Hermione Malfoy?! (Dramione)

X. Happy Birthday, Beaver

I went down to the sixth, fifth, fourth, third and second floor and all of the students that I passed by were greeting me a happy birthday and all I can do was to say thankyou for the thousandth time. I went inside the Great Hall to have my lunch but all of my closest friends are nowhere to be found. I headed to the Gryffindor Table on where I usually sit but beside Parvati and Seamus.

"Uhm, Happy Birthday Hermione." Parvati greeted.

"Thanks."

"Yeah. Happy Birthday." Seamus uttered and I also thanked him. I turned my gaze to the Slytherin Table but I didn't see the platinum blonde hair I always see on that table. I didn't even see Blaise, Pansy or Theo on the table.

"Uhm, where are they? Uhm, Harry, Ron, all of them?" I asked Parvati and Seamus.

"Uhm, they went out, I heard they were going somewhere, muttering about Hogsmeade. I thought you're coming also." Parvati said and looked at Seamus.

"Yeah, they left early in the morning. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Lavender, Neville, Luna and even some Slytherins." Seamus added. Great, they left me without telling me that they're leaving for Hogsmeade and it was exactly as my birthday. All of them forgot that today was my birthday, how pathetic I am. How will I celebrate my birthday without them?

"Oh. Alright. I gotta go now." I said picking only a toast cause I lost my appetite. They waved a goodbye and I walked out of the Great Hall. I bumped into someone and I quickly looked who was it.

"Hey. I'm sorry." I muttered and bowed my head in embarrasment.

"Oh. It's alright, by the way, Happy Birthday." He said and I focused my gaze on his face.

"Uhm, thanks, Cormac. Uhm, is there any schedule of practice in the quidditch pitch today?" I asked Cormac McLaggen, keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

"Uhm, none. The next scheduled practice was tomorrow afternoon, Gryffindors." He said and I thanked him before leaving and going on the nearest broom closet. I got a broom for me and headed to the quidditch pitch. When I entered the pitch, I got the snitch from the box where I saw Draco got it. I let it flew away for a matter of 2-3 minutes before I aim for it. I did it for almost 20 times, I release it for 2-3 minutes, aim for it, and caught it after 2-3 minutes, rest for a bit and then do it again. I didn't noticed how the time passed by so fast and when I looked at my wrist watch, it was already 4:00 in the afternoon. I landed and put the snitch inside the box where I got it. In my lazy state, I flew using the broom to the tree where we last have our picnic in the Room of Requirement. I landed and sat under the tree, hug my leg and buried my face on my knees. It's few minutes later when I realized that my jeans was wet, I was crying all the time. This was a very special day of me.. This was the day that I turned 18, that I'm now an adult but I'll just spend it wasting my time on catching a golden ball with wings for almost 20 times, again and again. How could they do this to me? They forgot me, my birthday and they didn't even invited me to go with them to Hogsmeade. I planned for this day, that I will be happy, that I won't do anything that will made me stressed but what can I do? I don't know how will I celebrate alone. Ofcourse, I can't blame them for forgetting the birthday of a know-it-all, of a girl who always think that she's always right, the girl who-

"Hermione Granger.." I heard a soft voice of a girl. I quickly wiped my eyes and looked up.

"Why?" I asked the first year I helped a few weeks ago.

"Uhm, can you come with me? Cathlin, my classmate was stucked on a closet. She was trapped by Peeves. I can't find any prefect or the headboy and I found you here." Cathy said and I eagerly got to my feet.

"Where is she?" I asked her.

"She was on the 7th floor near the portrait of Professor Snape and the four heads. There was a door there where she was stucked." She said.
