23 Blossoming Bliss
Moody had moved outside the castle’s grounds, clear of any magical influence as he had crossed the Magical boundaries where he swore up a blue streak about Dumbledore and his manipulations.
It was seconds to midnight as he slouched preparing to return home. Before he did his magical eye swirled and he broke out into a smile. His eye had alerted him to a dangerous situation coming from behind.
“Minerva,” he mouthed as his face broke into a hopeful smile as a hand clamped hard on his shoulder.
Minerva was not too late as she reached Alastor and she touched him to turn him around. Without uttering a word she was in his arms and they were kissing.
Knowing Minerva was not on duty and still on holiday’s Moody took a chance and kissed her and was glad to discover that she too had wanted the kiss just as much as he. Neither heard the chimes of the new year being rung in around Scotland as they had apparated away to Alastor’s secret kept home.
