The next morning Buffy, Harry, Ron, and Hermione checked the schedule to see what they had today as they walked to breakfast. They had Herbology with Hufflepuff and Care of magical Creatures with Slytherin.

"Hopefully Malfoy will be smart enough not to anger the creatures this year. I don't know if I'll have the energy to save him this year." Buffy said causing the others to chuckle.

"After lunch we have double Divinations. I wonder what Professor Trelwaney will predict for us this year." Harry said as they entered the Great Hall.

"You should have given it up like I did." Hermione told them.

They all filled their plates up and began eating. Half way through breakfast hundred of owls came flying in dropping the morning mail. Harry and Buffy got four letters each. Buffy put her in her pocket to read later. Harry did the same thing and they both finished their breakfast. When Buffy was done eating, she got up and made her way over to where Cedric was sitting at the Hufflepuff table.

"Hey I just wanted to see you before heading to class. Want to meet up in the library after dinner?"

"Sure, I wanted to get your opinion on something anyway."

"I have a feeling I know what is. I'll see you after lessons." Buffy gave him a quick kiss and hurried off to catch up with her friends to go to Herbology.


Herbology had gone well and now they were in Care of Magical Creatures. The Gryffindors had all arrived and there were all waiting for the Slytherins. A small explosion drew the Gryffindors to the nearby crates.

"Ugh, what are those?" Lavender asked.

They all looked in to the box to see these ugly, pale, slimy looking creatures, with legs sticking out in all sort of different places. It made it hard to tell where their heads were at.

"They smell like rotten fish." Dean commented while holding his nose.

"Blast-Ended Skrewts. On'y jus hatched. So yeh'll be able to raise them yerselves."

"And why would we want to do that?" Malfoy asked.

"Oh joy, the Slytherin is here." Buffy mumble loud enough that only those who were right next to her could hear.

"I mean, what do they do? What is the point of them?"

"Yeh'll find that out next lesson. Today we're jus' feeding them. Not sure what they eat, I got ant eggs, frog livers, and a bit of grass snake. Try em out with a bit of each."

Harry, Buffy, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other before selecting one of three items. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all chose the frog liver and Buffy chose the grass snake. Carefully they put the food in the crate making sure not to get too close. Everyone turned when Dean Thomas cried out and held up his hand. His hand had been burned by a blast from the Skrewts. By the end of class everyone was more than ready to leave the Skrewts alone.


By the time Divination was over Buffy felt drained. Both Harry and Ron had shaken her several times to wake her up. Then at the end of the class, Trelawney had given them enough homework to keep her busy for most of the week if not the weekend. The trio headed down to the Great Hall for dinner. When they reached the main hall they were met with a line of students waiting to get in.

"Over here." Hermione called to them.

Harry, Buffy, and Ron joined her in line. They were all talking to each other when Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle approached.

"You must be so proud Weasley."

"What are you talking about Malfoy?" Ron asked.

"You mean you haven't seen it. Your father's in the evening edition."

Malfoy began to read loudly. The hall quieted as students wanted to know what was going on.

"Imagine them not getting his name right. It's almost as though he's completely nonentity. There's even a picture of him with your mother standing in front of that monstrosity of a house, and your mother looks like she could lose weight."

"I wouldn't talk if I were you Malfoy. Your father walks around with hair so long the first time I saw him I thought he was a woman."

The students broke into laughter at Buffy's comment. Malfoy's face became a light shade of pink. He reached in his pocket and pulled out his wand and shot off a spell toward Buffy and the others. Acting on instinct Buffy threw up her hands while muttering a spell. Malfoy's spell bounced harmlessly off the shield she had erected with her wandless magic. At the same time as that was happening, Malfoy was being hit by a spell from a different direction.

"OH NO YOU DON'T LADDIE!"

Everyone in the main hall turned to see Professor Moody with his wand out. Then they all turned back around when they heard a screeching sound. What they saw made them break out into laughter. Where Malfoy once stood, there was now a white ferret. He was scurrying around the floor until he saw Moody. Then he scurried up Goyle's pants leg.

"Did it hit you?" He asked Buffy.

"No, the spell I used deflected it and it hit the wall."

Everyone laughed as Goyle began to wiggle trying to get the ferret out of his clothes. Ferret Malfoy made his way to the top of Goyle's shirt. Goyle reached up to get Malfoy. Malfoy bit him and Goyle dropped him. Everyone laughed as the ferret bounced. Moody used his wand to bring Malfoy back.

"Professor Moody!" McGonagall came down the stair case.

"Hello Professor McGonagall."

"What are you doing?"

"We were playing follow the bouncing ferret. Would you like a go?" Moody asked straight faced.

"Where did this ferret come from?" No one spoke but Moody had a slight grin on his face. "Is that a student?"

"Yep."

"It's Malfoy." Buffy quickly explained what happened.

McGonagall listened and looked at ferret Malfoy and then sternly at Moody. She took ferret Malfoy and placed him on the floor. Taking out her wand, she pointed it at Malfoy and soon he was back to being human. Laughter rang out as everyone saw the embarrassing blush forming.

"Everyone inside."

The line began moving again though slowly as everyone was trying to hear what McGonagall was saying to Moody and Malfoy. Finally Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Buffy were in the Great Hall. They moved quickly to take their seats.


After Buffy had finished dinner she told Harry she was headed to the library to meet up with Cedric and to start her Divinations homework. Cedric met up with her just outside the Great Hall and the two walked hand and hand to the library. They went to their spot which was empty since just about everyone in the school knew that this was their spot. Buffy and Cedric took a seat on the couch.

"You want to submit your name for the tournament, don't you?" Buffy asked before he could speak.

"Yes, I want to do this. This is an opportunity of a life time. I think I have a good chance of winning if I get picked."

"You also have a good chance of dying if you get picked. Didn't you hear Dumbledore? They stopped having this tournament because the death toll was getting too high. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you."

"Dumbledore also said that they are taking every precaution they can to ensure that no one dies, and dying is the last thing I want to happen. If I don't try I'll always wonder if I could have done it."

"I know you would. I'll admit I don't want you to enter. In fact I'm against this whole tournament, but if you want to enter that's your choice. I won't try and stop you, and if you're chosen I'll be there to support you."

"Thank you." Cedric said kissing her gently on the lips. Buffy responded and soon her homework was forgotten as they were soon in a make out session.


Two days later it was finally fourth year Gryffindor's turn to have Moody's DADA class. They had all finished their lunch early so they could stand outside the classroom door. When the bell rang they all entered taking their seats anxiously awaiting Moody's arrival. Buffy sat with Ron while Hermione sat with Harry. The door opened several minutes later and Moody came in. Everyone watched him very closely as he made his way to the front of the classroom.

"You won't need those books. Put them away." Everyone hurried to do what he had asked.

Taking out a scroll Moody began to call roll. Most everyone answered with a frightened here.

"I've been told that you've covered dark creatures quite thoroughly, but you are lacking in dealing with curses. I've got one year to teach you how to deal with curses. Now let's get into it. Curses come in many forms and strengths. The Magic of Ministry wants me to teach you counter curses and leave it at that. I'm not supposed to show you the illegal curses until you're a six year, but Dumbledore has a higher opinion of your nerves. He says that you can cope which I agree because the sooner you know the better. Now as Miss Potter can attest to on the events that happened a few days ago, a wizard will not give fair warning or tell you about what spell he is about to perform. Am I correct Miss Potter?"

"Yes Professor." Buffy answered quickly.

"Did Mr. Malfoy tell you what spell he was performing?"

"No sir."

"You will need to be prepared, be alert, and be watchful. You need to put that away Miss Brown during my class or you will find you'll be doing it over."

Everyone turned to look at Lavender who had been showing Parvati her Divination's homework underneath the desk. Lavender blushed and quickly put the homework away not wishing to have to do it over.

"Which curses are the one that are most heavily punished by wizarding law?" Moody asked.

Several hands shot into the air. Both Buffy and Hermione knew which curses he was talking about. Harry and Ron also had their hands up.

"Mr. Weasley."

"My father told me about one…it's called the Imperius Curse or something like that."

"Yes the Imperius Curse is one. That one gave the Ministry a lot of trouble at one time. Can anyone tell me what the Imperius Curse does?"

This time only Hermione and Buffy's hand were in the air. Moody pointed at Hermione before turning to retrieve a jar with spiders in it.

"The Imperius Curse takes away your free will. You have to do the bidding of whatever the caster wants."

"That's correct Miss Granger. Everyone watch closely. Imperio!"

Everyone watched as the spider began dancing around and doing flips and other things that Moody told it to do.

"I could make this spider jump out a window, drown itself, or throw itself down one of your throats." Those around him noticed Ron shuddered. "Many years ago this curse was used a lot. I will teach you how to fight the curse though some of you will not be able to so it is best to avoid getting hit by it. Now, who can name another illegal curse?"

Once again Hermione and Buffy's hands went up. To the surprise of a few people Neville's hand went shakily into the air.

"Mr. Longbottom." He said as he selected another spider.

"The Cruciatus Curse. It brings intense pain to the person who it is cast upon. A pain so intense that if it's left on long enough can drive a person insane."

"Very good Mr. Longbottom. Now for you to get the full affect I need to enlarge our little friend. Engorgio!"

The spider grew about four times its normal size and Ron took several deep breathes to calm himself.

"Crucio!"

The spider's movements were wild as it twitched all around and the longer the spell was on the more it twitched. Everyone was sure the spider would have been screaming if it could.

"Stop!" Hermione yelled.

Everyone turned to look at Hermione to see that she was looking at Neville. Neville had a horrified look on his face and he was clutching the table so hard that his knuckles were turning white. Moody ended the curse and shrunk the spider back to its normal size. He replaced it and pulled out the third spider.

"Are there any others?" Buffy and Hermione raised their hand. "Miss Potter."

"The Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra."

"That is correct. Avada Kedavra!"

A green light shot blindingly out of the wand and hit the spider. The spider rolled onto its back and died. Moody swept the spider off the table and looked at his students.

"Not pleasant I know. There's no counter-curse. There's no blocking it, and there are only two known survivors and they are sitting right in front of me."

Harry and Buffy tried to squirm under everyone's gaze.

"This curse needs a lot of power behind it. You all could take out your wands right now and say Avada Kedavra and would even get a spark. Now the Imperius, the Cruciatus, and Avada Kedavra are called The Unforgivable Curses. Using them on any human is enough to earn you a life sentence in Azkaban."

The rest of class went on with them taking notes. After class it was time for dinner and then Buffy was heading to the library to finish her Divination's homework.
