Only you

INSECURITIES

The following week, Hermione had to give her presentation to the ministry, about the new bill of rights for centaurs.

The audience in the wizengamot had been prepared for the presentation and the entire ministry was present, including Ethan Smith, Hermione's ex-boyfriend.

Aurors were standing guard at the gates, inside and out. Harry and Ron, Head and Deputy Head Aurors, were standing guard inside, at the door across from Hermione.

The brunette was received by a warm greeting from the master of ceremony of the event, the word was given to her and she began her presentation.

Her eloquence in speaking immediately captivated everyone, something that only Hermione had managed to do, demonstrating both her intelligence and her diversity of speech.

As the brunette spoke, Harry, still in the guard position with his hands behind his back, looked at her unable to help but smile at the pride he felt for all that his best friend had achieved. She was an incredible woman. He was proud, happy and completely in love with her, his eyes didn't miss anything the brunette did, it was almost hypnotic.

"These beings, they are as intellectually capable as any of us, deserve the same rights that protect us." She was very focused on what she was doing, but she couldn't help but take a fleeting glance towards where Harry was at the door. She had stopped a bit at the moment when a thought assaulted her.

''By Merlin! He looks so handsome, so sexy in his uniform and as a bodyguard!'' thought the brunette, who immediately shook her head slightly and returned to her presentation, without anyone noticing that she had been distracted. The only one to notice it was him, who at that moment had to become completely serious and avert his gaze so as not to distract her, his body took two steps back as he gave a visual overview of the room.

At the end of his presentation, she came down from the podium with an indelible smile on her face, the success of her presentation was burning.

As she was invaded by endless applause they saw her head towards the doors, where a very happy Harry Potter also walked towards her and extended his arms to wrap her and congratulate her.

They broke away from the embrace and Harry cupped her face with his hands...

"I'm very proud of you," he told her smiling.

"Thank you..." Hermione exclaimed, her voice cracking with emotion.

The auror, unable to resist, placed a kiss on her lips, and a collective gasp was heard from all the women present in the auditorium, who clearly idolized the chosen one.

It was well known that Harry had turned down every single woman who had ever approached him because they were interested in him, and had even turned down one veela, that woman that all or most of the men, because it had their exceptions, in the ministry they were drooling.

There were thousands of looks that burned with jealousy, as well as annoying thoughts in all of them, and the applause stopped before the scene, however the couple immersed in their world remained oblivious to the reactions.

The kiss didn't go unnoticed by Smith either, who just grunted, rolled his eyes, and left the auditorium, obviously annoyed.

Harry broke the kiss without leaving her face, smiling against Hermione's lips and letting out a gasp of pleasure that only she heard.

While behind them was Ronald, a little blushed, but with a huge smile on his face since his two best friends had finally decided to make their relationship official and public, even knowing everything that was coming their way for this.
