Chapter 9

Rose's P.O.V

Early next morning, I woke up with a start. I got up, dressed in the pale dawn light, left the dormitory without waking any of the girls, and went back down to the deserted common room. I saw Harry was awake also writing a letter most likely to his Godfather.

"Morning Harry." I said Harry jumped and looked at me and relaxed.

"Morning Rose." He replied smiling at me I smiled back then sat next to him he hid his letter I frowned then smiled again.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked him sweetly he blushed.

"Just writing a letter to Sirius." He told me I nodded still smiling sweetly and he was still blushing perfect.

"Ok wanna go to get some breakfast?" I asked him he nodded.

"Sure but I have to deliver this letter I'll meet you there." I nodded

We then climbed out of the portrait hole, up through the silent castle (held up only briefly by Peeves, who tried to overturn a large vase on us halfway along the fourth-floor corridor), we went our separate ways.

I entered the Great Hall then went over to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Ron and Hermione not long later Harry joined us telling us what he wrote in his letter to Sirius.

"That was a lie, Harry," Hermione said sharply over breakfast. "You didn't imagine your scar hurting and you know it."

Oh Tom what are you doing to the poor boy I smirked evilly luckily the trio didn't see.

"So what." Harry said. "He's not going back to Azkaban because of me."

"Drop it," Ron snapped sharply to Hermione as she opened her mouth to argue some more, and for once, Hermione heeded him, and fell silent.

I saw Harry looked anxious and nervous for what reason I didn't know but I didn't really care.

We all left the Great Hall after finishing eating then entered the DADA room and saw Moody he smirked at me I wonder what he has planned.

To everyone's surprise, Professor Moody had announced that he would be putting the Imperius Curse on each of them in turn, to demonstrate its power and to see whether they could resist its effects.

"But - but you said it's illegal, Professor," Hermione said uncertainly as Moody cleared away the desks with a sweep of his wand, leaving a large clear space in the middle of the room I rolled my eyes at the Mudblood. "You said - to use it against another human was -"

"Dumbledore wants you taught what it feels like," Moody told her, his magical eye swiveling onto Hermione and fixing her with an eerie, unblinking stare. "If you'd rather learn the hard way - when someone's putting it on you so they can control you completely - fine by me. You're excused. Off you go."

He pointed one gnarled finger toward the door. Hermione went very pink and muttered something about not meaning that she wanted to leave. Harry, Ron and I grinned at each other. We all knew Hermione would rather eat bubotuber pus than miss such an important lesson.

Moody began to beckon students forward in turn and put the Imperius Curse upon them.

I watched as, one by one, his classmates did the most extraordinary things under its influence. Dean Thomas hopped three times around the room, singing the national anthem.

Lavender Brown imitated a squirrel. Neville performed a series of quite astonishing gymnastics he would certainly not have been capable of in his normal state. Not one of them seemed to be able to fight off the curse, and each of them recovered only when Moody had removed it.

"Potter," Moody growled, "you next."

Harry moved forward into the middle of the classroom, into the space that Moody had cleared of desks. Moody raised his wand, pointed it at Harry, and said, 'Imperio!"

I saw Harry was about to jump but he stopped the curse isn't working on him that much.
