Never Is Our Always

Sleeping In The Hospital Wing 4

(Minnie pov) (continuing from last chapter)

"So, Mum," I say as Dumbledore, Harry, snuffles and I walk down to the hospital wing, she meowed at me, "have you been watching us?"

Whoosh

"As a matter of fact, young lady, I have been," I rolled my eyes as we walked together.

"And?" I ask her, she smiles.

"You're very brave and smart, but-"

Whack!

"Hey!" I barked at her, "don't touch me or even hit me or I'll feed you to Snuffles," I growled.

"You can call him Sirius in front of me, Alice," Dumbledore said.

"No, I like annoying him with Snuffles," I grinned evilly.

"Sirius and I have been watching the pair of you since the start of the year," Mum told us, "ever noticed a cat wandering around?"

"Thought McGonagall had a sister or something," I muttered, Dumbledore heard and laughed at my joke.

"We are friends, yes," she replies.

"Oh, close enough," I muttered.

"And you never thought to tell me about you hooking up with a Weasley," she said and I glare at my mum.

"We aren't hooking up, Mum, he's my boyfriend," I told her, "and I love him, thank you."

"So, you're back together?" Harry asked and I nod. "Haven't you fancied him since your first year?" Harry questioned with a grin as I cleared my throat.

"Who told you that?" I ask him awkwardly.

"Fred did," he answers.

"Proud was he?" I ask, shaking my head as he grins at me.

"Very proud, did you know he hated it when Marcus called you darl in front of him?" Harry asked.

"They all did," I reply, "what a creepy guy Flint was, his cousin is worse though."

"Are you two happy with your mother's meeting?" Sirius asked as he transformed back into himself.

"Yes," Harry and I reply as I then walked alongside Harry.

"I remember how scared you were for your first quidditch practise with Oliver," I told him, "I was so excited to watch, that I..." I leaned into him slightly, "stole the invisibility cloak."

Harry and I exchanged a look at each other.

"Not from you," I told him, "from her room." I motioned to my Mum, "her room was left untouched in our house, so I took it to school for a year."

"I can hear you," Dumbledore told me.

"I only used it for homework though, that's the thing," I sigh, "astronomy is my favourite subject, I have to go out for homework all the time."

"Then why don't you just get a pass from me?" He asked and I laughed, I didn't think about that at all.

"Oh would you look at that, we're here," I chuckle nervously.

Dumbledore chuckles at me as he pushed open the door to the hospital wing. We saw Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Ron, and Hermione grouped around a harassed-looking Madam Pomfrey. They appeared to be demanding to know where Harry was and what had happened to him.

All of them whipped around as Harry, Dumbledore, and the small zoo entered, and Mrs. Weasley let out a kind of muffled scream.

"Harry! Oh Harry!"
