How am I supposed to create a common ground? Won't I get current flowing through the ground wires due to a difference in potential voltage?

Also, I think I fried my servo today (started to smoke). I was measuring the current passing through the servo from the + and - terminals, and it seems to be pulling 2A even when not being driven by a signal from the microcontroller. I would assume that servos shouldn't do any work, and 2A*6V=12W of work for not doing anything seems a bit weird.
