Just a week after Elira sent her letter to Remus, a reply already came. The man expressed his overwhelming gratitude to Elira, and as she assumed, he tried to convince her that she wasn't required to brew a potion for him every month. However, she thought that it was the least she could do for him. Remus didn't deserve to suffer every month just because a childish professor refuses to put their past behind and brew him a potion.
Remus also tried to search for the meaning behind her dream and more information about Athena. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything else that would be of help. The ones he found, Hermione has already read in the library.
On the other hand, their lessons have become even more demanding than before, specifically Professor Moody's class. To their surprise, the ex-Auror would be putting them under the Imperius Curse for today's lesson.
"But— but you said that's illegal, Professor," Hermione tried to protest as Moody cleared the desks with a wave of his wand. "You said to use it on another human was—"
Moody was quick to cut her off, "Dumbledore wants you to know what it feels like. If you'd rather learn it the hard way— when someone's putting it on you— fine by me. Off you go."
Hermione turned pink, muttering under her breath that she didn't mean that she wanted to leave.
Moody beckoned students forward in turns and placed the Imperius Curse on them. Elira didn't know whether to be terrified or amused as her classmates did things that she wouldn't have even imagined.
Dean hopped around the room three times, singing the national anthem. Lavender imitated a squirrel — which Elira would surely tease her for once they're back in their dorms — Neville performed a series of incredibly complex gymnastics stunts. Not one of them managed to fight the curse or was even close to doing so.
"Potter," Moody called, "You next."
Elira watched attentively. Moody might make him do something embarrassing and she wants to be sure that she was there through it all. It would give her the utmost pleasure to tease the wits out of Harry.
But after Moody muttered the word "Imperio", Harry stood still for a moment before a sudden jerk caused him to smack his head into the desk, knocking it over.
"Look at that, you lot... Potter fought! He fought it, and he damn near beat it!"
Elira tried her best to hold herself back from laughing at Harry's groaning figure. Catching her joyful expression, the latter shook his head at her and glared at her playfully. Elira stuck out her tongue and mouthed "loser" before Professor Moody called her up to the front.
