The next day they were at Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Alastor Moody." He turned around and started to write his name. "Ex- auror. Ministry malcontent. And your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story goodbye the end. Any questions?"

He turned his eye around.

He got no answer and continued.

"Who here can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?"

"Three sir." Hermione said.

"And they are so named?"

"Because they're unforgivable. The user of anyone of them will-" she started.

"Earn a one way ticket to Azkaban. Correct, correct."

Then he turned around and picked up a spider.

"Hello."

He put it on his hand and took out his wand.

"Ingosio." Then it was bigger.

"Imperio!"

He had it go to someone's table.

"Uh."

"Don't worry, it's completely harmless." He had it go to Ron.

"Uh hu!" Ron muttered scared as usual.

Then Malfoy started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Then it was on his nose.

"Ah! Get it off! Get it off!" Malfoy said.

Everyone started laughing more

"It's talented isn't she? What did I ever do that? Jump out a window?"

Then it hit a closed window. Everyone stopped laughing.

"Lone yourself?"

When it finished that he put it in his hand.

"Scores of witches and wizards are only excluded in the a found. Who else knows one?"

Seamus started to raise his hand.

"Ah, come on. Seamus Finnegan is it? Professor Sprout tells me you enjoy herbology? What spell do you have us?"

"There's the ah, the Cruciatus curse." Neville said.

"Correct! Come come! The torcher curse. Crucio!"

Then it started screaming.

Seamus winced a bit and fought it.

"Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him stop it!" Hermione said.

He turned around and looked at her.

"Ahum. Perhaps you'd like to tell us the last spell Ms. Granger?"

She shook her head.

"No? Avada Kadevera!"

Harry and Neville stared at it.

They may have survived but will still zone out for a few seconds when they see green lights.

"The killing curse. Only one person is known to have survived it. And he's sitting in this room."

He looked at Neville as did everyone else. He looked around and then at Moody. He started to look different and took a sip of his drink.

Harry survived to but Neville was the one that was hit by it protecting him. They're only a day apart and he's not as strong as Harry but Neville was still older than him and try to protect each other.

When they were done with class they headed to their next class.

"Brilliant isn't he? Completely mental of course. But still it's worth seeing for everyone to see!" Ron said.

"There's a reason these curses are unforgivable? Preformed in a classroom. I mean did you see Seamus' face? And you two can still zone out for a few seconds." Hermione said and Neville taped her arm.

Seamus was leaning against a wall.

"Seamus?" Hermione said.

Suddenly Mad-eye came and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Son? Are you alright?" He nodded. "Come on, I want to show you something."

So he headed upstairs.
