Chapter 5-Mad-Eye Moody

Percy

I carefully watched the forest. We all switched where we patrolled at midnight. Annabeth walked over to me and called out to Neville, "Percy and I are going inside the forest. So Neville watch our backs, ya?"

Neville nodded hesitantly. I assured, "We trust someone strong like you to call out for help if we are in trouble."

"Thanks Perce."

It was nice to finally have a few moments with only Annabeth. We hooked our arms together and Annabeth rested her head on my shoulder. She whispered, "It's nice to be with you."

"Yeah." Suddenly a hiss surrounded us. Annabeth took our her drakon sword and I Riptide. I asked nervously, "What do you think it is?"

"I don't know."

I laughed, "Annabeth Chase not knowing!"

She punched me in the arm then she suddenly screamed and fell down. I followed her gaze to a prickly spider on its web, snarling its fangs dripping with poison. I jumped down to comfort Annabeth, who was rocking with her legs tucked underneath her chin.

I soothed, "Annabeth we are out of there. There is no reason to worry."

She gasped from the tears, "Percy, p-please don't l-leave me."

"No, I will never leave you, Annabeth. Don't worry."

I hugged her and rubbed circles on her neck with my thumb. Neville burst through the thicket and breathed heavily, "So you guys aren't...in danger?"

Annabeth smiled, "Yeah we're good."

I groggily made my way to breakfast, with Jason on my side. He yawned, "I can't believe the girls made us go on patrol. I am so tired. Why…"

"Ask Annabeth. She is the one who said so."

Leo jogged his way towards us and saluted, "What up my homies?"

Nico groaned, "I-I'ma so tired."

Will beamed brightly, "At least we have food now. It is a new day."

Jason groaned, "Are you always this happy?"

"I rise with the sun. It is in my nature."

We opened the doors and there was barely anyone there. Dots of people scurried around, talking, eating. I saw Harry and his friends starting to grow white when they saw us. Hmmm. Now you see I am not as smart as Annabeth so I needed so help.

I nudged the boys, "Why do you think Harry, Hermione, and Ron are looking at us weirdly?"

Leo shrugged and started drumming on his leg, "I don't know. Now, I am not as smart as Annabeth but they definitely know something we don't."

Nico slumped over, "I couldn't care less."

Jason asked, "Speaking of Annabeth, where are Hazel, Annabeth, and Piper?"

Will shook his head, "They already ate. They are at the library."

I slumped down and I asked Harry, "How's it going?"

Harry failed to cover up his surprise as he jumped and stuttered, "I-it's going well. How about you?"

"It's great."

I gobbled down mouthful of food before stopping for air. There were fluffy pancakes, steamy golden eggs, sizzling bacon, and savoring sausage.

Hermione pointed out, "Add some beans and tomatoes. Then you will have the traditional English Breakfast."

Ron nodded, "My mum makes me that on my birthday."

I shrugged and piled up some more food and beans. I ate a handful and I shot up. My eyes shook with so much power. I groaned, "Food. SO good. Food."

Nico shot daggers at Hermione, who recoiled in fear, "Look what you did. Percy is a food zombie."

Jason chuckled, "Percy was like that before-hand."

I muffled, "You know I can still hear you, right?"

Hazel

I sat down next to Piper and collected my papers. Suddenly a clang sounded through the halls. A shaggy man with a rolling eye and a wooden cane. He boomed, "I am your professor. Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Piper whispered, "His name is Moody."

"How do you know?"

Moody shook his jacket-covered body towards us, "Just because you are our guests doesn't mean you don't have to pay attention."

I covered my mouth. I have never been in trouble before. Professor Moody walked towards Ron and asked, "Weasley?"

He nodded hesitantly. "Your father helped me out a lot yesterday."

I saw Annabeth's half-brother Draco laugh and whisper to his friends. I honestly never me the kid so I don't know what to expect. He is sort of like Nico. He is two people. Greek and Roman.

Professor Moody yelled, "We will be learning about curses. Can any of you tell me one?"
Neville timidly raised his hand, "The Cruciatus curse."

Moody sighed, "Longbottom?" Neville nodded.

"Your parents were wonderful people. Now, we are going to see this curse in action." He gestured to a line of spiders in transparent glass jars. I looked out the corner of my eye and saw Percy and Annabeth holding to each other for dear life.

Hermione's hand shot up, "Isn't performing these curses illegal?"

"Yes. But my job is to teach you to defend yourself against the dark arts. In my point of view, the best way for that is to see them in action."

He raised his wand and shouted, "Crucio." A spider started withering in pain. Annabeth shrieked in surprise and buried her head in Percy.

Moody asked, "Can anyone name another curse?"
Ron stated, "Imperius curse."

Moody yelled, "Imperio." He raised his wand up and down and the spider followed every single move. The spider flipped around and landed on Ron's head. Draco smirked at Ron's girly scream. Moody shot the spider to Draco, "You think that's funny?"

Draco shook his head over and over in fear. "What is the last curse?"

Hermione hesitantly mumbled, "The Killing Curse."

Everything in the room became still. No one made a peep or a single noise. Moody pointed his wand to the last spider. It scurried and tried to climb away as if knowing its fate. "Avada Kedavra!"

The spider slowly moved its arms inward. It made no movement whatsoever as its eyes lost its glint of life. Neville grew white and started shivering and shrieking. Hermione yelled, "Stop! Can't you see it's bothering them?" She motioned to Neville and Annabeth who was crying in Percy's arms.

I glanced at Draco, who was looking at his sister in fear and worry. Moody huffed, "Fine. Class dismissed."

We all hurried out the door and we started asking questions.

"Annabeth are you alright?" "Man, that guy is insane." "What just happened?"
Nico yelled, "Everyone calm down." We all shut our mouths and looked at Nico.

"He is a teacher, right?" We all nodded. "Is he new?" Nodds.

"Then he is here to teach and possibly help Harry. Besides what I want to know is what happened to the other teachers. I heard there is a curse on the DADA spot."

Percy furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "What is DADA?"

Annabeth, recovered from that incident, hit Percy in the hand playfully, "Defense Against the Dark Arts, Seaweed Brain!"

"Ooooh." They laughed and I was glad that Tartarus didn't affect them that much. They would be okay.

Leo hummed. "Let's get to lunch. I'm starving!"

Harry

I hurried to the Gryffindor Common Room and saw Hermione and Ron waiting for me there, deep in conversation. I exclaimed, "Hagrid wants to meet me tonight at his hut. Something about the tournament."

Hermione responded, "That's great Harry! You need all the advantages you can get. You are up against kids way older than you."

Ron puffed his chest, "I believe Harry could win even without advantages."

I laughed, "Thanks Ron. So what were you guys talking about?"

Hermione sighed, "We were thinking that we were going to follow the Americans tonight. I noticed that they always leave their rooms at night."

Ron asked, "How do you know that?"

Hermione immediately turned as red as a tomato. I replied for her, "Probably studying books or the boys." Hermione yelled, "How dare you Harry!"

Hermione continued, "Anyway, Ron and I could follow the Americans, find out their plan, and catch them on whatever evil they are doing."

"I could join you if you want."

Ron shook his head, "No Harry. You should meet with Hagrid. It sounds important."

Hermione threw her hands up, "SO you DO pay attention Ron!"

"Hey!"

I laughed at their coupley antics and said, "Then it is settled. I will meet Hagrid. You follow the Americans. We should meet here at 5:00 AM."

Ron groaned, "That's so early!"

"Get used to it Ron!" huffed Hermione.

We started walking towards the bedrooms. "Bye Hermione. See you in the morning."

"Goodnight Harry, Ron."

Ron huffed, "Hermione is going to take over everything on our mission. Know-it-all."

"Ron, she should know that it is your mission too. But I will see you in the morning. Good night."

I covered the sheets over my head and gathered the bundle of my Invisibility Cloak underneath the covers with my wand in hand. I was ready to leave at any moment.

I hope you enjoyed that! I will work on this more, trust me.

Trivia: What are Harry's children's full names?
