I really like the glimpses you give us here, in a relatively short story, of the long relationship between Minerva and Rolanda, from the image of Minerva in animagus form on Rolanda's bed to Minerva calling her "Hooch" at the end. They're lovely details that really add to the story.
I've always wanted to see more about this missing moment, as well, so it's great to see it from the POV of a lover. I liked the comparison you drew between caring for someone because you love them and caring out of duty.
