Characters/Pairings: Minerva McGonagall, Poppy Pomfrey, Irma Pince, Horace Slughorn, Molly & Arthur Weasley, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and original characters
Rating: General
Word Count: ~5300
Content/Warning(s): Arthur Weasley is close to death, but he never appears in the story.
Summary: Retirement is sometimes not easy, especially if one has held a job that they truly loved. For Minerva McGonagall, Professor and Headmistress of Hogwarts, easing into a life beyond the castle means adjusting to not being needed.
Prompt: How does the magical world care for its elderly, especially when the elderly decide they can no longer effectively live on their own. A nursing home? An "assisted living" community? etc. What is life like in retirement in the wizarding world?
A/N: Having wrangled with these issues, and continue to consider them in real life, I wanted to write this part of Minerva’s story. Many, many thanks to my dearweepingnaiad for a very helpful read-through to catch the mistakes. All remaining mistakes are mine, though.
