Torchwick or Grindelwald

Chapter 3: Getting Chosen

(A/N): Wade-10, Harry-4. The Yule Ball Date vote is still going on.

DADA Class No POV

Moody: Alastor Moody.<writes his name on the board> Ex-Auror... Ministry malcontent... and your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I am here because Dumbledore asked 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 Cursed there are?

Wade: 3, sir.

Moody; and they are so named?

Hermione: because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will-

Moody: will warn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban, correct. 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!

Seamus: no way. The old codger can see out the back of his head.

Moody:<throws his chalk at him> and hear across classrooms! So which curse shall we see first? Weasley!

Ron: yes?

Moody: stand.

Ron:<stands up>

Moody; give us a curse.

Ron: well... my dad did tell me about one.

Moody: hm?

Ron: the Imperius Curse.

Moody; 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.

Moody walked to a jar as Ron sat down. Moody opened the jar and took out some kind of Spider like creature.

Moody; hello.<gets the creature in his palm> lovely little beauty.<takes his wand out> Engorgio. <makes the creature bigger> Imperio!

Moody was using his wand to control the creature's every move as the students started laughing. The only ones not laughing were Wade, Merula, Ismelda, and Hermione.

Moody; don't worry. It's completely harmless.

Moody was moving it around from student to student starting with Dean, putting it on Crabbe's head, make it go up one of the Patil Twins's arm, hovering it over Ron's head.

Moody; if she bites... she's lethal. What are you laughing at?

Moody sends it straight for Draco's nose.

Moody; talented, isn't she? What should I have do next? Jump out the window? <the students stopped laughing> drown herself?

Moody hovered the creature on top of a bucket before bringing it back to his palm.

Moody: scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did You-Know-Who's bidding under the influence of the Imperius Curse. But here's the rub: how do we sort out the liars? Another, another, up, up. Come on.

Students raised their hands but once Neville raised his hand, Moody called him.

Moody: Longbottom, is it? Up.

Neville:<stands up>

Moody: Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for herbology.

Neville: th-there's the, um... the Cruciatus Curse.

Moody: correct, correct. Come, come. Particularly nasty. The torture curse. Crucio!

The creature started squealing in pain as it brought Neville horrible memories as he wasn't the only one who was feeling the dread of the curse as everyone else did. Merula looked at Wade and he remained emotionless before he stood up. Moody continued the curse but stopped when Wade grabbed his arm.
