I couldn't agree more with Cindy. I think that when
Dumbledore does tell Minerva she would act about the
same as Hermione would. I think that she will be
shocked, insulted because he didn't mention it sooner,
but wouldn't betray Dumbledore's trust. I can see the
comment "Hmph, Men" coming out of her mouth. I also
think that with all of the Major law breaking that
Dumbledore is doing will result in punishment
(possibly Azkaban) but have little basis for that
opinion. I think that Minerva would want to jump to
conclusions but has demonstrated that she has her wits
about her and would take the time to listen to the
whole story. Thats what I like about her she is
sensible, practical and always looking for a way to
help a Gryffindor.
