Today we have a lesson with Moody. People said that he’s teaching style is cool but a little scary and I guess I have to find it out today
 
“Alastor Moody,” said Moody and he writed his name on the board. “Ministry malcontent. And your new defence against the dark arts teacher. I’m here because Dumbledore asked me, end of story, goodbye, the end. Any question?”
 
People in the classroom just silent whether they don’t have question or just afraid of Moody. I personally afraid of him especially his eyes
 
“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?” asked Moody
 
“Three sir,” said Hermione as usual
 
“And they are so named?” asked Moody
 
“Because they are unforgivable. Use of any one of them will..” said Hermione.
 
“Will earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban. Correct. 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 you desk Mr. Finnigan!” said Moody.
 
 
“Aw, no way, the old codger can see out the back of his head,” said Moody
 
Moody throws the chalk in anger. And unlucky me, it hits me
 
“Aw!” I said
 
“I’m so sorry. Ms. Peter right?” Moody smiled. It kinda creepy
 
“Yes, that’s fine Professor,” I smiled back.
 
“So, which curse shall we see fist?” said Mad Eye. “Weasley!”
 
“Yes...” said Ron afraid
 
“Give us a curse,” said Moody
 
“Well, my dad did tell me about one.. the imperious curse,” said Ron.
 
“Ahhh yes, your father would know all about that. Gave the ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago. Perhaps this will show you why,” said Moody. Moody pops open a jar with a spider in it
 
“Hello what a little beauty,” said Moody. “Imperio.” He uses his wand to send it around the class
 
“Don’t worry. Completely harmless,” said Moody
 
The class is unsettled
 
“But if she bites, she’s lethal!” said Moody while the spider dancing in Ron’s face. Poor Ron! He’s biggest fear is spider. Draco laughed
 
“What are you laughing at?” asked Moody
 
Moody sends the spider onto Draco’s face
 
“Talented isn’t she? What shall I have her do next? Jump out the window?  Drown herself?” asked Moody
 
Moody has the spider over a bucket of water, it’s wriggling.
 
“Scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only do did you know whose bidding under the influence of the imperious curse. Bur here’s the rub, how do we sort out of the liars?” said Moody. “Another... another...”
 
And this time, a lot of people raises their hands. And Neville one of them
 
“Come on come on. Longbottom is it? Up,” said Moody. Neville stands
 
“Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for Herbology,” said Moody. Neville nodded
 
“There’s the um.. The cruciatus curse,” said Neville
 
“Correct! Correct! Come come. Particularly nasty. The torture curse,” said Moody.
 
Moody begins torturing the spider with magic, “Grucio!” it squels. And Neville seems to feel the spider’s pain like he knows what it feels like
 
“Stop it! Can’t you see it’s bothering him, stop it!” said Hermione
 
Moody stops. Neville is disturbed. Moody picks up the spider which is still making a noise.
 
“Perhaps you could give us the last unforgivable curse Miss Granger,” said Moody
 
Hermione shakes her head. “The Killing Curse!” I said suddenly because Hermione looks like she wanna cry.
 
“That’s right!” Moody said.  “The Killing Curse. Avada Kedavra,” said Moody to the spider. “Only one person is known to have survived it. And he’s sitting in this room.”
 
Moody approaches Harry’s desk and takes a drink.
 
The class already finished and now we’re on our way to the great hall because they’re going to announce the champion
 
“Brilliant isn’t he! Completely demented of course. Terrifying to be in the same room with, he’s really been here you know,” said Ron.
 
“There’s a reason those curses are unforgivable, and to perform them in a classroom. I mean did you see Neville’s face,” said Hermione. And I see Neville just stands there alone, staring at the window.
 
“Neville?” I asked. Moody approaches Neville and pats him on the shoulder.
 
“Son, are you alright?” asked Moody. Neville nods.
 
“Come on, we’ll have a cup of tea. I want to show you something,” said Moody and bring Neville to his office. After Moody left.
 
“As I said before, he’s terrifying,” said Hermione
 
“Well, at the other side, we know that Harry is the only one that can prevent the killing curse.” I said
 
“Yeah, Fanny, how do you know that spell?” Harry asked
 
“Grand already told me what makes my parents killed. That’s how I know it,” I said
 

“C’mon just get to the great hall,” said Hermione

Older students are placing their names into the flame and others are applauding, Cedric is one of them. Hermione and I sit on the chair. I’m reading one of Hermione’s muggle novel, she said it was great.
 
“Hey Fanny,” said Cedric suddenly appears behind me.
 
“Gosh.. oh hey Cedric,” I smiled
 
“I probably stop to suprise you,” Cedric said
 
“That’s fine, it just me so concentrate in reading this book. So you’re enter the tournament?” I asked
 
“Yeah, wish me luck,” Cedric smiled and walked away. After that, Hermione smirked
 
“What?” I asked
 
“Nothing, just Cedric and you,” Hermione still smirking
 
“He just being friendly,” I said
 
“Yeah right,” Hermione rolled her eyes
 
“Eternal glory, be brilliant wouldn’t it? In three years from now we’ll be old enough to be choosen,” Ron said
 
“Yeah, well rather you than me,” said Harry
 
Suddenly the twins come up cheering
 
“Thank you thank you, well lads we’ve done it,” said George
 
“Just cooked it up just this morning,” said Fred
 
“It’s not going to work,” said Hermione
 
“What is that?” I asked
 
“Oh yeah? And why’s that Granger,” asked Fred
 
“You see this? this is an age line, Dumbledore drew it himself,” said Hermione
 
“So?” asked Fred
 
“So a genius like Dumbledore couldn’t possibly be folled by something pathetically dimwitted such as an age potion,” said Hermione
 
“I’m on Hermione in this case, that’s not a good idea,” I said
 
“That’s why it’s so brilliant,” said Fred
 
“That makes no sense,” I said
 
“Ready Fred?” asked George
 
“Ready George?” asked Fred
 
They jump inside the age line and cheer. They put their names in the flame and do a high five. The flame fires up and they’re flung across the room onto the floor. When they get up they have full heads of grey hair and beards.
 
“You said,” said George
 
“You said,” said Fred
 
They roll around fighting on the floor and the crowd cheer. The room suddenly becomes silent as Viktor Krum walks in and puts his name in the flame. He looks at Hermione and she smiles
 
“Hm.. hm..,” I cleared my throat
 
“What?” Hermione said
 
“Is there anything you forget to tell me?” I asked
 
“About what?” Hermione asked
 
“Don’t play with me Hermione, what’s going on between you and Victor?” I asked
 
“Nothing,” Hermione said
 
“Don’t lie to me, I know you’re lying,” I said
 
“Fine, we talk couple times in the library just that,” Hermione said
 
“So, studying is not the only reason you come to the library,” I smirked.
 
“Sit down please. And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the champions selection!” said Dumbledore
 
Dumbledore approaches the blue flame and it glows red. A name comes out. Everyone looks on anxiously.
 
“The Durmstrang champion is.. Viktor Krum!” said Dumbledore
 
The Durmstrang crowd cheer. Another name comes out.
 
“The champion from Beauxbatons.. Fleur Delacour,” said Dumbledore.
 
The Beauxbatons girls cheer as Fleur walks up. Another name comes out
 
“The Hogwarts champion.. Cedric Diggory,” said Dumbledore
 
Hogwarts pupils cheer as Cedric takes the stage
 
“Excellent! We now have our three champions! But in the end only one will go down in history. Only one will hoist this chalice of champions, this cessel of victory the triwizard cup!” said Dumbledore
 
 
People cheer, but the goblet glows red once more and another name flies out. Dumbledore takes it and reads..
 
“Harry Potter!” yelled Dumbledore
 
“What?” I said in shocked look at Harry that sits beside me. He’s in shocked too.
 
“Go on Harry, Harry for goodness shake,” said Hermione the only one who I think not in shocked and pushed Harry to walk to the front.
