Poor Minerva, still beating herself up over some ill chosen words. I would probably do the same thing, though.General Dumbledore...I bet he looked just as handsome in his muggle military attire as he does in robes...yummmyyyyyyy!!!!

I absolutely loved the interaction between Poppy, Melina, and Minerva. It's fun to see Minerva and Melina together for some reason...especially when Melina gets wound up about something. Too bad Albus couldn't join them for their "girls outing." That would have truly been a hoot but I'm sure Minerva would have been most uncomfortable. eeep

Oh, the ending to this chapter is ***SOOO SWEET***!!  Albus is absolutely beyond adorable as he comes so hesitantly to her rooms.  They have come so very far in approx 2 weeks!The rest of the chap was great too.  The Knight, Siofre & her husband, Albus feeling bad about the blood-letting.  And his insecurity about his age.  As maddening as it is to Minerva, it's only natural for him to worry--if he didn't worry at all about that, he'd be self-centered.  I wonder--was it the activities in the Heart which lifted the Knight's geas, or was it Albus and Minerva sharing a bed for a full night for the first time, thus really appearing as a couple, which did it?  I almost think the latter.  How much does Johannes suspect about Albus and Minerva?  anything?  And is he perhaps fonder of Minerva than she realizes, and able to admit it to himself now that Gertie is not an option in any way?

I love Egeria and Merwyn. You did a fantastic job of creating Minerva's parents personalities, as well as those of the rest of her family. Murdoch's little teasing song sounds exactly like what I'd expect an older brother to do to his younger sister. Having no siblings of my  own, it's easy for me to laugh at his teasing.

Albus is a man after my own heart. I make lists for a ton of stuff so it seems very fitting and logical to my mind that he should try to assess the situation by looking at it in the form of lists. It was also very enlightening to see Albus thinking back on certain events in which he'd kept Minreva waiting or possibly hurt her feelings. That's the first step in making amends, I'd say.

Sheesh...you're making my life hard here. Do I side with Albus since he truly did get the wrong end of the wand? Or do I side with Minerva, who was speaking out of frustration and misunderstanding?? Decisions, decisions!!!I think I'll straddle the fence on this one. I feel sorry for both of them. Albus appraently did have pressing business but he brushed that aside so that he could make time for Minerva. But by the same token, Minerva must have had this building for quite some time to explode as she did and in such a way as to cause not only herself but also Albus and Poppy embarassment.I think Poppy gave Minerva some rather good advice. Now, let's see what she does with it. haha.TTFN,GLM

“Hmm, interesting idea, Professor McGonagall. Certainly an interesting idea.”Yikes, yikes, and triple yikes. Talk about bad timing all the way around. And of all people to overhear her comments too...   I have a feeling this is just the beginning of a very long and absolutely wonderful story, rich with history and intrigue, forgiveness, and still more troubles but overall A HAPPY ENDING....WOOO HOOOO!!!Off to see what happens next, you Queen of Cliffhangers lolGLM

Loved it! Cheers for posting.

I loved this chapter - it's good to see that Johannes and Malcolm are getting along better!  And Albus coming into Minerva's rooms at the end of this chapter was so sweet!  I can't wait for the next update - great job, as always!

The problem with holidays is that they end all too soon, no matter how long they are.  You are setting something up here, you sly witch.  The Blood Replenishing potion, the wards at the cottage, and the dear Knight's geas.  It has all the trappings of a mystery about to be sprung on us.I shall eagerly await the revelation!

Sniffles...the holiday is over and it's back to business. Guess they couldn't stay in paradise forever...but what a holiday. tee hee. I feel really sad for Siofre and Herbert even though we've seen very little of them in the story. Siofre is a strong woman and no doubt she'll handle everything well but it's sad to sit and watch a loved one die. I'm glad that Minerva and Malcolm are going to visit her.Albus playing the nurse to Minerva is a fantastic turn of events. It's fun to see him getting a chance to take care of her a little after she spent so much time in the past playing "Mother McGonagall" to him. I'm glad she wasn't too hard to convince, though who could truly resist Albus and his charms??? Hagrid's got another jarvey??? Uh oh...that should make life intersting for Hogwarts! Guess that will give him something to take his mind off the fact that Wilhemenia is going to be leaving soon. And if they have babies....oh dear...that should really keep him busy. haha.I was hoping that Albus would ask Minerva to just join him upstairs after her visit with Siofre so I felt my heart pang a little, like Minerva's, when she flooed to her own rooms. But playing the music box until she fell asleep was beautiful. Then, I got a huge grin on my face when Albus showed up in Minerva's room, asking if he could stay. Awwwww...that was so sweet and romantic. The idea of them cuddled together after a long and trying day was perfection!I'm assuming it will be somewhat difficult for them now that school is about to resume but I have no doubts that they'll work out some solution and spend some nights together.Holiday with the Headmaster was a fantastic little side adventure from this story and I know I'll be sad to see this one end just like I was when AAoL and HwtH ended. sniffles. Maybe we can twist your arm and get you to write some one-shots...tee hee.Cheers!GLM

Wow - Albus's trick was amazing!  And I loved how he confided a bit in Minerva about his fears of another Dark Wizard rising.  Great chapter, as always, and please update soon!  I can't wait to read about Albus and Minerva's holiday!

Auburn fur, really? I loved Albus and Malcolm's fight sequence! That was so creative and hilarious. Dolphin flippers and a hundred bagpipes, I ask you! I thoroughly enjoyed Siofre's character, as well as the chance to see Albus display some of that formidable talent he has. I'm so glad you decided to extend the story significantly- it's definitely kept me from going into depression from the end of this story. :)

Wow, that's been a very great duel. Especially Albus' move at the end of the duel has been really impressive. Although it has been quite mean since Malcolm really seemed to be quite schocked and feeling guilty.

Great chapter =D

Oh, my gods!  I almost had a heart attack with the last bit - and the way Albus ended the duel was priceless!  I enjoyed this chapter a lot, and I hope that we see an update soon.  I can't wait to read about Minerva and Albus's holiday!  Great job, as always!

These lemons don't disappoint! Wowww. Can they get any hotter??

*whew*

Got a chuckle out of the fondue. Naturally, Albus would be a fan (I want to use that long French word, but am too distracted to be able to spell it!)

I liked hearing a little bit about Morgan too, we don't know much about him.

I loved the robe that opened down the front and peeled back. Yum! What an image!

This was very emotionally complex, too. There is a lot going on between them in this chapter, and you handled it beautifully, as always.

Sweet Delight, indeed!!

whew......that was HOT. Especially the end with the fantasizing leading to the fucking. And the bit with Minerva being afraid in the storm was sweet. I'm trying to fous on other elements, but this chapter was SO HOT!!!
