After leaving the dead Ollivander in his shop, accompanied by Fudge, Heidi felt as though a cold hand grabbed her heart, freezing it. She stopped and put her hands over her heart to make sure it was still beating. Of course, it was. Her breathing was shattered and heavy. She dropped to her knees to catch her breath. Harry and Parvati looked back and rushed to her side. "Heidi? What's wrong?" Parvati asked, holding Heidi. "Nothing. I just felt a little dizzy," she lied(she was a very good liar). "Are you sure?" Harry asked. "Dad, I'm fine."

After buying Heidi's cauldrons, a loud rumbling like voice roared through the crowd. "Harry!" "Hagrid! Old friend, how are you these days?" "Jus' fine." They shook hands. "Aw! An' this mus' be Heidi." "Correct, you are Hagrid," Harry said proudly. "She's got all yer genes, Harry," Hagrid said as he looked at Heidi in awe. "I know she does, Hagrid." There was a silence. "Oh! Sorry! Heidi, this is my life-long friend from Hogwarts, Rubeus Hagrid." "Hello," Heidi said, "Rubeus?" "No, Heidi! Call me Hagrid." "Okay, Hagrid."

Hagrid shopped along with Harry and family until he felt it was his time to go because of a special engagement he had to prepare. "Nice ter see yeh 'gain Heidi. Good luck at Hogwarts," he said shaking Heidi's hand roughly. "Thanks," Heidi said, shaking from the large man's handshake. They all waved and said their goodbyes. Heidi glanced at her list of school supplies. "Mum? Dad? Do you think maybe I could get an owl for school?"

 "Of course. But not now," Parvati replied. Parvati and Harry both gleamed at Heidi. There was to be a surprise party for Heidi's eleventh birthday. But of course, she didn't know.

Back at the Potter's, Hagrid, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and family, Sirius Black, Harry's friends from school and Parvati's friends and family were setting up the house for the party. They set up ribbons, cakes, music, presents, and much, much more. The lights went out when Ginny came in proclaiming that Harry's car had just turned the corner on their street. "George! Stop stepping on my feet!"

 "It's not me, Ron!"

 "Fred?!"

"Sorry, Ron. I honestly thought that you were Percy."

"Well, now I know how you feel about me, Fred!!"

 "Herm-own-ny, stop vith the shaking."

"Can't. I'm way too excited."

"Sirius! Stop breathing in my ear!"

 "Ron stop blaming people. It's not me."

 "Sorry. Then whoever it is, please stop it."

 "Fred, George! Stop pestering your brother!"

 "Ah! But we're having such fun."

 "I mean it, boys."

 "Sorry, Mum."

 "This is too noisy."

 "Eww! What's that awful stench?"

 "Sorry, Ron. Sirius just transformed. Everyone is way too excited."

 "Tell me about it."

"They're walking up from the car, Mother."

 "Ginny! Get away from that window! They could see you!"

 "Sorry!"

 "Molly, dear, settle down."

 "Everybody! Hush up."

 "Sirius, yeh better change back. Harry's a-comin'."

"Right, Hagrid. I did already."

"Good."

 "Silence! They are at the door!"

Silence came across the room until Padma whispered, "I get to see my little niece."

"Padma! Shh!"

The door creaked open and Harry switched on the light. "Surprise!" Heidi jumped back in horror, "Mum! Dad! Who are these people? I know Padma, Grandmother, Hermione, Viktor, Ron and Hagrid. Tell me who they are, please." They walked over to the all red head family. "I know Ron and his parents. Explain the rest please, Dad." Harry led Heidi to the barrel of red-heads.

"This is Ron's family. Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, Percy and Ginny," Harry said as Heidi shook the names of the people Harry had said in order. They all gave her a nice comment on how she had grown. Heidi glanced back at the black haired man behind them frightfully.

"And back there is your Grandfather. He is my god father, but he has adopted you as a granddaughter. Sirius Black." Sirius smiled a friendly grin, "Hey Heidi. Haven't seen you since your were a toddler." Heidi smiled back, still feeling unsure about Sirius Black. "Heidi, these are my friends from Hogwarts when I was a boy. Neville, Dean, Seamus, Cho, Lee, and Nearly Headless Nick. He's the Gryffindor House Ghost." Heidi glanced at her father strangely, "Nearly Headless? How?" Nick had begun to reach for his head. Harry waved his hands, "No Sir Nicholas! Not yet, I don't want Heidi grossed out," Harry said. Nick had put his hand down, "Of course," his voice echoed through the room.

 The party went on as planned. But now it was time for presents. She opened a neatly packaged parcel which held a baby blue sweater with a gold H sewn on the front. It was of course from Mrs. Weasley. Her parents gave her a silver locket with their pictures in it. Fred and George gave her one of their homemade fake wands. Hagrid wanted for Heidi to get ready for Hogwarts, so he gave her The Monster Book of Monsters. Sirius had heard about her incident with Ollivander, so he gave her a new wand. Thirteen inches, very complex, contained a feather from an old snowy owl, flexible, and made from Redwood. And Sirius had also given her a photo album of him and her ten years ago. Hermione and Viktor had given her the books Quidditch Through the Ages and Hogwarts, A Revised History. After that, there was one present left; which was from everyone.

It seemed to be a sheet over a some sort of cage. Heidi carefully removed the sheet. A gorgeous baby snowy owl was there. She was nestled in a nap. "She's so beautiful," Heidi whispered. "Thanks you guys so much." Everyone stared in awe at Heidi and the owl. "I am not sure what to call her, but I think a while." The owl was now perched on Heidi's wrist, but still sleeping. Afterwards, Heidi went to bed, feeling more exhausted than ever. But they party guests stayed.

"Parvati you have a most exceptionally darling daughter," Molly commented. "Thank you, Molly. She really is a joy to have around the house." Harry stood up and announced, with his glass of dinner wine raised, "I wish to make a toast to Heidi's First Year of Hogwarts."

"To Heidi!" echoed everyone.
