fandom_stocking
It was the quiet time between Christmas and New Years, the few students remaining in the castle were firmly ensconced in their common rooms and the entire staff had breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Remus had taken his marking to the staffroom, needing to get work done but no longer able to stand the confines of his rooms. He got halfway through his stack before the sound of the door opening made him blink and look up.
"Diligent as ever, I see," a familiar Scottish brogue commented, and Remus turned to smile at his former Head of House.
"How are you finding your first term of teaching?" she asked, taking the seat next to him.
"Quite well, Professor," he responded with a smile.
McGonagall made a tsk-ing sound. "Nah, Remus, we're colleague now. You must call me Minerva."
"I'll try, Pr-Minerva."
"There you go, lad. But I do understand," she said conspiratorially, "it took me over a decade before I could call Albus by his name. So tell me about your term," she requested in a more normal tone.
Remus smiled and complied, basking in the sense of warmth and belonging.
