Hermione gave Shayne a hug and a small kiss as she got ready to leave. Harry shook his hand and smiled. He was actually a very nice guy. He knew a lot about Quiddich and had some very interesting stories from within the Auror department of the ministry. Ron sulked in a corner and refused to meet Shayne's eyes when he shook his hand at the end.

" So Harry. If you do concider a career as an Auror. Id be happy to set up a meeting for you. I could put in a good word for you if you like and you too Missy " he added to Hermione with a wink in his eye.

" Yeah thanks " replied Harry. " It would be great. Only I'd have to get a good few NEWTS."

Shayne bent down to Harry and looked behind him . " Listen Harry. The ministry is in turmoil at the moment. People are being murdered left , right and centre. I've heard them at the ministry Harry. They want you on their team as soon as possible. You could fail everything and I assure you they would still let you in."

Harry smiled and said thanks again.

" I didn't make much of an impression on your friend Hermione. I'm sorry."

" Oh never mind Ron " said Hermione in a hard tone. " He just being rude and he knows it. I'm really glad we came Shayne."

" So am I " he replied. He picked up his wand , took Hermione's hand and kissed it. " Till we meet again fair lady."

She smiled and nodded. " I'd really like that. Maybe for coffee during the weekends in Hogmeade. I have to go back to school next week."

" I make deliverys to Hogwarts " said Shayne. " I'm sure you could meet me at the gate sometimes. I love Hogmeade. You can bet I will be there."

She nodded and smiled at Harry. " Goodbye Shayne."

He smiled and walked out the door and Disapparated before their eyes.

Hermione turned to Harry her eyes full of anger. " He did this on purpose Harry. He embarassed me today."

" Shayne?"

" No Ron. He was so rude and Shayne was so polite to him. It was humiliating."

" Hermione Ron's just not himself today."

" You're Wrong Harry. The problem is he is himself and thats something I am finding hard to deal with."

Harry sighed.

" Shayne told me today that I could do better " said Hermione. " And do you know what Harry. I think he's right."
