Lacy here. Alright, second to last chapter of Heidi for book three. As I'm sure you all have guessed by now, the traveling back in time won't be happening in my version. I tried to work it in but with how I wrote everything out, it just didn't fit in. I really am sorry for that, it's one of my favorite parts of the book and movie. So for the second to last chapter we've got some small problems with Remus. Those problems being lack of his final dose of wolfsbane and the big white ball that shows up once a month in the night sky. And on top of that, the wolf is used to Heidi's scent around him during the moon so guess who he's heading right for? *nods* Have fun.
Disclaimer: I own Heidi.

"Uncle Moony!"
Heidi shot off the ground and tried to run to Remus but Hermione grabbed her.
"Heidi, no!" she said. "You know he won't recognize you."
Heidi struggled. "We have to do something, Hermione. If he hurts any of us, he'll never forgive himself."
"And he shouldn't!" Ron piped up.
Heidi glared at him. "Unless you want to become were bait, Ron, shut up."
Tonks waved her wand and Bellatrix's unconscious body started floating towards the castle. "Kids, I want all of you to run and get Dumbledore and McGonagall."
"We can't leave you here alone, Aunt Dora." Harry said, torn between wanting to do as his aunt said and get everyone to safety and wanting to help get his uncle under control, if that was even possible.
"You forget, Pup," Sirius said as he slowly approached the transforming Remus. "your aunt, parents and I did this for seven years. We'll be fine. Go."
Heidi, who'd stopped fighting Hermione, couldn't take her eyes off Remus's transforming. In all the years she'd been with him during the full moons never once had she actually seen him transform and now she was glad for that because she knew this was one moment that would never leave her mind.
"Kids, go!" Sirius shouted as Remus's transformation finished. "Now!"
Hermione started pulling Heidi away as Peter woke up and saw what was going on. Heidi yanked her wand and pointed it at the rat.
"Twitch the wrong way, Wormtail, and I'll hex you into next century." she said.
Peter squeaked. "You wouldn't."
Harry smirked. "She's hexed Draco Malfoy three times since becoming a student. She would."
Peter looked around nervously and his eyes nearly popped when he saw Moony being controlled, barely, by Padfoot.
"Just let me go and you'll never have to see me again." Wormtail said.
"Not happening," Heidi said. "You're going back to Azkaban where you belong."
"Dora! You have to stun him!"
"This isn't easy for me, Sirius! Now stop transforming back! Stay as Padfoot!"
The kids turned to watch Tonks and Padfoot move around Moony, trying to keep the wolf in one place. Sadly it was just the opening Wormtail needed to transform.
"Grab him!" Hermione and Heidi shouted.
Ron and Harry both dove for Wormtail but it was too late. The rat was gone.
"Heidi look out!"

The wolf could smell her scent but the dog and the woman wouldn't let him near her. He needed to protect his cub. She was in danger. He didn't know from what but he knew.

Heidi spun around as Moony jumped over Padfoot and started charging for her. She shoved Hermione into the boys so she wouldn't be hurt and stood her ground. Not once had she ever been afraid of her uncle and she wasn't about to start now. If anything, she feared the guilt she knew Remus would feel when he found out about this.
"Stupefy!"
A jet of white light shot from the end of Tonks's wand and hit Moony when he was about three feet away from Heidi. The wolf landed with a thud just in front of her and she knelt down fast to make sure he was okay.
"Why didn't you run?" Tonks asked as she came over.
Heidi stroked Moony's fur. "I've never run from him. And I never will."

Stupid chapters keep coming up short! But everything I want to go in is writing nicely so I'll stop bitching. One chapter left kids and it should be up fairly soon. So let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading.
