Chapter 1 – The news
As she read that Wilhelmina would come back to school she could not believe it. But there they were, the letters, on the shaking parchment in her hand, on which Dumbledore announced the staff changes for the coming year. She sat down because all of a sudden her legs did not want to carry her any more. The same parchment also promoted her to Head of Gryffindor house, but she did not even realize this.
Wilhelmina had been in her sixth year already, as Minerva started her magical education in Hogwarts. Oh, how much difference five years make at that age! Minerva wished she would have learned to know her better as they were still in school, or had taken her chance later.
They had worked together as she was still working for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, short after Minerva had to part from McGregor. Her wonderful Wilhelmina had been called into a case as expert, because a crazy suspect had successfully crossbred snakes with Devil’s Snare, a more than deadly combination. During the case they had developed a warm friendship until… yes until Minerva realized that it was more than just friendship that drew her towards Wilhelmina.
It has not been the time and place to be open about such things, so she was more than confused about these feelings. Wilhelmina loved to dress rather androgynous and old fashioned. In her vests, tight pants and high boots under her open robes she had always looked fantastic, and it didn’t take long that Minerva had thoughts forming in the back of her mind about wanting to touch her hair and wrapping her arms around her waist. She did not know where these feelings came from, and what she should do with them, so she let the contact grow cold after the case was closed.
Shortly after that case she had given up her job with Law Enforcement to take over as Transfiguration teacher in Hogwarts, where she had been teaching for twelve years now. And Wilhelmina had always been with her, in her imagination. After their contact had stopped her fantasies had been her guilty pleasures. All these daydreams of warm skin, of laughter, of having someone she could share all her secrets with, her thoughts about some students she would love to throw out of the window, while touching her, kissing her, taking her into her arms.
And now this.
“Since Professor Allerby is still recovering from the Manticore bite he got on his trip to Greece this summer, we are happy that Professor Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank can take over his classes for the next months. Please welcome her warmly and make sure she….”
Minerva let the parchment sink and looked out of the window. In two days Wilhelmina would be here. What, if she slipped? What, if Wilhelmina read her thoughts? How could she survive being in one room with her? This was the first time in her life that made her wish she was far, far away from Hogwarts. She was 46 years old and feeling like a silly teenager.
“Heads up, walk straight, competence, confidence!” she thought to herself, as she guided the first years towards the great hall. Never before had these big doors looked so dreadful. Almost as pale as her overwhelmed students she made step after step, careful not to slow down from her usual pace. As she stepped through the door she forced herself to keep her head up, and she caught a glimpse at the head table. Ohgoodmerlintheresheis. Right between Professor Flitwick and an empty chair. Her chair.
She forced herself to look down on the students as the sorting hat was gathered, and she stepped up to the head table to put it on the first years’ heads, while trying not to look at Wilhelmina. Her head was spinning, her thoughts were racing. She barely noticed the hat sorting “Potter, Lily” into Gryffindor, her new house, and “Snape, Severus”, a boy that could really use some shampoo, into Slytherin. She would have to sit down soon, she thought, maybe she should pretend to be sick? The way her stomach was acting up this would not be far from the truth. But then she could not guide her first years to her house for the first time. The hat had now sorted “Wallace, Catherine” into Hufflepuff, and she realized, horrified, that this was the last student to be sorted.
“Thank you, Minerva”, Dumbledore said as he came up towards her, “Take a seat, I will make it short” he winked, and started his usual speech.
