I told myself I wasn't going to take on the Fanfic 100 Challenge, that I had too much to do already, but I did it anyway. So here's the first one, Sunrise. I thought that was a pretty good place to start. I will try to add more when I get a chance...some will be drabbles, others may end up to be quite a bit longer, I don't know. I want to keep them all together in one collection rather than making them individual stories; I hope that's allowed on this site. So here I go, leave a review if one of these catches your eye...I'd appreciate any feedback!

And no...I'm not JKR and I don't own these characters!

(For those of you who don't know...this challenge is based on 100 word prompts. If you want more info, pm me or send me an email and I'll fill you in.)


#31 Sunrise

"Minerva, wake up, you have to see this!"

Minerva McGonagall groaned into her pillow and shrugged off her husband's attempt to get her up.

"Minerva!" Albus was pleading now.

"Albus Dumbledore, it's bloody five in the morning," she told him, her voice muffled by the pillow.

"You can go back to sleep in a minute, Minerva," he told her, "please just get up."

Minerva sighed. She could never tell him no.

"Fine."

Minerva rolled out of the bed and stood wearily, waiting for Albus to show her whatever it was that had him so excited. He took her by the hand and led her over to one of the large windows in their bedroom.

"There," he said softly, pointing out the window at the sky. Minerva gasped.

It was the most beautiful sunrise she had ever seen. The sky was streaked with bold pink and purple slashes across a backdrop of pale yellow. The sun was just peeking out from the tops of the trees in the Forbidden Forest and it dusted the top of the trees with a gentle coating of yellow light. The view was perfect and Minerva knew that they were probably the only ones in the castle who were seeing it.

"Thank you Albus," she whispered softly.

He smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of her head as she snuggled into his arms and they watched the rest of the sunrise together.
