SOB STORIES
A love of Nature
My nerves are completely taking over, its like I can't breathe. Who would have thought DADA could have this effect on me?
A sudden band sounds and professor Moody strides into the classroom. I knew what we would be learning about today...the unforgivables. Just the name of them seemed to give me the chills.
I watched as professor Moody started writing on the board whilst also telling Seamus, my dorm mate, off. Too soon for my liking, he began to demonstrate the first of the three curses. The imperious curse. I watched the spider grow and then obey the orders that Moody was giving it. It scared me to think that you could control people and animals with such a simple spell.
After the curse was lifted Moody asked me for the second curse. After what had happened to my parents I found it hard to use my voice and say the curse name to Moody. It upset me greatly to think that hundreds of people had suffered like my parents and left their kids orphans, like me. Lucky for me I had Gran, who took me in. Although she acts like she's disappointed that I haven't become as brave as my parents, I can still feel the love she gives me. One day I will make my parents proud. One day.
After my stutterings Moody placed the wretched cruciatus curse on the poor helpless spider. The creature tried to escape the pain which engulfed its whole body but it was just a failed attempt. Death would be better than the pain the spider had to go through. I knew better than to shout out at Moody to stop the curse.
However, my fellow classmate, Hermione, screamed for Moody to stop. I silently prayed to her. Hermione truly had a Gryffindors heart.. But Moody didn't seem pleased and so, without notice, cast the final and most deadly curse upon the poor spider. It was then that I knew it was dead.
After class, I left the room in a daze, not able to think properly. I didn't notice where I was going, but neither did i care. All i knew was that a little while later I was stood at a stain glass window. From what had happened I though I would never be able to look Moody in the eye again. (Author: Sorry, I really had to add that about the eye!! lol)
I was at the window for goodness knows how long. I stared at it. Although it didn't ease the pain I was going through, it made my head clearer.
It brought me out my sense's to realize that the trio were with me, comforting me. Something that seemed to foriegn to me. But i loved it.
