Despite having blackmailed Rita Skeeter (a.k.a beetle) the Prophet still released an issue with him on the cover, apparently she wasn’t the only reporter. Only difference this article had to all the others was that the picture was of Harry, stepping up to Hermione and brushing her hair back, the loop ending there with Hermione’s eyes wide, cheeks flushed, and Harry smiling softly at her. Of course if it went any further you’d see he wasn’t lovingly tucking her hair behind her ear, but doing her hair (doesn’t really make a difference though, am I right?). "Boy-Who-Loved!’ written in bold letters on the cover. Hermione and he must of been the epitome of Gryffindor with their cheeks bright red as they read the paper, Harry leaning over her shoulder as they shared a copy. They both schooled their reactions and did what would play it off best in their favor, they looked at each other, then burst out laughing as if it was totally ridiculous before (loudly) assuring a pouting and brooding pair of red-heads (Ginny and Ron) that they thought of each other as siblings. Both felt how the word sibling left a sour taste in their mouth and guilt churning in their guts, yet neither told the other even as they both silently slipped a copy into their pocket.
