-chapter 5

"When it comes to the Dark Arts i believe in practical approach"The Professor of Defense against the Dark Arts, Professor Merrythought started
"But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?"

"Three, professor" The Hufflepuff boy named Allen Sanders answered who was sitting next to Henry

"And they are so named?" Professor Merrythought asked

"Because they are unforgivable." A Gryfinndor girl answered "The use of any of then will--"

"Earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban" Professor Merrythought interrupted her as she wrote words on the blackboard "Correct. The Ministry says you are too young to see what these curses do but i say different, you need to know you're up againts. You need to be prepared since Grindelwald is at large..."

The four spies gulped as the Professor mention Grindelwald.

"So, what curse shall we see first?" Professor Merrythought said as she steps forward to a Red haired Gryfinndor boy "Mr.Weasley, please stand"

The Septimus Weasley stood up.

"Give us a curse"

Weasley looked around then he looked at Professor Merrythought before answering "My dad did tell me about one... The Imperius Curse?"

Professor Merrythought nodded "Yes. Your father would know about that one. Gave the Ministry a lot of trouble at one time. Perhaps this will show you why"

"Five points to Gryfinndor!" Professor Merrythought announced causing the Septimus to beamed as he took his seat back

Professor Merrythought went back to her desk and opened a jar that has a spider and picked it out.

"Hello there" Professor Merrythought greeted the spider

"Engorgio"  Professor Merrythought casted the spell to the spider and it grown larger than his regular size

"Imperio!"

The spider begins hopping around the room, onto student's clothes. It first dropped on Tom's book who wasn't scared at the spider at all, he just narrowed his eyes to it with a unreadable face then the spider went to Septimus' head who was awfully scared.

"Talented, isn't she? What shall i have her next? Jump out the window?" The spider jumps towards the window, which is closed, and slams into the glass

"Drown herself?" Professor Merrythought asked

The spider jumps to a pail of water and poises on the rim, ready to dive. Then she brings her back to his hand.

Professor Merrythought sighed "Let's have another curse"

Everyone shot their hands up including Victoria.

Professor Merrythought looked at the boy and called him "Mr.Williams, is it?"

"Y-Yes Mam" Gideon replied and the professor nodded, waiting to his answer

"The C-Cruciatus C-Curse, Mam" The boy stuttered

"Excellent! Five points to Gryfinndor" Professor Merrythought said

Professor Merrythought put the spider down to her book that is lying to her desk.

"Now be ready" She warned us "The torture curse"

The Professor sighed before casting the spell to the spider

"Crucio"

The spider begins to squeak and whined in pain. Everyone flinches except Tom, who almost got used to it cause he always used the curse to his knights.
