Y/n and the rest were now sitting in class with their new fake Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. She just couldn't help but stare at the disguised Death Eater in front of the class, she hated him for trying to put Harry in danger and for causing Cedric's death.
Right, Cedric's death, she can prevent that, she had to, she was given another chance for a reason and she cannot let it go to waste. Y/n was determined, of course she didn't want him to die, he was innocent for god's sake!
She was cut got of her daydream by a loud voice.
"Alastor Moody, ex-auror, ministry malcontent, and your new Defence Against the Dark Art teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me to. End of story. Goodbye. The end. Any questions?"
Y/n did her best not to roll her eyes but she could've sworn she caught the fake eye turned towards her and stared. She shook her head and tried to get that thought out of her head.
The room was silent as they all stared at him. When no one replied, he continued. "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?"
As usual, Hermione answered, "Three, sir."
"And they are so named?" He asked as he went to the board.
"Because they are unforgivable. If you used any one of them-"
"-you will earn a one way ticket to Askaban, correct?" He aggressively wrote on the chalkboard and turned towards the class. "Now, the ministry says you're too young to understand what these curses do, I say different!" Fake Moody basically shouted.
"You need to know what you're up against! You need to be prepared-" As Y/n knew what he was gonna say, it accidentally slipped out of her mouth.
"-you need to find yourself another place to put your chewing gum besides the other side of your desk, Mr Finnigan!" The girl and Moody said in sync and when she realized her mistake, she put her hand over her mouth.
Thankfully, the other student's attention went to Seamus who froze. But Moody heard it, as he turned towards the source of the voice with a bewildered expression of his face showing that he wasn't at all, expecting that. Y/n turned to Seamus, trying to blend in with the rest and not turning to Moody who was narrowing his eye at her.
The girl cursed under her breath for being so stupid. Not long before Seamus muttered, "Oh boy, the old codger can see at the back of his head."
At that Moody snapped out of his daze and turned to the said boy and threw the chalk at him. "And hear across classrooms!" He walked up and stopped at Harry and Ron's desk.
"So which curse shall we see first? WEASLEY!" Moody shouted while Ron filched and quickly said a 'yes'. "Stand!"
Ron slowly rose up from his seat. "Give us a curse." He said in a low voice. Ron seemed to be in thought before answering.
"W-well...my dad told me about one. The Imperious curse." Ron said quickly.
Moody started nodding, "Oh yeah, your father would know all about that." He then brought out a spider out of the jar.
Y/n hitched her breathe as Moody muttered, "Engrogio." The spider became larger.
"Imperio!" He cursed the spell at the spider and put it in front of Dean Thomas, who gasped in surprise. The spider then flew onto Crabbe's head which he covered while whimpering. The rest of the class was filled with laughter, except for Y/n.
The spider, then went over Ron's head who whimpered at the action while Moody was obviously enjoying it. Malfoy and the rest of his goons were laughing which caused Moody to turn towards them.
"What are you laughing at?" The spider went onto Draco's face and his expression was so hilarious that even Y/n couldn't help but laugh. Harry was also enjoying this and was clapping.
"Get it off! Get it off!" Malfoy screamed with a look of terror on his face.
But Moody continued laughing, "Talented, isn't she? What should I have her do next? Jump out the window? Drown herself?" The room went silent again. Moody brought the spider back on his hand.
"Witches and wizards claimed that they only do You-Know-Who's bidding under the influence of The Imperious curse, but here's the rub; how do we sort out the liars?" He asked creepily, his fake eye slowly turning to Y/n's side.
Most of the students slowly raised their hands. "Up, up, come on!" Then Neville hesitantly raised his hand.
"Longbottom, is it? Up." Neville rose up from his seat, slightly shaking. "Professor Sprout tells me that you have an aptitude for Herbology."
Neville stuttered, "T-t-t-there's t-the Cruciatus...curse."
"Correct, correct! Come, come!" Moody called Neville to step forward, in front of the table. "Particularly nasty, the torture curse." He pointed the wand at the poor spider. Y/n's eyes narrowed, unsure if she had to stop him right now or not.
"Crucio!"
The creature started screeching painfully and Neville started making uncomfortable faces and Y/n, even though she never really was a kind of student to stand up in class, decided to step it.
"STOP IT! Don't you see it's bothering him?! Stop it!" Hermione and Y/n shouted at the same time, making them look at each other in shock. Everyone's eyes turned towards the two girls. Moody snapped out of his gaze and cleared his throat.
He picked up the spider and walked towards Y/n's desk, sending chills down her spine. He stopped in front of her and stared for a good few seconds before speaking, "Would you give us the last curse, Miss Jewell?" It felt like he was mocking the last name but she shook the feeling off.
She made eye contact with Harry before turning back to Moody and slowly shook her head as a no.
"No? Well then...AVADA KEDAVRA!" The spider now laid on the table, dead.
Y/n was frozen in place, just like Harry, her heartbeat becoming faster and faster as she heard those two words, like how she got here in the first place.
"The Killing curse," His voice was now much softer, "and only one person is known to survive it." Moody's gaze slowly turned towards Harry. "And he's sitting in this room."
'Not anymore, I guess.'
