Hermione walked downstairs. Shayne's uncle was waiting for her. He held his two hands out and she took them.
" I'm sorry Sir... " she croaked.
He nodded and pulled from his pocket a small box.
" Shayne wanted you to have this. It's his collection of Auror medals from the ministry. It also contains all the material needed to be an Auror and spells and information that is required."
Hermione smiled. " He wanted ME to have this."
" Yes he knew you wanted to be an Auror and young Harry too."
Hermione nodded. " I dont feel right. Maybe you should have it Sir. He was your nephew. These are his brillant awards."
" No Lass. I have no use for them. If my nephew wanted you to have them , well then I will honour his wishes."
" Thank you " said Hermione. " I'm really flattered."
" Now I must get back to the Shop."
Ginny stepped forward. " Do you need help Sir with the shop. I could do part time during the holidays."
" No dear. Thank you all the same. But I will be closing the doors of Flourish and Blotts forever."
" No " cried Hermione. " Please dont Sir. I love Flourish and Blotts. It's the main bookstore. Everyone depends on it."
" I dont think I can carry on Hermione."
" Shayne would have hated this Sir. He would have despised it."
" Well I'll concider it Hermione. But at the moment my mind is set."
Hermione sighed as he walked out.
" I would hate to see Flourish and Blotts go."
Mrs Weasley nodded. " I refuse to buy in the other store in Diagon Alley. The family are very dark."
" Mr Florian does books " said Hermione. " But it is tradition to buy from Flourish and Blotts."
" Dont worry Hermione " said Mr Weasley. " The ministry will help him out. They already owe him a lot."
