Summary: Hermione wants to be a famous singer in the muggle world.

Note: I'm making a nickname for Hermione so that I don't have to spell it out all the time! It'll be Eri. You just take the m out of it and the e-r-i connect.

Part one: Hermione's POV

I was sitting in Professor Snapes class, tapping my pencil on the desk thinking about how I would tell my mother, when she came on parents day, that I didn't want to graduate from Hogwarts. I've been here for 5 years and I don't want to have a 6th.

"Hermione Granger will you please answer the question?" said Snape.

"What?" I said jolting back to the class.

"Answer the question that I just asked you," he said sharply.

"I wasn't paying attention. Could you repeat it??" I said.

I could feel the heat rise in my face. I looked over to see Harry and Ron laughing at me. I lifted my brow up, questioning them to see if they wanted to keep that laughter up. They immediately stopped.

"Are you having fun tapping your pencil on that desk??" he said.

"Sorry," I said lowering my head.

"I could give you a detention in a flash," he said.

My head jerked up. I swallowed.

"But since you're a straight A student I'll let you slide this once," he said. "Now back to…"

I drifted off again. I want to get out of here.

Just as I thought that, the bell rang. I picked up my books in a daze and breezed off. Not even bothering to wait for Ron or Harry.

"Eri wait up!!" I heard Ron yell.

"Yeah what's the rush," Harry said.

"I'm leaving," I said suddenly.

I guess I had made up my mind that I would leave no matter what anyone thought.

"Leaving? Going to town?" Harry asked.

"No, I mean I'm leaving Hogwarts. I'm going into the muggle world," I said.

"Why don't you just wait until this years over and you can come with me," Harry said.

"You don't understand," I said laughing sadly as I began to walk away.

"What doesn't he understand Eri??" Ron asked.

"I mean I'm not graduating Hogwarts. I'm going into the muggle world to be a famous singer. To full fill my dream," I said to them. "And in order for me to do that I need to be in the muggle world. Which probably means I won't be seeing to much of you guys. I don't even want to be in contact with anyone from Hogwarts."

Ginny and her brothers had been listening to the conversation.

"You can't!! Your so talented! You're the only one in the school who can just look at one of the witch books in the library and know who to do it the first time trying it," Ginny argued.

I smiled at her.

"I'm leaving on parents day," I said.

"What??? That's tomorrow!!!" Harry practically screamed.

Dumbledore came over to see what was wrong.

"She's leaving," Ron said his face full of anger.

I looked at Ron and grief poured into me.

"I'm sorry. I love you all, but I'm leaving," I said.

I looked at all of my friends one last time. A tear slipped down my cheek, I smiled and then turned around to walk to my next class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harry's POV

She can't leave!

"She can't leave Ron," I said to my best friend.

"How are you going to stop her Harry??" Ron said angrily.

"We could tie her down…or something," I suggested.

"Even that wouldn't stop her," Ginny said. "She's determind. Did you see her face??? Nothing you could say will stop her. Nothing."

"What are we going to do?" I asked.

"There's nothing we can do!" Ron said his eyes watering.

Teaser for part two::::::

Part Two: Eri's POV Parents Day

"Mom, I need to tell you something," I said to the mirror. "Ohmygod I look like death walked over when I say that."

I flung myself on my bed. My brown hair spread out on the bed.
