THE ROAD OF DOMINANCE

Chapter 1

Sorcery, a mythological type of magic that rare individuals are said to inherit from a dieing sorcerer or sorceress. Myth has it that Merlin himself was the first sorcerer his eerie magic was believed to have been inherited by a young child while Merlin was on his death bed. When this child grew old and died another child began showing symptoms of sorcery. In the past three hundred years there have been no records of sorcery symptoms leading the wizarding population to believe that the line of sorcery either died out or more then likely never existed at all.

“Rubbish!” Minerva snapped violently as she slammed the book shut and replaced it for another in the pile.

Sorcery is believed to be inherited under the age of five from a dieing sorcerer or sorceress. Accomplished sorcerers are believed to have both the magic of normal wizardry and the magic of sorcery. Wizardry magic as we know requires a wand; sorcery requires nothing more then a strong mind. Wizardry magic consists of using the world’s elements to the best of their abilities; sorcery consists of bending the world’s elements to what the wilder wishes which of course used in the wrong way could be disastrous. Sorcerers are believed to be extremely skilled in wizardry as well as there own branch of magic. Making them more ‘powerful’ and ‘dangerous’ from normal wizarding folk. How a child is chosen to inherit such powers is still uncertain. Sorcery it self has still never been proven and remains to this day nothing more then a myth and a tale to tell small children.

‘If only they knew’ Minerva thought to herself as she closed the book and took another off the large pile. She searching desperately for answers but none of the authors seemed to understand or even know the questions yet alone the answers. Sorcery was always considered as something to fear, would Albus think she was mental if she told him she had powers different from that of a normal wizard. Would he leave her if she told him she could be sorceress? How would he react when he found out she could hardly control these powers and had injured so many while trying? How would he react knowing he was now engaged to something everyone believed was a myth?

Chapter 2

Albus Dumbledore awoke at the feeling of the cover being thrown of the bed, he heard his lover give out a loud frustrated growl and throw herself brutally onto her back.
“Minerva?” Albus asked sleepily it couldn’t possibly be time to get up yet.
“Albus!” She groaned loudly, was that fear in her voice? He felt her small hand land heavily on his arm as she cried out again. Before Albus could register what could possibly be happening, his reflexes kicked in, ripping his arm away from her Albus found himself standing at the side of their bed clutching the offending spot where Minerva had touched him. He could have sworn her touch had scolded him.
“Albus!” She cried again sounding more and more like a scared child. Quickly turning on the lights and snatching up his glasses Albus was greeted an eerie sight. Minerva’s skin was bright red, her nightgown was drenched in sweat and she was sobbing hysterically.
“Merlin.” Albus gasped stumbling away from the bed; he had never seen anything like this in all his years in the wizarding world.
“It burns!” She shrieked loudly clutching a pillow tightly. He watched as the pillow started to smoke and she screamed again. Not daring to deny his first idea he quickly rushed to the bathroom, with a flick of his wand the large tub was filled with ice cold water. Moments later he had Minerva levitated above the large tub, lowering her slowly he was quite unprepared for the shriek Minerva let out when the icy water touched her burning flesh. He watched as Minerva emerged from the bottom of the tub her skin it’s normal silvery pale, there was no sign of the burning anywhere on her skin. The room was filled with a strange thick stem that was vastly disappearing.
“Thank you.” Minerva whispered as she lay back sleepily in the tub.
“What was that?” Albus asked softly trying desperately to regain his breath; he had never seen anything like that.
“I… I don’t know maybe… accidental magic.” She muttered softly avoiding his eyes she never had been able to lie effectively in front of him.
“That was no accidental magic Minerva!” Albus muttered as he rolled up his long sleeve he was not surprised to find a fading hand print against his skin.
“Minerva what just happened?”
“Please, let’s talk about this tomorrow I can’t think right now.” Minerva sighed as she climbed out of the tub and cast a drying charm over her nightgown and skin.
“When ever you say wait till tomorrow I never get an answer. Minerva please have I not proven myself trust worthy?” Albus retorted, his bright eyes twinkling slightly.
“Albus I trust you with every fiber of my being but what you are asking is something that for once you don’t understand.”
“Try me.” Albus answered again moving in front of the doorway to block her exit.
“Excuse me!” Minerva snapped, her worried eyes now returning to the fiery ones he had grown to love.
“Try me, I want to understand.”
“You wouldn’t believe me anyway.”
“Then what’s the harm in telling me.”
“You would think me crazy.”
”I already think you’re crazy.”
“Albus please I don’t want to tell you!” Minerva snapped heavily.
“But I want to know, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened I want to understand.” Albus said soothingly.
“You’ll leave me!” Minerva whispered softly staring intently at the floor.
“Nothing you could say would make me leave you Minerva.”
“Fine but I did warn you!” Minerva snapped, defeated as she perched herself on the rim of the bathtub.

[TheGryffindorSeeker]

[Alesia]

Okay so Minerva has to fess up but what is she really going to tell him?

[LadyJolly]

[angeldust]

And here i welcome the world's biggest bridge chapter! A big thank you to Lady Lavender for beta reading this for me!

CHAPTER 3
Albus would never forget the look of hurt that darkened his lovers face when he began to laugh.
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me.” Minerva whispered in embarrassment she had just thrown away the most important thing currently in her life.
“Minerva, you can’t be serious I agree that was no accidental magic but sorcery is just a legend my dear.”
“NO IT’S NOT!” Minerva yelled furiously she wanted nothing more then to sink into the ground her, he thought she was crazy the love of her life thought she was a liar.
“Minerva if you just want my attention just ask; you don’t have to do that kind of thing…” He bit back the end of his sentence, she looked furious.
“How dare you! I am not a liar! I am not an attention seeker! I knew I shouldn’t have told you!” She flounced out of the room and into their bedroom, Albus readily followed he didn’t understand but he couldn’t let the most important person he had ever met disappear from his life over something so trivial.
“Minerva I know for a fact that sorcery does not exist.” Albus muttered softly as he sat calmly down on their bed and watched as she paced around the room.
“No Albus you have been told that sorcery doesn’t exist just like muggle’s are told magic doesn’t exist.” Albus didn’t answer, she was right he had no proof that sorcery was just a legend but he still had no proof that it wasn’t.
“But it doesn’t make sense Minerva why would no-one know it existed?”
“For the same reasons that muggle’s don’t know we exist, I don’t know how many sorcerers there are for all I know I’m the only one.” He watched as her pacing same to a halt and she turned to face him, she looked so upset he hated to see her like that.
“Please Albus forget I even said anything lets carry on as we where!” Albus couldn’t believe how out of character she was acting could she really be that upset.
“It still doesn’t make sense, why would Gary use this information for blackmail isn’t it a good thing?”
“No Albus it’s not! I can’t control it, if the ministry found out they would lock me up forever. It’s not something everyone has, people would envy me people would want it and I can’t give it to them Albus how would a angry mob act when I say that the power of sorcery is mine alone and I can’t share it?”
“I see.” Albus muttered softly she was right of course, it all made sense but he had been so sure sorcery wasn’t real but if it was it would explain everything. The defeat of Gary, his blackmail on her, the strange supposed accidental magic that happened when Minerva was feeling a strong emotion of any kind, the way she seemed to literally glow when they made love.
“Albus?” Minerva asked softly unsure of what was racing through that genius mind of the man in front of her.
“You really are…” Albus whispered softly. “You really are a sorceress.” And the questions fell from his mouth before he could stop them. What does it do? How did you get chosen? What do you mean by not being able to control it? The last one made Minerva’s face sink from the happy smile that had formed when he had admitted he believed to a frown.
“It only happens when it wants to Albus. When I try to tame it and get control, it explodes and injures who ever is around me. I’ve been reading everything I can get my hands on and I just don’t know how to use it.”

CHAPTER 4

8 years was a long time to wait for revenge. 3 years he had spent sulking in St.Mungos before he was released for excellent behavior (and the use of his charms on that pathetic healer). As soon as he was freed he crawled back to the ministry it had taken 5 years to win back the trust of his so called superiors, Alastor Moody had not made it easy snooping around, spying bloody
paranoid fool. He had watched the news papers with great interest. Minerva, his Minerva had just recently taken a job at Hogwarts School no doubt a pay
rise from the perverted old man she was sleeping with. It would be so much harder to manipulate her now, he could tell by just comparing the recent pictures from the papers to the ones on his wall. She was so confident now; the hot air in Dumbledore’s head was obviously contagious. He guessed Dumbledore knew her dark little secret; it would be hard for him not too.
But the ministry was still blissfully unaware it would be so easy to just push the button and watch the bombs explode. He hadn’t heard from his mother since he was released either and even then all she had talked about was how disappointed she was that the lovely Minerva would not be joining her family.

He hated Dumbledore; his life was so cozy and set up until the almighty famous Albus decided to destroy his nice cozy set up.
“Gary? You wished to talk to me?” The new minister of magic Jack Cornwell asked softly, he was an idiot and very easily manipulated Gary had found this out almost instantly.
“Oh yes minister, it’s about Miss Minerva McGonagall I have some information you may find very interesting.”


8 years, Albus smiled brightly to himself. 8 wonderful years with a beautiful woman who he loved with all his heart. He admitted it had took him quite awhile to get used to the strange power Minerva admitted every now and again, but now it had became quite a normal part of life. They had tried many techniques to control the power nothing seemed to work but they still searched, they still wondered. She was an excellent teacher Albus thought to himself when he heard his office door open and her familiar footsteps in the next room. She was passionate about her chosen subject and cared so deeply about each one of her many students. He was snapped out of his thoughts when his lover collapses onto the sofa next to him.
“Hard day?” Albus asked softly stroking the silky hair he treasured so much, he watched as she slipped into a lying position her head rested softly in his lap, her bright eyes staring up at him.
“James Potter and Sirius Black.” She sighed heavily, Albus couldn’t help the smile that spread over his face they were a regular complaint.
“We were disappearing snails today and those two decided it would be quite amusing to try the same spell out on my skirt luckily it’s only a weak invisibility spell and it stopped at my knees.” He watched as she stared intently at him maybe waiting to use him as anger therapy if he dared laugh.

“Should I be jealous?” He asked softly, tracing her bottom lip with his thumb.
“Of two hormonal teenage boys I think not.” Smiling softly, Albus claimed her soft lips it had been quite a while since they had spent any quality time together. Deepening the kiss Minerva was just about to move herself into a more comfortable position when the knock at the door ripped them apart. Albus instantly missed the feeling of her lips against his, he was quite sure after those 8 wonderful years he knew her lips and body perhaps better then he knew his own not that it was bad thing. He loved being the only man who had the knowledge of how to please her both mentally and physically he felt his ego begin to inflate as he watched her quickly check her appearance in the mirror and open the door, he was the only man who knew how to please her and he was damned sure going to keep it that way. He watched as she smiled cheekily at him before opening the door sometimes he was quite sure she could read his mind with out even trying.
“Thought you might want a heads up.” Alastor growled as he entered the room, and instantly went to Albus’ stash of fire whiskey.

[LadyJolly]

Damn that Gary!!! Lunatic that one is!! I hope Minerva "accidently" uses her sorcery on him ehehehe. I hope Albus and Minerva get through this okay and together

Lady Jolly

[tayryn]

that was an evil place to stop! truly evil! *G*

Gary's back... this does not bode well!

look forward to more...

[JKMcGonagall]

Oh No!!! He's baaaaaccccckkkkkk. Idiot. I hope Min hexes him good, if Albus or Alastor don't beat her to it.

Kay

[Alesia]

Yep, I totally agree, it is time for Min to just blow this fool away once and for all.
