Dumbledore's my granddad!? (A Harry Potter FanFiction)

Chapter 3

It turns out that the creepy defence against the dark arts teacher was an ex auror named Mad eye moody. This is because he is slightly mad and only has one 'real eye.' He started off talking about Dark magic. He started to show us different types even though he totally was 'not' Allowed to. He got so intense he brought out a spider and used a curse on it. The spider began to move, it flew onto Ron's head, he squealed and then Malfoy laughed. That is when it flew over and onto his face. Malfoy screamed like a little girl and began flapping his arms around like a duck.

"Remember it's poisonous!" Mad eye exclaimed I burst out laughing and then Mad eye was about to bring it over to me when he saw Neville Longbottom shiver in disgust. He asked for another curse and picked Neville to answer. Neville gave the answer and Mad eye made Neville watch as he tortured the spider.

"Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him!" Hermione screamed.

Mad eye Moody then looked up at Hermione. He set the spider onto her desk. She looked away trying to hold in her fear.

"Then Miss Granger would you like to explain to me what the last but not least of Dark magic spells would be?"

Hermione would not speak.

"AVADA CADAVRA!!!!" Mad eye yelled.... The spider was killed right in front of poor Hermione.....

Class ended and we left, Hermione, Harry and Ron started to walk down the stairs.

"Are you coming Erica?" Ron asked.

"Oh yeah, one second." I replied.

I ran over to Neville who was about to leave. "Hey Neville! Are you alright?" I asked him consolingly.

"Yeah...I-I'm fine." he murmured.

"He shouldn't have done that it was wrong." I exclaimed in a understanding fashion. Neville just nodded.

"And your definitely sure your alright?" I asked him once more.

"Yeah I'm ok, thanks for worrying Erica." he mumbled. Then he walked away down the stairs. I gave Mad eye moody one last sour look before turning on my heels swiftly out the door and down the stairs.

I saw Neville standing, staring lostly and fixatingly at a rain splattered window of a crying man.

"Neville are you ok?" Hermione asked.

Neville just kept staring at that window.

Mad eye made his way down the stairs to Neville. "Come on son, come to up to my office and we will have some tea." Mad eye mumbled to Neville. Neville just nodded and started to get lead back to the classroom by Mad eye Moody.

I was walking to my dorm with Hermione to get my book and started to ask her. "Are you ok, Hermione?..."

"Yes, I-It's just he shouldn't have down that to Neville and then to me..." She mumbled off.

"I know, It was terrible. I hate him, and look at it this way, He hasn't got much going for him as of what has happened to all the rest of the Defence against the Dark arts teachers?" I replied trying to make her happier.

"I know...I find that strange, don't you think? Maybe that job is cursed?!" She replied laughing.

After we got my book we made our way to find Harry and Ron. Turns out they were watching the older kids put their names in the cup, that Dumbledore had put and age circle around for the Champions who can compete in the challenges. Cedric had put his name in and so did a couple of others. Most of the time I sat with Hermione reading, It turns out we have a lot in common. We both love to read and learn, well... I like learning cool things. She is really bossy but I don't mind seeing as sometime I get really lost on what is going on, so she can bring me down to earth again! Although she absolutely hates when I day dream and I absolutely hate when she ruins my day dreams but that's life I guess....Not everyone is perfect.
