I told you I would get you a new chapter if I could tonight. :) You may notice I changed the rating on here and that is just to be safe since I am going to be talking about dead bodies and such... yeah better safe then sorry

Once again I do not own Criminal Minds or Harry Potter.

"Granger I should warn you seeing a dead body for the first time may be hard. If you need to leave you can."

Hotch had stopped right before the doors to the Seattle M.E's office and looked at Hermione.

She thought back to the battle of Hogwarts, and the Department of Mysterys and all the fallen. Hermione had seen her fair share of death in her short lifetime. Thinking about those times made her remember Sirius, Professor Dumbledore, Cedric, and all the other people she had seen die.

As she fought the memories back she looked into Hotchs eyes. "Don't worry Hotch. I will be fine."

Hotch recognized the look in her eyes. He had it himself. It was a look of someone who had seen death before.

He wondered who she see die? While death is a natural part of life people do not get that look by just going to funerals for friends and family. They get that look by seeing humanity at its worst and the depravity it can bring with it.

Deciding to leave this alone he turned back around to the stainless steel door and pushed them open and greeted a middle aged women.

" Hi there I am SSA Aaron Hotchner of the FBI and this is SSA Granger. We are here about the 4 women left on the beaches?"

"Of course I was told to be expecting you. My name is Dr. Natalie Thurgingson. I am the medical examiner for the city of Seattle." She held out her hand to shake both of the FBI agents hands before turning around.

"From what I can tell each of the women were tortured for a period of about 60 hours before their deaths." She said as she pulled back the sheet of the first table to reveal the latest victim, a 28 year old Caucasian female with dark brown hair.

"How can you tell?" Hermione asked

"The burns." Dr. Thurgingson said. "The first burns were received approximately 60 hours before time of death and more burns were placed through out that time frame. Also bruising indicated she was beaten by fists as well as a cylindrical object of some sort most likely a pipe. The killer also stabbed her 35 times. Each time though was never near a major artery, however it would cause a great deal of pain. Cause of Death is going down as suffocation. It looks like there was a bag placed over her head until she stopped breathing. I have put time of death based on lavitity around 3 am the morning she was found."

"Anything else you can tell us?" Hotch asked

"I can tell you she was not dumped until about 2 hours before she found." Dr Thurgingson said as she pulled the sheet back over the brunettes face.

"How can you know that?" Asked Hermione

"Simple the sound has a plethora of sea life,visible and not. If she was placed there any earlier the tide would have left evidence on her body. Since there is none and the tide was came in at 3:30 am that morning leaving at 4 am the body had to have been left there between 4:30 and 5. The body was discovered by morning joggers at 7:15 that morning." The doctor said as she moved down the table and pulled up the sheet once more to show the arms. "I also found evidence of restraints being used. From the cut pattern and pooling of blood under the surface I am going to say good quality handcuffs and her hands were over her body for an amount of time. I also found traces of tranquilizers in her blood. I found a small puncture mark at the base of her skull. Unfortunately it is a pretty standard drug anyone can find off the street if they know where to go."

As the doctor finished she took off her latex gloves and deposited them in the trash. "Every one of the bodies so far have had the same things. I can tell you that each women has given birth in the past year. They each have the hormones and it looks like victim number 3 was brestfeeding."

"All right thank you very much for your time." Hotch said as he took the file presented to him by the M.E and shook her hand. "If we have anymore questions we will be in touch."

"No problem. Oh one more thing 2 of them women had colored hair."

"Really? What where they naturally?" Hermione asked.

"Brunettes"

"Ok let's go over what we have so far" Hotch said as Prentiss and Rossi came in and sat down. According to the M.E all of the victims were brunette but Joanne Gunn and Felicia Di Giro had colored their hair. Also they each gave birth with in the past year."

Hotch put the pictures of all 4 victims on a white board.

"We also learned that the unsub burned his victims as well as beat them with a cylindrical object most likely a pipe." Hermione picked up where Hotch stopped. "We also learned that each victim was drugged with street found tranquilizers. And even though the unsub killed his latest victim Rosslyn Summers at 3 am he did not dump her body until somewhere between 5 and 7 am. We also found that all of the women so far have been mothers."

"Crime scene was a mess. I really hate beaches." Prentiss said

"There were no clear tracks anywhere but we did manage to find a few places where an unsub would be able to drag a body down to the beach without anyone noticing" Reid said looking at the boards.

Just then Morgan's phone rang. He answered it and put it on speaker.

"Hey baby girl your on the speaker so be good."

"Oh my little stud muffin I am always good."

"Garcia" Hotch said interrupting Penelope and Derek's little routine. "What do you have for us?"

"Right sir. Well I have been digging into these women's pasts like you asked me and nothing overlaps that I can find. Joanne Gunn was not even in Washington very long. Her husband just got out of the military and they moved to Washington 8 months ago. Joanne is a stay at home mom, Felicia worked in a dinner, Rosslyn worked in an accounting agency, and Marilyn worked as a swim instructor at the University. Sir these women's lives have nothing in common that I can tell."

"Ok thanks Garcia." Hotch said as he hung up Morgan's phone and handed it back to him. "What else do we know?"

"Well he has to be familiar with the area to know the out of the way places to drag a body to the beach. Which means whoever it is more then likely grew up around here." Reid said

"Water symbolizes cleansing. Perhaps our unsub is cleansing away his actions by leaving the women there." Rossi suggested

"No more likely he is cleansing the women for something. Since he does not touch them sexually he has to see them as being unclean for some reason. If he was going to cleanse his action he would choose fire over water." Hermione said

"Well let's head back to the hotel for the night and come back in the morning." Hotch said looking at his team. He could tell they were all exhausted from the days work and travel.

So what are you guys thinking about Hermione's first case. I don't think I am going to be doing a lot of cases in full detail like this just because it takes a lot of time to plan it out.
