Okay I do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.

The next morning Hermione and Ginny were sitting at the kitchen table eating pancakes. Harry had gone back to the Ministry this morning because his partner had said he needed to talk to him urgently. He had left before Hermione was up but told Ginny he would be back later.

"So I like your Spencer Mione" Ginny said as she grabbed her cup of tea.

Their dinner last night was a blast. While Spencer was quiet at first Ginny got him talking by telling everyone about Hermione's love of their schools library.

"He is not my Spencer Gin" Hermione said as she finished up her breakfast and raised from her seat to put the plate in the sink.

"Not yet anyway. I can see why you like him. You guys starting talking about that druid thingamabob and it was like no one else was there." Ginny said as she copied Hermione's actions.

"We were talking about Diodorus Siculus, and how he described how the druids followed the Pythagorean doctrine" Hermione said leaning on her kitchen counter.

"Yeah whatever that thing. Like I said you two were made for each other cause no one else knew what you were talking about. And he is good looking. Not as delicious as Mr. Derek Morgan, but good looking non the less"

"GIN!"

"What I am married and pregnant, not dead." She said with a laugh.

Just then the sound of the fireplace could be heard. The women made their way into the living room just in time to see Harry coming out of the floo.

"We might have a problem." He said.

David Rossi worked through his lunch that day to be able to leave early. He had called his nephew early that morning and had his suspicions confirmed plus things he never knew. His nephew had told him a little about the war in his world after the fact but never in great detail. As David thought through all of this he knew he had to talk to Hermione. He had so much to say to her.

He was able to leave work at 4 that afternoon and he made his way directly to Hermione's apartment. Before he could even knock the door was opened.

"Hello David. I was wondering when you would stop by to see me. Won't you come in and I can make us some tea, or perhaps you would like some lemonade?" Hermione asked

"Tea is fine" he said as he followed her inside. He should have known she would know he was coming. After all according to his nephew she was the brightest witch of her age.

After Hermione had gotten the tea ready the two sat down at the kitchen table.

"So" Hermione said after she tool a sip of her tea. "How do you know Dean Thomas?"

"His step father is my best friend. When Roger married Allison I was his best man. Dean must have been about 5 at that time. They used to spend summers with me at my cabin. He is like my nephew."

"That explains it. But why did that not show up when the team was looked up by the Ministry?"

"I think Dean was trying to protect you. He knew you wanted to get away from everything and he figured that if you knew I knew about the magical world you would not come here. At least here he knew you would be safe."

Hermione thought about this as she sipped on her tea.

"Hermione"David said as he put his cup down and looked at her "Dean told me what you guys did. How you saved him from that place when he was taken. I can't tell you enough how greatful I am that you and your friends did that. Even though Rodger is not his father, he raised that boy and loosing him would have killed both him and Allison not to mention his little sisters."

Hermione did not say anything as she looked down at the table. She thought for a moment before she spoke.

"What else did Dean tell you?" she asked in a small voice

"Not much, he said it was your story to tell. He did tell me that you are the brightest witch of her age and you left the wizarding world because people would not leave you alone. Hermione I think you are a great agent. I do not want you to leave just because I know you are a witch. I DO however want you to know that if you ever need to talk and we are on a case and you can not get in touch with your friends you have someone to talk to that knows about the magical world already."

Hermione looked up from the table into David's eyes. She could see the sincerity in them.

"Maybe this is a good thing" she thought to herself "I won't have to hide the truth if I need to talk and can't use magic"

"Thank you David." She said out loud "That means a lot to me. I really was not myself on this last case. Maybe by being able to talk will help a little if I can't get to talk to Harry or Ron right away."

"No problem Kiddo. What does this mean for Spencer? I know you can't tell anyone unless they already know about magic or are in a relationship with them. Do you plan on telling him if you two get over yourselves and start dating?"

Hermione laughed. Of course he would see it. You could never pull anything over on David Rossi.

"I really don't know. I have thought about it. It worries me that he won't believe me or think I am crazy like his mother. But right now I am trying to just see where things will go."

"Well I have known Spencer Reid for a long time. I know that he is never one to judge. I think if you two start dating and you decide to tell him he will accept it. He might be hurt that you kept it from him for a while but once you explain the laws he will understand."

Hermione thought about what he said. It was true David had known Spencer longer then she had. She had to admit it was nice to have someone who knew both sides and could give her an honest opinion.

"Thanks David. And thank you for understanding. I won't leave and I promise next time I need to talk I will come to you." She said as she stood from the table.

"Anytime kiddo" David replied as he gave Hermione a hug. This young women had helped save his nephew he would do anything to make sure she was safe and happy.

I want to say thank you to all the reviews I have been getting. A lot of the things people have been suggesting I have already planned out but some things I have not and have given me some great ideas. I really wanted to give Hermione someone to talk to on the team about magical things and I also wanted to show her relationship between the members of the team. Rossi was one that has not had a lot of time in the story so he was a perfect fit. We will be getting some more drama soon.
