HARRY's POV

"Hey boys!" Y/n greeted as we joined them for breakfast. This time, I sat beside Y/n, after what happened last night at dinner, I understood that she was not uncomfortable with me. I buttered a toast and passed it to her. 

"We have DADA first! I want to see how Moody teaches us." Hermione said examining her time table. 

We were all having a nice chit chat before class when something happened to ruin my mood.

"Hey Y/n!" said Cedric,

"Hey..." Y/n greeted her. That burning feeling erupting inside of me again. Why is it happening even when Y/n said that she does not like him?

"Could I, perhaps, talk to you for a second?" he said hesitantly,

"Err- yeah, what happened?" 

"No, not here... err- in private...." my fists clenched as he said that. Y/n's so much younger than him! How can he even say that?

"Cedric, I would have done that but I have my class and its DADA, don't want to be late for Moody's class. He looks quite dangerous." she joked and he laughed. 

"Yeah! He as an unusual way of teaching." he sat down beside her

"Really? Like how? I mean --"

"Y/n lets go." I interrupted her, "Its time for class."

"Oh.. Yeah, lets go." I held her hand and dragged her out.

Y/N's POV

It was a bit weird how Harry dragged me, I don't complain, but still weird. We entered the classroom and I sat beside him, Ron and Hermione in front us. 

I took out my book and quill as Professor Moody entered the classroom. He limped towards the board and wrote his name: ALASTOR MOODY

"Alastor Moody" he said turning to face us, "ex- auror and your new defense against the dark arts teacher. I am here because Dumbledore asked me to. End of Story. The end.  GOODBYE! Any questions?" 

The class fell silent as his magical eye revolved. No one dared to utter a word.

"When it comes to dark arts I believe in a practical approach. Now, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?" 

Hermione's hand shot up and she said, "Three, sir!"

"And they are so named?" he asked writing on the board. Such a silly question! The answer lies in the name!

"Because they're unforgivable." I joked and chuckled a bit but stopped when Moody looked at me. 

"Yes... and the use of anyone of those will earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban." I thought I was going to be scolded but he was quite cool with it. 

"So, which curse shall we see first. . .Weasley!" 

Ron jerked up as Moody called him.

"Yes?" he asked, slowly standing up.

"Give us a curse!"

"Well, my dad did tell me about one... the Imperious Curse."

"Aaah, yes! 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 limped towards his desk and took out a spider from a container.
"Engorgio!" The spider doubled in size. I looked at Ron's face which was now turning purple from fear.

"Imperio!"

The spider jumped from Moody's hand and landed on Goyle's face. The class roared with laughter.
