ACCIO RIGHTS TO HARRY POTTER AND CRIMINAL MINDS! *Swings stick around and pokes herself in the eye* Drat I guess that did not work. Oh well I will be content to not owning Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.
Hermione was dressed and ready to go meet up with her friends by 10:30 the next morning. Even though her elbow no longer hurt she still put it in the sling just to be safe. She decided to drive to the entrance of Dragon Street, that way if by the off chance anyone tried to go to her apartment they would see she was not there. On normal days Hermione could not enjoy Dragon Street. Since her job required her to have her cell phone on her at all times she had to stay away from the magical interference. However Hermione knew that Hotch would not be calling her in this week no matter how many times she told him she was fine. If anyone did try to call her she would get the message after she left Street.
The entrance to Dragon Street was an old store front on the outskirts of the city. To muggles it looked abanonded, but to anyone who was magical you could see through the window right onto the street.
By the time she got to the building it was 5 till 11. Hermione decided to go straight to the floo connection ports to wait for her friends.
At exactly 11 am the farthest fireplace in the row light green as Ginny Potter stepped out.
"Mione!" The pregnant women screamed as she grabbed her friend around the shoulders and gave her a hug "I have missed…. WHAT IN THE NAME OF GODRIC HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM?"
"Hey Gin I have missed you too. And it is nothing I will tell you all at lunch." Hermione said as she looked for the others.
"Hello Hermione it is good to see you again. I hope the wartspurts have been leaving you alone. They tend to like this climate." Luna Lovegood said as she joined the two women and gave Hermione a hug.
Hermione loved Luna. Even though for the most part she talked about made up creatures, Hermione had to hand it to her, she really could see things others tended to avoid.
"Wotcher Mione… Oh Merlin what have you done now?" The voice of Nymphadora Lupin nee Tonks rang out in Hermione's ear.
Hermione pulled away from Luna and gave the pink haired Auror a hug.
"Let's go to the restaurant and I will tell you all what happened there after we order." Hermione said linking arms with Ginny and Luna.
The group of women soon found themselves seated in a nice restaurant called 'The Dragons Tooth'. It was a nicer restaurant but still casual enough for the women.
After they had ordered Ginny turned to Hermione. "Okay spill. You have a week off of work and your arm is in a sling. I don't have to be an auror to know something happened."
Hermione sighed as she took a sip of her lemonade and she started to tell them the story.
When she reached the end of it every women's face held a different reaction. Tonks' face looked almost proud. Ginny's looked horrified, while Luna's held just a pleasant smile.
"I can't believe you got hurt and you did not tell us right away!" Ginny exclaimed as the tears were building in her eyes. "You are the Godmother to our son and you are putting yourself at risk!"
"Umm Gin I don't mean to sound mean or anything but isn't Harry an auror?" Hermione asked
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Yelled Ginny who was in tears by now. "You never talk to us anymore and then we have to find out you were hurt on a job AFTER the fact."
Hermione stared at her friend as Luna put an arm around her shoulder to comfort the pregnant witch. Tonks leaned over and whispered in Hermione's ear "Hormones. Don't worry she isn't really mad at you."
As Ginny raised her head to meet Hermione's eyes, Hermione spoke in a soft voice "Ginny I am sorry I did not tell you sooner. I was in a muggle hospital for a day and then on the plane with my team. I did not want to tell you over the floo either because I wanted you to see for yourself that I was fine. Do you forgive me?"
Ginny looked at her best friend, her sister as far as she was concerned "No, I am sorry. I know that you would have told us sooner if you could have. This baby is just driving me crazy lately. And I miss you. You have not been around lately. I know you are doing something you want to do but sometimes I still act like a brat and miss my best friend."
"It's alright Gin. I know I have not been there as much as I would like. Trying to live as a muggle is harder then I thought. I can't just pop into England when ever I want because of the time difference and if I get a call for a case I have to be here. Harry and Ron can only use the cell phones I got them if they are in their house or in muggle London. Anywhere else in the wizarding world and the magic interferes with the technology. It is hard on me too Ginny." Hermione said as she grabbed her best friends hand and smiled "But what did I hear you say during your rant about me having a godSON?"
Ginny blushed at those words. "Oh did I say that?" She asked as she looked around at the table. The other three women nodded their heads at her. "Yeah. We were going to keep it a secret until my shower, but yes I am having a son! We are going to name him James Sirius." She said with a smile.
All the women agreed that was a beautiful name.
"And his Aunty Mione can teach him to be a bad ass muggle style" Tonks said laughing
"Hardly" Hermione said "I am not a bad ass in any way. And even if I was I would not be teaching my Godson that thank you very much."
"Oh come on Mione you're a witch who is living as a muggle, working for the American FBI catching muggle criminals. If tthat's not bad ass I will kiss Aunt Walburga's portrait." Tonks said with a laugh
"Hermione, why do you have flabberjays flying around your head?" asked Luna
Hermione looked at the blonde women as Ginny asked "What are Flabberjays Luna?"
"Flabberjays are little creatures who fly around a person's head. They cause that person to start having a crush on another person." Luna explained calmly as she took a sip of water "By how many are flying around your head Hermione you have a very serious crush on someone."
"Don't be silly Luna. I work all the time. Where would I meet someone to have a crush on them" Hermione could feel her cheeks starting to burn. Damn her blushing. She could never lie well enough with her friends because they knew to look to her cheeks.
"Oh no I see that blush Mione" Ginny said pointing at Hermione's face "If you work all the time then that means he must work with you."
"No he does not because he does not exist!" Hermione said trying to get her blush under control.
"If we guess him will you tell us the truth?" Asked Tonks. They all knew about her team she had told her England friends about them several times.
"NO!" Yelled Hermione as she looked for something to get her out of this line of questioning. Just then she saw the waiter making his way over to their table with their food. "Look our food is coming. Can you guys just drop this please?" She asked.
As the waiter set down each plate in front of the woman who had ordered it the three witches looked at each other. They would drop it for now. But they had all day to get it out of her. And get it out of Hermione they would.
So you asked for more HP and I am trying to give it to you. Eventually I will have the world collide in an epic fashion but for now they are separated. Make sure you leave me a review.
