Harry Potter wasn't the only person who had always expected Professor McGonagall to be there. Irascible and inflexible, perhaps, but always dependably, solidly present. With her father's ironclad moral sense and a heart of gold buried beneath a stern exterior. This story focuses on the inner workings of the woman who was never far from Dumbledore's right hand side.

Sequel to "What I Must Ask You to Do". Family would remain the most important thing in life after the defeat of Voldemort. With new members born and old ones returned, who were intent on recovery. Hiding out in the countryside since the defeat of Voldemort hadn't reduced the interest in Severus Snape. If anything, had only kept everyone in suspense.

Who will love you now, Dumbledore? An exploration of heartache and love's unconditional continuation against every odd. A look at the friendship between Albus and Minerva as they support one another post-Grindelwald and face the rising of a new Dark Wizard. The duel wasn't the end of Albus and Gellert's story.

Minerva had no patience to listen to romantics insist that love could endure anything - she had seen first hand what price her parents had paid for their own mixed-marriage between a muggle and a witch.

He concentrated on arranging his thoughts and putting up shields where appropriate. Snape had dedicated himself to mastering the art of mind defences and it was the only way he possibly stood a chance at surviving. He couldn't waste time on being afraid or lingering on the regrets and resolutions that had brought him to this point. He had made his choices long ago.
