Your pov:

We were in DADA class the next day, we didn't talk much about what happened, but we didn't pretend it didn't happen. Of course, because I had a strange nightmare and being in bed together was a nice experience, especially when Draco was so sweet about it. Any guy would have tried to get something out of it, but he didn't. He was fine with just holding me and he was fine with that, and that's awesome. As of now, we were sitting with each other, joking around when our new teacher walked in, telling us to be quiet. "Alastor Moody," He said to the class. "Ministry, malcontent, and your new defense against the dark arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me, the end of the story, goodbye, the end. Any questions?" Draco and I shared a look as everyone stayed silent and he turned to write as he spoke, "When it comes to the dark arts, I believe in a practical approach. But first, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?"

"Three, sir," Hermione answered. "And they are so named?" He asked. "Because they are unforgivable," Hermione chirped out, uneasy. "Use of any one of them will..." "Will earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban. Correct," Moody said. "Now the ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do. I say different! You need to know what you're up against, you need to be prepared, you need to find somewhere else to put your chewing gum other than the underside of your desk, Mr. Finnigan!" I smirked as we all turned to Seamus putting his gum under his desk. Seamus spoke quietly, "Aw no way, the old codger can see out the back of his head." Moody quickly turned and threw the piece of chalk he was using to write at him. Draco and I snickered, trying not to burst out into laughter. "So which curse shall we see first. Weasley!" Ron chirped up, scared then got up like he was told. "Give us a curse."

"Well, my dad did tell me about one," Ron admitted. "The Imperious curse." "Ahhh yes, your father would know all about that," Moody said. "Gave the ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago. Perhaps this will show you why." He went to the jars and took out a spider, he enlarged it then cast, "Imperio." Moody moved the spider around the classroom making everyone laugh, he put it over Ron's head causing us to laugh then Moody spoke, "What are you laughing at?" He put it on my face, people expected me to panic, but I was unphased by it completely. I took it off my face with ease and placed it on my desk before petting it a bit. He moved it to be on Potter's face making us laugh again then Moody spoke, "Talented, isn't she? What shall I have her do next? Jump out the window? Drown herself?"

He held her above a glass of water then brought her back to his hand before continuing, "Scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did you-know-whose bidding under the influence of the imperious curse. But here's the rub, how do we sort out the liars?" "The cruciatus curse," I answered, causing everyone to look at me. "It's a spell that tortures," Neville added, uneasy. "Longbottom, isn't it?" Moody questioned and he nodded. "Stand." Neville did so and stepped to the front of the class, Moody cast, "Curcio." The spider started screaming faintly in pain, I tried to get a better look at Neville's face that was looking very discomforted. I small smirked tugged on my lips then Hermione snapped, "Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him! Stop it!"

Moody did so, Neville let out a breath then sat down again as Moody took the spider and placed it on Hermione's desk. "Perhaps you can give us the next unforgivable curse, Ms. Granger?" Moody suggested. Hermione glanced at him and shook his head causing me to scoff, of course, she doesn't have the stomach. "It's Avada Kedavra," I interjected, everyone looked at me. "It's the killing curse, one strike is instant death." "Correct, Ms. Y/n," Moody said then cast it on the spider. "Ten points to Slytherin. The killing curse. Only two people have been known to survive it... and they're in this room right now." Everyone turned their gaze to Potter as Moody took a swing of his flask, Polyjuice Potion... Barty Jr., I smirked then the bell rang and we all left to the next class.
