Chapter 8: Mad Eye Moody
Haru, Hermione and Ron had just arrived in the great hall through a portal, which shocked many first years who had arrived before them.
"What was that!" yelled a first year Slytherin.
"We told you." Said 5th year, "Harry Potter is not only mad but also has the ability to create portals."
"I thought you were kidding!" said the first year.
They took their seats and Haru began to eat breakfast, while Ron and Hermione ate their breakfast while making sure Haru didn't steal any of their food.
Soon enough they got their timetables.
"Yes, first day and I have a free period." Said Haru.
"Well you're lucky." Mumbled Ron.
The first class of the day was Herbology, nothing much happened in that class.
However the next class was Care of Magical Creatures.
Hagrid was showing them a new animal he created.
Called the Blast Ended Skrewts…. Which resembled deformed shell-less lobsters. The males had stingers while the females had suckers on their bodies. They also shot sparks from their behind that propelled them a few inches.
"I've never heard of such a thing." Said Hermione.
"Hagrid, did you breed things yourself?" asked Haru.
"Hagrid didn't answer that question.
"Hagrid that is illegal." Muttered Hermione.
"I have special permission to breed them." He admitted.
There was an awkward silence and they decided not to ask what used to breed them, it would have been weird.
Soon enough it was time for Haru's free period.
He just laid on the lawn of the deck bored.
"You okay?" asked Chopper.
"I'm fine." Said Haru, "Just so bored."
That was when Fred and George climbed aboard.
"What are you doing here?" asked Haru.
"Just here to talk to Nami." Said Fred.
"I've been expecting them." Said Nami.
The three went into the library to talk about something.
"I wonder what's that about." Said Chopper.
"Don't ask me…" said Haru.
Both of them got a chill.
"A debt is involves." Said Haru.
"I don't think they owe her though." Said Chopper.
"I'm not going to bother with that." Said Haru, "I'm just going to relax."
Inside the ship, Nami was having a conversation with the twins.
"So I bought out the debt." Said Nami.
"The goblins actually allowed that?" asked George.
"They did… when I told my plans if he doesn't pay them off." Said Nami, "I think they might have a respect for me now."
"Well you are that greedy." Said Fred.
Nami glared at Fred.
"Now…" said Nami, "Should I buy you out or do you want to help me?"
The twins looked at teach other.
"Help." Both said in unison.
"Good." Said Nami with an evil smirk.
Soon enough the free period was over and Haru met with Ron and Hermione.
"What's wrong Ron?" asked Haru.
"Trelawney gave me more homework because I said a mark involving Lavender and the planet Uranus." Muttered Ron.
Hermione whacked him in the head.
That was when they noticed Draco with his cronies.
"Hey Weasley!" said Draco.
"Just ignore him." Said Hermione.
However, Ron didn't listen.
"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Ron.
"I was wondering if you read the article about your father." Said Draco.
"What article?" asked Ron.
Draco tossed him over a copy of the daily prophet. Ron read it and unconsciously went into his hybrid form.
The article was about something that happened with Pro. Moody and his father who was identified as "Arnold Weasley" instead of Arthur.
"Why you!" yelled Ron.
The fight almost elected when Draco made a comment about Ron's mom.
"I bet your mom is a snide birch because she has to be with you and your father." Said Haru.
"Haru!" said Hermione.
Ron just shrugged returning to normal.
The three left realizing there was no way top that.
However Draco was about to curse Haru when Pro. Moody suddenly showed up and turned Draco into a white ferret. He began to bounce him around.
However Pro. McGonagall saw this and began to scold Pro. Moody saying that they don't punish students like that.
As the three walked away however.
"Can you two please be silent for a moment." Said Haru.
"Why?" asked Hermione.
"I'm trying to keep the image of Malfoy the Amazing Bouncing Ferret in my head!" said Haru.
They all fell over laughing.
That night while trying to do homework, Fred, George and Lee came up to them.
"You are going to love Defense Against the Dark Arts!" said Fred.
"Why what happens?" asked Haru.
"Our class is Thursday." Pointed out Ron.
"Well you are fourth years. So we'll tell you'll just have to see." Said Lee.
Soon enough Thursday came.
"All right!" said Pro. Moody, "I know I'm not supposed to show you these until you reach 6th year but how else are going to protect yourself."
He took out three spiders. Ron's eyes winded when he did that.
"Don't worry it will be fine." Said Haru.
"First I will be showing the you the Imperius Curse." Explained Pro. Moody.
He used the curse on the spider, said spider began to tap dance rather comically causing most of the students laugh.
"Funny eh." Said Pro. Moody, "Not so funny when you're forced to jump off a bridge or kill your family."
The class stopped laughing and became horrified.
He put that spider away and brought in a second one. He used an enraging spell to make it larger. He pointed his wand and said "Crucio."
The spider began to spasm in pain making horrible clicking sounds.
Neville turned pale and began to shake, and Haru knew why. He and the other kids of the crew learned about what happened t his parent that required Chopper's surgery. Since Neville was sitting next to Haru, he gave him his hand.
"It will be fine." He said.
Neville nodded.
"Professor." Said Hermione.
That was when Pro. Moody noticed that Neville was pale and shaking and so he stopped.
"This is the Cruciatus I believe you all know what it does by this point. It's a curse that causes mind numbly horrible pain." Explained Pro. Moody, "There is nothing else to it. Just pain."
That was when he took out the last spider.
"Avada Kedavra!" he called out, a jet of green light his the spider, it stopped moving.
It was dead.
"Can anyone of you tell me what this curse was?" asked Pro. Moody.
"The killing curse." Said Haru.
"5 point to Mr. Monkey." Said Pro. Moody, "All of these curses are known as the unforgivable, it is illegal under to use these on humans."
Class continued on normally and when it was over Haru and Neville talked.
"I know how you feel." Said Haru, "I'm sure my parents died that way too."
"I know I should feel this way anymore." Said Neville.
"Everything's fine. I have my parents and you have yours everything worked out." Said Haru.
Neville smiled and ndded.
That night in the common room, Neville and Ron were working on their Divination homework… AKA: Lying about predictions.
"I don't know if I want to take it next year or not." Said Hina watching them.
"Don't." said Ginny who decided to take the same class due to the Easy O.
That was when Hermione came in with a box filled with badges.
"Hermione, what are you doing?" asked Haru.
"I have decided to form my own group." Said Hermione.
Haru picked up one of the badges.
"Spew?" asked Haru, "Is a club about vomiting or food poisoning or something."
"No!" said Hermione, "And it's not Spew, it's the Society to Promote Elfish Welfare."
They all stared at Hermione.
"Look… Hermione. I know that slavery is bad but I've met House Elves many times all but Dobby and Winky are happy." Said Haru, "They are happy to give me meat all the time."
Hermione just stared at Haru.
"Hina, Haru I talked to your mother and you are now my sectaries." Said Herminie.
"What?" asked Haru.
"Come on!" yelled Hina, "You have to be kidding me!"
"I am not." Said Hermione.
(Flashback)
Hermione was talking with Hancock about her plan.
"That is a wonderful idea Hermione." Said Hancock, "Haru and Hina will join. In fact they can be your secretaries."
"Thank you so much." Said Hermione.
Ron began to laugh hysterically, it was as if he knew if Hina wasn't there he would be the secretary in her place.
"Stop laughing right now!" yelled Hina glaring at Ron.
Kaien was starring at the badges.
"I have a better name." Suggested Kaien, "How about Society to Help Elves Live Freely it has a better acronym."
Hermione began to think about it, then realized something.
"SHELF?" asked Hermione.
"Wait… doesn't that spell shelf." Said Maya.
"Like I said it's better than Spew." Said Kaien.
"We will only become your sectaries if you change the name to Shelf." Said Hina.
"What?" asked Haru.
"You know her…" said Hina, "She's extremely stubborn and not the type to handle violence very well."
Haru blinked at that line.
"Fine… but I'll age with Kaien joins as well and is change of changing all of the badges." Said Hermione.
"Fine…" said Kaien with a heavy sigh.
"Plus I can use you to recruit first years." Said Hermione.
"Can you not say that in front of me." Said Kaien.
Haru sighed… this was going to be an interesting year… though the part about being signed up into a group without his permission was going to be extremely annoying…
