Part 8- professor moody

(y/n) pov

I had been spending the past few days with Harry more than anyone else. He had told me about how Ron wasn't speaking to him and it upset me to here this. "harry he will come around. he just doesn't know what he is feeling just give him a bit of time and soon he will realise" I gave him a sympathetic smile.

 "come on we will be late for class" he replied. our next lesson was DADA with the newest teacher known as Mad eye moody. He was a bit odd looking to be honest and is a bit scary, but this is one of my favourite classes and can't be all that bad. 

We were one of the last students to enter the class so we took the left seats toward the front. everyone was clearly avoiding sitting in the front row. "Alastor moody" he introduced himself  "ex auror... ministry of malcomn tent... new defence against the dark arts teacher" he wrote with chalk messily on the board "I am here because Dumbledore asked me. end of story. goodbye. the end" he snapped "any questions?" we were all too fearful to raise our hands. "when it comes to the dark arts.. I believe in a practical approach... first who can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are" I was confused by this as I am sure we aren't allowed to be learning this so early in Hogwarts

 "th-three sir" Hermione hesitated to answer the question unsure of what would come after 

"and they are so named?" he turned back to the board beginning to write 

"because they are unforgivable the use of any one of them will.." we could hear the fear in the tone of her voice, but before she could continue he interrupted

 "get you a one way ticket to azkaban.. the ministry says you are too young to see what these curses do I SAY DIFFERENT" he raised his voice taking us all by surprise "YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR UP AGAINST. YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED. YOU NEED TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO PUT YOUR GUM BESIDES UNDER THE TABLE MR FINNAGIN." he shouted throwing a piece of chalk across the room. Why had Dumbledore hired a teacher like this?  "so which curse shall we see first" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. not only are we learning about them but we are going to see them. I have a really bad feeling about this lesson.

"Weasley" he raised his voice 

"yes" I could hear the fear in his voice. 

"STAND" the class turned to see Ron rising of his chair in fear. He asked him to name one of the curses and he did, not knowing what was ahead. The Professor turned to his bag and pulled out a jar containing a spider of some sort. After Ron had named the imperious curse, moody began performing this on the animal. The next to be names was the Cruciatus curse which made Neville clearly uncomfortable

 "stop it stop! cant you see that it is bothering him" I raised my voice. 

"now miss y/l/n" he turned and walked over to my desk "could you do the honour of naming the last curse" I refused shaking my head with eyes full of tears. "the killing curse...avada kedarvra" he shouted as a green flash of light took the life from the creature.

I was still slightly shook up from the lesson so I sat under a tree in the courtyard by myself and took out a book. I felt the presence of someone sit besides me and looked up to see a grinning Fred. "what you doing out here in the cold alone?" I lowered my book 

"reading" I replied bluntly

 "woah whats with the sad mood y/n?" he moved closer next to me

 "nothing i am perfectly fine"  

"now me and you both know that is a load of crap" I gently smiled looking up to him. Even sitting down he was so much taller than me which made me feel sort of intimidated "come on you can tell me" he touched my hand placing the book down on the ground 

"well i just had a class were professor moody tortured a poor innocent creature right in front of us" realising I was getting angry as I spoke about it I calmed myself "it just took be by surprise that's all" he locked eye contact with me and brushed the hair out of my face 

"it's cute how much you care y/n" I felt the redness on my cheeks heat up as he pulled me into a tight hug. I suddenly felt safe in his arms and butterflies filled my stomach as I felt his lips place a kiss on my forehead. He released me from the hug "I know you will probably already be going with Ron and Hermione to the first task but if not.. will you join me?" I looked up with a shocked expression on my face "of course George will be there" 

 "I would love to" he nodded and smiled then headed off to find George. Okay so it is normal for this to happen right? it is normal for friends to this right? I let the thought leave my mind remembering that harry must be struggling with his first task. 

---------------------------------time skip---------------------------------------------------------------

After my little moment with Fred I had gone off to find Harry and help him prepare for his first task in anyway I could. I was sitting with him and Hermione in the library "dragons!" she raised her voice before being shushed by the younger years. 

"yes hermione dragons and there is one for each of us"  

"did you get there names?" I asked

 "no" he bluntly replies

 "do you know who has which dragon?"

 "no" 

"wow harry you are so helpful" I joked letting out a little laugh "okay if we read through these books and come across one that sounds familiar we can work off that" we all agreed and collected the books we needed to start looking. 

After a while of looking "that's it! that is the one I saw. the Hungarian Horntail" I suddenly felt sick to my stomach with fear 

"harry you better hope you don't get this one" he looked at me concerned "now we need to find a way for you to get your broom into the pitch" 

"accio!" hermione said excitedly 

"brilliant! what is it?" he replied confused

 "harry it is a spell where it brings anything right to you. so if you say accio fire bolt it should come right to you"

After we were done we started heading back to the common room when Hermione turned to me "should I meet you at the game with Ron or in the common room before?" I smiled whilst looking down

 " surprisingly Fred asked me to join him and George" she looked at me with a teasing grin 

"you say that as if he hasn't been flirting with you since we were first at the burrow" I began to blush and tried to laugh it off "do you like him?" I looked at her confused. I mean do i? 

"I don't know really. I get this feeling when he is around that I don't get with anyone else and he makes me laugh" I was interrupted by her bursting into laughter "what's so funny?" I laughed with her

 "you like Fred!" she raised her voice  

"oh my god Hermione do you want the whole school to know?" I covered her mouth out of embarrassment. She slowly removed my hand and gave me a mischievous smile 

"so you do like Fred" 

"fine. maybe I do but this stays between us. he probably doesn't feel the same"   

"y/n he is always looking over at you and smiles when you laugh and he invited you to the first task" we laughed and went back to our room ready for the task tomorrow.
