chapter 16- fourth year

it was almost the end of the first day and i had one more class to go. i walk into defense against the dark arts, and take a seat beside draco.

"excited for class?" draco says as i pull out my books.

"why would i-"

"alastor moody" the professor from the great hall earlier says to the class. draco smirks at me.

"this is going to be fun." he whispers. i roll my eyes.

"-and your new defense against the dark arts teacher." i hear him say as im flipping to the right page.

"pay attention y/n." draco whispers, elbowing me but the arm.

"i am." i mutter.

  mad eye moody notices and quickly turns his head to face us.

"anything you'd like to say to the class?" he yells at both me and draco, we both quickly shake our heads.

  he gives us a deathly glare and begins to focus his attention back on the class.

"i am here because dumbledore asked me end of story goodbye, any questions?" he asks, the classroom is silent.

"when it comes to the dark arts i believe in a practical approach- first which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are."

  i shoot my hand up but hermione just answers.

"three sir." she says nervously.

"-so which curse should we see first?" he asks after screaming at a kid from gryffindor.

"weasley!" my eyes dart to his red hair.

"yes." he mumbles and i can tell he's petrified.

"stand!" ron gets up from his seat nervously, "give us a curse." professor moody demands.

i start biting on my lip a little scared, "well, my dad did tell me about one- the imperius curse."

moody walks over to a table or jars and takes out a small spider, quickly though turning it huge.

"imperio." he says casting the curse.

the spider flys around the room then landing on dracos face, i start to laugh and his eyes grow huge. he's grabbing my arm, trying to get me to help him. goyle attempts to try and swat it off but is far to scared to touch it, i laugh even harder.

"talented isn't it. what shall i ever do next? jump out the window." professor moody says and my laughter stops.

  draco still glaring at me.

"drown herself?" scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they've only did the you know who's bidding under the influence of the imperius curse." he says and i shutter at the thought of you know who.

"but here's the rub, how do we sort out the liars?"

the rest of the class was very traumatic.

  i think it was more traumatic for hermione and longbottom though. draco was fairly silent during the class, i could tell he hated it.

i walk down to the common rooms and see pansy draped over dracos shoulders, giggling uncontrollably. draco has a confused look on his face, like he has no idea what's going on.

he looks up at me widening his eyes, like he is asking for help. pansy's glance falls on me and she stops laughing.

"didn't know people where out of classes yet." she says clearly annoyed that i walked in.

"yeah sorry, classes just got out. i can go if-"

draco interrupts me, "no, no stay."

pansy finally removes her arms off of him, "yeah stay." she says rolling her eyes.

draco gives me half a smile and i sit on a chair in the back, away from them. i take out my book and start to read when i hear blaise's laughter from down the hall and his footsteps entering the room.

i look up and to see him with crabbe and goyle.

"hey guys." i say putting my book down.

"hey y/n!" blaise says rushing over to me and plopping down beside me.

"how was your day?" he says smiling.

"better now that your here." i say and point across the room to draco and pansy.

he raises his eyebrows and makes a face.

"sorry you had to endure that, cannot stand being in the same room with them." i laugh and draco turns around.

he stares at us both then turns around back to pansy going on and on about this new dress she bought.

  i focus my attention back on blaise and he holds up the book i was reading.

"wanna go read outside?" he asks nodding out to the courtyard.

"yes, i would love that- i heard it's really nice outside."

"great let's go." he takes my arm and we walk out. i look behind once more and see draco staring back at me. quickly he turns away though, as pansy snaps at him to pay attention to her.

once we get out to the courtyard blaise and i sit down beside a tree, pulling out our books.

"studying for defense against the dark arts, that professor moody scares the living shit out of me." blaise says holding up his book.

i laugh and pull out my homework and a book, "potions, of course."

"of course." blaise says smiling.

  as we are reading, i notice luna standing in front of me.

"hello y/n, potions homework i see?" she asks kindly.

i nod, "yup, but im stuck on this question."

"ill help." she says, her voice calm.

blaise turns his head slightly, watching her help me. then goes back to reading his book.

"there you go, understand now?" she asks after helping me on the question.

"yeah, thank you luna. you're a lifesaver once again." she smiles warmly and walks away aimlessly.

"isn't she nice?" i ask blaise as he's reading.

"i guess- yeah, very weird though."

"the best kind of weird." he laughs a little and returns back to reading.

  the rest of the time spent at the tree is quiet. but the perfect kind of quiet.
