Lacy here kids. Alright, we all know there's been a shift in Snape and Heidi's relationship. Well, he's about to get an earful. Heidi hears about his lesson on werewolves and his assignment for the class and needless to say, she's pissed. Also we'll see the Gryffindor VS Hufflepuff game and Harry falling from his broom...again. He does that a lot. Alright, have fun!

Disclaimer: I own Heidi.

"Why was he pushing so hard for us to learn this?"

Heidi frowned as Harry and the others joined her, Ginny and Luna in the Gryffindor common room.

"Who's pushing for what?" she asked.

Seamus sat beside Heidi. "Snape was covering for Remus today and he was pushing hard for us to learn about werewolves."

Heidi stared at her brother. "What?"

Harry nodded and before anyone could comment, Heidi was out of her seat and out of the room.

"What was that about?" Ron asked.

Harry shook his head. "Don't worry about it guys. Let's just work on this essay." he knew, given Heidi's different relationship with Snape that the Potions master was in for it.

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

"Are you kidding me?" Heidi all but shouted, slamming into the Potions classroom. "You have that big a grudge against Uncle Moony and Padfoot that you're seriously going to risk his job by laying it all out for his students to figure out he's a werewolf?"

Snape glared at her. "Miss Potter-"

"Oh no, it is not Miss Potter right now," Heidi spat. "classes are over for the day and it's just you and I here. Why are you trying to ruin this for Uncle Moony?"

Snape didn't give her an inch. "I am merely trying to inform the students of what I believe they should know."

Heidi wasn't sure she could get any more angry but it turned out she was wrong. "What they should know? What good would it possibly do anyone for everyone to know Uncle Moony is a werewolf? His students would be afraid of him and you know damn well he's never hurt anyone and never bloody will!" she pointed at him. "You may see my mother in me but right now all I'm seeing is someone who is doing something far worse then anything my father ever did to you in school."

Before Snape could respond, Heidi left the classroom, slamming the door as she went.

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

Watching Heidi silently fume as they made their way down to the Quidditch pitch, Seamus, Ginny and Luna exchanged a grin and a look as they saw a giant puddle formed by the rain. With a nod they ran ahead of Heidi, who didn't even notice. Waiting calmly by the edges of the puddle, the three waited for Heidi to step into it before jumping hard into the collected water, drenching Heidi.

Heidi stood motionless as the water dripped off her robes and face. She stared at her three best friends that were grinning at her.

A slow grin crossed the Marauder heir's face that had her friends now exchanging concerned looks.

"Is there a reason you three just drenched Heidi?"

Heidi's grin grew as Seamus, Ginny and Luna turned to find Sirius standing behind them, mirroring Heidi's grin.

"We, um, were trying to cheer her up!"

"Well she was pouting and we wanted to help!"

"She was sulking and we were trying to make her smile!"

Heidi blinked as the three spoke at once. From the look on Sirius's face, he had no idea what they said either.

Sirius looked at Heidi. "How about you and I walk down together and you can explain why they felt the need to bathe you in rain water?"

Heidi nodded. "Good idea." she turned to her friends. "Thanks but I do need to talk with Padfoot."

The three nodded and headed down the the pitch with Sirius and Heidi a good ways behind.

"I found out about Snape's assignment while he was covering for Remus." Heidi said. "He wants two rolls of parchment on how to identify and kill a werewolf."

Sirius clenched a fist. "Harry told me. I'm guessing you had a word or two for Severus."

Heidi shifted her wet robes a bit. "You could say that. I just," she sighed. "I got so mad when I heard about what he did that I went to his classroom and kind of," she bit her lip.

"Lost your temper?" Sirius guessed.

Heidi nodded. "Yeah, which under any other circumstances would be really stupid cause really, who yells at a teacher? But he told me to be honest with him no matter what and, well I was."

Sirius hugged Heidi around the shoulders. "Ladybug, I'll be honest with you. Severus screwed up and I think while he knew that already, he needed to be told and I can't think of a better person then you."

Heidi looked up at him. "Really?"

Sirius nodded. "You've got a brutal honesty to you that you got straight from your mother and that is exactly what pushed you to confront Severus. And that's why he needed to hear it from you." he squeezed her a bit. "Now come on, cheer up or I'll let your friends splash you again."

Heidi laughed. "Oh thanks Padfoot!"

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

By the time the match started it was down pouring again and seeing the field from the stands was almost impossible. Heidi was squinting while wiping at her eyes, trying to keep sight of Harry but he seemed to be catching site of the Snitch over and over again, moving all over the field faster then Sirius confronted with a feather duster and it was getting on Heidi's nerves.

Giving the loud pounding of the rain, Seamus had given up on trying to talk to Heidi and was holding her hand instead, squeezing it every time she flinched or lightning struck.

After Dean pointed out Harry and the Hufflepuff Seeker, Cedric Diggory, zooming off after Snitch, Heidi bit her lip and waited for the two to come back into view. Before they could, Heidi felt a sickening familiar sensation flood her as dozens of cloaked figures started floating around the Quidditch pitch. Feeling her head get weak and her knees give, Heidi held tightly to Seamus as the world black and the faint screaming filled her mind again.

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

"Come on Bug, you can't keep doing this to us. Open your eyes."

Heidi groaned and swatted at the hand that pressed against her forehead.

"Keep that up Miss Potter and you'll be staying here over night."

Heidi cracked an eye open and saw Tonks and Pomfrey standing over her. "Sorry Madam Pomfrey." she took the chocolate Tonks handed her. "I'm guessing the dementors came inside the grounds."

Tonks nodded and took a seat on the side of Heidi's bed while Pomfrey moved over to shoo the Gryffindor Quidditch team out, leaving Ron and Hermione around Harry's bed.

"They did and Dumbledore got furious." Tonks said. "But the Minister still refuses to remove them."

Heidi bit into her chocolate. "Of course he does."

Tonks brushed Heidi's hair back. "Pomfrey gave me the okay to move you to our quarters so I can go back on patrol. Remus is gonna watch you until you're feeling normal again."

Heidi nodded and struggled to sit up. "God, I really hate those dementors."

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

Remus listened to Heidi explain Snape's assignment for the third years. "Well we knew he wasn't going to take this quietly. He was furious when Sirius got his job but had nothing to hold over him. Sadly the same cannot be said for me."

Heidi leaned back against the couch. "I know but why can't he get over it? I know you and Dad and Padfoot weren't nice to him but it was years ago."

"Some things are hard to let go of, Ladybug." Remus said. "I can understand why it's hard for Severus." he noticed Heidi rubbing her arms. "What's wrong?"

Heidi shrugged a bit. "I can't seem to get warm. Happened the last time, on the train."

Remus pointed his wand at the fire place to start a fire and wrapped a blanket around Heidi. "It's one of the after effect of the dementors. It should fade soon."

Heidi held the blanket close. "I hate this. Why can't we have just one normal year?"

Remus smiled a bit sadly. "I'm afraid because you and Harry aren't exactly normal yourselves, Bug. But don't worry, you're not alone."

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

Harry rolled over and saw Sirius sitting beside his bed. "Padfoot?"

Sirius smiled. "Hey pup, I just wanted to check on you. Make sure you were recovering alright."

Harry sat up some. "I'm alright." he stared off before looking at Sirius. "I'm sorry for fighting you on going to Hogsmeade."

"Don't worry Harry, I understand." Sirius said. "I want to make this year as normal as possible for you but there's only so many things I can do."

"I know, Padfoot." Harry said. He smiled. "Just promise once they're caught you'll lay off some."

Sirius laughed. "Deal."

Kay, any time my writing wants to stop being so annoying, I'd be grateful. Sorry for the roughness of this kids. Heidi's not working with me and now Harry wants to be difficult too. Damn Potter kids. For now, let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading.
