Minerva's Family
What happens when Minerva's family arrives at Hogwarts!
13+ to be safe!
By Deirdre
"I am so excited!" squealed Poppy. "In all the years I've known you I've never met your family!"
"Good for you." replied Minerva sarcastically.
"Oh come on Min, they're not that bad!" said Rolanda Hooch.
"How many times do I have to tell you! My name is Minerva not Min!"
"Lighten up a bit Min!" said Poppy, clearly ignoring Minerva's angry outburst. "We know you love your family..."
"Deep, deep, deep down..." continued Rolanda.
"Oh shut up both of you!"
Poppy, Rolanda and Minerva were standing in the Entrance hall, awaiting the arrival of Minerva's family. Minerva was stressed, Roland was ecstatic and Poppy was excited. Minerva had been dreading this very day for a few weeks now and Rolanda and Poppy had come along for some "moral support."
"I haven't seen them in years! What am I supposed to say to them?"
"Just breathe Min. Look that's them now!" exclaimed Rolanda happily as she pointed at a window.
"WHAT??"
A large carriage was coming up the long road, drawn by two horses.
"Why couldn't they just use Floo powder?" asked Poppy.
"The McGonagall clan like to arrive in "style"." grinned Hooch.
Minerva sighed in relief when she realised it would be just her intermediate family coming. Poppy suddenly turned to Minerva. She was wearing her teachers robes and her hair was tied back in one of the tightest buns Poppy had ever seen.
"Minerva, it's the holidays! It'll do you no good to be looking like a spinster!"
"Don't you dare Poppy!" Minerva cried as Poppy transfigured her robes and let down her hair.
"Live a little Min." said Rolanda.
Suddenly a small woman appeared from behind them. She looked very similar to Minerva, except she had shorter hair and a mischievous grin. Rolanda liked her straight away.
"Athena!" cried Minerva.
"Minerva's favourite cousin." explained Rolanda to Poppy as Minerva embraced the woman.
"What are you doing here?"
"I've come to warn you Min!" she said.
"Warn me?" asked Minerva.
"The family's coming..."
"Yes I know, they're due to arrive any minute-"
"No you don't understand! The ENTIRE family Minerva!"
Rolanda moved quickly to catch Minerva as she fainted.
