Lilah sat in defence against the dark arts class. She knew how things were and how the school seemed overcrowded. She looked as moody stood up the front and frowned. She knew how he gave her the creeps and something didn't add up. She knew that she couldn't shift the feeling

"Ex-Auror. . . . . .Ministry malcontent. . . . . .and your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. l am here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story, goodbye, the end. Any questions? When it comes to the Dark Arts. . . . . .l believe in a practical approach. But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are? -Three, sir. -And they are so named? Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will-- Will earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban, correct. The Ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do. l 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! " he said as Lola turned to look at him and rolled her eyes

"No way. The old codger can see out the back of his head. "

"And hear across classrooms! So which curse shall we see first?-Weasley! -"

"Yes? " Ron said scared

"Stand. Give us a curse. "

"Well, my dad did tell me about one. The lmperius Curse. " Ron said

"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 said as he picked up a spider from the jar

"Hello. Lovely little beauty. Engorgio. Imperio! Don't worry. lt's completely harmless. lf she bites. . . . . .she's lethal. "What are you laughing at? Get off! Talented, isn't she? What should l have her do next? Jump out the window? Drown herself? Scores of witches and wizards have claimed. . . . . .that they only did You-Know-Who's bidding. . . . . .under the influence of the lmperius Curse. But here's the rub: How do we sort out the liars? Another, another. Up, up. Come on. Longbottom, is it? Up. Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for herbology. "

"There's the. . . . The Cruciatus Curse. " Neville said as lilah frowned. She knew how Sirius had told her over what bellatrix had done to Neville's parents

"Correct, correct. Come, come. Particularly nasty. The torture curse. Crucio! "

"Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him? Stop it! " Hermione yelled

"Perhaps you could give us the last Unforgivable Curse, Miss Granger. No? Avada Kedavra! The Killing Curse. Only one person is known to have survived it. . . . . .and he's sitting in this room." Moody said as they looked to Harry

✨✨✨

Lilah walked out of class as she followed the golden trio

"Brilliant, isn't he? Completely demented, of course, and terrifying to be in the same room with. . . . . .but he's really been there, you know? He's looked evil in the eye. " Ron said

"There's a reason those curses are unforgivable. To perform them in a classroom. . . . l mean, did you see Neville's face? " Hermione said as they saw Neville standing on the stairway as moody caught up to them

"Neville? Son? You all right? Come on. We'll have a cup of tea. l want to show you something" he said as Neville walked off with him

"Do you think he is okay" lilah asked as she and Harry held a look

✨✨✨

Lilah walked into Lia classroom as Lia looked to her and smiled

"What's up are you okay?" Lia asked as she looked to her daughter

"I just had moody class. He was talking over unforgivable curses he creeped me out" she said as lilah looked to her daughter and smiled

"Hey it's okay come here" she said as she pulled her daughter into a hug and smiled. Lia knew what moody was like and she knew just how she'd do anything for her daughter and to keep her safe

"What's going on with you and dad. He said that there was some tension between the two of you are you okay" lilah asked as Lia looked to her and smiled

She knew how their had been some tension between her and Sirius but she knew that they were trying to make it work for lilah

✨✨✨
Lilah followed the Weasley twins into the great hall as they had completing the aging potion

"Well, lads, we've done it." George said

"Cooked it up just this morning. " Fred said

"lt's not going to work." Hermione said as she sat in the corner reading

"Oh, yeah? -And why is that, Granger? " fred asked as the twins walked over to where she was sitting

"You see this? This is an Age Line. Dumbledore drew it himself. "

"So? " George said

"So a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled. . . . . .by a dodge as pathetically dimwitted as an Aging Potion. -" Hermione said

"But that's why it's so brilliant. -" George said

"Because it's so pathetically dimwitted. -" Fred said

"Ready, Fred? "

"Ready, George. -"

"Bottoms up. -""

"Bottoms up. -"

Lilah looked we they aged and had las they jumped over the line

"Yes! -Yes! Yeah! "

"Yes! Ready? -" George said

"Yes! "

"Yes! -"

Lilah watched as they had been thrown backwards and aged to be old men and tried to hold back a laugh

"You said! -"

"You said! -" George said as they started to fight

"Oh, right, you want a piece of me?! -"

"l'll tear your ears off! "

"Now you're making me laugh." Fred said

"Take this! Come on! "

"Fight! Fight! Fight! " the crowd encouraged as lilah egged them in

"We're ''old school,'' right?" George

"Yeah, but you look older!" Fred said as they looked to see viktor Kringle as he walked in. Everyone went silence as he put his name in the goblet

✨✨✨
Lilah sat in the hospital wing next to Fred bed as they waited for the option wear off as she looked for him and smiled

"I told you it might not work" she said as he reached for her hand and smiled

"Well you were right. Don't worry it will be okay" Fred said as lilah looked to him and smiled. She held a look with him for a moment neither of them aware of just how their friendship was about to change
