Minerva fell back on her bed once she had Apparated them into her bedroom, Hermione following. When air finally became a necessity, and Hermione pulled away to breathe, only then did she realize they were in another room by the change of scenery. She allowed her eyes to wander about the bedroom. It hadn't changed a lot in nine years. Maybe she could after all these years finally continue what they once had begun. She could feel the older woman's fingers tightening and holding onto the material embracing her sides. She averted her eyes down again, but noticed Minerva's earlier grin gone as her rational side fought over her desires. The woman underneath her swallowed, her eyes getting cloudy. Then she suddenly realized Minerva unsuccessfully tried to push her off of her. Hermione frowned and obeyed, moving her leg over the Headmistress' body and lying down next to her instead.
"I'm sorry, Hermione," she whispered. "I don't know what came over me, and why I Apparated us here…" She began pushing herself up, but Hermione – even though still slightly inebriated – caught her arm to stop her. Their eyes inevitably connected, and Minerva looked like a deer caught into the headlights, for momentarily having let her emotions take over. "Ditzy interrupted me, while I was responding my correspondence. I should finish that first and then have a bath or shower. I'll ask her or another House Elf to see you to your rooms, and give you something so you'll not be too hangover in the morning," she continued, detaching herself and pushing herself to the edge of the bed.
"Why do you hide so much underneath Hogwarts business?" Hermione interrupted, her unique hazel eyes suddenly very clear as she watched Minerva's figure stiffen. "Why don't you ever allow your emotions to just… let go, and…" She sighed, interrupting herself and shaking her head. "If you really want me, then why don't you… take me?"
Minerva rose, whirling about to look at the younger Gryffindor. "Hermione. You have consumed a full bottle of old malt and that on your own. I will not take advantage of the way the level of alcohol in your blood makes you feel right now. I will not have you on these terms. I have made enough mistakes concerning you back in the days, and no matter what or how I feel about it, I…" she began.
Hermione slowly crawled to the edge of the bed, reaching up to lay a finger over the elder woman's lips. "Minerva. I want you. The only mistake happening was me leaving you and getting married to Ron." Minerva sighed and closed her eyes, again sitting down on the edge of the bed, opening them. Hermione consciously averted her eyes to look at Minerva's shaky hands and moved to hold them within hers, squeezing them. Hermione tentatively reached to touch the elder lady's cheek, and Minerva intuitively closed her eyes once again, sighing in satisfaction while leaning into the touch. "Listen, Minerva. We don't have to do anything you don't want, but… My feelings about you won't change when I'm sober, and if you really love me …"
"I… I'm sorry," she whispered, one tear slipping down from beneath her lashes and running down over her cheek once her eyes opened. "I have tried nine years – hopelessly – to forget about what I felt. If my mother or father, could see me now, they would …" Even though still slightly intoxicated, Hermione was intelligent enough not to push upon that. Minerva inhaled, looking down on their entwined hands and slightly squeezing Hermione's.
Hermione weakly smiled up at the other witch. "I love you, and I have patience. I'd never push you into anything you don't want to."
"I know," Minerva whispered. "I knew, that you would turn into a fine young witch one day, but I never would have imagined you like this."
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked, a tendril of her hair escaping. She intuitively reached up to tuck it back, but Minerva was faster, tucking it with the other strands again with such tenderness that she even surprised herself with it. It had been a very long time since Minerva McGonagall had been like this with anyone – well over half a century if she wasn't sadly mistaken. She wouldn't have believed she was still capable of being so openly loving with another. Hermione smiled, too. She turned aside her head to kiss Minerva's palm as she retracted.
"You're an amazing young woman, Hermione. I would have anticipated quite a lot of you, ever since you walked into the Great Hall for the first time and got sorted into Gryffindor, but you have successfully surpassed my expectations," she whispered, speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm not all that, Minerva."
"You are," Minerva replied, and hazel connected with teal green on a far higher level than ever, "to me," she finished.
Hermione sighed. "I'll return to my rooms," she whispered, getting up. "I'll let you finish responding your correspondence."
"Hermione…" Minerva spoke, as Hermione stood to face her, and they were only mere inches apart. Both women's breaths hitched, as they once again felt the electricity that sparked between them if they were really close like that. She slowly leaned in, eyes inevitably falling shut as their lips touched, then retracting. "Please. Stay," she whispered. "I won't take long," she said, "and …" air caught in her throat, and Hermione saw that she was having difficulties with saying that what she wanted to say. She tentatively reached to lay her hand across Minerva's heart, and that seemed enough for her to calm; that candid touch was enough. "Maybe you could join me in bathing afterward," she finished.
Hermione's mouth opened a couple of times. "I'd like that, but I don't want to push you."
This time Minerva calmly covered the younger witch's lips with a finger. "You don't."
