I do not own Harry Potter sadly J.K Rowling’s owns it.
If I did Dumbledore would not be gay…… ect.
Beginning Note: this is my first Harry Potter story I am not going to grantee the spelling or grammar. I don’t have a Beta. I also don’t know if it will be any more than a one shot. If I should continue let me know. Also I have almost completely changed the story line.
Minerva often did odd babysitting jobs during the summer for extra money along with her part time job at Flourish and Blotts. With her mother expecting again after years of trying the family was tight on money.
Somehow she had let herself get talked into babysitting for a friend of a lady she generally worked for. It was just a one time job with only a young girl to watch so she accepted. She arrive promptly at eleven o’clock to the address she had been given.
The house wasn’t extravagant by any means but it was a nice Victorian 2 story mansion. Minerva knocked twice on the door before she got any answer. A rather young woman around her early 40’s answered the door.
`“Aw, good you’re here. Sorry it took so long to answer the door I am already running late. Thank you for taking the job.” She said.
“
That’s alright,” Minerva replied. “I am Minerva”
"How rude of me where are my manors I am Melanie.” Just then a small knee high blur of purple and Auburn hair shot into the hallway.
“And this would be my daughter Anna”
Minerva looked down at the young girl and smiled. “Hello Anna My name is Minerva.”
“Hi.” She ran back in to the sitting room of the house.
“Well Minerva I am sorry I have to leave so quickly and can’t give you a tour but I’m already late.” Melanie exclaimed as she hurried to the door. “Aw yes, I am most forgot the emergence information is on the refrigerator. Flo powder is on the mantle about the fireplace if you need to call someone. And my husband’s brother will be stopping by to pick up some paper work he’ll let himself in he has a key. Tell him the paper work is on the desk in the office he’ll understand. Thanks again” the door shut and she was gone.
Minerva stood there for a few moments wondering what is got herself into. That women was nuts. She decided to head in to the setting room were Anna was. Anna was setting on the floor reading a rather large book.
“What are you reading?” Minerva asked the small girl.
“ A Transfiguration theory”, she replied. “Really”, was all Minerva could say?
Anna looked up and smiled, “yes I am really good at reading and my Uncle is the greatest Transfigurations master ever. One day I’ll be a great wizard just like him.”
This made Minerva laugh. She could truly understand the girls thirst for knowledge and immense liking of Transfigurations. “ Transfigurations is my favorite subject”, Minerva replied.
“Do you go to Hogwarts? What year are you? Can you do magic?” Anna asked wide eyed.
“Well, I go to Hogwarts so of course I can do magic.” Minerva Replied to Anna’s Question. “This September I will be in my sixth year.”
Do you want to color Anna asked? So for the next hour or so Minerva sat on the floor coloring with Anna and just talking with her. At 12:30 Anna started complaining of being hungry. Minerva had Anna show her to the kitchen where she rummaged through the cabinets looking for something easy to make. Eventually she settled on making Mac and Cheese. While Minerva was boiling water for the noodles she heard the sound of a door opening and then heard a masculine voice call out. Anna quickly jumped of the chair she had been setting and ran to the front door laughing and screaming.
Moments later she here footsteps coming down the hall was and the sound of muffled voices talking. She had turned her back towards the door to pour out the water when she heard the man behind her say hello and Anna say that she had a babysitter. Minerva turned around to say hello back and nearly dropped the pot.
Shock was written all over her face and the face of the older gentle man standing in the kitchen. “Professor Dumbledore”, Minerva all but gasped.
“Miss McGonagall”, Dumbledore said as he place Anna on her feet on the floor. “What a pleasant surprise.”
“She is Making Mac and Cheese for lunch” Anna excitedly exclaimed to Albus. “Will you stay and have lunch with us?”
“Anna why don’t you go wash your hands for lunch,” Dumbledore said. Anna Skipped out of the kitchen to wash her hand leaving Dumbledore in the Kitchen with Minerva. When he turned back toward Minerva he noticed she had a slight flush on her cheeks making her look quite lovely.
“I didn’t know you were babysitting my niece, he quietly said.
“I didn’t know I was babysitting your niece till a minute ago either”, she replied
“I would think a last name like Dumbledore would give it away”, He chuckled.
“Melanie did not tell me her last name. she seemed to be in quite a hurry.” Dumbledore raised an eyebrow.
“Well my sister in law does tend to be a little scatter brained”, He remarked. At that moment Anna came back in to the kitchen proclaiming she was ready to eat. Dumbledore laughed at his nieces antics.
"Are you stay for lunch", Anna asked.
“I can’t today Anna but I will see you Friday at Family dinner”, he smiled “and I’m sure I’ll see you around Miss McGonagall”
Dumbledore left the kitchen to retreat the paper work from his brothers office so her could be off will Anna and Minerva sat down to eat their lunch.
Melanie and Anna are my characters I made up…..
So what do you think so far should I continue. All recommendations help but don’t be nasty about misspellings and Grammar errors. I will fix them if you calmly let me know.
