Chapter Twenty Seven

What Would You Do

Professor Tifa Lockheart paced her office like a caged animal. She could not believe how immature and self serving her husband was. He was ruining her life and there was nothing she could do about it. If she wanted to live she had to keep quiet about his mental condition, about his location, their marriage, his… the bell signaling the start of class broke her train of thoughts. Walking out of her office she came face to face with her class.

"Morning class," Her voice shook slightly as she forced a smile. "Now who can tell me what chapter we are on?"

"Chapter twenty seven Professor, unforgivable curses."

"Correct, Mr. Malfoy, there are three unforgivable curses. The first being the Imperius Curse . Each of you will be feeling the spell today. Some of you will only feel it for a few minutes, that is if you fight it off yourself. If not you will be under it until you learn to beat it or I release you from it. You will be completely under my command, I can make you do anything I wish. Now is anyone going to volunteer or do we draw numbers?"

Everyone took three steps back.

"Well then I guess it's the numbers. Waving her wand she conjured a cloth sack with numbers one through eight.

"Take your number with out looking at it."

One by one they all stepped forward and took a number.

"Now who wants to make this interesting?" A few eyebrows raised in a why not

gesture "You will be taking it in pairs then. Person one and two will be together and so

on. Open your numbers."

Sounds of shock emitted from the room when they saw who they were to be with. Harry and Ron were first.

"Step forward boys," Harry and Ron stepped up with an amused and somewhat scared look on their faces. "On the count of three I will but you under, you will stay under until you fight it off or I see fit to give you a rest. One.. Two.. Three.. Imperio"

The boys eyes glazed over for a moment and stared at her blankly.

"Face the class," The both turned to look at the class. "Spin in a circle three times."

The boys did as they were told. Harry started to break through the spell and was fully aware of what was going on by her next command but he decided to play along.

"Face each other" Ron turned on command. Harry followed suit. Looking into his friends eyes he saw that he too had broken the spell. Harry blinked twice to let him know he saw it. Ron retuned the blinks in reply.

"Well let's try this then, kiss each other"

Ron stepped into Harry's arms and almost lost it when the class gasped. Harry returned the embrace and moved in for the kiss. A very deep and passionate kiss at that. The entire class was in shock, their mouths hanging open. It felt so good to kiss Ron in front of everyone even if they all thought they were still under the curse. Breaking the kiss Harry looks up shaking his head. Placing a look of confusion on his face. He looks first at the class with wide open mouths and then at Lockheart.

"What, you all look like you seen a specter."

Waving her wand she released Ron from the spell he had already broken and sent them back to the group.

"What happened, I don't remember."

"Not sure Ron but by the looks on their faces it must have been good." Smiling at each other they stepped to the back of the class to watch the show.

"Miss Weasley, Mr. Malfoy you next."

After seeing Ron and Harry, Ginny did not want to go up there but forced down the lump in her throat and did anyways. Draco seemed to think he was going to get to kiss her in front of the whole class and bounded up there like a new puppy greeting his master.

"Ready, One.. Two.. Three.. Imperio" Draco and Ginny's eyes glazed over looking to Lockheart for instruction.

"Mr. Malfoy sit in my chair," Draco did as he was told. "Miss Weasley stand in front of him," Ginny did as she was told. "Now walk around the chair quickly until I tell you to stop." Mr. Malfoy spin in the chair to watch her"

Ginny started to walk around the chair, Draco spun around again and again like a kid on too much sugar. After several minutes of this Draco got dizzy, falling off the chair. The room laughed at him sitting on the floor unable to get up. Waving her wand Lockheart released them from the spell sending them back to the group. Draco was rubbing his behind but Ginny thought it was his pride hurt the most. Good he deserves it she thought.

Blaize and Neville were next. Blaize was reduced to singing his alphabet while standing on one foot with both hands on his head, while Neville was trying to move Lockheart's desk with one hand. After several minutes she released them and sent them back to the group. Cho and Hermione where the last to go. She had Cho pretend to ride her broom around the room. Hermione's was much more embarrassing. After chasing Cho around the room for a while she was stopped to perform another task.

"Miss Granger, I want you to profess your love for.. lets see… how about Professor Snape."

Without batting an eyelash Hermione started to talk in a flat tone, "I love Professor Snape, he has a great body. That long crooked nose and pale skin drives me wild. That hair of his is so bloody sexy too. I bet he is the best in bed with his long.."

Lockheart waved her wand quickly pulling both girls out of the trance. Cho looked confused. Hermione was too but for a different reason.

"Why is everybody's mouth open? Nothing could have been as crazy as Harry and Ron. They snogged each other."

Harry and Ron looked at each other in shock, suppressing giggles.

"You sound as if you would do more then snog Snape" Draco drawled

Hermione got pink in the face "What do you mean?"

"I'm sure you will find out Mu…."

The bell rang just then washing out the rest of Draco's word but Hermione saw his mouth. He had called her a Mudblood and if she was not so worried about what she said about Severus she would have jinxed him right then and there.

"Class dismissed, next time we will go over the rest of the curses. Don't worry it won't be on you." The class rushed out for their next class. For most of them that meant potions with Snape.
