A King, A Flower, and an Angel 7

"Harry, Harry, Harry!" This was the first thing her heard until a pillow came crashing into his face interrupting his pleasant dreams.
'I'm going to kill Ron.' Harry thought darkly.
"Harry, its time to get up for breakfast before our first class." Said Ron before he hurried down stairs to the common room as he waited for Harry to get ready.
Harry grumbled at being woken up but ultimately followed doing his daily rituals for the day. Heading down to the great hall sat Hermione already eating. Ron and Harry slid into the seats across from her. The trio talked about random things while Hermione lectured them about their study habits and Ron about how he needed to eat a bit healthier. While Ron simply shrugged a little and continued to eat he was use to this being raised in a house primarily full of boys. Harry watched in amusement at his two friends.
Before they left Harry was pulled aside by Hermione she had in her hands a large book.
"Harry I know that you probably did not read or even look for a book so here." Hermione said while shoving a book into Harry's arms. "This book contains what most people know on veelas."
"Er... thanks Hermione, i'll be sure to read it later." Said Harry as he placed it with the other books he was carrying around in his school bag.
With the book from Hermione they both caught up to Ron who was waiting for them a little further down the hall.
Looking over his schedule he groaned inwardly at having both history and potions on the same day. Wanting to get this day over with he headed to history with his friends.
By the end Harry's day it went as well as he expected completely dulled out of his mind by history about goblin wars and having the greasy bat ridicule and belittle any Gryffindor and him especially. So with a huff Harry went to sleep eagerly anticipating for Fleur to arrive near the end of the month and his first class in DADA on Thursday.
Wednesday passed as he expected Charms was enjoyable but he was still glad when it ended. He liked learning from Mcgonagall but it was still a class he can't say he really enjoyed. The day ended back in the common room where Harry heard some of the other student talking about the DADA class. They were saying that it seemed like Mad-eye really knew what he was doing. He also enjoyed playing a few games of chess with Ron though he lost most of them. After several matches it was time to sleep.
DADA Class room
"Alastor Moody... Ex-Auror...Ministry malcontent... and your new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher." Moody introduced himself.
"I am here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story, goodbye, the end. Any questions?" Asked Moody. With his eye spinning around the room waiting for any questions.
"When it comes to the Dark Arts... ...I believe in a practical approach. Stated Moody.
"But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?" Asked Moody to the class
"Three Sir" Answered Hermione
"And they are so named" Asked Moody
"Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will.." Said Hermione as a lump developed in her throat.
"Will earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban, correct" Finished Moody as he wrote (Three unforgivable)
"The Ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do. I say different! Says Moody.
"You need to know what you're up against. You need to be prepared. You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk, Mr. Finnigan." Yelled Moody as he was writing on the chalkboard.
"No way. the old codger can see out the back of his head." whispered Finnigan
"And hear across classrooms." Yelled Moody as he threw a piece of chalk at him.
"Now which shell we see first?" Asked Moody the classroom.
Several hands rose up "You their Weasley." Pointed Moody,
"I've heard of one my father said …. the Imperious Curse." Stuttered Ron
"Yes yes gave the ministry quite a bit of trouble a while ago perhaps this will show you why." Said Moody before moving over to one of the jars on the table.
Moody reached in pulling out a large spider. "Engrogio" Cast Moody the spider in his hand became larger. "Imperio" Cast Moody on the spider. The spider then started to move around. Cartwheels and dancing then levitating the spider into the air he threw it at various students. Causing a quite a bit more laughter than their was already.
"Talented isn't she?" Said Moody what should I have her do next jump out a window?" Asked Moody, as he moved her over to the window at this the class room quieted down immediately.
"Down herself?" He asked again as the spider was hung over a pail of water.
Drawing the spider back to his hand he began speaking again.
"Many witches and Wizards have only done You-know-who's bidding under the Imperius Curse. But the problem is how do you sort out who's lying." Said Moody
"The Imperious Curse can be fought, later I will be teaching you how to do so. But better is to not get hit at all, Constant Vigilance." said Moody.
"Alright next curse, You boy what's your name?" Asked Moody as he pointed to Neville.
"Neville Longbottom Sir" Said Neville.
"And what curse do you have for us?" Asked Moody
Th.. Their is the Cruciatus Curse." Stuttered Neville
He gestured Neville up to the front with him overlooking the spider he then cast "Crucio." on it
The spider writhed in pain and screeched the class all had unpleasant looks the spell looked to not only affect the intended but all others as well as most of the students had to look away or looked as though they were going to be sick. Neville looked much worse than the others closing his eyes he tried block it out.
"Stop it! Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him!" Shouted Hermione
Moody stopped and gestured for Neville to sit down,
"Perhaps your can give us the last Curse Granger?" Asked Moody.
She nodded her head to that she could not.
"Avada Kedavra" Cast Moody at the spider.
"The Killing Curse the hardest to cast and the worst of the three. There has only ever been one person to survive and he is sitting in this room right now." Said Moody as he turned his attention to Harry
Harry was in turmoil he had just witnessed how his parents had died by one simple spell. That was all it took for Voldemort to kill his parents. Their lives sniffed out by simply pointing his wand at them and uttering those words.
The rest of class was in silence taking notes over the curses. When class was dismissed the student started talking about the class as if it was just a normal everyday thing. Harry Ron and Hermione went down the stairs to Neville staring at a mosaic glass window.
"Neville?" Spoke Harry trying to see if he was alright.
The sound of clanking was heard as coming down the stairs was Moody
"Come with me lad we'll have a cup of tea." Said Moody heading back to the classroom. After a few moment Neville followed.
This followed his routine for the rest of the month, get up, meet with friends, go to class there were was Hermione's birthday they had a small get together for. But overall it was uneventful nearing October Harry noticed two things one the bond was really starting to tug at him almost like a need now where he needed to Fleur and that he, even without the bond on his mind and emotions he did want to see Fleur it got on his mind often enough that he made a small calendar crossing out days till Beauxbatons arrived.
Harry was happy that the Hogwarts's rumour mill was not on him at the moment. This year was really looking up so far.
An: So I need ideas for the Imperious Test what should I make students do? Dance like a ballerina, act like cats, have same gender kiss (Hehe) or something else leave ideas and thanks for reading. Or should I simply stick to the cannon books, and Harry will finally stop his procrastination and read the dang book.
And Yes I know I practically took the scene out of the movie but to be honest it is my personal favorite scene. Over most if not all others and I tried to mesh it with the books a little.
