Ice cream
Moody turns to the board and writes
He turns back and stares directly in to your eyes.
You start to get an uneasy feeling and grip onto Harry’s arm without thinking.
Moody
And your next teacher of defense against the dark arts.
Moody
I am here because Dumbledore asked me.
Moody
End of story, goodbye, the end
A pause was held. You take a breath and try to relax but the uneasy feeling doesn’t go away.
Moody
When it comes to the dark arts I believe in a practical approach.
Moody
But first which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?
Hermione looks uneasy but she speaks anyway.
Hermione
Because they are unforgivable
Hermione
The use of any one of them will-
Moody
Will earn you a one way ticket to Azkabane, correct.
Moody
Now the Ministry says your to young to see what these curses do. but I say different!
Moody
You need to know what you are up against. You need to bee prepared.
Moody turns back to the board.
Moody
You need to some other place your to put your Chewing gum besides the underside of your desk Mr Finnigan.
The whole class turns to look at Seamus but you just continue to look a moody.
It’s feels like a predator and it’s prey. A concept you know all too well. It feels like if you take your eyes on him for one sec he is going to make his move.
You were so focused you did quiet catch what Seamus said
You finally snap out of your trance when Moody stands in front of your desk.
Moody
Miss. Norne give us a curse then.
Elodie
The Imperious curse
Moody walks over and picks up a spider.
He uses an enlarging jinx and then imperious curse.
You watch in horror as the spider flys around the room.
Moody
Scorns of witch’s and wizards have said they have only done you know who’s bidding under the influence of the imperious curse
Moody
Mr long bottom another
Neville
There is the Cruciatus curse sir
Moody waves Neville over to his desk and places the spider down. He slowly pulls his wand out and points it at the spider.
You hear the spider screaming in agony. You can feel her pain. The Cruciatus curse is not new to you. In fact you have experience it. To see an innocent experience such trauma was sickening to you
You stand up and face moody in the eye.
Hermione
Can’t you see it’s bothering him
You hear Hermione speak and it make you happy to know you friend is by your side
Moody stops the curse and turns to you.
Moody
Care to give us the last one Elodie?
Moody places the spider on the table.
Elodie
I most certainly will not
Moody points his wand at the spider.
You look down at the spider in horror before grabbing your bag and running out.
You run down the stairs and find a quiet corner underneath them. A few minutes go by and then Harry suddenly peeks his head in the small room under the stairs
You shake your head no and then curl in on your self even more.
Harry
Elodie it’s just a spider
Elodie
Just a spider that’s funny.
Elodie
She was a living creature an innocent who suffered great pain.
Elodie
You may be thinking I am being silly Harry but I know what those curses can do to a person. I have experienced them first hand. They tear a person apart. Drive them mad with pain.
The tears stream down you face
Harry kneels before you and grabs your hands.
Harry
I am sorry I didn’t know.
Elodie
I know, no need to apologize after all we barely know each other
You wipe your face with your sleeve.
Elodie
I need a little break want to come?
Elodie
Don’t worry I will talk to McGonagle later.
Harry helps you up and leads you out of the small room.
Harry
I know just the place
Harry leads you to a portrait of food just outside of the dinning hall. He knocks on the painting and someone opens it. A house elf opens the door and Harry walks in he leads you over to a table in the corner. He help you sit and then turns to a house elf
Harry
Would you mind getting us some ice cream please? My friend has had a hard day.
The elf nods and walks away
Harry sits down in front of you.
Elodie
So is this the kitchen
Harry
Yes but not a lot of people know about it
Harry
So keep it a secret. Only a few upper class man know about it.
Elodie
And how did you come by it?
Harry
My friend Oliver wood showed me after my first quidditch game.
Elodie
Yeah when I was little I would practice a lot but now I guess I train as I travel. The brooms are one of the best ways to travel in my opinion. It is just nice to feel the wind on your face
Harry
You going to try out this year
Harry
So why did you decide to transfer to Hogwarts?
Elodie
In all honesty the tournament.
Elodie
I wanted to liven my daily routine up and after I heard about the tournament I thought about giving school another shot
Elodie
I went here before a long time ago but certain circumstances forced me to leave.
Harry
Oh that’s a shame. It would have been nice to have meet you my first year.
Elodie
Yeah I feel the same.
The elf brings over the ice cream
You pick up a spoon and take a bit of ice cream. It immediately melts in your mouth and feels like all your worries go with it.
Elodie
This is just what I needed thank you Harry
Elodie
You know this might sound werid but something in me is telling me to trust you even though we have just meet.
Harry
I have the same feeling Elodie
You love the way he says your name.
Harry
You know you remind me of someone from when I was little
With the spoon still in your mouth you tilt your head
A blush forms on your cheek as you stair into those ocean blue eyes.
