Heidi found out about Hagrid losing the appeal from Hermione as she passed the note to her between classes. Unfortunately, just like her brother and their friends, she couldn't get down to see the half giant. And she didn't have a class with him so she had to come up with another plan. Waiting for Harry's class, which was led back to the castle by Hagrid, to get back so they could talk.
'SMACK'
Heidi spun around and saw Hermione being held back by Ron as she railed at Draco.
"Don't you dare call Hagrid pathetic you foul-you evil-"
"Hermione!" Ron managed to grab Hermione's hand again as she went to swing once more.
"Get off, Ron!"
Hermione pulled her wand and Heidi did as well. Ron could stop Hermione but good luck stopping Heidi. She'd hex Ron and then Draco.
Draco and his idiots moved away from Harry and his friends and right into Heidi. Before he could blink, she raised her wand and hexed him, a smile crossing her face as he fell to the ground with warts sprouting everywhere.
"Miss Potter,"
Well shoot.

"Heidi honestly,"
Heidi sighed. "I know, Uncle Moony. I know. But I've dealt with a lot from him this year and this is the first time I've snapped. I'd consider that a step forward in the right direction."
Remus had to laugh at that and give her credit. He had listened to many rants since September about the young Malfoy because Heidi knew it wasn't worth it to hex him and get a detention. She wasn't perfect so she was allowed a slip. But just one.
"So if Mad-Eye caught me," Heidi brought Remus out of his thoughts. "whom I serving detention with?"
Remus waved a hand around his classroom. "What do you think this is?"
Heidi frowned. "I got scolded and detention at the same time? Not fair!"
Remus laughed again.

"Oliver, I know you want to make sure Harry's prepared but if you do not release my godson, YOU won't be able to fly tomorrow!"
Heidi stood back with Ginny, Hermione and Seamus as Ron and Sirius tried to tug Harry away from Wood, who was insisting that Harry wasn't fully prepared for the Quidditch final the next day.
"I'm not exactly sure who we should help," Heidi observed.
"I'm not sure we should get involved." Seamus said.
"They're going to pull Harry's arms off!" Ginny waved a hand at the scene.
"We have to do something." Hermione pointed out. "Harry's not going to be able to play at this rate."
A sigh had them turning to see Tonks and Remus behind them.
"We've got it," they chorused in tired, resigned voices. They were used to this.
It took some doing but Remus and Tonks managed to get both Ron and Sirius to let go and then Wood, who then proceeded to give Sirius a list of things he thought Harry should do before bed and right when he woke up to make sure he was physically ready for the game.
By the time both Potter siblings managed to get out of the Gryffindor common room with their guardians, Sirius was muttering under his breath about Wood and special therapy to help the kid with his obsession.
Both Potters were spending the night in the Marauder's Quarters because the adults wanted them to have a peaceful night of sleep. They knew there was pressure on Harry and that other students had been pestering Heidi about her brother.
Just before they arrived at the room, Remus stopped Heidi.
"Can we talk for a minute?" he asked.
Heidi nodded. "Sure Uncle Moony."
Tonks, knowing what Remus wanted to talk to their niece about, pointed over her shoulder. "We'll see you inside."
Remus leaned back against the open arc across from the doorway to the room and crossed his arms and legs at the ankles.
"I wanted to talk to you about your brother." he said.
Heidi frowned a bit. "What about?"
"Well it's not secret he's getting a lot of attention because of the match,"
Remus said. "and I just wanted to make sure you're handling it okay. That is doesn't make you jealous."
"Honestly Uncle Moony," Heidi said. "it really doesn't. Harry's a fantastic Quidditch player and he deserves the attention. If that attention was on me, even some of it, I wouldn't like it at all. It would make me uncomfortable. I'm perfectly happy staying out of the spot light."
Remus smiled and hugged Heidi. "Exactly what I was hoping to hear." he kissed her on the head. "Come on, let's get you to bed."
~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~
The match was the roughest Heidi had ever seen. Penalties were flying left and right and Heidi was having a hard time watching the match and making sure Draco didn't do anything to Harry. Slytherin was not playing by the rules.
Finally, Heidi's eyes locked on her brother as he gained speed and got closer to Draco, who was clearly going after the Snitch. Heidi bit her lip and gripped Seamus's hand as Harry lundged forward, knocking Draco's arm away and-
"YES!"
The entire Gryffindor house, plus Heidi and Luna, broke into wild cheers as Harry pulled out of his dive and held his hand, containing the Snitch, high in the air.
Heidi hugged her friends before Seamus spun her around and hugged her tight. Heidi laughed when he lifted her off the ground.
"We won!" Heidi shouted, thrusting her hands into the air.
Seamus laughed and set her down before shocking everyone by kissing her quickly.
Heidi blinked when Seamus moved back. "We are so talking about that later."

Okay so that ending purely for Katie's pleasure and then torture! *grins* I know, I'm mean. Really mean because I haven't decided if Remus saw that yet or not. Alright kids! Let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading.
