The Fatal Enchantment

Sneaky Barty's Class

        I was walking through the corridors in my , when McGonagall stopped me and told me that Dumbledore wanted to meet me. Wonder why? I went up to his office, as I went to the gargoyle.
"Liqorice wands."I said as the gargoyle leaped to life on hearing the password. I stepped up on one of the steps, and stood there firmly, as the stairs rotated up, going up in circles as it reached the stop, to the door of Dumbledore's office. I let out a deep breath, and knocked at the door, by the help of the knocker on the door.
"Come in."said Dumbledore's voice. I entered the office, as I smiled on seeing Fawkes the phoenix, as I saw Dumbledore beside it.
"Good morning, professor. How may I be of help?"I said. He simply smiled at me, looking calm and serene as ever.
"It's something to do with your father."he said. Dad? But he died when Harry and I were a year of age."I know, I know what you are thinking Miss Potter, but, it is something which your father gave to me, just like the cloak of Invisibility, which I gave to your brother. You see that cloak was passed to the sons of the family, through generations, but there is something which is passed solely to the Potter family daughters...........the ring of the Potter family, the Potter infinity ring, which he had told me to give it to you when you are fourteen, since you are that now. It is my duty to give it to you."he said as he gave me a silver ring, which had an amethyst stone, and infinity carving, holding the stone in place. "Always wear it."he said as he dismissed me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later in D.A.D.A. class~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was getting the class ready. I knew Barty would be teaching us about curses, we had discussed that, and if I am right, it will be the unfirgivable curses, his forte. I put a spider inside a bell jar, on his desk, cleaning the board, and desk, as I saw the Slytherins and my friends file into the class.
"Lex, what are you doing?"asked Hermione.
"Getting the class ready." I replied as I saw Barty enter the class, as Moody. He gave me a curt nod, which I returned due to the sake of politeness. He's my boss after all.
"Thank you Miss Potter."he said, "And stand here for assitance."he said.
"My pleasure."I replied with sarcasm.
"Alastor Moody."began Barty as he wrote on the board."Ex-Auror. Ministry of Malcontent, and your new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher.I came here because, Dumbledore asked me to, and will be teaching with my assistant Miss Potter.End of story, good bye, the end. Any questions?"he said as he looked at the class, as the students stared back. I raised my hand. He turned to me and frowned."Yes, Miss Potter?"
"When in the name of Merlin, will you start to teach?"I asked."Professor.."I drawled. He grunted as he ignored me, leaving me to smirk off. I don't care even if he watches me with his magical eye.
"When it comes to Dark Arts, I believe in a practical approach."he said. Of course you do, you sneaky slimeball of a clown."But first, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?"he asked and behold Hermione Jean Know-it-All Granger comes to the rescue.
"Three sir."she answered. I smiled, of course, she has to answer.
"And they are so named?"he asked.
"Because they are unforgivable. Use of any one............."she began when thankfully, or not, Barty cut her off.
"Will earn you a one-way ticket to Askaban. Correct."he said as he finished writing on the board and looked at the class."Now the Ministry says, you are too young to see the curses. I say different."Wow."You need to know what you are up against! You need to be prepared!"he said as he eyed Seamus Finnigan trying to stick his gum under the desk, as a mouthed a warning at him."You need to find another place beside the underside of your desk, Mr. Finnigan."Shit! The pyrokinetic boy is an idiot not to understand my warning. I gave him a now keep your mouth shut eyes. But again, he didn't get it.
"No way! The old codger can see of the back of his head!"said Seamus. I face palmed myself. See what I mean!
"I'm here to call the class rules!"he said as he threw a piece of chalk at Seamus, who duck just on time.
"Professor, do carry on with the class, time's running out."I said as he grunted. Wow."So which curse will we have first."he said as he eyed Ron who was not paying attention."MR. WEASLEY"he boomed as suppressed a smile.
"Yes........."said Ron as he whimpered. I giggled internally.
"Stand!"he boomed.
"Give us a curse."I said politely.I smiled at him, and saw him glare at Ron, as Ron smiled slightly.Ron then looked at Barty and whimpered again.
"My....da...dad did tell me about one."he said. I gave him a look asking him to go on.
"Huh?"said Barty.
"The Imperius Curse."said Ron as he stood whimpering.
"Oh yeah, your father would know all about that. Gave the Ministry quite a grief a few years ago. Perhaps this will show you why........"he said as he went to the bell jar containing the spider, as Ron winced as he sat down in his seat."Hello. My lovely little beauty."he cooed making me smile. Of course, he loves to play with his food.I saw him then point the tip of his wand at the spider. Bloody in the name of Merlin! He's gonna demonstrate it to the class, in front of the Slytherins, where half the student population come from the family of death eaters. But then again, Barty is one too. Of course, he'd encourage it."Engorgio"he chanted as the spider enlarged to a tarantula. "Imperio"he said as the spider was now in his control, as he cast a non verbal hovering charm on it, as it wiggled flying in the air landing on Crabbe, as the class laughed their heads off. It then hovered again as Crabbe shouted off, and landed on the oh so giggly Pavarti Patil, who winced with disgust trying to get it off herself.
"Don't worry, she's completely harmless."he said, as Pavarti calmed slightly, as Barty hovered it again, and this time it landed on Ron's head. And Ron began to make funny faces, almost about to cry out like a baby in fright. He's arachnophobic."But if she bites.........she's lethal."he said with delight and malice in his eyes. I saw Draco laughing off like hell. I wanted my sweet little revenge on him for so my years, as I saw Barty note my direction of sight, catching Draco laughing his arse off."What are you laughing at?"he snapped at him, as he hovered the spider again and landed it on him, as Draco shivered and panicked. Harry was laughing away as he clapped his hands to see Draco panicking off. Barty laughed too.
"Talented, isn't she?"he said."What shall I have her do next?Jump out of the window?"he said as he lifted it up Draco's head and landed it on the window, which I had fortunately shut down.Seeing it closed his eyes fell on a pewter of water. He hovered the spider on top of it."Drown herself?"he said as the spider wiggled trying to fight the spell, preventing itself from drowning, as Barty hovered it back to his palm.
"Scores of witches and wizards have claimed to do You-Know-Who's bidding, under the influence of the Imperius Curse."he said. "But here's the rub. Do you catch what I am speaking about Miss Potter?"
"How the hell should be sort out the liars."I replied.
"Indeed, how do we sort out the liars."he said as he scanned the class, his eyes ending on Neville Longbottom, the grandson of Auguta Longbottom and son of two very skilled aurors, who were now in St. Mungos's for Maladies, Frank and Alice Longbottom.
"Aha....come on Mr. Longbottom."he said as Neville looked up."Up."he said as Neville stood up shyly."Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for Herbology." Please Neville get to the point.
"There's the Cru..Cruciatus...curse."said Neville shyly. I smiled at him. He's intelligent, but shy. Barty brought Neville up to his desk, as he kept the spider on it. He pointed the wand to the spider, as I saw Neville have the haunting depressed look in his eyes. All thanks to the Lestranges and this hobbit in front of me. And my bad luck, that I feel for this hobbit."Crucio"he said as the spider began wiggling as if shrieking in pain.It went on squealing painfully, as I saw Neville with his eyes closed, shivering. I had enough of his vile. I opened my mouth to say something when Hermione did it.
"Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him! Stop it!"she shrieked out which fortunately caught Barty's attention. He kept the spider on her desk, right under her nose, as I went up to Neville.
"Neville."I said as I put a hand on his shoulder."Show's over."I said as he opened his eyes. I nodded towards his seat, and taking the cue, he went back and got seated.
"Perhaps you could give us the last unforgivable curse, Miss Granger."he said. Avada Kedavra, the Killing Curse, as I gulped, thinking about our parent's death. Hermione shook her head, fighting the tears in her eyes, which threatened to spill out any moment."No. Shame. Avada Kedavra."he muttered as a bright green light flashed, killing the spider."The Killing Curse.Only one person is known to survive it. And he's sitting in this room."he said eyeing at my twin brother, as Harry looked up at him.He went on staring till he felt himself changing. Taking out his hipflask, he took a sip of his potion shuddering away.

After everyone left, I turned to the slimy hobbit facing him, as he stared outside. I had no fucking wish to talk to him, but inside I was livid. I had seen what he was doing....and I knew, if he went on like this, he sure would get himself caught red handed. I know so, because I would be caught if I were in his position, and was doing these things. I know Alastor Moody is frightening. I had met him, the real Moody I mean, but this scary, I think not. This man clearly needed lessons from me. And I feel the faster he completes this idiotic mission he's so on, the faster he'll go, and the faster my emotions will be back in control, so it will ultimately prove the better for me. But to complete that mission, this slimy dirty ball needs lessons. And for that if I need to dive into the snake's pit to make him do his work, and fuck the hell off from Hogwarts for good. Then so be it. "Was all that truly necessary?"I asked as I saw him turn towards me.

Barty's P.O.V.:-

I was staring outside seeing the scenery outside the window, as I felt a pair of eyed burning into my back. I knew it was the Potter girl. She must be seething by now. I smirked internally. It is good she knew who was not good for her. After I leave her broken, she will surely know that it is wrong to play with fire. But from what I knew by now, she is way powerful, and from I heard from Snape, she was nearly put into Slytherin as well as Ravenclaw, meaning she was cunning yet wise, sly as well as intelligent, sneaky and witty. She was mixed with these along with bravery, courage, chivalry, urge to sacrifice herself, along with fire in her.
"Was all that truly necessary?"she asked me as I turned to face her scowled look. I saw her pack her belongings, but I wanted to spend some time with her too. With my forbidden fruit. And forbidden fruits are always the tastiest, and the sweetest fruits you can lay your hands on. "You clearly need lessons."she said as she turned to me putting her satchel on her shoulder, ready to leave. She began to walk out when I grabbed her wrist to stop her, but I think she didn't like it. Suddenly, I felt a jolt of strong electric current run through me, as I fell out of the shock of the current.
"You shouldn't play with fire, or do you not know that Miss Potter."I growled at her.
"Fire is still bearable, but you should be playing with electric currents, those are lethal."she said as she smirked back."Have a good day,"she said."Professor."she drawled smirking away, as she went.
