My True Love

[ginny]

This is my very first fic, unless you count the ones that I started but never finished, so it may not be the best. Its of course about AD/MM but theres just a tiny bit of Ron/Hermione thrown in there. But thats not until later.

CHAPTER ONE

It was a gray, cloudy September day and an intelligent woman was sitting at her office desk, awaiting her boyfriend to come and visit her at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The woman had dark hair that was twisted in a tight bun, like always. Her eyes were a color that no one could describe. If you looked into them, they would say a thousand words.
A knock came at the wooden door. The woman finally got up from her desk and swung the door open, not in excitement, but in anger.
“Minerva, my love,” the man said, as he kissed Minerva on the cheek, “It has been too long. I feel as though I have been separated from you for ages. I have missed you.”
The man was quite tall. He had beautiful blue eyes and lovely brown hair. His body was muscular; he did not have much flab. He was, as some might say, the perfect looking man.
“Missed me, have you?” Minerva responded calmly, but with a bit of anger. “No letters for a month. None. And you say you have missed me. Peter, I don’t even know where you’ve been, or what you have been doing. The only letter I have received from you was the one you sent a week ago, saying that you would be here shortly.” Minerva raged.
“I’m terribly sorry, my dear, but things at the ministry are hectic right now, with You-Know-Who being back and all.” Peter responded, with a bit of tremble in his voice. “I’ve haven’t got much time to do anything anymore. I am even lucky to take today off to come visit you. It’s all work, night and day.”
“So you can’t even take the time to write at night when you come home?” asked Minerva, with much anger this time.
“I apologize deeply Minerva. I should’ve taken the time to at least write to you at night. I mean, you sent me all those letters, and I haven’t responded to any one of them. I’m so sorry. I promise, even if things are crazy, I’ll still write to you. I don’t want to lose you Minerva, because I love you.” said Peter carefully.
“I love you too, Peter, but if this is going to work, you have to take more responsibility. You promise?” asked Minerva.
“Promise. And if I don’t stay true to my word, you can just kick me out the door,” said Peter.
“Okay,” said Minerva as she kissed Peter on the cheek, “I love you. Are you going to stay tonight, or are you going to have to get back to the ministry?”
“I will stay tonight. You are more important than my job at the ministry. So shall we head out to dinner?” asked Peter.
“Yes, I would love that,” answered Minerva, and the couple walked out of the office and into Hogsmeade.

*************

An extremely gifted wizard was pacing his office. He wasn’t that tall, and wasn’t that short. He had a long, white beard and blue eyes that were very full of meaning. His eyes usually had a twinkle in them, but as soon as he got disappointed, there would be no twinkle there, but still lots of thought. He was pondering the very same question he had pondered for the last three hours, and wondered if he should still be thinking about it. His large brain was starting to hurt and he was starting to develop a headache.
He walked over to his pensive. He drew his wand from his robes and put it up to the side of his forehead. A long, silvery substance was drawn from his mind. His thoughts slowly fell into the pensive, which was now swirling with thoughts.
Suddenly the door of his office burst open. A woman came running through it, looking very excited and worried.
“Oh, Albus! I have not seen you in ages! I’m so sorry I’m late. I was-er- old Alvin kept me late at the office. I know you were expecting me hours ago, but….oh, I’m really sorry!” exclaimed the woman.
“Stacey, dear, no need for apologizes. What’s important is that you’re here now. The only thing I am worried about is why the birds you are sending are tropical. You tell me that you’re at the office and at home all the time, but you are no where near anywhere tropical. Where have you been?” questioned Albus Dumbledore.
“Oh, d-did I not tell you? I was on a business trip to the islands for a few weeks in March. That’s why there I was sending those-erm-lovely birds,” said Stacey quickly.
“I am afraid you did not inform me. But no matter! You’re here now! Where would you like to go? Out for a drink? Dinner? Just a stroll around Hogsmeade?” asked Dumbledore.
“Oh, Three Broomsticks sounds nice now. Then maybe after we can just take a little look in the shops,” answered Stacey politely.
“Well off we go!” said Dumbledore, and before you know it, Dumbledore and Stacey were out the door and on their way to Three Broomsticks.



More to come….later….

OK, I know its not that great, but I promise it'll get more interesting later...I hope...hehe.

Yeah, If anyone could like say anything that would make it better or anyting, that would be greatly appriceated (urgh, I cant spell).

more to come later

[Aurinko]

I think it's great that you posted. I'm impressed--took me a lot longer to make the jump. Anyways, I found your descriptions of everyone interesting and unique. The dialogue was fun too, although I really look forward to seeing Minerva get really mad. I got a good idea of what Minerva & Peter (that rat)'s relationship is like, but would like to hear more about this Stacey woman (and have AD/MM get together, but I'll wait...patiently).

[QuillofMinerva]

Well done for taking the plunge and posting this story. It is always great to see new people on the board and it's great to see them posting their work.

Keep going....great start!

New chapter!
Oh, and peter is not peter pettigrew. I just thought of a name and yeah.

CHAPTER 2

Dumbledore and Stacey walked happily into Hogsmeade and headed straight towards Three Broomsticks. They stopped occasionally as Stacey greeted some of her friends from the office. Apparently, word had gotten around to all of Stacey’s friends that she was dating Albus Dumbledore, and they were all extremely excited when they got to meet him. They had already been walking for quite some time, because they took a detour where Dumbledore wanted to show Stacey around certain parts of Hogwarts.
Stacey had never been to Hogwarts, seeing as she grew up in France and went to Beauxbatons Academy to study magic, and later moved to London so she could get a job at the Ministry of Magic. She loved London, but she always talked about how she wished she could go back to France and visit Beauxbatons Academy again.
As Stacey and Dumbledore were walking down the road, Dumbledore had spotted one of his very old friends and colleges. Her name was Minerva McGonagall.
“Minerva!” called Dumbledore.
“Oh, hello Albus!” Minerva said with a smile. “Is this the Stacey girl that you’ve been talking about? Hello, I’m Minerva McGonagall,” she said as she shook Stacey’s hand.
“And this must be Peter. Hello, my name is Albus Dumbledore. Pleasure to meet you.” Dumbledore said as he shook Peter’s hand.
“Where are you two headed off to?” asked Minerva.
It was not Dumbledore that spoke this time, but Stacey. “We were just off to Three Broomsticks to get a drink, and then maybe have a look around the shops if we have time,” answered Stacey, “Where are you off to?”
“Oh, we were just going to get some dinner at that lovely new restaurant that’s opened.” answered Peter.
“Well, we best be off then. Very nice seeing you Albus, and nice meeting you, Stacey. See you later, I hope.” Minerva said, and they walked off into the distance.

Dumbledore and Stacey continued off into Three Broomsticks. They ordered a butterbeer each and went into much conversation.
“So how do you know that Minerva girl anyways?” asked Stacey, with a bit of a frown on her face.
“Oh, she works at Hogwarts. She’s the Transfiguration teacher, and a good one too. I have had the pleasure to work with her for almost forty years now, and I also knew her before that. I used to teach her.” answered Dumbledore.
“Oh…,” said Stacey. “Do you like her much?” questioned Stacey.
“Oh, yes, she is very nice. She may seem a bit stern at first, but when you get to know Minerva, she is extremely funny, and intelligent too.” Answered Dumbledore.
“She didn’t seem to keen on the fact that we were dating. I didn’t like her much. She didn’t seem to like me either.” said Stacey.
“Oh, don’t be silly, I’m sure she liked you. And I don’t think there much of a reason for you to dislike her. I always thought she was charming and kind.” said Dumbledore.
“Oh, you did, did you? So why don’t you go run off with your best friend Minerva McGonagall, who is just so charming and hilariously funny.” Stacey raged as she screwed up her face in anger. “Because you make it seem like you would of course rather go on a date with her then me.” Yelled Stacey, and after that she stormed out of the building.
“Stacey, that’s not true…” said Dumbledore. It was no use. Stacey had already left the building and would have apparated already. Dumbledore could not figure out what he had done to upset Stacey. He had just descried Minerva, not done anything else. He had not said that he would much rather go on a date with her than Stacey, although that was completely true. Dumbledore decided to go back to his office and put his thoughts into the pensive.

*********************

“This food is excellent, Minerva. Good choice of a restaurant.” said Peter, with a little smile on his face.
“Yes, I did think that the food would be excellent, but I didn’t know that the place would be so crowded! We’re lucky we got a table.” said Minerva.
“Yeah, we are. I think I actually have seen half the people here around. It must be couples’ night or something, because I see a lot.” commented Peter.
“Yes, I know some couples here. There’s Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, and Arthur and Molly Weasley. Oh, and also there’s Fleur Delacour and Bill Weasley.” said Minerva.
Peter seemed to be staring and the couple that Minerva just had pointed out, Fleur and Bill. He wasn’t staring at Bill, but at Fleur. Minerva snapped her fingers in front of his face. “Peter! Earth to Peter! Peter, snap out of it!” Minerva said as he gave him a little slap on the face.
“Oh, I’m sorry Minerva, I was just...erm…in a trance.” replied Peter with an embarrassed look on his face.
“Well next time stop staring at girls who are much too young for you.” snapped Minerva.
“I didn’t- it wasn’t- I wasn’t staring at that girl, Fleur!” stuttered Peter.
“Oh, yes you were! Don’t lie to me Peter. I saw you staring at her, and you were also staring at that wretched Stacey girl Professor Dumbledore was with. I saw you.” raged Minerva as her nostrils flared.
“I most certainly was not! The only girl I would stare at is you!” said Peter, looking at Minerva with an apologetic look.
“Oh, Peter, don’t give me that look or that pathetic excuse. This is why I don’t like going places with you. All you do is stare at other woman or even start to talk to them!” Minerva said, as all the lines of fury appeared on her face.
“And you don’t talk to other guys? What about that Dumbledore man?” questioned Peter.
“YOU WERE EXCITED TO MEET HIM! And for your information, I work for him, as you should know! If your boss called your name, would you ignore them? I don’t think so! Plus, what other guys have I talked to besides him?” yelled Minerva, full of fury.
“Well, I dunno! But I know that you didn’t like that Stacey girl, because you just called her wretched! You just don’t like her because she’s going out with Albus Dumbledore!” yelled Peter.
“I-AM-NOT-JEALOUS! And I called her wretched because she acted very rude towards us! And if you think I’m so jealous of that Stacey lady, well you can just forget about us! And you know what? I think I already have!” and with that, Minerva stormed out of the restaurant extremely angry and headed towards the castle.

more on the way! ;D

[snowcat]

hehehehe....

[angeldust]

(giggle) I like this, well done on your first fic post more soon!

[ginny]

Sorry its taken kinda long....but I've been busy. Ive had like 6 tests this week

but heres chapter 3!

CHAPTER 3

When Minerva entered the castle she did not feel like going back to her office anytime soon, thinking that Peter might try to contact her there, being who he was. Although she ended the relationship, there was still sadness in her heart. A few tears started to fall from her face.
“I must be stupid, crying like this,” Minerva thought to herself. “ I was the one who ended it right? So why am I sad? I am certainly mad, but I don’t know why I am so hurt.” Minerva asked herself.
She finally found and empty room and with a flick of her wand there was a comfy, red couch where she sat down and suddenly dove into her own thoughts.
“He said I was jealous of Stacey,” thought Minerva, “was I? I guess I am worried for Albus….he has had some bad relationships before, and this just doesn’t seem like the right woman for him,” said Minerva to herself. “Albus and I are just friends, right? Although I did feel that burning sensation in my stomach when I saw him with another woman….and I have known him for the longest time.” thought Minerva.
She curled up on the couch some more while she tried to figure out her feelings for Albus. First she thought they were just friends, then she thought that she liked him, but now she was thinking that she had loved him. Loved him for a very long time, but did not recognize it until now. Minerva started to pace around the room as she thought about this.
“He already has a girlfriend, who he seems pretty happy with,” Minerva thought. “I’m not going to invade on their relationship just because I want to be his. I just can’t do that.” she said to herself.
For the next half-hour she thought to herself what it would be like if she and Albus were together. She paced around the room, sat on the couch, even sat at the desk that was in the room. Her feelings were very mixed up right now, and she didn’t know what to do.
Minerva found a mirror in the room and looked at herself. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, and her hair was all full of tangles because she had taken her hair out from her tight bun that she once had in.
“Do I deserve Albus Dumbledore, one of the greatest wizards to ever live?” she asked herself.
***************

Dumbledore paced his office, thinking of the events that had just happened. Why did he have to go on like that about Minerva? Yes, he has loved her for a long period of time.
“But I should’ve controlled myself,” he thought, “I wasn’t being thoughtful enough.”
He was still pacing his office when he got tired of it. He decided to take a walk around Hogwarts to ease his thoughts. Maybe he would find a secret passage or something that would get his mind off Stacey…and Minerva.
Dumbledore didn’t feel THAT hurt by what Stacey said to him. Yes, he would rather go on a date with Minerva than her, but he wasn’t going to admit that. He just was worried how much he hurt Stacey. He decided that tomorrow he was going to write a letter to Stacey apologizing, but not saying that he wanted to get back together with her. Dumbledore felt that Stacey was not the type of girl that was for him. He could only hope that Stacey would accept his apology, and still want to be his friend.
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud yell which sounded oddly familiar to him.
“PEEVES IF YOU DON’T STOP I SHALL HAVE TO CONTACT THE HEADMASTER! AND MAYBE EVEN THE BLOODY BARON!” yelled the voice.
Dumbledore walked over to where the voice came from and surely enough he saw Peeves coming out of the door.
“Nasty temper, that lady’s’ got, you might not want to go in there right now, oh no Professor Dumbledore, not now..” Peeves said as he trailed off to go find more ways to annoy people.
Dumbledore opened the door carefully. He had a suspicion as to who it was, and did not want to anger her right now, for she had a Scottish temper. He finally took a step inside and saw a deeply troubled and beautiful woman sitting on a red, cushiony couch.
“Minerva?” whispered Dumbledore quietly, “Minerva, what is wrong?”
Minerva jumped up very quickly from the couch and wiped her eyes, for she did not want Albus to see her like this. Her cheeks suddenly turned a rosy red and she mumbled, “Oh, its nothing…”
“Minerva, dear, this can’t be nothing,” he said as he looked into her emerald green eyes, “Listen, you can just tell me what happened, it’ll be alright,” he said with comfort.
“Oh, I suppose….but just promise not to laugh or anything, alright?” Minerva asked.
“I promise, why would I laugh?” answered Dumbledore.
“Okay, so after we met you and Stacey outside, we headed off to the restaurant. I accused Peter of staring and Fleur Delacour, since she was there with Bill. Then he-er-well, he accused me of being jealous of Stacey, because she was-erm-because she was going out with you, and then I left him there. After I left the restaurant, I came here because I didn’t want Peter to come and find me, because I didn’t want to talk to him, or really see him again….so I just popped myself a couch and sat down until Peeves came in here and started singing and throwing things.” Minerva explained.
“Oh, I’m so sorry Minerva, I didn’t mean to mess things up for you…”Dumbledore said.
“Oh, Albus, you didn’t do anything, it’s just that jerk Peter, he’s just a little bit….out of his mind.” Minerva laughed, “So what happened on your date with Stacey? Why are you back so early?” asked Minerva.
“Well, if you must know….it was quite like the situation you dealt with.” Dumbledore said.
“Oh, I’m sorry…if I caused any…trouble…or anything…” Minerva muttered.
“Oh, no, no, no you didn’t do anything it was actually my fault…Stacey and I were in conversation, then she brought up you. I kept saying how nice you were and then she assumed I would rather be on a date with you then her, and she stormed out of Three Broomsticks,” explained Dumbledore, as he turned a bit red.
“You said how nice I was?” asked Minerva, in shock.
“Yes, as a matter of fact I did. She asked me about you, so I described that you were funny, nice, and intelligent. And also a very excellent transfiguration professor.” Dumbledore said.
“Oh, Albus…,” Minerva said, turned red again, “I’ve been in here all night wondering about Peter…and you. Because to tell you the truth, I was kind of…erm…well I dunno about jealous of Stacey, but when I saw her with you I was kind of…I dunno how to say it, maybe annoyed?” Minerva confessed.
“Well, to tell you the truth, I’m actually quite flattered,” he said with a smile, “and I would go on a date with you over Stacey any day.” Dumbledore said, moving a bit closer to Minerva.
They stared into each others meaningful eyes for a moment, then drew closer to each other, and finally their lips touched. They shared a passionate kiss for a moment, then they broke apart.
“Albus, if someone finds us…” Minerva said.
“Not to worry, all the students should be in bed, and this is a deserted corridor.” Dumbledore answered.
Minerva’s lips met Dumbledore’s yet again and Minerva pushed away Dumbledore’s heavy coat, and it fell to the floor with a thud. Slowly, Dumbledore started to push away Minerva’s light jacket that she had on, and it fell on the couch.
Suddenly, the oak door burst open, and in came another young couple, a young man pulling on another girls and, and kissing as they were walking in. Albus and Minerva broke apart and so did the young couple. The two lovely couples started at each other for a moment, and then finally, the young girl with bushy hair broke the silence.
“Professors!” said the young girl, “W-we’re sorry,” she stammered, “We didn’t mean to interrupt on anything,” she said, in shock.
“That’s quite alright Miss Granger,” said Dumbledore, “Miner-I mean, Professor McGonagall and I were just discussing some, err, important….topics.” finished Dumbledore.
“Oh, yeah, that explains why you two were snogging when you came in Hermione and I came in here!” said Ron.
“Ronald!” Hermione whispered.
“Mr. Weasley I do not want that tone of voice with me. As I recall, you two were also snogging as well. Also, you are out of bed after hours.” said Minerva, in a stern voice, much unlike the one she used with Dumbledore.
“Minerva,” Dumbledore muttered out of the side of his mouth, “I do feel we owe these kids an explanation…what if it gets spread around that we were snogging?”
“Yeah, I want an explanation!” said Ron, obviously having heard what Dumbledore said.
“Oh, I supposed we must,” said Minerva, “But still, you two get 30 points taken away-each-for being out of bed after hours-and snogging.”
“Yes, we’re very sorry,” said Hermione in an apologetic voice.
“So where’s this explanation?” asked Ron.
“Well, Professor McGonagall and I both went on dates tonight, not with each other, but with separate people,” said Dumbledore, getting a weird look from Ron, “Yes, I know it’s weird to picture your teachers on date, Mr. Weasley, but we’re still human,” he said with a chuckle.
“So anyways, they both turned out badly and we ended up here and well….you saw.” finished Minerva.
Ron let out a laugh, “I always knew there was something going on between you two,” said Ron, with a grin.
“Yes, but Mr. Weasley, please do not repeat what you saw tonight with anyone. Same goes for you Miss Granger.” said Minerva.
“Not even Harry?” asked Ron.
“Well, I supposed Mr. Potter is always an exception, isn’t he?” Dumbledore said with a chuckle.
“Thank you professors.” said Hermione, her voice as quiet as a whisper.
“You two better be off to bed now.” said Minerva.
“Yeah, I suppose so.” said Ron.
Ron and Hermione headed off to bed while Minerva and Dumbledore were left standing in the room. As soon as Dumbledore was sure they were out of hearing distance, he said “Next time, I suggest my chambers.”
“Definitely,” Minerva said, with a smile. And with that, they were headed off to Albus Dumbledore’s privet chambers.
