So this is a short chapter. I just wanted to show how protective people were of Hermione.
Simon says... I still do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.
That Friday was Hermione's day off. Harry had told her he would be there around 3 pm London time so that was 10 in the morning for her.
The day after her date with Spencer she went out to lunch with the girls, who demanded to know everything. By the end everyone was smiling. When Penelope asked if they had another date planned and Hermione told them about the Museum trip planned for that weekend, Penelope just about died from happiness.
Hermione smiled recalling the memory. When she had told the girls that she had kissed Spencer in the cheek at the end of the night everyone had started to laugh.
"Count on you to be the one who makes the first move" Emily had said teasing her.
Hermione did not care though. Nothing could ruin the memory of that night. It truly was the perfect date.
At 10 o'clock on the dot Hermione felt the wards shift and heard the floo come to life.
She walked into the living room to see Harry stepping out of the fireplace dusting off the extra soot.
"Hey Harry" Hermione said as she gave the wizard a hug. "Ready to set up some wards?"
"Yeah, but it won't be just me." He said slowly. Harry knew this could either go good or bad depending on Hermione's mood. "I need you to drop the wards on he floo for a few minutes to let through the others."
"Harry James Potter who else is coming here?" she asked as she did what he asked he to do. " There is a very slim chance Dolohov will ever find me here between your wards and mine that should be enough"
"Yes but even a small chance is not one we want to take with you little one" said Remus Lupin as he stepped out of the fire only to be followed shortly by Kingsley Shacklebolt.
Hermione gave both men a hug before speaking. "I still say all this fuss is not necessary. Between me and Harry we can make sure he does not get in here. Besides it is not like we can make it unplottable or secret kept. I am in a muggle building surrounded by muggles, working with muggles."
"Yes but like Remus said even the slightest chance the Dolohov could get you is too great. I would be strung up alive by the public if anything happened to you." He said giving her a wink. "Besides I am still holding onto the hope that you will come and work for me at the Ministry."
"Oh you" Hermione said with a smile. "Don't hold your breath on me coming and working for the Ministry. I am happy where I am right here in my little muggle world."
"Yeah and she has her eye on a guy." Harry said with a snicker. Remus was behind him grinning.
"Not so much just my eye anymore Harry. Spencer and me went out on a date this past Tuesday after work. We had a lovely time and are going out again this weekend."
"I am sure there will be tons of wizards crying when they hear the news Mione." Kingsley said. He knew the problems Hermione had with men trying to date her because of her name and reputation as a member of the Golden Trio. In truth he was glad she had found someone she liked. It was about time Hermione had some happiness for herself.
"Why does that not surprise me Mione." Harry said shaking his head laughing "You always get what you want."
"No I do not if I did then Remus and Kings would not be here. But I know no matter what I say it will not change your minds. So tell me what are your plans."
Remus looked at her and answered "Well we are going to be putting your apartment under a modified Fidelius Charm. It only works on witches and wizards and will have no effect on muggles. For that one we will have to leave the property and then come back. I will also be adding my own personal family wards and some I picked up on my travels to also keep out magical beasts like werewolves."
"Wait will you still be able to come over?" Hermione asked
"Yes. Since I am the one casting them my magical signature will be accepted however it will block all wolf's during a full moon and any other wolf besides myself."
"Okay I guess that sounds alright. I want to know more about the modified Fidelius Charm. How does that work? Who came up with it? Does it work?"
"Mione" Harry interrupted "I am sure we can answer all your questions after we set up your wards."
"Right, sorry" Hermione said
"Don't worry about it Mione Harry here has been stressed out since Dolohov escaped. He just wants to make sure you will be safe. We all do." Kingsley told her.
"Thanks Kings. And thank you for coming. I know you guys are just doing this because you care." She said looking at the Minister.
"What are you talking about? I just wanted to see if you were ready to come and work for me." He said with a grin. And with that the three men got started on placing the tough wards around Hermione's apartment.
Alright my wonderful readers. So we are going to have another time jump in the next chapter. I have several chapters written and I am uploading them today. I can see the end of the story and I really don't want to let go. I started this story at the beginning of the month and I have been having so much fun with it. :( Who knows what I will do next Either a sequel or another Spencer Hermione story or maybe even another paring. I don't know.
