his mother too. I wonder what Aberforth and Alyssa will do. Nice job!

You know, I'm starting to think this should be in the Angst section! It definitely sets my blood boiling ... but then, compared to my mum ...
I really liked the way you didn't have them make up straight away, I think it's better this way. And I love Albus' siblings ... -P:)
Great story!

The only objection I have is Antonio's name should have been Hector *snort* Why is it that Spanish/Purto Rican/Latin guys are so damn sexy? Great job

Chapter 10 ~ Happily Ever After~
Four tall figures were walking among Albus’ neighborhood in the middle of the night. They were all walking swiftly through the gardens. One of them was carrying a guitar on his back.
“Alright, this is her window. I’m positive this time.” Said Alyssa as she handed Albus a small pebble.
“Yeah, yeah. That’s what you said last time. Then Old Mr. McMahon threw those stinging hexes at us.” Winced Aberforth as he rubbed his knee.
“ And the stinging hexes had nothing to do with the fact you started telling his wife how sexy she looked in her night gown?” bit back Alyssa.
“No, it did not! I was being polite!”
“ Aberforth, telling a 150 year old woman she looks sexy in a dressing gown isn’t polite. It’s perverted! Especially when your eyes aren’t making contact with her’s and are slightly lower.”
“Are you suggesting that my eyes were looking at that old woman’s breasts?”
“ Well you were!”
The two siblings began to bicker more.
Antonio leaned towards Albus. “Alyssa’s got a bit of a temper hasn’t she?”
“Compadre, take my advice. Don’t get Alyssa angry.” Advised Albus.
Antonia nodded silently as he watched in admiration of his girlfriend’s fiery temper.
Albus sighed. “Would you two please get a grip and quiet down?”
Alyssa and Aberforth instantly shut their mouths.
“Now, can you two behave long enough so we can move on?” he asked patiently
“Yes Albus” Albus and Alyssa mumbled.
“Alright, let’s get started.”
Antonio began to set up his guitar while Alyssa gave Albus a voice enhancement potion. Albus quickly drank the potion, wincing at the taste. He threw the pebble at Minerva’s window.
Minerva opened the window. She had a confused expression on her face. Her eyes were red, probably from crying. Once she saw Albus out the window, she instantly glared and was about to say something but she stopped when she heard a guitar playing. Then she heard Albus begin to sing.
You’re my sunshine after the rain
You’re the cure against my fear and my pain
‘Cause I’m losing my mind
When you’re not around
It’s all... it’s all...
It’s all because of you
You’re my sunshine
Darling I really know by now
Since we met that day
You showed me the way
I felt it then you gave me love
I can’t describe
How much I feel for you
I said darling I should have known by now
Should have been right there
Whenever you needed love
And if only you were here
I’d tell you, yes I’d tell you
You’re my sunshine after the rain
You’re the cure against my fear and my pain
‘Cause I’m losing my mind
When you’re not around
It’s all... it’s all...
It’s all because of you
Honestly, could it be you and me
Like it was before
Neither less or more
'Cause when I close my eyes
At night I realize that no one else
Could ever take your place
I still can feel and it’s so unreal
When you’re touching me Kisses endlessly
It’s just a place in the sun
Where our love’s begun
I miss you... yes I miss you
If I knew how to tell you
What’s on my mind
Make you understand
Then I’d always be there
Right by your side
By the time Albus finished singing the song he had written, Minerva was slightly smiling and had tears in her eyes.
“Minerva, I love you so much. I’ve only spent one day away from you and I’m already losing my mind. You know, I’ve always been told that when you find that one special person you should keep them, love them, cherish them, and never let them go. I realize that I was foolish and only did half of those things required, but I’m begging you Minerva. Please take me back.” Begged Albus.
In response, Minerva walked away from the window and closed it. Albus let his head drop in sadness and was about to walk away when her heard the back door open. He turned around and saw Minerva running towards him. He opened his arms wide and felt an intense feeling of joy. As they kissed, Albus slipped the rings back on Minerva’s finger.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Antonio sat down wearily on the couch when he and Alyssa got home. Alyssa collapsed right beside him and rested her head on his lap. Antonio leaned down and gave her a kiss.
“I’m glad it all worked out for Albus and Minerva. They truly do belong together.” Alyssa sighed
Antonio looked into Alyssa’s blue eyes and stroked her auburn hair. “ They’re not the only ones who belong together.”
Alyssa sat up and looked at Antonio. “What are you saying, Antonio?”
“I’m saying that I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you.” Antonio picked up his guitar and began to play and sing a song he had recently written.
I hope the man upstairs isn't mad at me Because I have one of his angels And she's here with me When I see her precious smile And she spreads her wings It takes me to a place where love Meets eternity
Oh no I'm not letting go I don't want to be alone In this crazy world Oh Lord How I love her so And I'll sacrifice it all to have her In my life
I found my girl I'll tell the world That haven is missing an angel My dreams came true When I found you Yes heaven is missing an angel
Not a day goes by That I don't thank God for you He blessed me with my angel Though I don't deserve you Until I found you girl Lonely was my best friend Now that you are in my life I am stronger within
I can't wait to kiss my angel Late at night And watch her go to sleep Until I see her rise
All that I do is for you Me without you girl just won't do Oh no Your love's all I want to know Angel don't you ever go Life won't be the same without you
“Will you marry me, Alyssa?” He conjured up a velvet box that contained an engagement ring with a large diamond in the center of 2 sapphires.
Alyssa stared at him for a while and started to laugh in happiness. She then kissed him deeply.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aberforth looked interestedly at the woman sitting in front of him drinking a firewhiskey as he wiped the bar counter. She was a very attractive woman. She had long blonde hair and big blue eyes. He recognized her a minute later.
“Excuse me ma’am, but aren’t you Sylvia Kelly? Albus Dumbledore’s supposed girlfriend?”
Sylvia sighed. “ You saw that daily prophet article?”
Aberforth smiled. “That and I am your supposed boyfriend’s brother.”
“You’re Aberforth?” said Sylvia surprised
“ Yes. Why? Am I such a disappointment?”
Sylvia looked at him oddly. “Not at all. Why would you get that idea?”
Aberforth sighed. “Well, once your older brother defeats the darkest wizard in the world, people expects you to be as great as they are. People are often disappointed when they find out you own a bar and are obsessed with goats.”
Sylvia leaned across the counter and looked closely into Aberforth’s eyes. “I’m not at all disappointed in who you are Aberforth. And I think all those people who were disappointed are fools. You should be allowed to be your own person and not have to live in someone else’s shadow.”
Aberforth was blown away by Sylvia’s words and by the person she was. He leaned closer and kissed her gently. She returned the kiss and they both began snogging. They stopped only to catch their breath.
“I’m a goat fan too.” asked Sylvia as she rested her forehead against Aberforth’s forehead.
“You are?” Aberforth gasped.
“Oh yes. My parents had a huge farm. The goats were my favorite animals there. In fact, I was named after a goat in a play.”
Aberforth stared at Sylvia in amazement. Before kissing her again. “ I have my own little goat farm in the back of the bar. Would you care to see them?”
Sylvia’s smile lit up even more. “I’d love too.”
Aberforth took Sylvia’s hand in his, kissed it, and lead her out to see his goats.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alvina stared out into the ocean. After all that happened in the past 24 hrs, she decided she needed a break. So here she was now, sitting on a rock, starring at the ocean. She felt someone’s presence behind her and turned around cautiously. She glared when she saw an old man with a long gray beard and blue eyes.
“Hello Adelbert.” Said Alvina through gritted teeth.
“ I though I’d find you here.” Said Adelbert as he sat down next to his wife and put his hand on her shoulder.
“What do you want Adelbert?” she shrugged off his hand.
“ I heard about what happened between you and Albus.”
“ So you came here to gloat about me never being able to speak to my son again?”
“No, I came here to apologize for my behavior in Portugal. Darling, I was staring at the waitress because she sneezed on our drinks! I was about to tell you what she did when you got mad at me. I’m afraid I lost my temper with you when you said that. I’m sorry Alvina. It’s just that, I was so hurt that after 115 years of marriage you’d still think I wasn’t completely in love with you.”
“Oh Adelbert!” cried Alvina as she threw her arms around him and kissed him. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Said Adelbert as he kissed her forehead.
“Oh, Adelbert. I completely ruined everything with Albus.” She sobbed into his arms.
“ Not exactly. See, I had a little chat with Albus earlier and he and Minerva have agreed to forgive if you apologize.”
Alvina’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Really.”
Alvina stood up quickly and dragged Adelbert with her. “Then what are we waiting for?”

Alright, this is it folks. The final chapter to Mummy's Boy. it's been a blast writing this fic. Thank you all who have ever reviewed. Your reviews have been appreciated and have helped encourage me. I hope you all enjoy the ending!
~Epilogue~
5 years later……….
Alyssa, Antonio, Aberforth, Albus, and Minerva were all laughing and talking happily in Aberforth’s backyard when Sylvia stormed in.
“Aberforth, your mother is driving me crazy!” she sighed as she struggled to sit down.
“Well darling what do you expect? You are carrying the newest additions to the Dumbledore family.” Said Aberforth as he kissed his wife and placed a hand on her round stomach.
“It’s alright, Sylvia. I understand what you’re going through completely.” Said Minerva comfortingly.
“I’m surprised you haven’t gotten used to it yet. This is what, your 5th kid?” asked Alyssa.
“Alyssa, you try getting flooed 16 times a day. Especially when you’re in –erm- compromising position.” Said Sylvia as she raised her eyebrows suggestively and Aberforth chuckled.
“Oh that’s a lovely image. My brother getting laid. Thanks Sylvia.”
“ So why haven’t you and Antonio started having kids yet?” asked Minerva curiously.
“ Who said we haven’t started?” asked Antonio proudly as he put his arm around Alyssa who rolled her eyes.
“What do you mean- wait are you telling us that?” began Sylvia
“ Si! Si! I’m going to be a Papi!” Antonio burst out excitedly
“ Oh congratulations! Alyssa, why didn’t you say anything? Aren’t you excited?” asked Sylvia.
“ Of having a baby, thrilled. Of dealing with Mum for 7 months, I could definitely live without that.”
“ So what, you’re just going to keep it from her for 7 months, and suddenly come to her house for a cup of tea with a baby in your arms?” asked Aberforth
The 3 women looked as though they were considering this option.
“ I hadn’t thought of that option, but now that you mentioned it, it sounds like a really good idea.” Replied Alyssa.
“ Yeah, I don’t see why Sylvia and I couldn’t have done that.” Said Minerva.
The couples chatted a little more about various things until they were interrupted by none other than Alvina.
“ Sylvia dear, I just got back from Diagon Alley and picked up some special prenatal tonic for you.” She handed Sylvia a vile looking potion that was thick and gray.
“ That’s sweet of you Alvina, but Healer Quimby’s already gotten me started on a prenatal potion.”
“Oh that rubbish isn’t going to do anything. It’s just pumpkin juice in a bottle. This is where all the nutrients are. Now drink up. That’s my grandchild in there and its got to be nice and healthy.”
Seeing no other option, Sylvia hesitantly took the potion and swallowed it with much difficulty.
“ I hope you got two of those mum, ‘cause your going to need an extra one for Alyssa.” Said Aberforth laughing at the sight of his sister’s shocked expression.
“ Don’t be silly Aberforth. Why would she need- wait, are you telling me?” Alvina let out a high-pitched shriek of laughter, which made everyone cringe.
“ Oh Merlin! And her I though you were a lost cause! Oh my, 11 grandchildren! Hester will be shaking with envy! Come my dear, you have to be there when I tell her. Let’s go! Come on Antonio dear.” She grabbed Alyssa’s hand and pulled her away from the group.
“I will get you for this!” Alyssa hissed at Aberforth as her mother whisked her away.
Antonio obediently followed his wife and mother in-law. “ Adios! We’ll see you later. I hope.”
The two remaining couples burst out laughing.
“Alyssa’s going to get you for that.” Warned Albus.
“ I know. But it was completely worth it.”
“ Sure you say that now. It’s a good thing this is your 5th child. By the time Alyssa’s done getting her revenge you might not be able to have any more.”
The couples laughed and talked some more until Minerva and Albus decided it was getting late and it was time to go home and put the kids to bed. ~Later that night~
Albus walked into his bedroom and plopped down onto the bed next to Minerva, who was deep in thought.
“Alright, Catriona, Thadeus, and Ares are all in bed and drifting off to dreamland.”
“That’s a relief. Looks like they were worn out from playing with their cousins.” Minerva cuddled up in Albus’s arms.
“ What are you thinking about dear?” Albus asked his wife curiously.
“Just our family and our life. It’s so amazing how our family can be so crazy and yet so perfect at the same time.”
“ Yes, the family is quite insane aren’t they?”
“ Very. But I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. I love you Albus.”
“I love you too, Minerva.” Albus kissed his wife deeply and began to show her just how much he loved her.
The End!
