Enjoy chapter 4! Ladies and Gentlemen you need to review! I hope you enjoy reading this just as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Chapter 4: Careers, Lives, and unreturned love.

Hermione opened the door to the large bookstore.

"So excited!" She jogged through the large rows. "So many books."

A knock sounded at the door.

"Oh hey, wasn't expecting you Chris. Whats going on?" She opened the door allowing her friend to step inside.

"Just coming to check up on you. I know how you and Draco are when you have company at home. You two just wait for them to leave so you can jump each other. I thought I'd come by and see how the finished product came out." Chris sat her bag down on a near by table. " Looks pretty good, more like a library if you ask me."

"Yeah that's what I had in mind for it originally, and then I thought how about best of both worlds." Hermione explained running her hand over a near by computer screen.

"Opening on Wednesday." Chris looked around the wonderfully furnished bookstore. "This is a very large investment."

"Yeah, huge. I'm doing what I can to keep Draco out of this. I don't want to drag him into anything that happens." Hermione grimaced.

"How thoughtful of you. Keeping your husband out of trouble the way you do."

"Yeah, can't help myself. Sometimes I wonder if I shelter him to much." Hermione laughed. " I have all kinds of back up plans just in case things don't go well with the store."

"Not with his occupation. He's lucky to be alive at the end of the day." Chris told her. " I wonder if he'd consider coming to search and rescue."

"You guys don't get paid nearly enough for him to give up being a Crime Scene Investigator." She sighed.

"We'll take you then." Chris laughed.

"I'm currently following my dreams."

"The ministry is going to eat at you." Chris said silently. "I'm starting to feel sorry for you."

"Yeah," Hermione grabbed her briefcase and set it on the desk in her office. " I don't want this to ruin our marriage."

"Your always worried about Draco leaving you. Will you give it a rest already? I think the poor guy deserves some credit for staying with you for at least this long." She sat on the other side.

"I know, but Draco can be so temperamental about everything. When I'm stressed it stresses him out tens times worse. Not to mention the fact that my father drives him up the wall when every time he gets the chance."

"Kids?" Chris asked.

"He doesn't want them. I do. I'm willing to make the sacrifice." She told her.

"That's right anything for Draco."

"Shut up."

"Malfoy." Draco pulled his face away from the microscope.

"I'm working Hunter." Draco gave her an evil look.

"Yeah, so am I. where the hell are my lab reports." She asked him impatiently.

"Don't get snappy. Do I look like one of those shabby lab junkies to you?" Draco snapped at her.

"That's enough you two," Tori Hunter's partner Samantha Kennedy told them walking in.

"Hey Kennedy." Draco mumbled.

"Hello Malfoy, Have you seen Greg around." She asked calmly.

"Yeah. He went to go talk to Sidle." He told her. " Come look at this for me Hunter."

He moved out of the way and watched as Hunter looked into the microscope.

"Got a murder\suicide, we're trying to place a third person at the scene of the homicide. No such luck so far. These are two hairs from the scene. The one on the left belongs to our victim the one on the right is unknown."

"I'd say hand it over to Greg. See if you can get matching epithelia's." Hunter said.

"I'm the new one remember." Sam said suddenly.

"Oh sorry. Epithelial's are membranous tissue composed of one or more layers of cells separated by very little intercellular substance and forming the covering of most internal and external surfaces of the body and its organs." Draco explained.

"Basically we're trying to see if there is a DNA match see if the people at the scene were family members of the victims. Get some possible suspects" Greg frowned. "You two are early."

"Yeah well, we wanted a jump start." Hunter growled.

"That's just liked you." Greg said, moving toward a large machine. "That's why I did your lab reports last night."

"Finally someone who appreciates our work." Sam joked.

"Well there was a little something funny with your reports." Draco told him. " Something Greg, as eagle like as his eyes is. Over looked."

"So much for not being a lab junky." Hunter mumbled.

" I asked you if I looked like one." Draco smirked. " Anyway there were very small particles of blue mixed in with the sperm sample you gave us."

He pulled out two slides. "Magnesium hydrogen phosphate,"

"It comes from a commonly used substance called ELEVIT, what is ELEVIT? You ask." Draco grimanced.

"ELEVIT is phamisuical used Vitamins and Minerals for Before, During and After Pregnancy," Greg informed them.

They turned and looked at him.

"What?" He asked. "my job is to know thiese things."

"You found ELEVIT in the sperm we found in our victum's rectum?" Hunter ran her fingers through her hair. "Why do we always get stuck with the sick ones Sam?"

"I don't know Tori." Sam sighed. " it's going to be a long day."

"whats the situation?" Draco asked.

"We got a signature murder this time. Makes his own weapons once he arrives at the victim's home. He rapes and kills male and female." Hunter filled him in.

"What are you doing in here?" Greg asked suddenly.

"Sidle and I had a spat so Grissom put me in here. Hopefully, as horrible as this might sound, they'll get swamped and put me back out on the field."

" I hope you get out quick." Greg said, messing up Draco's hair. "Your not sloppy enough to work in the Lab any more."

" Good thing to. My wife would have divorced me years ago."

"By the way," Hunter said on the way out. "Tell Hermione im coming to the opening. I want to be the second to buy a book."

"That's right because I'll be the first." Draco yelled out after them.

"You know you should come back to the lab." Greg told him.

"Yeah right, why would I demote myself." Draco turned back to his work.

"You can go back out on the field with Sara if you can cntrol yourself." Grissom told him.

"Right," he said tearing off the lab coat and slipping into his investegtor uniform."Later."

" I want a full report from Sidle when you two get back."

"that's all your's Greg. Do you stuff." he said jogging out.

"Sure thing," he yelled.

"Today's just full of suprises," She opened the door for Ron. "Where's Harry."

"At home," Ron looked around nervously. "Look 'Mione. By now I would have thought you'd have come to your senses."

"Ronald what are you talking about. I can't come to my sense any more than I already have." She turned to stare at him.

"Your wrong Hermione, wasn't five years enough to get that Farret out of your system?" He walked closer to her.

"Ronald have you lost your mind?" Hermione asked taking a step back.

"No, I havent." He stared at her quietly. "I still love you 'Mione."

"Havent we been through this already. Ron, your one of my bestfriends and I'm not willing to ditch my husband, who im very much in love with might I add." Hermione shook her head.

"I'm not going to give up on us, 'Mione." Ron said sullenly.

"Ron, there only time there is an us is when there is You, Harry and Myself. Other than that. Drop it already."

"No!" Ron yelled at her.

"No, what?" Draco said, opening the door. He stared at Ron like he wanted to kill him.

"Nothing," Ron said, walking out.

Hermione sighed and looked at the clock. One minute after four. Right on time.

"You okay?" Draco asked pulling her into his arms.

"Something like it." She hugged him close. "I love you."

"I know love. That's why you married me." He calmed her down slowly. "it's going to be alright."
