Hermione's Birthday

Hermione opened her eyes to see brilliant sunrays above her. She smiled as she wiggled out of her bed and started getting ready for the Saturday ahead.

Today was her birthday and just like the ordinary teenager, she wouldn't to leave her birthday without a greeting from her friends

Hermione skipped out of the dorm humming a “Happy Birthday To You” to herself. She climbed down the staircase to see the common room before her. She looked around and saw her best friends talking among themselves

“Hey Harry! Hey Ron!” she said happily walking to them

Harry and Ron looked up and to Hermione's surprise they looked nervous

“Er - hi Hermione” Ron said casually “We were just going down for breakfast”

Then without a word, Ron and Harry left Hermione

“But” she said looking hurt as they climbed out of the portrait hole “It's my birthday”

Feeling hurt and disappointed, Hermione walked out of the portrait hole wondering if this would be a good birthday

She went down the Grand Staircase and entered the entrance hall afterwards. She came inside the Great Hall and sat down beside Harry who were talking about Quidditch

“The beater tryouts are next week” Ron said excitedly as he ate a piece of bacon “I can't wait and the Chaser tryouts will be exciting since Dean told me that a lot are experienced but that I will have to see”

Hermione gave Ron a near glare while he talked. They are talk about Quidditch and they completely forgot about her birthday!

“Let's just hope that one of them is good” said Harry “It's important”

My birthday is important, Hermione thought through gritted teeth

“Hermione?” Ron said as if he saw her just now “Er - how do you feel?”

Hermione noticed Ron giving a glance to Harry. A worried glance

Hermione just glared at Ron and she glared at Harry. Feeling more hurt than before she decided to not eat. So she left the Great Hall without a word

Hermione bit her lower lip as she made her way to the library. A lone tear rolled down her cheek

I can't believe that my best friends forgot about my birthday! After all I've done for them! I never missed their birthdays…

She covered her mouth to stop herself from sobbing. She looked around if anyone watched that and fortunately, no one was there.

Hermione entered the library, took out a book and sat down flipping the pages sadly. She had no idea what book she was reading

“Hello Hermione”

Hermione looked up and saw a girl in a white hood her face concealed. It was Fiyuna

“Happy Birthday” Fiyuna said giving her a long box “Rapticon Sr. and I bought it. I hope you like it”

Hermione took the box and opened it. It was a golden quill, a brilliant one to be exact. Hermione closed it and smiled at Fiyuna

“What did Harry got you for your birthday?” Fiyuna asked

Hermione frowned and shook her head

“He didn't give you anything?”

Hermione nodded and was surprise to see Fiyuna smirking under her hood

“I see… anyway, I better be going now” said Fiyuna “Happy Birthday”

Just like the ordinary teenager, one would not leave their birthday without a greeting from their friends. Hermione received Birthday cards from family but none from Harry or Ron. All she wanted was a greeting.

“Hermione? Is that you?”

Hermione, who was covering her face since she was crying, looked up and saw her Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Rapticon Sr. looking down

“What are you doing there?” he bent down at her small figure “Crying behind a suit of armor isn't a place for the birthday girl to cry”

Hermione sniffed and smiled. She climbed out from behind the suit of armor, wiped her tears away and fixed herself before looking up at Rapticon Sr.

“Why are you crying?” he asked with concern “Today's your birthday and here I see you crying your eyes of behind some piece of metal”

Hermione noticed the suit of armor's helmet looked at Rapticon Sr.

“Hey” said Rapticon Sr. pointing a finger at the suit of armor “I don't want to fight with you”

The armor went back to its normal lifeless state

“Anyway” Rapticon Sr. said “I'm just saying that today is your birthday and with you crying I know something's wrong. Um - unless there is something wrong?”

Hermione bit her lower lip and nodded

“Let me guess, Harry and Ron forgot your birthday?”

Hermione nodded again

“My tip is keep waiting” said Rapticon Sr. smirking which is the same smirk Fiyuna gave Hermione back at the library

After drowning - not literally - on tea with Rapticon Sr., Hermione went back to the common room. After climbing the portrait hole, she saw Harry, Ron and Ginny talking in their favorite seats. Hermione sighed and sat with them.

“Hi Hermione” Ginny said. Hermione noticed Ginny looked at Harry alarmingly

“Er - don't you have to study for a big test?” Ron asked gingerly

Hermione felt offended at this. So she shook her head slowly and hard defiantly

“I see and er - do you have elf hats to knit?” Ron asked quickly

Feeling so hurt and angry at them for forgetting the most important day of her life, Hermione stood up and ran up to the girl's dormitory bursting into tears

- - -

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday… Happy Birthday to me

This song played in Hermione's head repeatedly as she cried in the most secluded spot in the library. Missing your birthday is not bad but forgetting it is

Hermione sniffed and wiped her eyes with her handkerchief. While wiping her eyes, she felt someone's hand hold hers. She pulled the handkerchief away to see Harry smiling at her warmly

“I knew you'd be here… how many times I would catch you here crying when something bad happens” said Harry

Hermione threw daggers at him but was grateful that Harry came here

“What are you doing here?” she asked sternly “I thought you've got some important things to attend to than” she paused “me”

“What are you talking about?” Harry asked

“Y-you forgot my birthday!” Hermione said loudly standing up glaring at Harry

“No I haven't” Harry said calmly. Hermione felt insulted he was still smiling

“Oh yes you did!” Hermione said “You didn't give me a greeting, a gift, a cake or any of those! Because of you and Ron, this is my worst birthday ever!”

Hermione walked to the corner and started crying. She felt Harry's hand held her shoulder

“Hermione, like I said before, I never forgot your birthday”

Hermione turned and saw Harry smiling at her

“Follow me. I've got something to show you”

Hermione followed Harry to another place of the library which turned out to be where she usually studies. Hermione gasped when she saw a delicious looking cake on top of a table surrounded by books, parchment paper, quills and other school materials

“It took me an hour to ask Madam Pince to have your cake here” Harry said smirking “I added the school materials to match your personality

And for the first time in a long time, Hermione smiled at Harry

“You did this… for me?”

“I wasn't alone though” said Harry nodding to a direction

Cue to this, Ron, Ginny and some Gryffindors came out behind bookshelves beaming at Hermione

“The original plan was to put in the common room but since I saw you burst into tears back there I had to make changes” said Harry “It may not be the best but there you go”

Hermione walked closer to the cake and beamed at all of the people around her

“Er - thank you”

“Actually, Harry planned it all” Dean said “He came to us last week and asked us to prepare for your birthday”

Hermione turned to Harry who was looking at her gingerly

“Oh” Ginny said “Happy Birthday!” she added happily as the others followed

Hermione smiled and looked at her birthday cake. It was chocolate. Her favorite flavor.

“Blow and make a wish, Hermione!” Ron said

Hermione nodded. She closed her eyes and made a wish

I wish… good things will happen to me - I mean I hope good things will happen to my friends and family

She opened her eyes and blew the candles as the Gryffindors applauded

- - -

After eating the cake and cleaning up, everyone left except for Harry who was picking up the school materials which was his. Hermione was still there watching him clean

“Er - thanks again for what you did” she said gingerly as Harry picked up some parchment and placed it inside a bag

“No problem” Harry said “Anything for my best friend”

Hermione smiled and looked at the bracelet Ginny gave her a while ago.

“Oh yeah” Harry said who was looking at Hermione the whole time “I forgot my birthday present”

Hermione looked up and saw Harry walk up to her and planted a kiss on her cheek. Hermione bit her lower lip stunned. She started blushing

“Like it?” Harry asked “I couldn't find anything else but that's all I can give for all the things you've done for me”

Hermione nodded still biting her lower lip and blushing

“You're so cute when you look nervous” said Harry as he hoisted the bag up and left the library with a blushing Hermione following at his wake.
