Title: The Full Measure of Time
Author: [livejournal.com profile] _hannelore
Characters/Pairings: Poppy Pomfrey/Minerva McGonagall
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~3800
Content: pre-slash
Summary/Prompt: M3: It's not that Character A never thought of being with another woman, it's just that up until now they haven't met anyone who interested them enough to want to put it into practice. Both Poppy and Minerva are well past their hundredth year of life, both of them still at Hogwarts as Matron and Headmistress. When Minerva asks Poppy to teach a class on the healing arts, Poppy is against the idea but soon discovers what drives Minerva's motives. Not only that, but a sudden turn of events make Poppy ask herself why she has chosen a solitary life.
A/N: Takes place long after the last war. Not Pottermore-compliant re: Minerva's backstory. Many thanks for a prompt that inspired this little ficlet and my thanks to the incredibly awesome mods. ♥ to [livejournal.com profile] pauraque for the patient, encouraging beta. Any additional errors are my own.

Title: Life Transfigured
Author: [livejournal.com profile] abigail89
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 dear [livejournal.com profile] weepingnaiad for a very helpful read-through to catch the mistakes. All remaining mistakes are mine, though.

A/N: After so many Scottish winters, I figured once the ladies got the chance to go on holiday, someplace warm and tropical would be very appealing. :D
