OK so I know a lot of you wanted to see more interaction with not only the wizarding world but with the HP characters. Well it is coming. We will be seeing more of Harry and Ginny and Ron and the rest of the gang very soon. Thank you all for you views and support of this story.!
As always I do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds as much as I wish it was true.
4 months later
The front door the Hermione's apartment swung open to reveal Derek Morgan holding a bag and behind him was Hermione with her arm in a sling.
"Morgan" Hermione said stearnly. She was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. "I can handle walking into my own apartment by myself."
"I don't think so nerd girl." He said as he put her bag down in the closet. "You were hurt on my watch. I am going to make sure you are alright. And besides you heard the doctor no straining your elbow. Trying to carry that bag of your with your books definitely qualifies as straining."
Hermione sighed as she knew this was a lost cause. Ever since she was hurt 2 days ago Morgan had not let her leave his sight. It was nice in a way. It almost reminded Hermione of the way Harry and Ron were with her. She was not hurt too bad. They were clearing a house and Hermione went through a door when the unsub swung a baseball bat and hit Hermione in the elbow. The E.R doctor said nothing was broken but she had to wear the sling for a couple of days and not stress it out to allow the muscles to heal.
However as much as Morgan reminded her of Harry and Ron, she wished he would leave her alone already. When she went to the E.R she had to preform wand less and non – verbal magic to cover up her scars and to hide her wand before her X ray. To say it was frustrating was the least.
Morgan told her when she was waiting for the results to come back that she reminded him of his sister and that was why he felt like he had let her down by allowing her to get hurt. Hermione was honored to remind Derek of his sister, as he had told her all about her. She told him that it was not his fault. That they all know the risks of the job when they sign up for it. While Hermione's talk helped Morgan with his guilt he still insisted on driving her home himself. To make matters worse Hotch made her take a week of recovery time off. Hermione was not allowed to go to work at all.
"Derek really, I will be fine. It was not your fault I got hurt. I think I am just going to to take a shower and then go to bed. Go home!" Hermione said looking at her friend.
"Fine" He said as he turned to look at her. "But if you need anything you give us a call and one of us will be over in a heartbeat. Okay?"
"I promise. Granted I might call Spencer for some new books tomorrow." Hermione said with a smile on her face as she gave Morgan a hug.
"Oh Lord. Don't you have enough books?" Morgan teased as he returned Hermione's hug before he stepped out of her embrace. He turned and opened the door and then looked back "Get some rest"
"Goodnight Morgan!" Hermione stressed as he shut the door behind him.
Hermione looked around her apartment now that she was alone. The E.R doctor had given her some pain pills to take but Hermione was not going to touch those. She wanted to stay alert. She walked to her kitchen and summoned a chair to stand on. At the top of her pantry was a stock of potion's that Hermione always made sure she had. She moved a couple of bottles and found the pain relief potion she was searching for.
This was not an ordinary pain potion. It was a new formula that was non drowsy. It had come out after the war. Hermione uncorked the purple shimmering bottle and downed it in one gulp. She banished the bottle with her wand and them went to go take her shower.
Hermione woke to sunlight streaming through the curtains of her bedroom. She looked at the clock on the wall in her bedroom and saw it was already 9:30 am. This was the first time in months that she had slept in. Even on her days off she was rushing around trying to get things done so she always woke up before 8:30.
She sat in her bed and thought of what she needed to do today. She knew she had to go to the store and get some food. Being gone for long stretches of time tended to make things in the fridge go bad and despite what Ron would say Hermione could cook. She also had laundry to do and she needed to clean her apartment. Since she had a week off she could even run over to Dragon street the American version of Diagon alley. She knew she needed to rebrew some ppotion's and was running short on the ingredients.
She decided that today would be a muggle day and tomorrow she would go to Dragon street. As she got out of bed a thought came to mind. She had not seen her girlfriend's in a while and this would be a perfect chance to see them and pick out Hermione's bridesmaid dress. She still could not believe that Ron had proposed to Luna finally.
Hermione got dressed and went to the floo and called for Potter cottage before she stuck her head in.
"Ginny are you there?" She called
"Mione?!" Hermione heard Ginny's voice call out from the other room.
A few second later Ginny Potter came walking in. She seemed to be glowing and Hermione could make out the faint bump on the now 5 ½ months pregnant women.
"Hey. Are you okay? What's going on?" Ginny asked breathlessly.
Hermione could not help but feel like a bad friend. Her work had kept her from being able to talk to her friends and family back in England as often as she liked. Even though she tried to floo at least once a week it was not the same.
"Everything is fine Gin. I just have some time off and was wondering if you, Luna, and Tonks were busy tomorrow. I was thinking since I won't be called in we could meet up at Dragon Street. Maybe grab some lunch and the go get my dress for Ron and Lunas wedding." Hermione explained.
"Oh that sounds wonderful. We really need to catch up." Ginny said her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Teddy is coming over today so Tonks and Remus can go out so I will ask her then and I know Luna has nothing planned so I will tell her. What time do you want to meet?"
"How about 11 am my time. So 4 pm London time? Lunch for me dinner for you girls." Hermione said.
"Sounds like a plan. What are you doing today? Did you want to come over for a while?" Ginny asked
"I can't today I have some things I need to get done around the house. I have been gone for 5 days this last time and things have piled up on me."
"Okay. You said you had some time off though right? How long? We could have a dinner over here one night with us girls and the men. I know if I get to see you and Harry does not he will be jealous."
Hermione laughed. She wanted to see her boys and Remus but first she needed to see the girls and explain why her arm was in a sling. That way she would have support if the boys tried to make her stay there.
"I have a week off. Maybe the day after tomorrow I can come over. I miss the boys as well."
"Okay I will plan on it. Also this way when I tell Harry where I will be tomorrow I can soften the blown with the prospect of you coming the day after." Ginny said smiling.
"Good idea Gin. Well I better get going and get all my chores done."
"Okay then see you tomorrow. Love you"
"Love you too Gin" Hermione said before she pulled her head out of the fireplace.
She looked around her apartment and thought to herself "Better get started"
