The dinner table was set, candles lit and the plates and silverware out and carefully put into place. The Potter's good friends Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Viktor and Hermione Krum and a lot of old friends from their old school, Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, were celebrating Harry and Parvati's child's birth. And his Godfather, Sirius Black, showed up.
Parvati had married Harry six years after finishing their seventh year at Hogwarts. Parvati and Harry have now become Professors at Hogwarts. Harry took over as the Flying teacher after Madam Hooch had fallen off a broom during a Quidditch Match and was paralyzed. Parvati was now teaching for Transfiguration classes.
Hermione Granger Krum had married Viktor Krum three years ago in July, precisely a week before Harry's birthday. Viktor Krum was still the Seeker for the Bulgarian Quidditch team plus he was the Minister of Magic of the Ministry of Magic in Bulgaria. Hermione, however, was the Head of Gryffindor, she was also being the new class Professor, House-Elf Education class.
Ron Weasley was not hitched but he hung out a lot with Fleur Delacour, but just as friends. He took over Snape's job as Potion's Master after Snape moved to be the teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Hagrid was still teacher of Care of Magical Creatures. Neville and the rest of Harry's friends, from the same years he had been in Gryffindor with, had been hired at shops in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.
Harry and Parvati slowly walked toward the door as on the inside of their house. Parvati held their daughter close to her chest as they approached their home. Later on in the backyard, Hagrid was showing up as they were so close opening their door.
"Am I late? 'S Harry 'ere yet?" he bellowed to the party guests. "He's right outside!" scowled Hermione, "Shh!"
The door creaked open and all the guests yelled, "Congratulations Harry and Parvati!" Harry and Parvati thanked them as all of them glanced at the gorgeous baby girl in Parvati's arms.
"Oh! She's so cute Harry!" gasped Hermione, "What did you guys name her?" she asked anxiously. "Heidi Padma Potter," Harry replied gleefully. Padma, Parvati's sister said excitedly, "You chose her middle name to be my name?"
Just then the door was being knocked on. "Excuse me," Harry said walking towards the door. To his surprise, it was Molly and Arthur Weasley, Ron's siblings; Charlie, Bill, Fred, George, Percy, and Ginny, and who Harry didn't expect to come, Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and Dudley Dursley. The party went on with oncoming guests. But Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia didn't look happy at all. Dudley was actually pleasing himself by stuffing his face in the Apple Bobbing bucket. But that, fortunately, made everyone else back off from the bucket.
Heidi was still being adored by many. Harry and his old friends from Hogwarts rejoiced through out the night. "So, Harry?" asked Ron. "Have you yet auditioned for the England Quidditch team?"
"Yes, Ron. But I haven't gotten a reply yet. They said to wait about a month before knowing if you made it or not."
Fred and George were glancing around at the Potter's things, thinking of ways to jinx them for the fun of it. They placed a transfiguration spell in Parvati's expensive China vase. Who ever opened it would be turned immediately into the thing they most dreaded. For Ron could tell they were up to something mischievous. So he warned everyone not to touch the Chinese vase.
Near the end of the night, almost everyone had left. The house was empty, besides Harry, Hagrid, Parvati, Hermione and Viktor, Ron and Sirius. " Harry?" Sirius asked. " Yeah, Sirius."
" Is your kid going to call me Grandfather?" Sirius asked. Everyone gave a heartily laugh to the remark. " Probably," Harry replied with his arm around Parvati's shoulders. " Harry, do you think Heidi will be a witch?" Hermione asked looking worried. " All I know," Parvati started, " is that Dr. Gosborn thought she was odd."
" 'Ow is 'Eidi odd?" asked Viktor.
Under Heidi's bush of jet black hair; which no one had seen, stood a lightning bolt shaped scar. Not as thick as Harry's, but still it was passed down to her from him. Harry brushed the bangs of his sleeping baby girls hair aside so everyone could see why the doctor thought she was odd.

Heidi grew up for ten years, knowing that she was a witch. She was told she was a witch by her mother on her fourth birthday. She took it as a bit of a shock. But, of course, they hadn't told Heidi she had to go to a special school.
On her eleventh birthday, which happened to be August seventh, her parents wanted to give her everything a witch could want. They had planned to give her own account at Gringotts Wizard Bank, an owl, all her new school supplies, her wand(which she has to go to Olivanders to get one), a broomstick(just in case), and a Broom Servicing Kit. They had it all planned out, just for her.
The day of her birthday came as a surprise. As she came home from her good friend, Emily Kasey's house, she picked up the mail to see if she had gotten anything from her pen pals Tina Bulsh, Michelle Jacquez, or Kira Udy. But on her birthday she found a large parchment envelope labeled:
Heidi Padma Potter
Number 7 Welshton Dr.
Biggest Room
Surrey
Little Whinging
She turned it over to open it when Harry popped into the room. "Come on Heidi. Let's get ready to go out for your birthday. What do you have there?" he asked walking over to Heidi. Heidi had already turned it over getting ready to open it. Harry saw the seal on the letter, it had a lion, a snake, a badger, and an eagle surrounding an H. Knowing it was from Hogwarts, he hollered, "Parvati! Come quick!"
Parvati came and looked at the letter. "Dad? What's this all about?" she asked, utterly confused. "Just open it sweetie and read it a loud." Heidi did as she was told and read:
"Dear Miss Heidi Potter, You have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The list of supplies you will need are on the next piece of parchment. You will be expected to be on Hogwarts Express on September 1st with all the supplies at 11:00. We await your owl. Yours Sincerely, Willis Pelson , Headmaster. P.S. Please inform your parents to use the Portkey in between Ollivanders and Madam Malkin's Cloak Shop for All Occasions."
She stopped and read the most unusual list of school supplies she had ever seen. "Er- Dad? Mum? What's this about? This school for witches and wizards?" Harry decided he would be the one to tell her. "Heidi, your mother and I attended that school. We are both magic folk. And so are you. Remember your fourth birthday? Hmm?"
"Not really."
"Well your mum told you that you were a witch. Once you go through this school you can get your witch license."
"Wow! I hope I pass. Is that where you two work over the school years?" Harry and Parvati both nodded. Heidi smiled and said, "Where are we going for my birthday?" she asked going up the stairs. "A place called Diagon Alley," Harry told her. She smiled and went to her room. She grabbed some pounds to take with her to buy anything she needed for school if she saw some.
Harry and Parvati took Heidi through the Leaky Cauldron and to the back hall. Harry took out his wand as Heidi watched in amazement. He tapped a few rocks mumbling a spell. There was a rumble. The rocks started spreading apart.
People were running every which way on the cobblestone road. "We're here," Parvati whispered to Heidi. Heidi followed alongside her parents whispering something she could make out perfectly, "Do you think she'll meet Snuffles?" asked Parvati
"I told him to meet us at the Portkey on September first."
Soon they came to a large white building with huge lettering saying, "GRINGOTTS." Heidi gasped at the large building. "Your first birthday present is an account at Gringotts Bank for Witches and Wizards." Parvati said clearly.
They walked inside to see goblins working at all of the tables and the eldest was at the far back desk; which Heidi guessed he was the Head Goblin at Gringotts. "Yes?" he said croakily. "We would like to open Heidi Potter's vault," Harry said strongly. "Key?" he said, glancing down at the long black haired girl with bright green eyes. His eyes traveled up to her scar on her forehead. "Here it is sir," Harry said holding up a small silver key, which engraved upon it was the number 1014.
A smaller goblin came up to Harry and family and said, "Follow me." His voice was a lot higher than the other goblins. They followed him to a cart. "Buckle up." As the goblin said those words the cart went speeding forward. By now Harry and Parvati were used to this, but Heidi wasn't. It seemed to go faster than usual. It stopped abruptly as Heidi trembled to get out. "You'll get used to it," whispered Harry to his daughter.
"Key please?" the goblin screeched. Harry gave it to the goblin. The goblin moved a small piece of the vault door and put the key into a small hole in the space and turned it a quarter of a turn and the door opened. Inside there were one hundred Galleons, two hundred Sickles, and two hundred and fifty Knuts. Harry and Parvati decided to put some of their savings in her vault.
"Go on Heidi. Take what you need," Parvati said smiling. Heidi took ten Galleons, twenty Sickles and twenty-five Knuts. They then went to Harry's and Parvati's separate vaults to retrieve money for when they go to Hogsmeade.
They walked to Ollivanders shop to get Heidi her wand. Anyone could tell she was excited. "Ah! Harry Potter!" Ollivander gasped, "Yes," Harry said shaking his hand. "Good to see you again. You now need a wand for whom?" he asked trying to peek around Parvati. Heidi had hidden behind her. "My daughter, Heidi." Ollivander looked splendid to help at any cost. He called his nephew, "Chuck, please fetch me a wand," and Chuck went to the back of the shop filled with boxes. He chose one and came back, "Twelve inches, flexible, mane hair from a female unicorn, made from a dementor's skin," he said placing the wand in Heidi's small hand. Her hand grasped it tightly. "What do I do?" she asked.
"Give it a wave."
Heidi waved it, nothing happened.
Ollivander reached for the wand hoping to swap it with a different one. A bolt of lightning shot from Heidi's wand as Ollivander tried to get it from Heidi. It struck him between the ribs. He groaned. Harry rushed to his side, "Ollivander? Are you okay?" he asked softly, but Ollivander laid motionless. "I-I didn't do anything," Heidi stuttered as Harry and Parvati looked at her stunned. "We know you didn't," Parvati said hugging Heidi. "Ollivander?" Harry was still at Ollivander's side. He held Ollivander's hand, felt his pulse. "Nothing," Harry said, awfully quietly. "Oh no," Parvati whispered. Parvati ran out of the shop and went to the Ministry of Magic. She came back panting with Cornelius Fudge at her side. He saw Ollivander sprawled across the floor. "What happened to Mr. Ollivander?" he asked testing his pulse just like Harry had done. "We don't know. It was like the wand attacked him," Harry said moving back towards his family. "Which wand?" Fudge asked sternly. Heidi stepped forward, "This one," she held out her hand with the wand in it. Fudge eyed her seriously. "Do you remember what he said about this wand, Heidi?" His beady eyes looked her in the eyes very strongly. " Er- it was like twelve inches, mane hair from a female unicorn-I think, and something about it being made from something known as a dementor's skin," she told him quietly. " Dementors control this wand. It must be done away with," Fudge said walking out of the store to see the whole street silent.
"Dad? What is a dementor?" Heidi asked looking at Olivander sadly. "Well, they guard prisoners at Azkaban, or the Wizard Prison. They suck happiness and warmth from rooms with one breath. They've got scaly hands and a pure black cloak over their heads. Whenever someone in Azkaban does something, like one of the Unforgivable Curses, they perform what's called..." Harry paused, the Dementor's Kiss." Heidi looked scared, "Dementor's Kiss?" she asked shakily. "Yes," replied Harry and Parvati.
"What does it do?"
"It's worse than death. It makes you have no happiness, you are kind of dead and alive at the same time."
