Cautious Lovers

Oh lord this was calling to be written… to me at least. Blame the writers for Cane and yes Albus would NEVER dream of cheating on Min! ever but I couldn’t resist writing this Yes it’s not my usual rot your teeth fluff this time around but it was calling. Yes it’s just a drabble and the title sucks but still. Oh yah and btw, this is AFTER book seven no Albus isn’t dead (duh) he’s not gay and it’s pretty much in my own little world disregarding a lot of JKR’s world… AND people know Min and Albus are married.

I own nothing! Not even the lines at the end really Min/Albus/anything from Harry Potter belongs to JKR and her people etc and the stuff from Cane belongs to CBS and the dudes who own Cane

“What?” gasped Minerva, staring at the healer across the desk from where she sat next to Albus. “You mean those fifty or so horse pills he’s been taking everyday for the past two months aren’t doing anything?” Was he serious? “If they’re not doing anything why did you-”

“Mrs. McDore.” The healer sighed how did he explain this? This conversation was always one of the hardest. “It worked the last time but we’re just going to have to take another approach it seems this tumor.” Minerva visibly flinched at the mention of the word; she wasn’t one who was easy to shake but she was so worried about her husband. “It seems it’s developed a resistance to the drugs we’ve been using.”

Beneath the table, Albus squeezed his wife’s hand. She met his gaze for a moment before turning back to the doctor. “Then what else can we do?”

“Well there aren’t many magical options left but there is the muggle treatment. Che-” The healer began only to be cut off by Albus rather strong protest of, “No.”

“Albus you can’t be serious we have to at least consi-”

“No I won’t do it.”

“Albus please just hear him out.”

Minerva glared across the room at her husband as he sat at his desk reading several days later. How could he be so stubborn as to do something like this? He well knew he was still needed; she refused to let him just stand by and watch him willingly die. Even if they had exhausted all the magical ‘cures’ for his cancer they still could at least try the muggle things. She didn’t want to think of losing Albus yet; the very thought of it hurt too much. He had a wife, a school, and a family to take care of. For Merlin’s sake, they had a grandchild on the way! “You can stop looking at me like that Min it’s not going to change my mind.” He didn’t even look up from his book at her but merely turned the page walking to the bedroom, “You might as well come get ready we’ve got to go to London in an hour for that Minstery dinner.” Why was she being like this? She knew how he felt about everything and she was just being too stubborn.

She looked up at the ceiling for a moment before stalking off in the direction of their bathroom, only coming out a half hour later ready for the dinner but still ignoring her husband. Why was he doing this? That was the one thing about the last few days; he never would understand he was needed here, and he could just throw it all away like that. As she walked towards the fireplace to grab the Floo-Powder Albus slipped an arm around her waist, “Don’t touch me!” She pulled away glaring at him coldly. Minerva had no intentions of letting him get his way about this if he was willing to throw everything away like that he could just live without everything else he had for the time being.

“Just go away and leave me alone.” Minerva bit her lip the past few days’ events finally becoming just a bit too much for her. Taking a deep breath, she moved away sitting down on the couch, “Albus just don’t…” He thought he could just act as if everything was fine after what had happened? Was he crazy? She wasn’t going to let him get away with things like that.

He knelt in front of the couch taking his wife’s hands in his own, “Mina … honey, look at me. I don't want to die a lonely old man who doesn't get to do the thing he loves most. Like running Hogwarts….” She glared at him for a moment not wanting to hear any of this. “Or enjoying every aspect of his wife.”

“Then do this honey please. I don’t want to lose you.”

“You’re not going to lose me.” Albus moved to the couch and pulled her close, “Never.”

Chapter 2 His True Mistress

This was never intended to have a second chapter but I copied and pasted and put a part that was SUPPOSED to be in another story so the cheating part will be explained here (this was supposed to be another story actually )…

(oh yha again I own *drum roll* NOTHING!!!!!!!!)

Though they both of them were about half an hour later make it to the Minstery party they did, Minerva was still somewhat reluctant to leave her husband’s side even if she had to eventually. “Go on.” She kissed his cheek shooing Albus off towards a group of officials as she walked towards a table where Poppy currently sat. With any hope, this night would go quickly she wanted nothing more than to go home and be with her husband, for who knew how much longer he was going to be here.

“Hey you.” Poppy smiled greeting her best friend, “Everything go ok at the Healers? You two weren’t back for lunch.” Everyone in the castle was worried about the couple no matter how much both Albus and Minerva hated being fussed over. “Yes, yes he’s fine they’re just going to try a new potion.” Ok it wasn’t a complete lie just bending the truth a lot Minerva knew Albus wouldn’t want to be worried over.

“You sure?”

“Yes Poppy I’m sure he’s just fine we decided to go out for lunch instead of going back to the castle for once.” Ok it wasn’t a complete lie, neither one of them had been in the mood to talk to anyone after that news, especially Minerva herself, “Nothing bad happened I promise he’s just fine.” Beneath the table her hands knotted, she bit her lip struggling not to show how worried she truly was. He was her husband after all and the one person on this planet she cared about more than her cubs at Hogwarts.

Poppy watched her for a moment if there was one thing you learned about Minerva after having had been her best friend for the last few decades she tended to overcompensate when she was worried, “Whatever you say dear.” She took a sip of wine rolling her eyes. She was worried and Poppy knew it.
“I’m not lying Poppy. He’s perfectly fine, we just wanted to spend some time alone, and don’t you go assuming we were in bed either it was just lunch.”

The women’s conversation was interrupted as someone at the high table clicked and both Albus and Alastor came to the table both taking a seat next to their wives. A worried expression on Minerva’s face met Albus’ smile as he took her hand beneath the table squeezing it. He kissed her knuckles not half-paying attention to the wizard on the podium. It didn’t seem to be quite five minutes by the time the words had stopped replaced by music, “Dance with me?” He pulled Minerva to her feet with a grin.

“Of course my dear.”

“Have I told you how much I loved you lately?”

“Not within the last half hour.”

Albus smiled kissing her soundly again not caring that people were watching, he was so happy that their relationship was finally out of the shadows. “I love you more than you imagine.”

“You say the sweetest things.”

With a tap on her shoulder Minerva was pulled out of her ‘own little world’, “Minister.” She nodded her head smiling; finally, they’d got a capable Minster of Magic thankfully though the man did seem to always show up at the worst times possible. “Albus I was hoping I could steal your lovely life for a few moments.” Despite a look from Minerva that obviously meant no Albus nodded kissing her on the cheek, “It’s only for a little bit.” He whispered in her ear. She stopped him her gaze flicking from Albus to a blond behind him, “Don’t you think you’ve got a free pass with Blondie over there just because you’re sick.” Minerva whispered in his ear as the other woman came up behind Albus a downright wicked grin on her face.

Minerva half-paid attention to the Minister as they danced her real concentration on her husband, and a certain blond reporter he was talking to. It wasn’t as if she was really worried about him but still she’d seen that woman before and even from just the gossip that went around Hogwarts Minerva knew she was after more than just talking to him. That little slut was by far one of the women at this party she didn’t want anywhere near Albus. “Minister I do apologize but I really must go talk to my husband for a moment. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

As she tried to make her way towards Albus Minerva found herself being stopped every few moments eventually she lost sight of Albus and sat down back at their table only to be once again be joined by Poppy. “You’re worried.” The other witch said simply still watching her own husband. “I am not. I’m just sick of the Minister stepping on my toes.” Minerva rolled her eyes.

“Minerva.”

“The man can’t dance, he’s a fine Minister, but he can’t dance.”

“Yha ok…. whatever you say Minerva. You can’t honestly tell me you’re not one bit worried about Albus and that little tart he’s with.”’

“Poppy, well if she wants him, she’ll have to stand behind his true mistress… Hogwarts.”
