Lacy here kids. Sorry for taking so long to get back to Heidi, I was on my holiday break. Posting a whole story, one chapter a day for a week takes its toll. But now we're back! Heidi's past suspicions of Moody make an appearance again along with Ron pestering Heidi about Snape, which causes another row between Heidi and Ron. Go figure. And last but not least for the chapter, we've got the second task. That'll be interesting. Have fun!

Disclaimer: I own Heidi.

Heidi stared at Harry in disbelief as they moved through the castle to the library.

"I'm not even going to pretend to be shocked that you lied about figuring out the clue," Heidi said. "but why in Merlin's good name would you give Mad-Eye to Marauder's Map?"

Harry sighed. He'd known this was coming. "Because he seemed interested in it and it's not like I could say no. He's a teacher here, Heidi. If I hadn't given it willingly, he could have easily confiscated it."

Heidi gave Harry another look. "It's Mad-Eye, Harry. He's not about to pull that with either of us, teacher or not."

"Well I wasn't about to risk it," Harry defended himself. "not to mention I was a bit freaked out about almost being caught by Snape and Filch."

Heidi pushed the library doors open. Alright, she'd give Harry that one. Snape and Filch were a scary combination but still, Heidi couldn't help but wonder what Moody wanted with the map. His eye could see through any disguise and no student could lie, cheat or sneak around with Moody in the castle. So why would he need the map?

"Oh come on, you must know."

Heidi tightened her grip on her charcoal. "Ron, I swear if you don't get out of my face, what Professor Snape is up to will be the least of your worries."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Honestly Ronald, if Heidi knew something, don't you think she would have told us already?"

Ron flopped down in one of the common room chairs. "Who knows! Maybe Snape swore her to secrecy."

Ginny gave Ron a look. "Ron, would you please use your head? If it had something to do with how Harry's name got in the Goblet, none of us would keep it a secret."

Ron gave Heidi a look. "I don't know."

Heidi threw down her charcoal. "Ron, I don't know what your problem is with me but if you honestly think I would keep something a secret that would help solve the mystery of who wants my brother dead, please come out and say it so I know I have good cause for hexing your sorry arse because really," she waved her hands at the group. "I doubt I'm the only one sick of your less then subtle jibs and insults."

Seamus reached for Heidi's hand. "Ladybug,"

Heidi gently shook him off. "I'm fine, Seamus." she collected her things. "I'll see you guys at dinner."

As Heidi left with Luna and Ginny following, Seamus gave Ron a look.

"Just once," he said. "could you not piss my girlfriend off?"

"She knows something," Ron said. "that's why she's defensive."

Hermione slammed her book shut. "Ronald, stop. The only reason Heidi is defensive is because you keep attacking her. Honestly," she stood up. "it's a wonder she really hasn't hexed you yet." she looked at Harry. "I think we should ask your guardians for help."

Harry shut his own book. "I agree." he looked at Ron. "Coming?"

Ron shrugged. "Why not, we're not getting anywhere here."

Seamus shook his head as the trio left. "Sure, he just pissed Heidi off. His work here is done."

Remus leaned forward, his arms resting on his knees. "Well we could try and teach you the Bubble-Head charm,"

Tonks frowned a bit. "Do we have enough time for that?"

Remus shrugged. "It didn't take him long to learn the Patronus charm."

Harry sat on ground in front of the couch. "What is the Bubble-Head charm?"

"It's a charm that when cast, allows you to breathe under water." Tonks explained. "The incantation relatively easy to learn."

"What do you think, Harry?" Hermione said from his side.

Harry nodded. "I say let's go for it."

Heidi hummed softly as she made her way back to the Ravenclaw common room. She'd spent most of the afternoon and evening after dinner in the library, mainly because she knew very few people would bug her there. For some reason, the other three houses avoided the library.

"Miss Potter,"

Heidi turned and saw Snape. "Professor, I was just heading back to my house."

Snape nodded. "You're fine on time, Heidi. However, Professor McGonagall would like to see you."

Heidi frowned as she started walking with Snape. "Any specific reason?"

"There is," Snape confirmed. "but I've been instructed not to tell you. Professor McGonagall will take care of that."

Heidi exhaled and adjusted her bag strap. "Alright then,"

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

Heidi coughed and sputtered as she broke the surface of the water and felt Fleur's sister cling tightly to her arm. That was the last time she went and saw McGonagall without an explanation before hand.

Alright, not as good as I wanted it but I hope you all enjoyed it! The next chapter will have godfather and goddaughter going at it as well as another row with Snape and Heidi. Yeah, a lot of fighting happens in this book. I blame Heidi's temper. Okay! Let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading.
