Defense against the dark arts class)

"Alastor Moody, Ex Auror and your new Defense against against the dark arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me end of story goodbye the end! any questions?" Introduced a gruff voice wearing a overcoat, while having blonde hair and a magical eye over his left eye this was Mad Eye Moody.

Harry was sitting with Ron who is currently watching his new teacher for some reason there was something off about this new teacher as Harry continued to watch the man and looked interested at what he and the others were going to be taught in the defense against the dark arts.

"When it comes to the dark arts.. i believe a practical approach but first which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses are there?" Moody asked staring at every student in the room.

"Three sir" Answered Hermione

"And they are so named?" He asked rushing over to the board with a calk in his hand writing it down.

"Because they are so unforgivable, the use of any of them will-" Hermione replied back but moody intervened.

"Will earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban! correct! now the ministry says you all are too young to see these curses but i say different!" He said scribbling on the board with his calk.

"You need to find out what your up against! and to be prepared!" He ranted going back to the board as Seamus was putting his piece of gum underside his desk as Moody called out to him with many in the classroom looking to the back at Seamus who looked shocked at being caught.

"The old codger can see in the back of his head" Whispered Seamus as he was hit by a piece of paper by Moody

"I hear across classrooms!" Moody shouted

"So which curse shall we see first? Weasley!" He said coming up to Ron and Harry's desk

"Yes?" Ron asked

"Stand!" Commanded Moody as Ron flinched standing up

"Give us a curse?" Moody asked staring at ron who looked uncomfortable.

"We-Well my dad did tell me one of them, the imperius curse" Ron answered as moody nodded.

"Of course your father would know all about that, it gave the ministry grief a few years ago perhaps this will show you why" Moody replied in his usual gruff voice turning away heading over to the table going through a jar grabbing a spider like crab, Hermione could only glare at the man.

Harry on the other hand was rather interested on how would this go.

"Engorgio" He pointed his wand at the creature making it big

"Imperio!" He casted from his wand as he casted her towards Neville's and Dean Thomas desk then casted the spider to Crabbe's head as Moody laughed he shifted her to the twins then floated it above Ron's head who was squirming which made Moody laugh more as he heard Malfoy's laugh

"What are you laughing at!?" He said shifting the crab like spider on Malfoy's face who screamed 'get it off' which made everyone in the classroom laugh

"Talented is she? what should i have her do next? toss her out the window?" Moody asks directing her towards the window

"Have her drown herself?" He asked now directing her to a bucket full of water with the class watching as he brought it back in his hands turning towards the class

"Scores of witches and wizards claimed they have only did the bidding of he who must not be named under the influence of the imperius curse!" He explained shifting his magical eye towards everyone
