(Ophelia's POV)
"Alastor Moody, ex-auror, Ministry malcontent, and your new defense against the dark arts teacher" Moody starts
"I am here because Dumbledore asks me. End of story, goodbye, the end. Any questions?"
"When it comes to the dark arts, I believe in a practical approach. But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?" he asks
"Three" I say
"And they are so named?" Moody asks as he starts to write on the board
"Because they are unforgivable! The use of any one of them will—" Granger blurts
"Will earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban, correct" Moody cuts her off
"Now the Ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do. I say different!"
"You need to know what you're up against! You need to be prepared! You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk Mr.Finnigan!" He shouts as he's facing the board
"No way. The old codger can see out of the back of his head" Finnigan complains
Moody throws his piece of chalk at him
"And hear across classrooms!" Moody shouts
"And I thought Trelawney was a nutter" Draco mumbles
"So, which curse shall we see first?" he asks
"Weasley!"
"Yes" Weasley quickly answers
"Stand. Give us a curse"
"Well...my dad did tell me about one, the Imperius Curse" Weasley mumbles
"Oh yeah, your father would know all about that. Gave the Ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago"
"Perhaps this will show you why" he says as we walks to his desk and pulls a spider out of a glass jar
"Engorgio" he mutters and the spider became 3 times bigger
"Imperio!" Suddenly the spider acted on his command
Flying on peoples heads and hands. Draco was laughing the hardest
"What are you laughing at?" Moody asks Draco
Suddenly he fling s the spider on Dracos face
"Get it off! Get it off!" He whimpers. I was laughing to hard to even help
"You think this is funny?" Moody laughs as he places the spider on my hand
I had no reaction, I raise my eyebrows at him
"Ok then...what should I make her do?" Moody clears his throat
"Jump out the window! Drown herself?" He mutters as he brings her back onto his hand
"Scores of witches and wizards claim that they only did You-Know-Who's bidding under the influence of the Imperius Curse"
"But here the rub: How do we sort out the liars" Moody says looking at Draco and I
"Another" he mumbles
Longbottoms hand slowly goes up
"Longbottom is it?" Moody asks
"Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for Herbology"
"There's the um...the Cruciatus Curse" Longbottom stutters
"Correct! Come!" Moody excitedly says, directing Longbottom to his desk and places the spider down
"The torture curse" Moody says
"Crucio!" suddenly the spider squirms and shrieks in pain
"Stop it! Cant you see it's bothering him! Stop it!" Granger shouts, I know she wasn't talking about the spider
Immediately he stops, looking at Longbottom
"Um...would you like to tell me the last curse Ms.Granger?" Moody asks
She shakes her head no, tears forming in her eyes as Moody places the spider on her book
"You are so annoying Granger" I mumble annoyedly as I stand up from my desk and walk towards the spider and take Moody's wand from his hand
"Avada Kedavra" I mumble, I green light shoots out of the wand and hits the spider as it lies on his back, no longer moving
The classroom stays silent, I throw the wand up in the air and catch it and hand it back to Moody, the whole class stares at me and I walk back to my desk.
Draco gives me a little fist bump as I sit down
"What?" I ask as all eyes are on me
"It's just a bloody spider!"
"Oh no, I killed a spider! SEND ME TO AZKABAN!" I angrily say
"Well class, there you have it, the killing curse" Moody clears his throat as he walks away from Grangers desk
No detention? No 'see me after class'? This guy really is mad
"There's only one person to survive it, and he's sitting in this room right now" he says walking closer to Potters desk, taking another swig of liquid from his flask
"Drinking on the job?" Blaise whispers
"Class dismissed" Moody says
The class slowly gets up, scared that if we get up too quickly he just might hex us
"What the hell was that!" Pansy asks once all four of us are out of earshot from people
"What was what?" I asks
"Oh I dunno. Maybe the fact that you just performed the killing curse in front of the whole class" Blaise says
"What he was teaching unforgivable curses and Granger was being annoying!" I explain
"No I'm with Phelia on this one, she's right. If he doesn't want us to use the curses, even for an example, why teach them"
"You know Pans he's got a point" Blaise chuckles
"All of you are exhausting" Pansy laughs
