Summary: Minerva and Amelia, preparing for a Samhain party.
Notes: Kiwi, I hope you enjoy.
“I feel like a bloody fool.” Amelia tugged at the bodice of the goldenrod dress she wore.
Minerva smoothed the fabric back in place. “You look fine.” She pressed her lips to Amelia’s cheek, right below the monocle Amelia wouldn’t give up, even for a costume.
How would I see beyond glamours? Even at a Samhain party, she wouldn’t give up all her protections, but Minerva didn’t blame her. It had only been two years since the end of the war. Too soon for anyone to feel safe.
Amelia touched the sword hanging at Minerva’s side, counting each ruby with her fingertips. “Why couldn’t I have the sword?”
“Because I’m the Gryffindor and you’re the Hufflepuff,” Minerva said for the hundredth time. “But you make a wonderful Helga, Madam Bones. If she speaks to you tonight, I’m sure Helga would agree.”
“Whereas Godric would tell you to use his sword properly,” Amelia teased.
Minerva pressed her lower body to Amelia’s. “Of course he would.”
“You do fill out those breeches rather nicely.”
“I hoped you’d say that. But you’ll have to wait until later for fun,” Minerva said, slapping Amelia’s hand away from her arse.
“Then let’s get this party over with, shall we?”
