Have you ever had one of those days where you don't have a second to sit down? Yeah that has been my day so far. But I have finally found some time to sit down and get this written down. Yeah! I am so excited that this story has almost 2500 views already and I am not even done yet! I would say we still have at least 10 chapters left before I finish. At this point I don't know if I am going to do an epilogue Or not. Still deciding.

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

After cake the adults were sitting around laughing and talking.

"So Hermione" Harry said "I saw Seamus the other day. He was in the other day getting some permits for his demolition company."

"Oh tthat's great" Hermione said "How is he doing?"

"He is doing good. He asked about you. He told me he always had the biggest crush on you in school" Harry said with a smile. He did not notice his wife trying to get his attention to tell him to stop.

"Oh…" Hermione said suddenly feeling awkward

"He asked me if you would be coming back any time soon for a visit" Harry continued still not noticing his wife's desperate attempts to gain his attention. "I did not know you were coming over tonight or I would have invited him."

"Harry" Hermione said "I don't need you to get me a date!"

"What's wrong with Seamus?" asked Harry

"Nothing but I don't like him like that. Honestly I like someone else I met but I don't know how things will work out yet"

"Oh Mione I did not know. Who is it? Do Ron Remus and I have to give him the family speech?"

"NO!"Hermione yelled startling Teddy who had been playing on the floor. "I love you three very much but I don't need your protection. Besides nothing has happened yet. I just admitted to myself I had feelings for him yesterday thanks to your guys wives and fiancée. And also I doubt it would have the same impact as he only knows you from my stories." Hermione finished

"Who is it?" Harry said with a smile

Hermione looked around the room all eyes were on her. Suddenly her cheeks were very red. "He is a muggle coworker. His name is Spencer."

"Hermione is afraid because he is a muggle and super smart he will not accept her magic." Ginny said

"GIN!" exclaimed Hermione

"What it's true" Ginny said looking at her friend "You are afraid that he will think you are crazy or he is crazy either way he will not accept you and you will be hurt."

"Hermione" Remus said with a sad look on his face "You are a very brave, intelligent witch. Your magic is a part of you. If this boy truly has feelings for you he will accept it. I was so afraid that no one would accept my lycanthropy. I hide it from everyone for years. When James and Sirius found out I was sure they would cast me out. But they didn't. They accepted me and Moony. They were the first people to do so. Then in your third year you yourself figured out I was a werewolf and never said anything. I gained you three. After you I gained Dora. I have spent the better part of 30 years being afraid of people rejecting me Hermione. But I have learned that those who truly are worth it and who truly care for you will accept you just as you are."

Hermione looked at her former professor. He always knew what to say to her when she felt down.

"And remember little one" Remus continued "We will always be here for you no matter what."

Just then the grandfather clock in the hall struck 11. Tonks looked at her husband "We better be going love. Teddy needs to get to bed."

"Of course darling" Remus told his wife. The love in his eyes shining through. He looked to the younger adults present "We had a wonderful time. Hermione make sure you come visit again soon okay? And remember what I said."

"I will Remus" Hermione said as she stood to give the parting family hugs. "I better be getting back anyway also. I have a lot to think about." She told the rest of her friends.

She gave Luna and Ginny both a hug and then turned to her boys. No matter how old they got or how many children they had they would always be each others. The three best friends huddled up for a group hug with Hermione in the middle.

"I love you boys. You know that right. I promise I will try to visit more often." She spoke to them.

"We know Mione. And we can always visit you too." Ron replied as Harry nodded his head in agreement.

Hermione stepped away from her friends embrace and gathered up her purse. She threw a handful of powder into the fireplace and shouted out her address before she stepped in and the room started spinning as she made her way back to her apartment.

Hermione stepped out of her fireplace and used her wand to get rid of the soot before she made her way farther into her apartment to sit down. As she thought over the nights conversation she knew Remus was right. She had no reason to be afraid. If Spencer truly cared for her then he would accept her magic as well in time. Hermione was not going to tell him right away though but rather stop worrying about what might happen and let herself have a little fun. She knew he had to have some feelings about her. When she told Emily that Reid had let her borrow a book, the first time he did, Emily was shocked. She told Hermione that Reid never let anyone borrow his books. He also brought her dinner this past week after her accident and stayed and talked with her long into the night.

"Perhaps just seeing where this will go would be the best thing" Hermione thought to herself. She pulled put the book Spencer had given her and started reading from where she left off. Even though she left London at 11 pm their time it was only 6 pm in Virginia so Hermione was not tired yet.

She had been reading for about an hour when her phone gave a beep. Hermione looked at the screen and saw she had a text message from Derek.

*Hey Hermione! A couple of us are going out for drinks tonight want to come? We have missed you!*

Hermione thought about it for a minute. She had missed her team. And if Spencer was going she would be able to talk to him about the book he loaned her. She picked up her phone and wrote back *Sure where are you heading?*

A moment later she got the reply *Going to Georgios. But I will swing by and pick you up since it is on the way. Be there in 20*

Hermione set her phone down and went to her bedroom. While the hair and makeup were still good from her dinner she had to change her shirt. She did not want to try to explain what a hippogriff was quite yet.

She settled on a red tank top and a black long sleeve crop top over it. Hiding her scars with sleeves was easier then a glamor charm which can wear out after only a few hours.

She had just finished fleshing up her makeup when she heard a knock at her door. Sliding her wand back into her holster on the side of her arm and making sure it was invisable, she pulled the sleeve back down and made her way to the door.

"Hey girl" Morgan said after she opened her door. "You ready? It is just going to be us young folk tonight Rossi and Hotch declined my wonderful invitation."

Hermione laughed as she answered "Yes let me just grab my purse." She grabbed the black handbag she had put on the closet door handle and walked out the door. She locked her door and turned to Morgan. "All set let's go." She said with a smile. Tonight Hermione was not going to worry about anything but having a little fun with her friends.

I love Remus so much. I could never allow him to die. J.k Rowling said she killed off him and Tonks to compensate for the fact she was going to kill Mr. Weasley in Order, but changed her mind. While I love Arthur very much I think Remus and Tonks should have lived! OK rant over lol.
