Phoenix Evans and the Goblet of Fire

Mad Eye is really well Mad

After fighting the Bubotubers and handing the last bottles to professor Sprout which was oddly satisfying.   We went to Hagrids to do with Skrewts which wasn’t as fun but I worked with Neville so that was okay. But I kept on blushing which was rather annoying. Plus I still reminded the dream I had and followed Ron and Harry to Trelawney class. I wasn’t wanting to be in her class but it was better than Math’s. It was Easy A and I was hoping maybe to learn more about this. Maybe I knew stuff. Just didn’t know it yet.

I wasn’t going to tell people well Alice was the only person who knew. I think she forgot about it honestly. I can’t believe I thought she was fraud but all what she said was true.

“Nix why are you talking this class for easy grade” asked Ron as we head to the North Tower. 

“Yeah sure” I said shrugged and Harry looked at me worried but didn’t know what to say which was kind of thankful for that.

We climb the step ladder and I sat down next to Ron and Harry. Professor appeared behind us, making us all jump.  I kind of stop listening to her as she spoke. I felt really sick all the sudden and I mumbled something leaving them room while she mention that she wanted to talk to me. I leaned against the wall trying to calm myself down when I got flashes of grave. I rubbed my head trying to calm myself with felt someone putting their hand on my shoulder making me jump. It was Neville followed by everyone else who look sad.

“We have a lot of homework “Neville mumbled and I groan as he handed me what I was supposed to do. I thanked him and we talked about things and he made me laugh telling a story about Seamus blowing something up.

We stopped by the Great Hall to see Malfoy rubbing something into Ron’s face he looked so mad.  Ron looked like he was about to explode when Mad Eye came out of nowhere wave his wand and Draco was gone. Confused I looked at the ground to see a pure white ferret. I felt kind of mad but I wanted to laugh at the same time.

Neville chuckled while others were laughing. I looked at Alice who was grinned ear from ear and who High fived the Wesley twins.

But he got in trouble so Malfoy was back to his human self and ran away mumbling that his father would hear about this. I said goodbye to Neville and went to where Alice and Luna were before others head to the great hall to eat.

“Did (laugh) you (laugh) see (laugh) his (laugh) face” laughed Alice trying to calm down. Her blonde hair bobbing with her. Alice was almost on floor laughing. Luna looked unfazed by what happen and mention that she really wanted pudding. Alice said she would be there soon.

“It wasn’t that funny” I mumbled biting my life. Alice stood up and raised her eyebrow at me. She knew something was wrong.

“Okay spill what happen” she asked poking me and I explained what I sat as we entered the dining room.

“It’s nothing well probably nothing I hope but just keep it in the back of your mind okay” mumbled Alice and hugged me. She went to join Luna and sat down next to my brother and friends. They were mumbling about how cool it was. Hermione looked at me worried.

“Are you okay Neville told me” asked Hermione.

“I think so it’s nothing just nervous about being back” said with shrug and went back to eating one thing was sure. Ron mumbled how we don’t get to see Mad eye until Thursday, I think Thursday was going to be interesting day.

Two days passed with well not amazing scary no danger accident. But poor Neville he melted his cauldron in Potions sixth one. I asked him if he would like some help.  Poor Neville good dentation and well Snape wasn't in good mood.

Everyone thought it was because Mad eye got the job but I really don't know. Snape was well Snape. But he was nice to me which I still didn't get but oh well soon time for Defense against the Dark Arts.  I shared table with my brother, Hermione and Ron right next to teacher’s desk... We got out our copies of "The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection" and waited. It was quite and I was really thinking he was going to come out of nowhere and scared everyone half to death.

But we heard clunking of footsteps coming down the hallway which I was guessing was him. He walked into the class room with tense feeling. I felt scared not because he was a famous Wizard Catcher but something was different.  

"You can put those away, you won't need them" he mumbled talking about the books. We put them in our bags and of course Ron was excited. I shook my head and shared look with Hermione. 

We walked up to white board in front of us and started to write his name. 

'Dumbledore asked me to come here end of story any questions" he mumbled his wizard eye looking at everyone. I looked at Hermione and she shrugged. Well than something was off but I wasn't going to say that out loud.

Nobody said anything so he went on talking. It was really quite. People were hanging on to his every word or like Neville and Me we wanted to get out as fast as we could. .

"With Defense against the Dark Arts I like to take practically approach" he mumbled. I saw Ron and Harry sharing a look with Hermione I played with my bracelet and bit my lip.

"Now if you can please tell me how many Unforgivable curses they are" he asked looking around the room and yelled at Seamus who wasn't paying attention. My eyes went wide as I remembered what they were and bit my lip. I read about them but didn't go on because it was just well to sick don't even talk about.

'Three Sir' Said Hermione taking breathe. 

Moody wrote it down on the chalk board.

"And they are name that why” Moody ask facing the board. 

Hermione bit her lip and swallowed "Because they are unforgivable the use of any one of them will earn you” I looked at Neville who was trying to look for escape. Rest of class was confused or really quite.

"A one name ticket to Azkaban" mumbled Moody writing the on the board. 

"The Minister says you're too young to see what these curses do" he said turning around and threw chalk down. I bit my lip hard and Neville jumped. Hermione gave me a worried look before Moody going on.

"I don't see any difference you need to prepared and you need to know what the difference is" he mumbled. He walked towards the class and you could see the scar clear "So what curse should we learn about first" he asked.

Nope I wasn't going to raise my hand. I looked at Hermione who didn't want to talk about it at all. We took breathe and looked anywhere but Moody.

"Weasley" asked he asked Ron. Who jumped and Harry did also. 

"Yes" said Ron not wanting to be there. Moody made him stand and Ron took a deep breathe. 

"Give us a Curious” Moody asked him. Ron swallowed and bit his lip.

"Well my dad did hear one because he works in Ministry" Ron said quietly and Moody told him to go on. 

"The imperious curse” Ron mumbled and I swallowed and put my arms around me. Hermione gave me worry looked.

"Gave ministry a lot of grief years ago and you will see why" he mumbled before taking spider out of the jar. My eyes went wide and swallowed. What I don't like spiders who does like spiders. Ron’s eyes went wide and I bit my lip as Moody cast the charm on the spider after making it bigger. I closed my eyes and took breathe while I heard some of the group laugh while I wanted to just run of there. Moody was laugh and I open my eyes and swallowed. 

"Talented is she not would should I do to her next, make her jump out the window or drown herself" the class quite down looking quite shock and I bit my lip harder... 

I couldn't stay there any more it was sick. He went on but I ran out all the way outside just to breathe. I put arms around me and cried
