Sunday 30th April 2000 - The Minister's Manor, 10 Dowling Road – Kingsley's Bedroom

Hermione awoke on Sunday morning to find her boyfriend of nearly a year curled around her possessively sleeping. She smiled as she curled into his warmth and smiled. This is how it should be every day she thought.

'Go back to sleep Hermione.' Kingsley mumbled as she pulled her to his chest.

Hermione smiled and kissed his bare chest. 'I can't.' She whispered.

'It's too early to get up.' He said

'It's 10am.' She replied.

'Well I've only had five hours sleep thank to you, you randy girl.' He smirked with his eyes still closed.

'It wasn't all my fault.' She said as she leaned up and pouted at Kingsley who had now opened his eyes looking at Hermione.

'I suppose.' He said as he stretched his long body out.

'Do you have to work today?' Hermione asked.

'I work every day Hermione, you know that but it will only be for an hour or two.' He said kissing her palm.

Hermione smiled and laid her leg across his waist and sat up to straddle him. She leant down and kissed the handsome man in front of her eyes and smiled. 'I wish we had gone to the beach last night; I would have woken up as your fiancé.'

'Soon.' Kingsley said.

'So this means that everyone will know.' Hermione said

'Everyone.' Kingsley said smiling. 'I want the world to know you're mine Hermione Granger.'

Hermione smiled and kissed Kingsley. 'I want to be your forever.' She whispered.

The Minister's Manor, 10 Dowling Road – Office

Hermione snuck her head around the office and frowned when she saw Rita Skeeter and Arthur Weasley.

'Come in Hermione.' Kingsley said.

Hermione opened the door fully and stepped in to find more Ministry members.

'It hit the news.' Kingsley said as he held up a newspaper with a private picture of Kingsley and Hermione kissing and in a rather unfortunate position.

'It's alright dear, we'll sort this.' Arthur said.

Hermione smiled weakly and walked to the desk and picked up one of the papers and read.

Prime Minister Shacklebolt and his young Heroine Love

Kingsley Shacklebolt has found love in Hermione Granger. The two have been in a secret relationship since she was a school girl at Hogwarts. It has been reported that the late Headmaster let the then Auror into Hogwarts to spend the night with the then Minor.

Now that Ms Granger (soon to by Shacklebolt) is a university student who is near to finishing her degree their relationship can be open to the public.

The couple are reported to be getting married in the summer of this year. We wonder if the young Ms Granger is expecting already.

'That's bullshit!' Hermione said as she looked at Kingsley 'We were not involved while I was at school and I am not expecting.'

'We know that but reporters want anything that will sale.' Kingsley said as she held Hermione's hand.

'Who wrote this?' She asked.

'An unknown reporter.' Ms Skeeter said as she looked up.

'Ms Skeeter is here to do a proper report for us.' Kingsley said.

'Can I speak with you alone for a minute?' Hermione said.

'Of course.' Arthur said. 'Let's give them a few minutes peace.' He said as he ushered everyone out.

'Who did this Kingsley?' Hermione said as she seated herself on his lap when it was only them in his office.

'Jessica.' He said. 'Pictures of us, private pictures have been released to the press Hermione. Some of them are indecent images.'

'Indecent!' Hermione nearly screamed. 'What do you mean by that?'

'Some of them, you are topless and others we are having sex.' He said as he looked at Hermione who burst out crying.

'Darling, its okay, come on. I have sorted this. They haven't been published; I managed to stop them before that happened.' He said as he pulled her into his chest.

'What else has been said?' She asked in a feebly voice.

'Lies, complete lies.' He said as his kissed her head. 'We are going to set the record straight and sort this mess out.'

'What are we going to say?' She asked.

'Rita has agreed to write a formal report for us.' He said.

'Why would she do that?' Hermione said wary of Skeeter.

'She's being paid an awful lot Hermione.' He said rubbing her back soothingly. 'we're going to do a joint interview and set the record straight.'

'Okay.' She said as she snuggled deeper into Kings.

The rest of the day was spent being interviewed by Rita and doing press photos of the couple. Hermione felt like she was in a dream. Everyone wanted to know everything about their relationship, their private life and how they got to together. It was all too much.

By the end of the day they were both exhausted. Kingsley and Hermione ventured back to his bedroom and lay on the bed together.

'I'm dreaded tomorrow's papers.' She said

'It will be fine.' He said as he turned on his side to look at Hermione.

The Minister's Manor, 10 Dowling Road – Kingsley's Bedroom - 10:30pm

The Prime Minister and the his love – Rita Skeeter

Reports hit the news yesterday of the Prime Minister and his young love Hermione Granger; most of which were fake and reported wrongly. I sat down with the couple yesterday for a official report.

Both looking very much in love, I interviewed them in the Prime Minister's private office. They sat side by side on the leather sofa; the PM had his comforting arm around Ms Granger the whole interview while former school girl Ms Granger had her delicate and manicured hand on his knee. They seemed the perfect couple.

The first question I asked was how the news had affected them. Poor Ms Granger was most upset that pictures of them had been released. Her Handsome other half comforted her as tears escaped her eyes. The Prime Minister was angry that one of his trusted staff had released the photos and the said employee was fired.

Their relationship began after the War. Both had feelings before but could never act of their feelings due to the War which was coming soon. After they fell into each other's arms both seeking comfort.

As for an engagement, The Prime Minister was tight lipped; we think it may be soon. Children? Not for a little while Ms Granger replied.

'It's good.' Hermione said a little surprised.

'Of course it was, I pre-read it before it was published. I made her take a few things out.' Kings said.

'I love you, you know that.' Hermione said as she kissed him.

So what you think?
