“You must be wondering why I have come to you,” he smiles with such confidence, Minerva nearly agrees on the spot. But she is, if nothing else, a woman of practicality and as charming as he might be, as much as she had loved him during her time at school, she has yet to hear a real reason to commit to this insane offer.

“Albus Dumbledore. I know what you want,” Nicholas answers before she can, coal sodden hands set about his hips. Albus chuckles. 

“Please. I do not mean to alarm you or raise your distrust - I simply believe you and I, the three of us, can make wonders of this world. We three belong in Hogwarts, to nurture the real talent these generations onwards have to offer. Minerva, I remember your extraordinary talent and Nicholas, your ingenious mind can --” 

Nicholas held up a hand, unamused. “I have my own projects. And what’s more besides, I am only a chemist. I never did have the stomach for rebellion and disinterest.”

                                        ‘ ——— don’t you try and bloody charm me, you bastard! ’ she hits his chest, and she is not gentle, as she usually is when she does so playfully. she steps towards him, down the last steps of the stairs, and she hits him again, and again, and god help her, she wants to slap him again. the angry red mark on his cheek not satisfying enough for her. ‘ how dare you! how absolutely dare you, disappear for months, not a single bloody word, and then come back here, hoping for what? for me to throw myself at your feet—- ’ she hits him again, and again.

                                        ‘ and beg for a quick shag?! oh, you are in so much trouble. i should– i should–! ’ she makes a disgruntled angry noise, turning her back on him, tightening the knot of her nightgown. ‘ where the fuck were you, harry? what the fuck were you doing that was so important you couldn’t spare a few minutes to write me? ’ she turned to face him again, hands on her hips. he’d know he’s in trouble, by that alone.

(  ah. well, now. here he’s made a mistake. a very rather big not good mistake.    perhaps he shouldn’t have come back, or eased himself into the conversation    a bit better - somewhere public, even, with an unlikely risk of such physical     bodily harm. seven bloody hells she isn’t half strong.  )

        “  don’t be daft, of course i’ve not come here for that  --  “

(  not that he’d have objected -- oh, sort you life out you great big prat and say    something!  )

          “  hermione -- hermione, i’m -- OI!  “

(  he shouts and claps his hands on her shoulders, willing her to look at him     and stop her barrage.  )

          “  -- i’m sorry. alright? i’m really... i’m really, really bloody sorry.              just had to get out of london for a little while, and i know i should              have kept in touch, i know i should have written or rang, but --              the longer i was away, the more i thought you hated me and the              more i thought you hated me, the more it made me want to stay              away. things aren’t -- things never go right when i’m around. i               thought it’d be best to just disappear for a little while. i’m sorry.  “
