The ADMM Collection

[childminerva]

Yes, I'm doing it too...I thought Sunrise was a good one to start with, I might end with Sunset. I've decided to keep them all together, like I am on ff.net...easier for me!
And...I don't own them.

#31 Sunrise

“Minerva, wake up, you have to see this!”

Minerva McGonagall groaned into her pillow and shrugged off her husband’s attempt to get her up.

“Minerva!” Albus was pleading now.

“Albus Dumbledore, it’s bloody five in the morning,” she told him, her voice muffled by the pillow.

“You can go back to sleep in a minute, Minerva,” he told her, “please just get up.”

Minerva sighed. She could never tell him no.

“Fine.”

Minerva rolled out of the bed and stood wearily, waiting for Albus to show her whatever it was that had him so excited. He took her by the hand and led her over to one of the large windows in their bedroom.

“There,” he said softly, pointing out the window at the sky. Minerva gasped.

It was the most beautiful sunrise she had ever seen. The sky was streaked with bold pink and purple slashes across a backdrop of pale yellow. The sun was just peeking out from the tops of the trees in the Forbidden Forest and it dusted the top of the trees with a gentle coating of yellow light. The view was perfect and Minerva knew that they were probably the only ones in the castle who were seeing it.

“Thank you Albus,” she whispered softly.

He smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of her head as she snuggled into his arms and they watched the rest of the sunrise together.

[crystalpheonixeyes]

O I like it!Can't wait untill your next #. I hope she never tells him no... to anything....

[childminerva]

Here's the second one...it's rather suggestive, so be warned. I've modified it a bit--it is now 100 words exactly.

#11 Red

She was wearing a red dress that Valentine’s Day. It was short and clingy and it drove her husband crazy, but then she had read somewhere that the color red did that to people. They had dinner in a busy city so as not to be recognized by anyone and have their true relationship revealed. Then it was back to the castle, back to their rooms where there was red wine and dozens of red roses everywhere she looked. Then the red dress was gone, lost in the folds of the smooth sheets and then, then there was only skin.

[crystalpheonixeyes]

This is cute. Suggestive yes, but that is what makes it so loveable.

[childminerva]

And another-this one is 100 words exactly!

#15 Blue
They’re twinkling again; those marvelous blue eyes of his are twinkling, Minerva McGonagall thought to herself as she gazed across the table in the staff room at Albus Dumbledore during a faculty meeting.

Damn him, he’s twinkling at me in the middle of a staff meeting! He knows I hate that.
Those eyes of his…such a beautiful shade of blue. How can I not love a man whose eyes are such a clear blue?

If he would just stop looking at me with those beautiful eyes I could…hmm, blue like the sky-no! Don’t think about his eyes, those amazing blue eyes…

[osusprinks]

I absolutely loved all three of these although I have to say I felt the most pull for the third. So great! Thanks for sharing.

[childminerva]

Some bad language in this one, just thought I'd let you know first.

#14 Green
Albus Dumbledore sat in his office chair, apparently at ease but in reality frightened out of his wits. Minerva was in a foul temper and he could see it in her eyes. She had not as yet come out and said anything, but the fury was there in her emerald green eyes. The eyes that so entranced him; when she was not looking at him as though ready to murder him that is.

“Albus,” she began, holding in her temper as best she could, “that woman is a complete and utter bitch. I cannot handle another minute of her following me around the school offering suggestions on how to handle the students and making that disgusting noise in her throat…”

There she stopped, her face contorted with revulsion. Albus tried not to smile at her reaction to that particularly annoying habit of the new Defense teacher, but she saw the corners of his mouth betray him.

“Albus Dumbledore!” she screamed at him, her green eyes flashing furiously “This is not a joke; that woman is nothing but trouble and I want her out!”

“Minerva, my dear,” he told her in a calm voice, while inwardly he was quaking, “I don’t have any choice in the matter. I realize that she can be rather annoying, all right, very annoying, okay a pain in the ass, but I can’t do anything about her. We will just have to wait until the Ministry sees sense and takes her away.”

Minerva glared at the Headmaster.

“I’m too old to wait for miracles, Albus,” she told him dryly. “If you can’t get rid of her then I simply cannot be held responsible for my actions when it comes to that woman.”

Albus sighed.

“Minerva,” he implored. “Please don’t do anything illegal.”

“What I’m going to do to her is nothing compared to what I’ll do to you if you don’t back me up on this,” she warned him.

“Oh, Minerva come on.”

She shook her head firmly.

“It’s the couch for you tonight.”

“What!” Albus cried, jumping to his feet. “Now that’s not fair, Minerva. I agree that the woman is awful, but you can’t punish me for something I have no control over!”

Minerva leaned over the desk so her face was inches away from his and he could see her beautiful green eyes sparkle with mischief.

“Watch me,” she told him in a low voice. Then she straightened up and headed for the door, speaking over her shoulder in an airy voice. “Good day, Headmaster

[mcgonagallrocks]

That's EVIL Go Mini Go Mini Death to the Toad Death to the Toad

[KSpirit]

I liked it! I laughed the whole time I read this, I can picture Min all flared up and Albus just sitting there listening and trying not to let her know he is afraid of her!

[osusprinks]

Oh I loved this one! That was just too great. I can just see her leaning over his desk and saying that and the expressions on both their faces! lol

You are doing an amazing job with these! But then I'm not really surprised.

Thanks for sharing!

[childminerva]

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the others! I have ideas for the prompts called Drinks, Children, Black, Touch, Triangle, Storm and Sunset so hopefully I will have those up over the next few days, except for Sunset which I will post last. Thanks for the encouragement guys, seriously (and Remusly).

#19 White
“Hem, hem.”

Minerva spun on her heel and turned to stare down her nose at Dolores Umbridge who had crept up behind her in the hallway outside the Great Hall.

“Yes, Dolores?” she said, her voice icy.

With a small smirk on her ugly little face, Dolores held up a long white hair.

“I found this on your robes,” she told her with a malicious giggle.

Minerva stared at the hair in horror. It belonged to her husband, Albus Dumbledore, and the smug look on Dolores’s face told her that the woman now had proof of a relationship she had undoubtedly suspected before.

The ramifications of this knowledge in the hands of that woman hit Minerva like a tidal wave. Dolores would tell the Minister of Magic who would use this information to wreck the reputations of both Albus and Minerva. Forget that they were married and had been for years upon years, the tabloids would be all over the news of their relationship with their slanderous tongues and Minerva would have to resign just to save Albus’s position as Headmaster. People would say that she only got the job of Deputy Headmistress because she was sleeping with her boss and that it was a scandal that would have a negative influence on the staff and the students. All because Albus had left a hair on her robes.

Then Dolores gave her another sickly smile and that stupid giggle that Minerva so despised.

“The great Minerva McGonagall,” she said in a mocking tone, “has finally started to go gray, or should I say white?”

Minerva’s jaw dropped.

“Tell me Minerva,” Dolores continued, misunderstanding Minerva’s expression, “is this a first time occurrence or have you been dyeing your hair for some time now?”

Minerva stared at the other woman, amazed at her stupidity. Dolores actually thought the hair was hers. Minerva wanted to laugh, but she managed to maintain her composure so she would not give herself away.

“That is no concern of yours, Dolores,” she told her stiffly.

Dolores giggled again.

“Of course not,” she told Minerva as if humoring her. “Well good day then.”

Minerva bit her lip as the other woman waddled smugly into the Great Hall. When she was finally out of sight, Minerva allowed herself a small laugh. Really, the woman was an idiot.

[osusprinks]

I thought I would leave you a note here too since you didn't have any yet! Excellent story. It still makes me smile.

[KSpirit]

Oh gosh that was good! I got scared for a second for Min! Wow, is Umbridge dumb!

[robyn]

I loved "Green" and "White" was great as well. Though "Sunrise" is still my favourite:)
Good job.

Robyn.

[childminerva]

Okay, one more. This one is the longest yet...I almost wrote it as a separate oneshot several weeks ago, but I decided to post it as part of the challenge. It's my favorite so far. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks to crystalphoenixeyes, osusprinks, Kspirit, mcgonagallrocks, and robyn for reviewing the others.

#60 Drink
At number twelve Grimmauld Place, an Order of the Phoenix meeting had just ended and the Order members were leaving. Severus Snape had no real desire to return to Hogwarts at once as there was a particularly nasty amphibian-like woman roaming the halls. Instead he hoped to sit in silence at the kitchen table as the others left and just mind his own business until it was absolutely time for him to leave. Unfortunately, he was not to be given any peace.

“Hey there Severus, have you decided to hang around for awhile?”

It was Remus Lupin. He pulled out the seat across the table from Severus and sat down. Severus said nothing.

“This house really is rather depressing,” Remus said, when Severus ignored his greeting. “Why don’t we go out and get a drink?”

“Lupin,” said Severus slowly, “I hate you. I have hated you since the age of eleven. So, no. I do not want to ‘go out and get a drink’ with you.”

Remus sighed and shook his head.

“You know Severus, this is why no one likes you.’

“I don’t want anyone to like me,” Severus replied. “Why don’t you ask that girlfriend of yours, Tonks, if she wants to go.”

“One, she’s not my girlfriend,” said Remus, though Severus could see a blush appear on the other man’s face. “And two, she’s in the library with Sirius playing Exploding Snap and keeping him occupied. He’s my best friend and I feel bad that he can’t go out, but I need to get out of this place sometime and if Tonks can keep him distracted, I’m going to do my best to escape.”

“How Slytherin of you,” said Severus dryly. “I’m still not going to go with you.”

Just then, the two men heard voices coming from the hallway outside the open kitchen door.

“Do we have to go back now? That disgusting woman will be all over us the moment we get back to the castle.”

“Yes my love, I’m afraid we must return.”

Severus and Remus glanced at one another in alarm. The voices sounded a lot like those of Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, but what they were saying sounded a lot more intimate than what they usually heard between those two.

“I can’t get a moments rest with her around!” That was definitely the voice of Minerva McGonagall.

“I know, but perhaps later on I could help you relax…” The speaker’s voice grew lower and slightly seductive and Remus gave a gasp of horror as the female speaker giggled.

The two men at the kitchen table faced one another now with identical looks of dismay and horror. The voices were getting closer and there was no doubt now that they belonged to the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress.

Just as Remus and Severus were about to jump up and flee, Albus and Minerva entered the kitchen, his arm wrapped around her waist.

“Oh, hello Remus, Severus,” said Albus calmly, with only the slightest flicker of surprise as he and Minerva paused in the doorway. “We did not realize you were still here.”

“Uh,” Remus looked to Severus for help, but the potions master looked as if he would throw up if he dared to open his mouth.

Minerva had blushed faintly when she entered the room and realized what the others had undoubtedly overheard, but now she glared at the two of them sternly.

“Oh, really,” she snapped, “don’t stand there looking so ridiculous. Albus and I are together, big deal. We happen to be married, so stop looking so disgusted!”

“Really? Married?” said Remus, stunned. “When did that happen?”

“Thirty-five years ago,” said Albus happily, pulling Minerva tighter to his side.

“And you two are supposed to be so smart,’ said Minerva, rolling her eyes. “Come on Albus, let’s go face the harpy.”

Albus waved goodbye to the two men and then he and Minerva stepped into the fireplace and flooed to his office at the castle.

“My god,” said Remus after a minute of shocked silence. “That means they were…you know, when we were students.”

Severus looked about three shades paler than usual, if that was possible. He sank slowly into his chair and covered his face with his hands.

Finally, he spoke.

“Lupin.”

“Yes?”

“I need a drink.”

[robyn]

Oh, I laughed so hard people came up from all over the place trying to read over my shoulder. I didn't share though... They ship other characters, they will never understand.

Great piece.
Thanks, Robyn.

[KSpirit]

Haha! That was great. I can just see the faces on Lupin and Sev, Sev being horrified and Lupin being the one to broach the topic after Min scolded them!

[StormAngel]

OMG. that was great!!! I was reading this in school on my laptop and laughed so hard that everyone thought that I was mad... LOL!

[osusprinks]

Excellent job! Thanks for sharing!

[jayejaye]

Oh these were great . The last one had me laughing out loud.

[ιady ταвz]

me too.XD

[childminerva]

Thank you to all those who reviewed since my last update-this one is for you guys; your praise made me feel bad for not updating sooner! Anyway, this one is strange...when I saw this prompt I was like "what am I supposed to do for this one?" So I decided to get this one over with quickly, hope you all enjoy it.

#42 Triangle

“I think we should form a musical group,” said Poppy Pomfrey “Just so the staff room isn’t so dull. We should all bring our instruments and play them together. It would be fun. I play the harp.”

“I can play a wood flute,” said Rubeus Hagrid eagerly. “I can make them too.”

Minerva McGonagall glared at them both.

“Absolutely not,” she told them, “That is a perfectly awful idea. We should just avoid the staff room altogether rather than introduce such a racket.”

“Oh Minerva,” said Poppy teasingly, “You just don’t like the idea because you can’t play any instruments.”

“Not true,” said Minerva indignantly. “I can play the piano, the violin and the bagpipes!”

“Yes of course, the ever talented Minerva McGonagall,” said Severus Snape, his usual sneer firmly in place.

“Well Severus,” said Minerva, in a falsely sweet voice, “What do you play?”

“The piano and the cello,” he told her shortly.

“Ooh, the cello,” she said mockingly, “Isn’t that what those muggle plays and movies use when they want to frighten the audience? How appropriate.”

Severus glared at her.

“I think it is a wonderful idea,” said Albus Dumbledore, breaking in at last.

Minerva turned on him.

“Albus, really!”

His clear blue eyes twinkled at her and he smiled.

“I believe it would be fun.”

“But Albus,” said Minerva, frowning at the Headmaster in confusion, “you don’t play an instrument.”

He smiled again.

“Now that is where you are wrong my dear,” he told her, “While I am not blessed with the exceptional talent that you and Severus possess for those multiple instruments, there is one instrument that I am trained in.”

Minerva stared at him skeptically, never having heard of such an instrument before.

“And what is that Albus?”

With a quick flick of his wand, Albus produced a small silver triangle with a short silver stick, which he used to tap the triangle and produce a small ting!

“The triangle!”

[ιady ταвz]

omg!!! hahaha!!! I CAN JUST IMAGINE HIM PLAYING IT!!

PING!!!

[StormAngel]

lol!!!!!!!

[osusprinks]

That is perfect. lol So hilarious! Congrats on your 34000 words, by the way. I'm impressed!

[KSpirit]

Hehehe, that was great! Good job using the prompt, it was very original!!

[childminerva]

A little Thanksgiving treat for all of my readers...for those of you who are not celebrating this holiday today, you may share in this gift as well. Lucky you. Thank you for the reviews, they really do mean a lot to me! Special thanks to OSUSprinks who reviews here and on ff.net every single time! Yay for OSUSprinks!!!
A warning...this is quiet suggestive and I would give it a rating of T, or PG-13, whichever you prefer.

#1 Beginnings

Minerva looked into the eyes of her best friend and recognized the love burning within those blue eyes. Closing the distance between them, Minerva pressed her lips to his and was lost in the sweetness of that first kiss. That kiss quickly led to more and soon Minerva found herself in Albus’s bedroom where they expressed the love that they had been hiding from one another for so long.

“Minerva,” Albus whispered her name as he pressed kisses along her neck causing her to moan, “I love you.”

Minerva felt her skin burn with every touch of his hands and every kiss.

Then she woke up.

Minerva opened her eyes and blinked a few times to clear her head of the vivid dream. Then she turned to her left and looked at the sleeping form of her husband. Smiling to herself she pressed her face into his back and whispered his name.

“Albus.”

He stirred and lifted his head slightly.

“Yes my dear?”

“I just had the loveliest dream,” she told him in a silky voice.

This time he rolled over to face her and his blue eyes twinkled.

“Oh really,” he said with a smile of his own, “and what did you dream about?”

Minerva smiled and pressed herself closer to him.

“The first time we kissed,” she told him sweetly, “The first time we made love.”

“Ah yes,” he said, remembering that time as well, “our beginnings.”

Minerva nodded and pressed a lingering kiss to the corner of his mouth.

“I was thinking we might go ‘back to the beginning’,” she told him, her voice growing more and more seductive.

Albus smiled more broadly and pulled her into his arms.

“I think that would be an excellent idea my dear.”

[KSpirit]

Ohhh good one! What a lovely Thanksgiving Day treat, thank you!

Happy Turkey Day!

[ιady ταвz]
