Heidi, unlike her girlfriend who she hadn't seen all day, took things in stride. In the morning, she noticed the stares and the whispering and began to suspect. It wasn't until configuration, where she received the news that her and Tracey's relationship had been outed by a timid Hannah Abbott that she connected everything.
Sure, there had been a few snide comments, but mostly from Slytherin, a few from Ravenclaw, But Heidi couldn't have cared less. There were more congratulations, her team even congratulated her, with Zacharias of course teasing. What she was worried about was Tracey's reaction. She hadn't seen her girlfriend yet and was extremely concerned about how she was taking things.
Cutting practice short, Heidi quickly changed into clean sweatpants and a t-shirt before tying her hair back and setting out to look for Tracey. But, she couldn't find her anywhere. Deciding to head to her dorm to clean up before heading to dinner and hopefully seeing Tracey there. Passing the dark corner in deep thought, she didn't see Tracey at first.
