The Black Rose

Chapter Forty-Seven- Moody's class

"Alastor Moody. Ex auror. Ministry Malcom tenth. And your new defense against the dark arts teacher." Moody begins tossing the chalk he was using aside. 

"I am here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story. Goodbye. The end. Any questions?" Jabe smirked as Moody says this. 

She had to admit. 

Crouch was doing a good job of portraying Moody. No one should ever know that he wasn't the real Moody. That was unless they found the real Moody. Which wasn't exacly likely. 

"Now when it comes to the dark arts I believe in a practical approach. That is why professor black is here, due to her particular knowledge on this subject." 

Jabe rolls her eyes. 

"Great Alastor. Might as well come out and say I'm here because my sister was a death eater." 

Some of the students mumble to their classmates and other give a chuckle. Jabe saw one particular student wince. 

She knew who this student was. Neville Longbottom. 

The child who's parents had been tortured insane by her sister. Longbottom never really took a shine to Jabe like the other students. 

And normally Jabe wouldn't care but in this case she needed him to warm up to her for the plan to work. 

They needed him to trust Jabe so she could manipulate him into helping potter with his tasks. 

"Now which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?" Moody asks. "Three sir." The Granger girl speaks up. 

"And they are named that because?" Jabe asks crossing her arms. 

As much as she hated almost everyone in this school when she got into teaching mode, she almost really got into it. 

"Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will-" 

Moody cuts Granger off. "Earn you a one way ticket to azkaban. Correct." Moody says aggressively writing on the board. 

"Now." Jabe speaks up as eyes turn to her. 

"The ministry says you may be too young to see what these curses can do but Dumbledore and the two of us have decided different. Given everything that has happened the past three years you need to be prepared. You need to know what your up against. And-"

 "you need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk Mr. finnigan." 

Jabe couldn't help but snort at that, due to the fact that moody had his back turned. 

Seamus gasps and whispers "ah no way. The old cod can't see out of the back of his head." Jabe ducks as Moody launches the chalk over her head and towards the student. 

"And hear across classrooms." Moody yells. Jabe sighs shaking her head. 

Maybe crouch was getting too into this. "Well. Which curse shall we see first?" Moody says. "Weasley!" Moody snaps making the ginger yelp. 

"Stand." Moody orders and jabes shakes her head. "Come on Mr. Weasley. He's not going to eat you. That's what I'm here for." 

That makes chuckles fill the tense room. "Now. Give us a curse." Jabe says after the student shakily stands. 

"Well my dad did tell me about one. The imperius curse." Jabe smirks. 

"Oh yes. Your father would know all about that one. Gave the ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago. Alastor shall we show them why?" Jabe says.
