Alright so here is what the team decides and also the fallout from Spencer. Enjoy.

Even if I walked a thousand miles I would still not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.


After Hermione left the room everyone looked at one another.

"I can't believe someone would do that to a child. And everything Hermione has been through and all before she was 18." Emily said as she wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"So you all believe her?" Asked Morgan his face was still impassive.

"I can tell you all everything she said was the truth. One of the men at the hanger is my best friends son. I call him my nephew. He has told me all of this before just not in so many details. I have known Hermione was a witch since the day after she showed us the scar on her arm." Rossi said staring at Morgan.

"Wait that was Dean?" Asked Hotch. He had heard stories or the young boy and had even seen pictures.

"Yes. Look Hermione went out on a limb to allow us this choice. She obviously trusts us enough to risk going to jail. Dean has told me that is what could happen if a witch or wizard reveal themselves to non magical people."

"I can't even imagine having to know your parents are alive and they don't know you. How did she do it? How did she survive? My poor Mi." Penelope said as she started to cry again.

"From what Dean told me she is called the brightest witch of her age. She is exceptionally smart and strong." Rossi answered

"She would have to be to go through all of that." J.J said as he moved to comfort Penelope.

The group sat and thought about that they had just heard. Hearing Hermione tell them what she had been through was hard. Seeing her reactions were the verification they needed. Rossi had confirmed that their feelings were true. Hermione was telling the truth.

"Reid you have been quiet this whole time. What are you thinking?" Rossi asked as he faced Spencer.

"What is there to say. I thought I knew magic did not exist but I also know logically there is no other explanation for what we just saw." He said

"Yeah but how are you doing with this?" asked J.J

"I really don't know. If you all agree to do it then I won't argue with staying silent about this whole thing." He said

"What about you and Hermione?" Morgan asked

"Honestly, I just find out my girlfriend has been lying to me for over a year. Even if we have only been together for 6 months that is still 6 months that she could have told me. I saw what that guy told her. He asked which one I was because anyone who was in a relationship could have been told. But she never did. I don't know where that leaves us." Spencer said as he looked down at his hands.

"I am sure she had a reason Kid." Rossi said

"Sure maybe." Spencer answered

Just then Hermione walked back in the room. "Have you all decided?" she asked.

"Oh MI!" Penelope exclaimed as she threw herself across the room and pulled Hermione into a hug.

"We will keep the secret" Hotch said as he looked at the women.

"Can I ask how did you manage to convince the Minister to let you do this?" Asked Rossi

"I saved his life, so he owed me. I never thought I would ever use it but I did. Thank Merlin Kings likes me enough to not throw me in jail. I just did the equivalent of blackmailing the President of the United States. I think though Kings was looking for a way out of the law."

Hermione pulled out her wand and quickly cast the spell. "There you go. Now this will just stop you if you ever try to tell anyone about the magical world. It will not harm you but it will alert the Ministry that you tried to tell someone."

"Okay well it is late. I think we could all use some sleep." Hotch said standing uo. J.J, Emily and Penelope all surrounded Hermione and gave her a hug before going to stand by the door.

"Um how are we going to get home?" Asked Morgan as he too stood up to leave.

"The Ministry took care of that all your cars are parked out front." Hermione said with a smile. She was glad her team had accepted her magic and had agreed to keep her secret.

"See you tomorrow Kiddo. You did great" Rossi said as he gave Hermione a hug and left the room.

Finally it was just Hermione and Spencer left in the living room.

"Spencer" Hermione started to say. But Spencer got up off the couch and stormed into the bedroom.

Hermione followed him. She found him with his bag on the bed open. He was putting his things into the bag.

"Spencer please let me explain." Hermione said her voice thick with emotions.

"Is it true?" he asked not looking at her as he continued to pack his things away. "Is it true you could have told me before this because we were in a relationship?"

Hermione did not know what to do. She knew she have told him before.

She looked down at her shoes "yes" she said in a small voice "but let me explain-"

"I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING! I told you about Hinkle, and my mother, I told you about my fears. I told you everything about everything and you kept this from me. Why?! Rossi knew! He has known for months now! Tell me what reason you have for not telling me?!" He finished as he zipped up his bag

"I was afraid! I was afraid that you would not believe me and you would leave me. Spencer I love you!"

"No Hermione I could have accepted it. But I can't accept that you have been lying to me since I met you." He grabbed his bag from the bed and throw down a square book. "I am sorry Hermione but I don't know if I can ever trust anything you say." And with that he started walking to the door. He pointed at the book on the bed. "I was going to give that to you at Christmas. You can have it. I am sorry."

And he walked out of the apartment not seeing Hermione crying as she fell to the ground behind him.


Okay just for clarification Spencer just gave her the book he did not give her the ring. For Spencer trust is everything and he feels betrayed because Hermione could have told him but did not.:*(
