Lacy here kiddos with the next Heidi chapter. *grins* This chapter, like the last, will be starting on a funny note. *nods* And for the same reason as well. This time, it's Sirius's turn to find out about Heidi and Seamus. This is going to be funnier then Harry's reaction but less threatening then what Remus's will be. Don't worry, Remus finding out is coming. *laughs* That'll be good. Alright, have fun!

Disclaimer: I own Heidi.

Heidi laughed with Luna, Ginny, Seamus and Dean as the five made their way out of the Great Hall to head to their first lesson. As Heidi and Seamus stopped for a moment, the other three looked at them.

"Ah," Dean smirked. "I think they would like to say bye in private."

Ginny laughed. "You're standing in front of the Great Hall, Heidi. Aren't you afraid of Remus seeing?"

Heidi shook her head. "He's still in the Marauder's Quarters."

"We'll leave you two alone then," Luna said with a laugh.

Seamus and Heidi rolled their eyes as their friends walked away laughing.

"Well we knew they wouldn't make it easy on us," Heidi said as she faced Seamus.

Seamus snorted. "Of course not. I am surprised that Harry hasn't glued himself to your side to make sure we aren't doing anything."

Heidi scoffed. "Harry knows better." she heard the bell for first class. "Alright, I better be off."

Seamus leaned down and kissed her.

"Heidi Lily Potter!"

Seamus and Heidi froze. Not exactly the voice they were fearing but still not a good one.

"Hey Padfoot," Heidi said as she slowly turned.

Sirius, who seemed to be frozen, stared between his goddaughter and the boy who was still holding her hand.

Seamus cleared his throat. "I'm gonna-"

"Not move one inch, Mr. Finnigan." Sirius said, snapping back to himself. "How long has," he waved a hand at them. "this-this-this thing been going on?"

Heidi winced at the shrill sound in her godfather's voice. "Since the World Cup." she caught the look on Sirius's face. "You told me to go find someone I knew!"

"I didn't mean find someone to snog once school started!" Sirius shot back.

Heidi rolled her eyes. "I'm not just snogging him, Pad. He's my boyfriend."

Sirius shut his eyes. "I did not hear that."

Heidi looked at Seamus. "Go to class. I've got him."

Seamus nodded and, feeling brave, gave Heidi one more kiss before taking off down the hall.

Sirius glared at the boy.

"Oi," Heidi swatted Sirius's arm. "leave him alone and don't tell Uncle Moony."

Sirius went wide eyed. "Papa Wolf doesn't know?"

Heidi shook her head. "And he won't until I tell him myself."

Sirius winced. He never could keep things from Remus or James. This was going to be interesting.

"He looked kind of sad showing us the hippogriffs," Luna commented as the girls talked about their Care of Magical Creatures class.

"Well the last class he showed them to was Harry," Heidi said. "and thanks to Malfoy, look how that turned out."

Ginny grunted. "I'd like to give that arse a piece of my mind."

"And there's a picture Weasley!"

Heidi glared hard. "He just might get it."

"Get stuffed, Malfoy," Harry said. "C'mon Ron,"

"Oh yeah, you were with them this summer, weren't you, Potter?" Draco sneered. "So tell me, is his mother really that porky, or is it just the picture?"

"You know your mother, Malfoy?" Harry said. Both he and Hermione grabbed Ron to hold him back. "that expression she's got, like she's got dung under her nose? Has she always looked like that, or was it just because you were with her?"

"I don't know Harry," Heidi stepped up beside her brother. "we've known Narcissa for years, I think she's always looked that way when Draco's around."

"Don't you dare insult my mother," Draco glared at them.

"Keep your fat mouth shut, then," Harry said as they turned away.

BANG

Several people screamed as Heidi and Harry felt something white-hot graze between them. A second bang rang through the hall before they could pull their wands.

"OH NO YOU DON'T LADDIE!"

Everyone turned as Mad-Eye limped over. His wand was out and it was pointing right at a pure white ferret, which was shivering on the stone-flagged floor exactly where Draco had been standing.

Heidi wanted to laugh. Mad-Eye had turned Draco into a ferret.

~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~

Heidi frowned as she sat in the Marauder's Quarters doing her homework. She was thinking about Mad-Eye turning Draco into a ferret and bouncing him around the entrance hall. At the time it had been hilarious but now that Heidi stopped and thought, it wasn't the Mad-Eye Moody she knew, the one she'd grown up around. Yes he thought a wizard who cursed while their enemy had their back turned as a coward but never would he go as far as he had today.

Sitting back, Heidi tried to think what had caused him to do it. Maybe the rumors were true, maybe he was finally cracking in his old age. But then, why would Dumbledore have offered him the DADA job?

Heidi huffed. And here she'd been hoping the year would be easy.

And there's that chapter. Sirius knows, Draco became a bouncing ferret and Heidi knows something's up with Mad-Eye. She'll get more and more suspicious as the year goes on. It'll lead up to how she ties into the grave yard. *pauses* Oops, shouldn't have told you that. Let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading!
