A/n: Hope this complies with the challenge set. I tried to write a lemon but it was so incredibly hard for me to do. Anyone who knows what happened to my last lemon will hopefully understand. I am sorry to have let you down if you were hoping for a lemon. I have made it a bit tangy though.
Natural Showers.
It was a hot summer evening, the air was warm and one could barely move without breaking out in a sweat. Minerva McGonagall detested this sort of weather, she found unproductive and uncomfortable. The students had left Hogwarts now for the summer break and there were only a handful of staff remaining at the school over the break including the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Minerva had to admit that she was overjoyed when he had told of his plans for the summer, she was hoping that they might get chance to spend some time alone together and she carefully drop some hints about how she felt about him. She didn’t know exactly when she had fallen in love with her best friend but it had happened and she had fallen hard. She had made the courageous decision that this summer, she would tell him.
Minerva placed her quill down on her clean and neat desk; she screwed the top back on to her pot of green ink and sighed. She had been holed up in her office for most of the day, going through the coming year’s lesson plans. She wanted to get them done so she could enjoy the rest of her summer but with the weather as it was, she was sure that she wouldn’t be enjoying it all. Despite the humidity outside, Minerva needed to stretch her legs and she had the perfect place to go.
Only last month, she had discovered a small clearing in the Forbidden Forest that was home to the most beautiful waterfall. She had heard about this waterfall from people over the years, she had thought it a myth till she had discovered it herself. She had frequently visited the spot on many nights and had bathed in the pure, free following water. She had been amazed to have found something so beautiful tucked away in such a dark place but when she had bumped into Firenze, he had explained that the place was protected by charms that Godric Gryffindor had placed on it for the unicorns. No evil, no darkness and no harm would come to anyone of good heart while in that clearing.
Minerva was unaware of anyone else knowing of this place so she decided to head there but not before dropping by her rooms, to pick up a few essential items. She had a naughty pleasure at the waterfall; those who knew would probably die of shock if she told them that she loved to strip off and wash beneath the flowing water. It gave her a sense of freedom; it was one of the places that she truly felt alive besides any place with Albus beside her.
She swept along the corridor; she could already feel herself growing sticky from the humidity of the evening. Concealed in her robe pockets were small bottles of shampoo and bath wash, she was looking forward to slipping out of her summer robes and stepping into the cool, clear water of the small pond. The corridors were empty, not a sound could be heard apart from the sounds of grasshoppers singing their song outside. Minerva was glad that she bumped into no one as she made her way outside, the hot, humid air hit her but only made her want to get to her destination quicker. She looked around her before disappearing with a faint pop. Soon a petite tabby cat with spectacle markings around her eyes was darting towards the Forbidden Forest.
The tabby darted into the forest and jumped agilely over a fallen tree, she sprinted along the dark track before finally reaching a small clearing that was surrounded by trees. With another faint pop, the cat turned back into Minerva McGonagall.
Minerva closed her eyes and readily gave herself over to the feelings that had flooded her body since entering the clearing. Peace, tranquillity and harmony seeped through her veins and she absentmindedly started to disrobe. The forest was cooler because of the shade that the trees gave off, her skin goose bumped slightly as the cool air caressed it. She relished in the feel, her eyes were still closed and she stepped into the water. It felt beautiful, she walked in until she was waist high in water before opening her eyes and surveying the tranquil scene before her. The waterfall was to her right; the sound of water hitting water was very relaxing. She dipped her body under the water and floated on her back, she enjoyed the feeling of being naked in such a spot. She felt free from the constraints of her clothing, her life and she even felt aroused as her mind wandered to thoughts of her best friend and secret love. How she wanted him to hold her, kiss her and touch her. She wanted him and the ache between her legs was becoming unbearable, she hadn’t been touched for more years that she cared to remember. She had wants and needs but she couldn’t let herself act upon those needs, she had to remain to control and alert.
So lost in her thoughts that she didn’t hear someone entering the clearing and slip into the clear waters, she wasn’t aware of them till they spoke her name.
“Minerva!”
At the sound of her name, Minerva bolted up from her floating position and made sure that everything below her shoulders was under the water. One arm wrapped across her chest, barely covering her and the other hand covering her centre from view. Her embarrassed emerald green eyes locked with twinkling blue ones that held something that she had not really seen before.
“Albus,” she began as she tried to fight her brushes “wh-what are you doing here!”
“Same thing as you, I should imagine!” came his soft reply as he took a step forward towards he
“I didn’t know anyone else knew about this spot!” she said quickly as she took a step backwards, she was extremely aware that the man before her was wearing nothing and was not even trying to cover his modesty. “If I had known then I would not have come!”
“I confess,” said Albus with a smile “I did not expect anyone else to have found this spot but I am glad that you did.”
He stepped closer and Minerva’s eyes were drawn to his shapely chest, she had never expected him to be in such good shape especially with the amount of sweets he ate throughout the day, each day, everyday, all year. Age had certainly been kind to him and in some way, Minerva felt slightly inferior with the scars and marks on her body.
“Albus,” she said softly “don’t come any closer!”
“Why not my dear?” he asked, a playful smile tugging at his lips as he looked into her eyes.
“Because I have no clothes on!” she replied as she tried unsuccessfully to cover herself with her arms.
She could feel that his eyes had started to roam over her body, the parts that were exposed and then his eyes looked into the water. She had to admit that even though she was embarrassed by the situation, she was also finding it arousing.
“Ah so I see,” he replied as he took another step forward “and just when I thought this clearing couldn’t be anymore beautiful, you grace it with your presence and it then pales in comparison.”
Minerva wasn’t sure if she had heard right, had he just complimented her and was he flirting with her? Was the look in his eyes, a look of desire? Did he want her as much as she wanted him? Could he love her?
“I know that look my dear,” he said softly as he reached out and brushed a finger against her cheek bone “and I can assure you that you heard right!”
“Albus!” she said softly as she looked into his eyes, for the first time she recognised the look of want and need that burned in them
“Yes Minerva!” he replied as his hand cupped her cheek, he smiled and stepped closer “Let me see you!”
His hand dropped from her cheek and slipped under the water where he placed it on her arms, slowly and never breaking her eye contact, he encouraged her to move her arm away from her breasts.
“Do you know how beautiful you are?” he questioned
“I am not beautiful Albus!” she replied as she looked away from him, she didn’t want to see the pity in his eyes as they fell upon the scars left from the stunners.
“I think you are and I hope my opinion matters!”
“Your opinion has always mattered to me,” she said quickly, her head turning around and her eyes locking with his once again “it’s always been important.”
“Then I beg you to believe me when I say you are beautiful,” he asked as carefully he slid an arm around her waist and pulled her flush against his chest “I have never spoken a lie to you Minerva, why would I start now.”
Minerva felt a spark of electricity rush through her veins as she found herself pulled against his chest, her breasts squashed up against him and she was fully aware of his desire poking into her thigh. She couldn’t believe what was happening, was all this a figment of her imagination. Were the hands that were caressing her back, real? She had been stiff when she had first found herself pulled against him but soon her body relaxed and loosened up. She tentatively wrapped her arms around his waist and nestled into the crook of his neck without saying anything. She wanted to enjoy as much of this before he realised what he was doing, she didn’t want to speak in case it broke the magic that surrounded her.
“Do you believe me?” he whispered in her ear before placing a chaste kiss just below her ear lobe.
“I want to!” she said in barely a whisper
“Minerva,” he said pulling back slightly “I wouldn’t tell the woman I love I lie!”
“You love me?” she asked, in shock
“Yes,” he answered “have done for many years now and this summer, I made myself promise to tell you. I saw you head in this direction and thought you might have found this spot so I followed.”
Minerva’s heart seemed to instantly become lighter and blood pumped quicker around her body, he loved her. Here he was holding her close, in the most romantic place in her mind and he was telling her that he loved her. Without a word, she closed the distance between their faces and kissed him softly, letting all her emotions out through this one kiss, which he eagerly returned.
“I hope that means you love me too!” said Albus with a chuckle when the kiss ended “Otherwise I am a confused old man.”
“I love you too Albus!” she said with a smile as she snuggled into his chest and placed a kiss on his neck.
“So why did you come here tonight?” he questioned
“Came to shower under the waterfall!” she replied
“What an excellent idea,” he said as he led her over to the fall “always wanted to wash you from head to toe.”
“Then be my guest!” she said with a purr
“Though I think I will have to start with these amazing breasts of yours first,” he said before lowering his head and placing a kiss on each pert nipple.
From that evening onwards, Albus and Minerva took their showers together under the waterfall each night and most mornings. The clearing became their place and even the Unicorns stayed away at certain times of the day to give the couple the privacy they needed.
THE END.
