Harry's POV.

Dumbledore had his normal speech at the welcoming feast, then told us about the tournament. He told them that it was restricted to only 6th and 7th years. Then he starts to explain something else when the doors slam open. In walks the new DADA teacher, Alistair Moody, aka Barty Jr.

He walks up to the front table with the other teachers and greets Dumbledore. He is then introduced to everyone else, as the new DADA teacher, Professor Moody. 

Everyone claps a nervous, 'I am trying to be polite' type of clap, then we are dismissed.

He then adds that the Durmstrang boys and Beauxbatons girls will arrive in two months.


The next two months fly by. I have been hanging out with Fred and George. They had received the letter from Gringotts, telling them that some of their family has been caught stealing. They tried to apologize to them when I told them to stop. Explaining that they do not need to apologize for something that they didn't take part in, or even knew about. 

We walked outside with the other students, to welcome the visiting schools. The girls arrive on a chariot pulled by pegasi, and the boys rise out of the black lake on a ship. We are finally allowed back inside the great hall, where the schools give their opening acts, before sitting down.

I haven't eaten in a while, my instincts acting up. After dinner, I rush up to Fred and George, "Let's go to your room, now," I say, semi-dragging them along.

"What's going on Harry?" Fred asks as we enter their room.

"Listen, I need to go get me food my body can digest. I will explain when I get back, just cover for me, ok?" I ask of them.

"Of course, Harry. You are like our brother, see you in a few," George replies. 

I shift into my Pheonix animagus form and fly out their window. Once I reach the end of the wards I turn back into myself, apparating as fast as I can. I arrive in the same alley as before. I am forced to follow my instincts, having had waited too long to eat. I luckily found a guy stalking a mother and her daughter, I snag him and drag him to the alley. I quickly eat him, knocking him unconscious first, then turning him into a rock when I was done. I apparate back to Hogwarts and fly back into Fred's and George's window. Landing as my normal self.

Fred and George look up as I land.

"You're an animagus?" they ask in sync.

"Yes. I can turn into a pheonix and a basilisk. What do you want to know?" I ask them, wanting to get the story over with.

"Why can't you eat the food at Hogwarts?" George asks.

"I went through an early creature inheritance, it can't eat normal human food," I tell them.

"Which reason for going through it early?" Fred asks.

"The near-death experience one," I tell them.

"What do you eat, if you can't eat normal human food?" George asks.

"I need to eat human flesh, it is the only thing my body can digest. Eating normal human food will make me sick and weaken me," I tell them.

"Was the near-death from your uncle?" Fred asks.

"Yes," I say, then turn back to George, knowing his question is next.

"What is your creature?" George asks.

"I am a ghoul," I tell them.

They nod, taking in everything they just learned.
