A/N: Okay, so I wasn't really sure what to do for this because the rule itself explains the story so much. And I'm...sorry not sorry that Harry's such a pansy in this chapter...I just couldn't not do this. The urge was too strong.
Request from Cat of Flames: #106: If asked in class what the Avada Kedavra curse does, yelling "It Does DEATH!" may be correct but it is not the manner in which one should answer.

Today in Charms, we're learning about the Unforgiveable Curses. Lovely. I hate learning about things I'm not allowed to use. Even though I'm known for rule breaking (actually its more like messing around and forcing the professors to do some rule making), I'm not stupid and I'd never use these three curses (though sometimes I'd like to…).
I wasn't paying much attention, until Flitwick called on me. "Ms. Jones, what does the Avada Kedavra curse do?"
Hoping to seem alert, I call out, "It does death." Only I call a bit louder than I intended and it comes out more like, "IT DOES DEATH!"
Flitwick is not amused, though most of the class is. I say 'most of' because a Mr. Harry Potter's got his face wrenched up and Hermione pats his shoulder and he just starts bawling. Unfortunately, he begins to cry right after I whisper to Lee, "Here come the waterworks," again, louder than I meant to. Cue the punishment.
"Ten points from Gryffindor, Jones, for answering in such an inappropriate manner, albeit correct." Louder sobs. "And fifteen for my condolences, poor boy."
"Eh, could have been worse." I whisper, this time successfully, to my friend. He just shakes his head.
