Lacy here with the next Heidi chapter. This one's gonna be mostly humor. At least that's what I'm aiming for. We all know how often my aim actually hits. So, we've got Heidi almost hexing Draco, Moody introducing Heidi to her new best friend, the Grim and a surprise for Heidi during Sirius's class that has the old Marauder freaking out. *nods* That'll be the funniest part. Have fun!

Disclaimer: I own Heidi.

Heidi fought with her uniform tie as she made her way down to breakfast. She'd woken up annoyingly early and after drawing in the common room for almost an hour, decided to beat the rush and head to the Great Hall.

Finally getting her tie right, Heidi entered the Hall and was greeted by the sight of Draco entertaining some of his fellow Slytherins by acting out how he thought Heidi and Harry had reacted to the dementors on the train the night before.

Growling low in her throat, Heidi reached into her robes for her wand.

"I wouldn't do that, lass."

Heidi closed her eyes in annoyance and turned to face Moody. "Why not? I've done it twice before."

Moody's magic eye swirled at her. "So I heard. You'll behave this year if ya know what's good for ya."

Heidi smirked and went to say something when she caught sight of a man behind Moody. Standing just shy of Remus's height, Lawrence Savage wasn't the nicest looking guy. He always had a scowl on his face and he tended to snap, more then Moody. He had short dark brown hair and gray eyes. And for some reason that Heidi could never figure out, he always wore a muggle business suit under his Auror robes. Tonks said it was because he was muggleborn and his parents were unsure about all things magic so it was for when he went to visit them. Heidi just figured he was weird.

"Heidi, I'm sure you remember Auror Savage." Moody said, motioning to the man.

Heidi nodded. "Sure do. Good to see you again."

Savage returned the nod. "You as well, Miss Potter."

Heidi held back a sigh of annoyance. "Look, Savage, if we're going to make it through this without me blowing up, you're gonna have to call me Heidi. Only the Minister has gotten away with calling me Miss Potter and that's because Aunt Dora and Captain Happy here," she motioned to Moody, who scowled at her. "won't let me correct him."

Savage smiled, shocking Heidi. "You've got yourself a deal, Heidi."

Heidi looked at Moody. "Why can't you agree that easily?"

Moody narrowed both eyes at her. "Because I've known ye since you were born."

Heidi grinned as Moody walked away, leaving her with Savage.

"So," Heidi said. "do you have to follow me everywhere or am I allowed to eat without a shadow?"

"Sorry Heidi," Savage said. "but I've been ordered not to leave you until the end of the day when I return you to your common room."

Heidi sighed. "Alright, let's go."

The two entered the Great Hall but didn't get very far.

"Who's that, baby Potter?" Draco asked. "A new body guard?"

Heidi turned to him. "Yeah, he's here to make sure I don't hex your sorry arse. Keep pushing though, I wanna see if I can get away with hitting you."

Savage prodded Heidi in the back. "Keep going Heidi."

Heidi looked up at Savage as they moved through the Hall. "Keep doing that and we'll end up having a problem."

Heidi frowned as she watched Ron, Hermione, Seamus, Harry and his very own body guard, Auror Arnold Williamson, walk into the Hall at lunch. Heidi knew why Harry looked annoyed, for the same reason she did. But she didn't get what was wrong with the others.

"Morning classes not go well?" She asked as they joined her at the end of the Gryffindor table.

"Trelawney saw the Grim in Harry's tea leaves." Seamus said as he plopped down beside Heidi.

Heidi cocked a brow as she put her juice down. "Kinda makes sense she would see that."

Hermione frowned. "Why?"

Heidi waved up at the teacher's table. "Sirius's animagus for looks a lot like the Grim, don't ya think?"

Harry nodded. "Heidi's right. So," he looked at Ron. "you can all stop looking like I'm going to drop dead any minute."

"I'm sorry but she looked so sure!" Ron defended himself.

Heidi went to open her mouth but Luna kicked her under the table. Heidi sighed. Fine, she'd let that one go. Lord knows her shadow would probably ruin it anyway.

Heidi nibbled on the end of her quill as she flipped through her text book in History of Magic, Sirius's class. He had them all working on a small review essay to see what they remembered from the term before. Taking a tiny break, Heidi glanced at the window and her eyes nearly fell out.

"Um, Padfo-I mean, Professor Black," Heidi said lamely.

Sirius frowned as he walked over to Heidi. "What is it, Heidi?"

All Heidi did was point out the window. The class and Sirius turned to see Harry riding around outside on the back of a hippogriff.

"That's so cool!" Ginny and Luna chorused just before-

"I AM GOING TO KILL HAGRID!"

Apparently Sirius didn't think it was that cool.
