Word Prompt ~ Friends
Albus Dumbledore sat on the stool inside the Hog’s Head, well after closing, staring at his drink. How did I allow this to happen?
“It’s not going to drink itself you know?” Aberforth stopped wiping the bar and stood in front of his brother.
“Of that I am sure, dear brother.” Albus heaved a sigh.
“What’s on your mind?” Aberforth poured himself a drink and came around the bar. Albus didn’t come in much, but when he did, it was usually with good reason.”
“Life.”
“Life, Life is on your mind. What about life exactly?”
“Love, Abe.” Albus looked up from his drink and into his brother’s equally blue eyes. “I think I’m in love.”
“You’re in love? And this is a reason for you to stare at your drink? Albus, I must say I’m confused.”
“I’m in love…with a student.” Albus’ admission was only a whisper.
“A student! What in the world would possess you to fall for a student?”
“I don’t know. It just happened.” Albus got off the bar stool and stared pacing the room. First, we were just your normal student and teacher, and then she started to come to me for private lessons. I became her mentor. Then we became closer. We became friends. We would have tea or play a game of chess after our lessons. I didn’t ask for this it just happened.”
“What are going to do?”
“I don’t know.”
“What her name?”
“It’s better if you don’t know. If we are caught it could be disastrous for all involved. I would want anything to happen to you.”
“Albus, I really don’t think it’ll matter.”
Albus thought about for a moment. Aberforth studied him closely. “Minerva. Her name is Minerva.”
Aberforth saw a twinkle appear in his brother’s eyes and it that moment he knew what Albus was heading for. “You’re going to pursue this, aren’t you?”
“Yes, Aberforth. I am.” Albus picked up his drink and finished it. “I am.”
