Title: The Attacking Toad, hahaha

info: So I was watching OotP and I just love everything with McGonagall and Umbridge, so my imagination is going wild so I decided to have fun.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned, but I sadly don’t
Summary: Umbridge gets on Minerva’s bad side, and Albus helps her deal, will this blossom into something more??
Part 1 of 2

“Okay class today we are going to transfigure your animals into quills, so if you would…” Professor Minerva McGonagall was interrupted by someone. With a wave of her wand she opened up the door, there stood Delores Umbridge. She walked into the room, surveying it and taking notes. Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at their transfiguration teacher, her lips got thinner than they have ever seen. Minerva fixed the best smile she could work up for this so called professor, and talked politely. “What can I do for you Delores?” Delores just smiled, “Nothing, just observing.” She smiled that smile that made Minerva cringe. She had to teach the rest of her class while Umbridge analyzed her. She walked back to her rooms, venting the entire way about that toad. She entered her room and sat on the chair drained. A soft knock came at the door. Not wanting to get up she waved her wand and the door opened to show a handsome blue-eyed wizard staring at her.


“Hello Minerva, how is everything going?” He asked, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement, he knew that is best friend wasn’t in a good mood, but just wanted to have a little fun. Minerva sighed as Albus took his seat across from her. “I hate the ministry, they had to send somebody like Delores here to screw everything up.” She flicked her hair back reminding him of an agitated cat. He smiled at this, but earned a glare from Minerva, “And what, may I ask, is so amusing? You like me like this?” His smile got wider and he took one of her hands in his. “No, you just remind me of your ananimagus form, that is all.” She smiled at him and squeezed his hand. She then got up and moved to the window, “Do you know what she said to me?” He shook his head and looked at her at the window, encouraging her to go on. “I told her I didn’t like the way she disciplines in the class room, and she said ‘to question my actions is to question the ministry and the minister. And it questions your loyalty.’ I was not put into Gryffindor for NOTHING. I just don’t like what she is doing…and….Albus, are you even listening to me?” He looked at her and was mesmerized; the fading sun was hitting her just right and the place, illuminating her face and her hair was falling out of her bun. He shook his head, “Of course my dear, I heard every word, just give her a few days, I as well am getting tired of hearing about all the things she is doing to our staff and students.” She smiled and the dinner bell rang. “Shall we?” he asked, his eyes shining at her, arm extended, “yes, we shall.” She took his arm and went down to the Great Hall.

I have to put this into two posts because it is really long.

Trelawney sighed as Umbridge asked yet another horrible question. “Now dear are you able to predict something?” She looks at Umbridge and says, “Yes, yes I see, you are in grave danger. Beware.” Umbridge looks at her smugly and says “Lovely” and walks out. Unknowing to her, Umbridge is ready to make her staffing decision. As she is walking along the hall she notices a tabby padding along the corridor, she looks at it and realized that it is Minerva. “Minerva, dear, what are you doing?” Minerva slowed down her pace but didn’t fully stop. “How did she know it was me?” she sighed and stopped, looking as stern as possible, she transformed into a not-so-happy transfiguration teacher. “Yes Delores?” “Hello to you to dear, I was just wondering if you have Dumbledore around.” She stopped herself from rolling her eyes, “Professor Dumbledore is at the ministry and won’t be back for some time.” Umbridge smile sweetly, “perfect, simply perfect.”


“Professor McGonagall, Professor come quickly.” Harry ran into her classroom, panting as he stopped in front of her desk. She looked up at Harry, slightly worried. “it is Professor Umbridge, she…” Harry didn’t need to finish because Minerva was already up and walking to the door. She turned to Harry, “Where is she Potter?” He started to follow her out of the class, “out on the court yard, Professor.” She nodded and the hurried out to the courtyard where all the students have been gathered. “16 years Hogwarts has been my home, you can’t just take me away.” Trelawney said, there was a slight quiver in her voice, “I am sorry Sybil but indeed I can.” Just then Minerva walked out towards Sybil; she took her in her arms and stared coldly at Delores, “Would you like to say something, Professor?” Minerva grunted, “There are a few things I would like to say, but I can’t.” The students never heard this side of Minerva, her Scottish brogue more dominant, her eyes were the coldest anyone has ever seen. Delores smirked, “Well, my dear, there is no point in arguing, she shall leave…” She couldn’t finish because they the Great Hall doors opened and out comes a not-so-happy headmaster. “Minerva, please escort Sybil back into the school.” Minerva shot a look to Delores and started walking toward Albus. Sybil grabbed his hand and thanked him over and over again. He smiled and put a hand on Minerva’s shoulder. Then Sybil and herself walked back into the great hall, leaving Albus to deal with Delores.


After dinner Minerva was walking toward his office, she hadn’t seen him at dinner and wanted to thank him for helping Sybil. She gave the password, lemon meringue, and walked up the spiral stairs. She gave three knocks and the doors opened. As she walked in she saw Albus smiling at her. “good evening Minerva.” She smiled and sat in her favorite chair. “Good evening to you too Albus, how are you doing?” Albus looked at her strangely, “I am good my dear, why do you ask?” She blushed, “Well you missed dinner and I wanted to make sure everything was fine.” He smiled, “well thank you for your concern my dear.” She smiled, something rarely seen by anyone other than Albus. He got up and walked over to her, “What is the matter Tabby?” She looked at him, and gave a small smile, “Potter came in and told me what was going on with Umbridge, and that made me so mad, she has no right to do that, not one at all, I knew there was something up when she asked me where you were earlier.” He took her hand in his, “I knew there was something wrong, I could feel it, and I am glad I got there when I did, or I would be minus two teachers.” He laughed and she joined in. “That is very true Albus, very true, which is also why I came, I wanted to thank you for saving her, even though I have divination, I have grown to really like Sybil.” She smiled, but then took a sharp breath; she did realize how close they really were. She looked into his sparkling blue eyes and did the last thing either of them suspected, she kissed him. He was shocked, but not at all unhappy, he was about to kiss back when she pulled away. Her eyes were wide and she just sat there for a second. “I….I….I have to go.” With that she fled. Albus went to chase after her, but realized that she had changed into her tabby form. “dammit.” He muttered, and started to find her.

part 2

Minerva fled, she ran out the doors of the castle and into the forbidden forest. She stopped at a small clearing that she and Albus had shared lunches. She smiled inwardly as she remembered how she came to find this place. “Come on Minerva, what is the worst that could happen?” Xiomara asked, she and Minerva were walking down by the Forbidden Forest, “no, no, no, did I mention….no?” Mara just laughed, “Come on Min, let’s go.” And with that Mara ran in. Minerva muttered under her breath, and ran in after her. “Mara, come back, Mara…Mara? Where are you Mara?” she looked everywhere, but couldn’t find her. She was becoming scared, even though she had been sorted into Gryffindor, she hated the forbidden forest with passion, she saw a clearing and ran for it, but she tripped and fell and twisted her ankle, she was stuck. She started to cry, it was getting darker. Meanwhile Mara walked up nervously to Dumbledore’s office, she knocked on the door, and walked in, “Good evening Miss Hooch, what may I do for you?” she laughed nervously, the she proceeded to tell him that she ran into the Forbidden Forest and that Minerva ran after her and that they got lost, and that she thinks that Minerva is still in there. He looked at her, and then ran out of his office, leaving Xiomara there, standing. He ordered Snape to get all the student into the Great Hall and Armando and the rest of the staff went into the forbidden forest to find her. Minerva calmed herself when she heard a crack, she spun around to see Professor Dumbledore looking at her, she started crying as he ran to her, and he hugged her tightly. “I...I...” “It is okay Miss McGonagall, don’t worry.” As they stood, she started to fall back down, he smiled, “Okay, let’s get that ankle checked out." As she changed back into her human form, she cried like she did before, soon she heard that familiar crack and saw the same person she saw, a good 20 years earlier.



Minerva looked into Albus’s face, and turned away. Albus walked over to her, “Minerva, look at me.” He moved her face to look at him, “Tabby, why did you run?” She sniffed and looked into is blue eyes, “because I was scared, that I ruined our entire friendship, I have loved you since, well, since the first time we were out here.” As soon as she said that she clasped her hands over her mouth. “I am so sorry I…” she didn’t have a chance to finish because his lips were on hers, when he pulled back she looked dazed. “Tabby, I love you too, don’t ever doubt that.” She smiled and kissed him, the passion took over. As they walked back to his room, they ran into Delores, “Hello, headmaster, Minerva.” Albus just nodded, and Minerva looked at her, the next thing they all know, a tabby cat is chasing and biting a toad. Later that night I satisfied tabby is lying on Albus’s lap. “My dear, where is Delores?” Minerva looked up and changed into her human self and cuddled into his embrace, “I sent her to Poppy, she should help her, and she doesn’t remember a thing.” She smiled and looked at her one true love. “Have I told you that I love you?” He smiled, “yes, but I love hearing it again.” They kissed and somehow made it to the bedroom, to get a not so restful sleep.




the end, hoped you enjoyed it
