This is the next chapter. Please read and review, love Hannah xxx

Heidi arrived at the Ritz with her things and Ivy insured she could get a suite there without question for the four days before school. She paid all the money upfront so they couldn't say anything to her. As Ivy herself had done the magic and insured it couldn't be traced their stay would go unnoticed by the magical authorities and the hotel management. Ace was happy to be going to a warm place. Ace had asked Heidi if she'd mind her wrapping around her belly or arm during classes which Heidi had said she'd think about. She didn't think it would be a problem but she'd need to do it every so often and not every day. Ace would be fine with this she was sure of it. Given that they now had their own rooms instead of their previous dorms she wouldn't need to worry about any of the other girls being alarmed by Ace's presence in their sleeping quarters. If people couldn't handle Ace then that was on them.

Elsewhere Filius had returned to the Dursley household whereupon he'd made them drink some veritas serum and swear to treat Heidi better using wandless magic which they eventually did even if it was only out of fear. He told them she wouldn't be returning until next summer which they were relieved about. Vernon was totally mortified he'd broken their own front door in a fit of rage and that it had been entirely his own fault to boot. When it had been repaired he'd had to lie and say he slipped on the hall mat and fell down crashing into the door. The guy who was replacing it told him to be careful and gave them a brand new sturdier door with new keys. This door was plastic instead of wood like their old one so it wouldn't break so easily in future.

They had sworn while under the effects of truth serum that they would get Heidi anything she wanted if it got the magical world which they truly did fear and hate to stay away from them. He was shocked at how scared of Voldemort they truly were. At least he could say that this was a sensible fear. He couldn't understand their fear of the magical world because they said it didn't stem from Lily dying there. After he left leaving a threat of his return if they did not behave a terrified Petunia who had wrongly underestimated his small height before went out and bought some toys for Heidi which she left in her room. She got her some nail polishes and a special gem design kit to go with it, some make up, hair accessories such as a blow dryer, straightener and curler and finally a couple of cute plush toys. Hopefully that would be good enough. She'd spent four hundred pounds in total and while Vernon was furious about it he soon got over it. Anything was worth it if he never needed to see a freak again. In truth he'd sooner rarely have to see them then see them all the time. He was not truly naïve enough to believe he'd never really see them ever again as that wouldn't have been logical in the long run.

They contented themselves with the fact that they would only ever need to see her for three months per year in the summer time. If you added all of that time up over her seven years at Hogwarts it would be about two years in comparison with seven. Filius cast a small monitoring charm on some fabricated ornaments which he quickly placed with notice me not charms on them all around the house before he left. This way he could insure they kept up with their promises and never abused or shall we say neglected Heidi again. In her room now Heidi ordered room service and was thrilled. She got some yummy carbonara and a side of broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, parsnips and carrots. It was truly delicious. As a desert she ate some melon. Ivy let her know what Filius had done and showed her the things that her terrified aunt had bought her which made her gasp and make a face.

She looked in mild horror at the designer make up. Petunia had bought her everything from Dior and she panicked when she saw it. She didn't even know how to put it on. She started to seriously hyperventilate her surroundings beginning to spin in a dizzy haze. Her breath was ragged coming out in short uncontrollable bursts. She was having a panic attack and Ivy was very concerned for her.

"Heidi please calm down. Here I've got you some tea. Take slow breaths in and out and take a sip please!" she guided kindly as Heidi was able to focus enough to do it. Slowly she felt her breath slow down and become regular as her sight returned to normal and everything stopped spinning. She took a sip of the tea and soon relaxed fully crying her eyes out. It was all too much. Harry had never needed to worry about things like makeup. What if she got it all wrong? What if everyone laughed at her for being silly? She was very lucky because her Peverell ring gave her prefect occlumency as it did with each family member who had a ring in the old days. So at least she could relax knowing that no one would ever know her thoughts.

"I'm scared Ivy. I don't know how to use makeup and I don't want to be laughed at!" she confessed blushing through her tears. Ivy smiled at her and grabbed a tissue drying her eyes.

"Don't you worry Heidi. My last mistress knew all about makeup and so I know all about it too. I will teach you. First let me tell you about each product and what they do! Don't worry Ivy will have her Missy Heidi looking perfect and well cared for. Makeup doesn't need to be worn everyday either if you don't like!" she said carefully and calmly explaining everything to Heidi who seemed to seriously calm down once she knew about them. It was like knowing about them and how to use them really did make all the difference. She knew how to use the hair products as she had seen adverts on the tele about them before which explained how to use them. She was ok as soon as she knew about how everything worked but it had been a tough adjustment and she'd been far too hard on herself something she now knew. She had expected herself to just be able to adjust like that which was unrealistic to say the least. She was now learning to take each day as it came and to not expect herself to automatically know everything all at once.

She had managed to just about learn to deal with her cycles as she remembered Hermione and Ginny complaining about them before. She could use pain relief for the pain so that was fine but learning about how to use the products was totally new to her. Harry had been with Hermione once when she was buying pads so he did know about them just not how they worked. Ivy had gotten her pretty reusable pads which she would wash after Heidi had worn each one for a day. They were great for the environment. Heidi learned of course that like Ginny and Hermione she too craved things with her cycle. Ginny had craved cakes and Hermione had craved chocolate. Heidi herself found she craved both chocolate and sugar quills emphasis on the quills. So far today she'd had two sugar quills. It did taste lovely though.

After her panic attack she vowed to always have some calming draft in her handbag. One never could be too sure. She went into the bathroom hoping into the Jacuzzi bath which Ivy had prepared for her. She was lucky to have such a kind and caring elf. She was in a weird way delighted her panic attack had happened now so the other girls in school would not be witness to it. She felt all of her stressed melt away with the bubbles on her body. That night and she sunk into bed she took a calming draft for good measure and fell into a deep and peaceful sleep. What a day!
