The Results

Part Two

McGonagall looked at her now former student. She couldn't deny that she had felt the chemistry between them over these last few months. Hermione Granger had been a great help with the rebuilding of the castle after the battle. Hermione had discussed with the new Headmistress of Hogwarts about taking her NEWTS before the new term began.

McGonagall agreed, but only if Hermione told her why she was in a rush to get her schooling out of the way. Hermione had just given McGonagall a smile and replied with,

"There's somebody I like, but school is in the way of anything happening." And with that, Hermione had left the Headmistress' office. Now it all made sense. She was the one Hermione wished to pursue, but had known that there were rules against students and staff having a relationship of that kind.

"Minerva?" Hermione said softly.

Even though she knew that the two were alone, McGonagall felt the magic of the castle to make sure. Once Minerva was sure they were all alone, she pulled Hermione close to her. With one hand resting against Hermione's waist, Minerva used her free hand to tilt Hermione's chin up. She watched as Hermione closed her eyes and Minerva gently pressed her lips against Hermione's. Minerva felt Hermione wrap her arms around Minerva's neck, deepening the kiss ever so slightly.

Author's Note: I apologize for the delay in uploads. I have recently acquired a job, along with still attending college. Although that is no excuse for not uploading, it is what is happening in my life at this current time. I have a Halloween themed T&P future spoof in the works that should be up within the next few days, as well as writing more chapters for T&P, so that I may post multiple chapters at once to help get back up to speed with things. Once again, I would like to thank all of you for sticking with me through all of this, and I shall try to do better with uploading quicker. Also, as you can tell, this may not be the end of "The Results". There may just be more to come. Thank you for reading, and I shall be back soon! Hopefully...
