I do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.

The hours turned into days, and the days turned into weeks. Spencer was still not talking to Hermione. They would work together if they had to but Spencer spent most of this time trying to avoid her. Everyone on the team was worried. While their work never suffered everyone could see that their friends were hurting.

A month after Spencer walked out of Hermione's life the team found themselves in D.C tracking a drug manufacturer that was a suspect in 6 murders.

They were waiting in the police station for Garcia to find a location. As always as soon as he could Spencer left the room, leaving Hermione alone with the girls. J.J and Emily walked over and sat down next to her.

"Hey Hermione. How are you doing?" asked J.J

"Are you asking me about the case or about Spencer?" she asked as she looked at her friends.

Emily looked put the glass window of the room and found Spencer with her eyes. He was talking with Morgan. "Hermione what is going on with you and Reid?"

"He hates me." Hermione said in a solemn voice. "He says I lied to him the whole time we were dating. He is mad because I did not tell him. Hell I am mad at myself. But I was afraid of something like this happening. He left that night. He won't talk to me. He won't answer my calls. I have been thinking about going back to England. The team can not function like this. Yes we do our jobs but it is not the same. And being around him every day is painful."

"Hermione just give him time maybe-" J.J started to say but she could not finish because Morgan came in just then and told them they had the location. The girls got up from the table and got ready to go to their raid.

The team gathered in the center of the warehouse. Since this case had a lot to do with drugs the Vice officers had taken the suspects into custody. The guy they were looking for however was not found. While everyone else was outside dealing with the mess of drug dealers the team grouped up to figure out where their suspect had gone.

Just then a shot rang out in the cold and empty building. All the agents had pulled their guns and turned to the sound. Rossi saw the shooter first and he took his shot hitting his target.

"Is everyone alright?" Hotch called out.

"Clear."

"Clear"

"Clear"

….

"SPENCER!" Hermione cried out as she spotted Spencer on the floor a pool of blood under him. "NO!"

She rushed over to him. He was shot through his vest in his back. Hermione could see from where the bullet hit it had punctured his lung. Spencer was bleeding to death right before her eyes.

"No Spencer I am sorry. I am so sorry." She cried. She did not notice her team behind her as she cradled her former lovers head.

Suddenly Hermione had an idea. She grabbed her lions necklace and called out for Harry. "Harry bring our family" she said into the lion. She knew if she timed it right Harry would be there and would help. If not … well then.

She gently lowered Spencer's head back to the floor and placed her hands on his chest.

She closed her eyes and visualized a flow of white energy flowing from her and into Spencer.

She opened her eyes and cried our "VIM TRANSFERTUR!"

The team had to shield their eyes as a bright white light surrounded both Hermione and Spencer. They turned back just in time to see Hermione fall to the floor.

In the next second there was sounds of popping all around them.

"HERMIONE!"Screamed Ginny Potter as she rushed to her friends side.

"What happened?" Harry asked turning to the remaining members of the BAU.

"Spencer was shoot in the back by a suspect. We thought the area was cleared. He must have hidden and then come back out. Hermione put her hands on him and said something." Morgan said explaining to Harry what he had just seen.

"She said Vim transfertur. It means Life force transferred in latin. What did she do? Is she going to be okay?" Emily asked

"Are you sure you heard that correctly?" asked a man the team knew as Remus

"Yes. I grew up in a Catholic home. I know latin."

"That spell is a very old spell that no one uses. It can save someone from the brink of death. However it does that by pulling the life force out of the one who cast it. Your friend will be fine now, but we have to hurry to save Hermione." He turned to Harry "We can try to replace her life force . We might have enough people to where it will just drain us a little."

"We want to help. Can we give her some of out life force?" asked Rossi looking at Remus.

"If you really want to. It would help lessen the amount we each have to give. I will warn you that you will be very tired afterwards." Remus said

"Just tell us what to do" Hotch said

"We need to form a circle around Hermione and everyone needs to hold hands. Don't let go for anything. I will say the spell and it will pull a small amount of energy from each of you and into me and from there it will go back into Hermione. Because this is purely magical she should wake up after." Remus said

The team did what he said. They formed a circle around Hermione each member separated by a magical witch or wizard who loved Hermione.

As soon as they were in place they saw Remus close his eyes and place his hands on Hermione. Ginny Potter was holding on to David's hand and had on hand on Remus' shoulder. On the other side his wife Tonks was doing the same thing but with Emily.

They heard Remus call out "Vim transfertur" and the white light reappeared. No one let go of the persons hand they were holding. However they each felt a slight pull on their chest.

When the white light disappeared Remus looked at the group and said "Thank you. You can let go now. She should be waking up in just a minute."

Sure enough Hermione's eyes started to open slowly. Harry and Ron were by her side in an instant.

"Harry" Hermione said weakly. "I knew you would get here in time."

"Mione why would you do that. We almost lost you!" Harry said as he brushed his fingers through Hermione's hair.

"Because I love him" she said quietly

Remus came over and said "We have to get her to St. Mungos Harry."

Harry picked up his friend and carried her bridal style in his arms as he stepped away from the group and disappeared with a pop.

"Wait, a lot of people know she is here." Morgan said as he watched the wizard and his team mate just dissappear in thin air.

"My wife is already taking care of that" Remus said in a calm voice. "As far as anyone outside of this group is concerned Hermione Granger was at home on this case with the flu."

He turned and walked away joining the rest of the witches and wizards. "We will take care of her. You take care of your friend." He said before he turned on his heel and disappeared, the rest of the group following him in their actions.

Okay so I am almost done. I am thinking maybe 2-3 chapters left before it is all done. I have been thinking about possible sequels to this and I think I may have an idea. It will take me a while to get out a story line to follow but if I decide to go with it I hope you will read it.
