Only you

NEW MEMBER

After the incident with the boggart, Harry and Hermione went to the jet's office, so that the brunette could calm down a little more, because her eyes were still very red because of the tears that the sight of the boggart had caused her.

Upon entering the office, the green-eyed man accompanied his friend to sit in one of the chairs in front of the desk, while he leaned against the furniture and put his hands in his pockets.

"Do you want to talk about this?" Harry asked, directing his green eyes towards the brunette, who was slowly raising her face to meet the eyes of her best friend, who was now looking at her with concern and a little blush.

"How am I supposed to be a brilliant witch and can't cast a riddikulus? How am I a fool when it comes to my feelings?"

The brunette got up as her answers started to be defensive, something Harry didn't allow, cutting her off. He was incredulous at her words.

"I don't think you're a fool Hermione, you're still a brilliant witch and I admire you. The boggart caught you off guard, his magic caught you, plus the cupboard was supposed to be locked. Doesn't mean you can't defend yourself against it and I know it. You know perfectly well that if it weren't for you, I would have been dead years ago". The jet answered, seeing how her friend blushed.

Hearing Harry say the last sentence, Hermione couldn't hold back her tears again and threw herself at him in a suffocating hug, feeling Harry wrap his arms around her in response.

Both synchronized the pulse of their hearts, their bodies glued to each other molded, it was such a gratifying hug.

"I don't want to lose you, now you know that my greatest fear is to see you dead. All your life you have been facing danger and now you are an auror and you are exposed to all kind of things". The brunette sobbed, on Harry's shoulders, while he had her wrapped in his arms protectively and gently stroking her head.

"Hermione, you and Ron are the most important people in my life, I don't know if you managed to see my boggart. It was you and Ron dead...I...I don't know what I'd do without you two, without you," Harry confessed, breaking away from the hug and watching Hermione blush again.

"Don't get me wrong, I love Ron, but..." Hermione couldn't finish when interrupted by the green-eyed man.

"I know and I don't doubt it. You just don't do it the same way; I get it and I know you're scared of losing him too. Remember that the boggart can be brutal and not just make you feel afraid. It makes you feel terror and tries to destroy you," Harry explained like a teacher teaching his student, keeping his hands in his pockets and looking at Hermione.

"The boggart, knowing about your feelings, tried to destroy you, caught you off guard and you weren't prepared to block his magic," he continued with his explanation, while Hermione stared at him for several seconds.

Harry was immediately embarrassed as he pointed out his friend's feelings, who just nodded slowly with her face lowered, a little embarrassed.

"Hey, you know I wouldn't say..." Harry was saying, when he was interrupted by her.

"You don't have to clarify anything, Harry. I know you would never call me a mudblood..." the brunette clarified, quickly wiping away a tear that slid down her cheek.

"Never. Harry answered firmly." And about the rest, Hermione..." said the boy, blushing more, if possible, while the girl raised her face and also blushed violently.

"I told you not to clarify anything, Harry. I know it's new for both of us to talk about these kinds of feelings and it's something I have to deal with..." she declared firmly, trying to end the matter.
