Dear Mom & Dad, Ginny, Weasley's, Professors, Classmates, Friends, and Enemies;

It's that day again. You know, the day that is a celebration of my birth? They forgot it again. They always forget me. I'm just shoved aside and they only acknowledge me when they need me. Right now is one of those times that they don't need me.

Harry is better than Ron I guess, Harry was the one who saved me in my first year. Ron just went along with Harry because Ron wanted to be important. Harry saved me, Ron didn't. But people still say "It's the thought that counts!". But the thought wasn't "It's the right thing to do" the thought was "I'll be famous and important."

Don't they understand that I have feelings too? Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I don't have feelings! They aggravate me so much. It's yet another year. They forgot again. I remember their birthdays! We've been friends since first year. How can they not remember? Sure I'm not the kind of girl who shouts out to the world, "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" But I am the kind of girl who tells her best friends. Harry and Ron forgot. My best friend Ginny remembered.

I guess they don't realize things. But I just wished they did. This is my last letter written as Hermione Granger. My last letter written as one of the "Golden Trio". My last letter written as a "filthy mudblood". My last letter written as a witch. Goodbye forever. We may meet again, but only I will know you and you won't know me. My life will be changed. Hermione Granger will exist no more. I will change my name, change my looks, change everything. Don't ever look for me, if you do, you'll be sorry.

With love only to those who deserve it,

Hermione Jane Granger

A/N: This is just a one-shot I dreamed up on my birthday (which happened recently). My brothers forgot my birthday, and I was depressed so I read fanfics, and then I realized that Hermione's birthday never is mentioned. I mean, Ron, Harry, and Ginny's birthdays are mention, but Hermione's isn't. I thought that after a while, that would be depressing, so I wrote a oneshot about it.

I would like to thank my beta for giving me a 10 thumbs up and my brothers for forgetting my birthday. Without them, you wouldn't be able to enjoy this one shot today.

Also, if you liked this short story, please read my other stories. This is my first story like this, so please tell me what you think. Thank you!
