OK my wonderful peeps. Here is my first X-over fan fic. Make sure you read the prequel Criminal Magic before you start this one.

"Name?"

A young women with her bushy brown hair pulled into a low ponytail looked at the guard.

"Special Agent Hermione Granger. I am supposed to be starting with the BAU today I was hoping you might be able to direct me to SSA Aaron Hotchner." Hermione answered

The guard gave her a temporary ID card and the proceeded to tell her how to get to the correct floor.

As she rode the elevator up to the 3rd floor, Hermione took the time to calm down her nerves. She was fresh out of the Academy and this was her first official day as a FBI agent. The FBI had come to Cambridge University while she was finishing up her double masters at the request of Dean Frawley. When they saw her test score combined with the speed at which she was earning her PHDs they offered her a job working with their Behavioral Analysis Unit.

Hermione knew that everyone expected her to be some big shot at the Ministry once she was done with her NEWTS. However Hermione knew that no matter what job she took and how may credentials she had the rumors would fly that she only got the job because of her status after the war.

After the second wizarding war Hermione found herself being gifted everything and anything. She also found herself being hounded by fans and the press. She had once asked Harry how he dealt with it all and he just said he was used to it after so long.

Hermione did not feel like she ever could get used to it. After she finished her last year at Hogwarts she got into Cambridge University. She felt that by perhaps staying out of the eyes of the wizarding world she could build up a name for herself on her own merits, not just because of who her friends were.

For Hermione she could not understand the press' fascination with her. When she was 15 she was painted as a scarlet women by Rita and now she was being painted as an angel. The brains behind the Golden Trio. Oh how she hated that. And things just seemed to have gotten worse after Ron and Luna started their relationship. Harry had Ginny and Ron had Luna and everyone was watching to see who she was going to start dating. Even Malfoy tried to ask her out. Hermione never planned on leaving London just the wizarding world. However when this opportunity came up she could not just pass it up. This was her chance to put her new found degrees in use as well as make a name for herself on what she really could do. Muggles did not know who she was and weren't trying to impress her or fall at her feet. She would have to work hard for this.

Saying goodbye to Harry and Ron though was the hardest part of leaving. They had always been able to have at least 1 day a week for just Trio time,as Ginny called it. Now they could not have that.

It had been 4 months since she said left Great Britain. During that time she had attended the FBI's academy and passed with flying colors. Now that she was finished she was going to go meet the people she would be working with.

As she was thinking Hermione fiddled with the lion necklace she was wearing. It had been a gift from Harry when she was leaving. It had a bunch of protection charms on it and she could use it to contact Harry or Ron if she was ever in any danger. But perhaps the best thing of all about the gift was that it helped her with the nightmares.

Hermione started getting them after they were captured and taken to Malfoy Manor. She would wake up crying all the time and the only thing that helped her on the run was being close to Harry or Ron. Once she was on her own she found a couple of different potion's to help her. However now that she was going to be surrounded by muggles all the time and would be traveling with them all over the United States she could not risk having the potions on her.

The necklace had help her by putting up a sort of mental block on bad memories. It was almost a form of Occlmency. Hemione had no idea how he had done it but she was glad Harry had fpund a way to help her.

While her nighmares were gone she still had the physical reminder of it on her arm. Hermione had started taking to only wearing long sleeve shirts or jackets to cover up the slur that was cut into her arm.

Hermione was so deep in thought she almost missed it when the elevator stopped an the doors opened wide. Standing there was a tall man with dark brown eyes and black hair and a stern face.

"Special Agent Granger. Welcome my name is SSA Aaron Hotchner. You can call me Hotch. Welcome to the BAU."
