"Mr McGinnis, what is wrong with you? You used to be the one of the best performers in the class, and now you're daydreaming in my class? Come on!" Professor Moody's words directed at my heart. "Yes, professor." Even though i had given words of encouragement to Harry, that didn't mean that i had get used to the taunting and embarrassment. Also, i still had to figure out what the first task of the tournament was.
"Connor Kent, come up to the front, you and Adam McGinnis will be doing a simple demonstration of a few spells. Today we will be learning one of the 3 unforgivable curses: The Cruciatus curse. Connor, I want you perform the curse on Adam." The expressions, as i had saw in the corner of my eye, had turned from jolly, carefree ones to the ones of anything negative that you could imagine: Disgust, horror, shock etc.
"Crucio!" Professor moody wrote down the name of the curse on the board. "The curse itself is very dangerous, as it will inflict unbearable pain on the victim. But today, i have got a strong willed Adam here to demonstrate how to resist the curse. Now, Connor, just use the curse on Adam, and we will see how a strong willed person will react to the curse."
My eyes locked into Connor's. Scared. Fearful. Worried. "Crucio!" "Gahh! Gahh! ARGHH!" The pain was so intense, I dropped to the ground. Looking up, i saw Hermione clamping her mouth shut in horror. The pain was worse than letting a thousand boring hot knives pierce through your skin. Banging sounds on the floor were created by none other than me, as i rolled like a helpless animal on the floor. Connor , by the corner of my i, i could see him froze at seeing me. "Adam! ADAM!" His voice entered every ear, as professor Moody gestured for him to shut up.
