So I changed the name to of the first chapter to Book 1: Chapter 1 and am just doing chapters now, expect for the first chapter of each I'll let you know when I've started a new "book". It just got too much to type every time. Now on to the part!

Haley's POV

I had to meet with McGonagall before my first lesson so I was one of the last ones to enter the room and the only seat left with next to Draco. Had he done that on purpose? I took my seat and heard whispers from around the room. I pretended not to hear them, pulled my books out of my bag and sat there beside Draco with my head high. Screw their judgement. 

"Who do you thinks gonna be our professor this year?" Seamus asked, he was another member of my house and was seated next to Neville. I liked Neville, he seemed like a sweet kid. 

Ron shrugged. "Don't know, as long as its not another Lockhart." Just then the door slammed and a man with a fake eye, bad leg and balding blonde hair wobbled up to the front of the room. "It's Mad Eyed Moody." Ron whispered. 

"The Auror?" Hermione asked him, who was seating behind and to the side of him and Harry. 

I faced front, staring at the man and whispered as softly as I could to Draco. "What's an Auror?"

"Dark Wizard Catcher." He replied. Then Moody spoke.

"Alsator Moody and I'm your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I'm only here because Dumbledore asked me." He picked up the chalk and turned toward the board. "How many Unforgivable curses are they?" 

Without hesitation, Hermione answered. "3, sir."

"Why are they named this?" 

"Because they unforgivable, using them would land you in jail." 

He turned to face us then, "Correct. 10 points for Gryffindor. Now the Ministry says you are too young to know what they do, I say different!"He performed one curse that made a spider do whatever he wanted.  He asked for one student to give him a curse and Neville raised his hand. 

"There's the Curciatus curse." He said.

"Yes! Come here." Moody said and Neville got up and stepped upfront. Moody took the spider and said the curse. I watched as Neville slowly started to twitch and it made me so uncomfortable and grabbed the sides of my chair to stop myself from getting up and punching Moody in the face. Hermione looked over then shouted at Moody to stop, which he did. He picked up the spider and walked over to her. Placing the spider on her book he asked, "Can you give me the last curse, Miss Granger?" She stared start ahead and shook her head no. Moody raise his wand and said, "Avada Kedavra," killing the poor spider. 

I jumped when the curse happened. I'd remembered, in that moment, when the Dark Lord attacked my family, killed my mother in front Harry and me and tried to kill us as if it was a movie I was watching. "The Killing Curse." The professor said and walked back in front of the class, then down my aisle of desks. "There are only two people known to have survived that curse," and as he stepped in front me and stared he said "And they are seating in this room." He stood there for a second, looked over to my brother and walked back to the board. 

I looked to my brother for comfort because I was physically shaking at what just happened, but his attention was on the dead spider stilling laying in front of our friend. Draco moved in his chair and whispered to me. "Are you okay?" I didn't answer, but relaxed slightly when I felt his fingers laced through mine under the table, so no one could see. After class, Hermione walked me to the Great Hall to help me learn some Charms and watch people put their names in the Goblet to be picked. Cedric put his name in after being pushed by friends in the Age Line. Fred and George tried to beat the age line but it back fired and temporarily turned them old. During the commotion of them yelling and fighting each other, Viktor Krum entered the hall and put in his name, only to look right at Hermione.
