I still can't believe how many views this story has gotten! It is more then I ever imagined. So thank you all!

As always I do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.


The 4 women finished their food and left the resturant. They stopped at the grocery store so Hermione could pick up some pumpkin juice and Ginny decided that she wanted some chocolate frogs. So then they went to the sweet shop. After that they make a stop by the apothecary so Hermione could pick up the ingredients she needed for her potions. Luna stayed outside with Ginny while Hermione and Tonks did this because Ginny said the smell of the store made her sick, so she had been making Harry go alone whenever they needed something.

By the time they finished it was close to 2pm.

"Okay so last place is Madam Jons for your bridesmaid dresse Hermione." Said Luna as they walked out of the bookstore, Hermione following her with a big bag full of new books she had just purchased.

"Ok let me just banish these books to my apartment. I ddon't want to shrink them down like the rest of the bags." Hermione said as she pulled out her wand and swished it at the books. In a second the books were gone and Hhermione's aarms were free again.

The dress shop was the last shop on the street. Madam Jon had worked with Madam Malkin in England so their styles were very similar.

"What colors are you going with again Luna?" Hermione asked as she started looking through the racks of dress robes.

"Buttercup yellow and orange" Luna said with her wistful smile "All the girls will be in yellow with orange flowers."

"Oh Hermione you have to try this one on. It is beautiful!" Ginny exclaimed as she held up a bright yellow dress.

Hermione looked at the dress. It was not ugly per say, however it had a bunch of jewels on the skirt and bows in the back. It was something that Ginny could pull off but Hermione could not.

"Erg Gin It is nice but not really my style." Hermione said trying to not hurt her friends feelings "Besides Luna don't you have a dress in mind for me?"

"Oh no I want you all to be comfortable in whatever you are wearing. As long as it is yellow that is all that matters to me." Luna said still shifting through the dresses on the rack

"Oh what about this one? It looks to be about your style Mione." Tonks called put from behind one of the racks. She came out with a lighter yellow dress that had a sweetheart neckline and small straps. The skirt was a flowy satin, and it looked like it had a slight slit up the leg.

"I like it. Let's put that in the pile to try on." Hermione answered.

As the women went back to looking for a dress Ginny decided to try to find out which one of Hermione's coworkers she had a crush on.

"So Mione" She started not taking her eyes off the dresses in front of her "Did you see any of your team yesterday, while you were doing your chores?"

Hermione pulled another yellow dress out and threw it in the pile of clothes she was going to try before she answered "Yes actually, Morgan called me to make sure I was alright and had not fallen because of the pain medication the doctor gave me. And then Spencer came over last night after work and brought me dinner and some new books."

"Spencer is the really smart one right?" Asked Tonks who was seeing where Ginny was going with this.

"Yes that's right Dr. Spencer Reid. He really is quite brilliant." Hermione said as she pushed back some hangers to get a better look at the dresses they held.

"Oh that was nice of him Hermione" Luna said "What did he bring you?"

"Well he brought me lasagne from this Italian restaurant he knows I like."

All three women gave up on the pretense of looking at dresses and firmly settled their gaze at Hermione who was oblivious that they had stopped.

"Oh and how does he know you like that restaurant Mione?" Ginny asked with a smirk on her face.

"Every time it is my turn to grab lunch for the team I always go there." Hermione answered as she pulled out a dress. "What do you think about this one… Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"You like him don't you Mione!" Yelled Tonks excitedly

Hermione spun back around to face the dresses trying to hide the blush on her face. "No I don't. He is a colleague and a friend that's all."

"Oh no missy. I saw that blush. You are not getting out of this."Ginny said as she pulled Hermione back around to face them and lead her to a chair in the corner. "Now you are going to sit there and tell us all about him."

Hermione looked up at Tonks and Luna and saw they were shaking their heads at her with smiles on their faces. Hermione knew she would get no help from them. She also knew Ginny would not let this go until she knew something. The question was what was Hermione going to tell them.

Yes in the past few months her and Spencer had grown closer. It was different then the way she was close with the rest of the team. While the rest of the team was like family, Spencer was someone she could have intense debates and discussions with. She liked that he was smart like her. She did not have to monitor what she said or how she said it. She did not have to worry if she went off on a tangent because he could keep up. He had the same love of knowledge and books as she did. One time they came across an abandoned library and Hermione found a first edition collection of the works of Edger Allen Poe that had been torn. Hermione felt like crying and said so. While the rest of the team thought she was joking Spencer understood. He was also very handsome to Hermione. While Derek was the traditional handsome man's man Reid was more of a muted handsome. His beauty was hidden in his brain and soul. Every time she teased Spencer she would ruffle up his hair, and oh Merlin his hair was soft.

She told her friends this in a soft voice and then hid her face in her hands not wanting to look at them.

"Oh wow Hermione." Tonks said "You really like him don't you?"

"Yes I do. I have tried not to think about it to hard though." Hermione answered not fully removing her face from her hands.

"Why not Mione?" Ginny asked as she sat down in the chair next to Hermione and grabbed one of her hands forcing Hermione to look up. "From what you told us, he likes you enough to bring you your favorite dinner."

"Yes but as much as I like him for his intelligence, that is what is going to keep us apart." Hermione said in a small voice

"What do you mean Hermione?" Luna asked as she sat on the other side of Hermione

"His mother is a paranoid schizophrenic and she lives in an institution. If I ever got into a relationship with Spencer and told him about me being a witch he will think I am as crazy as his mother. If I try to prove it to him he will think he is going crazy. No. It just works out better if I don't say anything."

"Hermione do you really think that?" Tonks asked "Look at me and Remus. He was so sure I should not be with him. Now look at us."

"Hermione if he really is all that you said he is then I think he can accept your magic." Ginny said as she stood back up. "You are taking away his chance to show you. That's not fair to you or him."

"Your right. I just need some time to think." Hermione said.

"Ok now that that is out of the way let's try on some dresses" Tonks said as she pulled up the pile of dresses and shoved them in Hermione's arms and turned her towards the dressing room.

While Hermione was changing into the first dress the three English witches look at one another and they all hoped that this Spencer Reid would not let them down when it came to their friend.


OK so Hermione has confessed her feelings for the lovable Dr. Reid. Ahh joy. I am going to try to get through the Potter Dinner tonight might be 2 chapters. Don't forget to leave some review love please and thank you!
