I groaned as I walked to my last class of the day with Alicia, Fred, and George. It was unfortunately a class that we didn't have with Lee and Angelina, but that was the least of my worries.

I did not like Professor Moody one bit. I don't know what it is about him, but I just don't like him.

"It'll be over soon," George nudged me, walking over to his seat next to Fred.

I nodded, taking my seat next to Alicia behind Fred and George. I dropped my bag at my side and propped my feet up on my desk. But they were only there for a second before an invisible force shoved them off.

"Oi!" I glared at Professor Moody. "What the bloody hell was that for?!"

He only glared at me, wobbling to the front of the class.

"Today, class, we'll be going over one of the Unforgivable Curses," Professor Moody announced. "Or more specifically, the Imperius Curse."

I rolled my eyes, tuning him out and turning to Alicia. I grabbed a scrap of parchment and a Muggle pen and quickly wrote I heard you and Lee got into it. Are you alright?

Alicia read it to herself, frowning at the words. She took the pen from me and wrote back Yeah I'm alright. It was stupid really, he just made me mad. But what about you and Fred?

I ignored the ache in my heart as I responded Nothing's changed. Still pretending the kiss never happened.

"Miss Bennet," Professor Moody called.

I jumped, looking up at him. "Yes?"

"Tell me, what's the incantation for the Imperius Curse?" He challenged, his blue eye on my desk for some reason.

"The incantation is Imperio," I answered simply.

"Alright," he nodded, "but I doubt you'll know how to defend yourself from a Death Eater using the Imperius Curse if you're passing notes to Miss Spinnet all of class."

My cheeks burned as the class laughed.

"Enough!" Professor Moody roared, the class calming down immediately. "I want everyone up and in the center of the room!"

Scrapes from chairs echoed loudly around the room as everyone got up and walked to the center of the classroom. Professor Moody muttered a spell and the desks pushed themselves against the wall, leaving a wide open space in the middle.

"You'll be learning how to defend yourself from the Imperius Curse," Professor Moody said, ordering us into a line.

"What?" Alicia gasped. "B-But that's illegal."

"I've gotten permission from Dumbledore," Professor Moody claimed.

I didn't believe that for a second.

"Bennet, you can go first," he decided, beckoning me forward.

I hesitantly walked into the middle, right in front of him. Fred, George, and Alicia were staring at me wide eyed.
