Here's Chapter Six. :)

The next morning arrived and after a quick breakfast Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Melissa walked to their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Professor Moody. Harry shared a desk up front with Ron while Melissa shared a desk with Hermione up front as well. Just then the students jumped as the door opened and Mad-Eye Moody limped in.

"Alastor Moody," Moody said as he wrote his name on the blackboard. He then turned to the class and spoke. "Ministry malcontent. And your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I'm hear because Dumbledore asked me end of story, goodbye, the end. Any questions," he asked the students as his magical eye looked around at the students. They shook their heads and he continued.

"When it comes to the Dark Arts, I believe in a practical approach," Moody told them. "But first, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?"

"Three sir," Hermione said in a shaky voice.

"And they are so named," Moody said as he wrote on the blackboard.

"Because they are unforgivable," Hermione said. "Use of any one of them will," she started to say but Moody finished.

"Will earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban," Moody said. "Correct. Now the Ministry says that you're too young to see what these curses do. I say different! You need to know what you're up against, you need to be prepared, you need to find somewhere else to put your chewing gum other than the underside of your desk Mr. Finnigan," Moody yelled as he continued to write on the blackboard.

Everyone spun around in their chairs and stared at Seamus.

"No way," Seamus said in disbelief. "He can see out the back of his head."

Moody spun around and threw the chalk that he was holding at Seamus. The students jumped in surprise when he threw it.

"So which curse should we see first," Moody asked the students. "Weasley," Moody suddenly yelled making Ron jump and turn white as a ghost.

"Yes," Ron said in a terrified voice.

"Give us a curse," Moody said as he stood in front of him.

"Well, my dad did tell me about one," he said his voice cracking the entire time. "The Imperious curse."

"Ah yes, you're father would know all about that," Moody said. "Gave the Ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago. Perhaps this will show you why."

Harry glanced at his sister who looked at him with a terrified look on her face. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know what was coming next. They turned back to Moody and saw him approach his desk. He removed the lid off of a glass jar of spiders and took one out. Ron who was terrified of spiders sunk in his chair. Moody turned to face the class and he pointed his wand at the spider.

"Engorgio," Moody said. After he cast the spell the spider grew about three times it's normal size. "Imperio," Moody said as he flung the spider at Ron with his wand. It landed on top of Ron's head and he started panicking. "Don't worry. Completely harmless," Moody said as he flung his wand again and the spider landed on a girl's arm and started crawling up it. "But if she bites she's lethal," Moody said.

Draco started laughing and Moody spun around and faced him. "What are you laughing at," Moody asked as he flung the spider to Draco and it landed on his face. "Talented isn't she," Moody asked as the students started laughing. "What shall I have her do next," Moody asked them with a smile on his face. "Jump out the window," Moody asked as he flung the spider towards the window and was floating over the edge. The students immediately stopped laughing and became even more terrified than they already were. "Drown herself," Moody asked them in a quieter voice as he held the spider over a bucket of water.

Moody brought the spider back over to him and it landed in his hand. He looked up at the students and spoke again.

"Scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did You-Know-Who's bidding under the influence of the Imperious Curse. But here's the rub, how do we sort out the liars," Moody asked as his magical eye looked around the room. "So how about another curse? Can anyone else name one?"

Everyone was silent. They weren't sure if they wanted to see anymore unforgivable curses after that last one. Moody walked up to where Neville was sitting and he spoke.

"Longbottom right," Moody asked him. Neville nods but keeps his head down.

"Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for Herbology," Moody said. Again Neville just nodded. "Stand up and tell me another curse."

Neville got to his feet and spoke in a terrified voice.

"There's the um...Cruciatus Curse," Neville said trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Correct," Moody said as he made his way back over to his desk. "Come here," he told Neville and he obeyed. "This one is particularly nasty. The torture curse."

Moody put the spider on his desk and he pointed his wand at it. "Crucio," Moody shouted. The moment he did the spider squeals and it starts twitching. Neville's face turns as white as a ghost and he turns his head away from the spider. Hermione notices that the spell is bothering Neville and she speaks up.

"Stop it," Hermione yells at Moody. "Can't you see it's bothering him?! Stop it!"

Moody stops torturing the spider and he turns to Neville and sees that Hermione was right. His eyes were closed and he was pale. He picked up the spider and he walked over to Hermione and sat it on her books.

"Perhaps you could give us the last unforgivable curse Miss Granger," Moody said. Hermione shook her head and she looked away from the spider. "Very well," Moody said. He pointed his wand at the spider and said the curse. "Avada Kedavra," a green flash of light shot out of the end of Moody's wand and instantly killed the spider.

It was Harry and Melissa's turn to go as white as a ghost. They saw that same green flash of light in their dreams almost every night.

"The killing curse," Moody said in a quiet voice as he walked to stand in between the desks that Harry and Melissa were sitting in. "There are only two people that have been known to survive that curse. And they happen to be sitting in this very room," Moody finished as he looked from Harry to Melissa. He then took a long drink from his hip flask and walked back over to his desk.

An hour later the class ended and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Melissa quickly grabbed their things and headed out of the room.

"He's bloody brilliant isn't he," Ron said as they walked down the Grand Staircase. "I mean he's completely demented and terrifying to be in the same room with, but he's brilliant."

"Oh yeah he's brilliant all right," Harry said with sarcasm in his voice. "I'd love to see the killing curse again."

"Oh I'm sorry I forgot," Ron said in a quieter voice.

"Don't worry about it," Harry told his friends. He then turned to his sister and saw that she was still pale and a bit shaken from the lesson. "Are you going to be alright?"

"Huh," Melissa said as she turned to her brother. "Oh yeah I'll be fine don't worry."

"I can't believe he showed us those curses," Hermione said. "I wonder if Dumbledore knew that he did that. I'm almost certain that he wouldn't have allow Moody to show us those curses. I mean the way that it affected you guys and Neville," Hermione started to say but Harry placed a hand on her shoulder when they saw Neville standing on the stairs and looking out a window.

Hermione walked up to him and she spoke in a quite voice. "Neville? Neville are you alright?"

Neville didn't answer her. He continued to stare out the window. Just then they heard the sound of Moody's metal leg coming down the stairs. He placed a hand on Neville's shoulder and spoke.

"You alright," Moody asked him.

Neville didn't answer he just nodded.

"Come on we'll have a cup of tea," Moody told him. "I've got something I want to show you."

Neville followed him up the stairs and Harry and the others headed down.

After their classes ended for the day Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed down to the room where the Goblet of Fire was held. They wanted to see people put their names in the fire. Melissa wanted to check it out to but she decided that she had better get a head start on her Ancient Ruins homework. She said goodbye to her brother and friends and she headed up to the Common Room.

Once she walked into the Common Room she sat in the middle of the long red couch by the fire and she took out her book titled Ancient Ruins Made Easy and she began to work. She wanted to kick herself for taking Hermione's advice to join the class after she had dropped out of Divination. Melissa had refused to sit through another one of Professor Trelawney's classes and listen to her predict danger in her future as well as her brother's.

But Melissa was soon interrupted by Fred and George who had just ran down to the Common Room from their dormitory. Fred sat down on Melissa's right while George sat on her left.

"Hey what are you up to," Fred asked his friend.

"Ancient Ruins homework," Melissa told him. "And why are you two so excited?"

"We are about to put our names in the Goblet of Fire," George told her.

"What," Melissa asked her boyfriend. "But you two aren't seventeen? Remember what Dumbledore and Mr. Crouch said?"

"Ah yes but we've come up with a plan that cannot fail," Fred told her.

"You've got to come down and see it," George said as he got to his feet and pulled Melissa to hers.

"Alright I'll go," Melissa said with a chuckle.

"Great," Fred said as the three of them headed to the portrait hole.

George grabbed Melissa's hand and the three rushed down the stairs to the room where the Goblet of Fire was being held. Melissa saw them both take out small tubes with some kind of a liquid in them. Once they entered the room the twins cheered and everyone in the room clapped. Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned in their directions and saw Fred, George, and Melissa running up to them.

"Thank you everyone," George said with a bow. "We've done it!"

Melissa laughed and she sat down on the bleachers next to Hermione.

"Cooked it up just this morning," Fred said showing everyone a small tube.

"Cooked what up," Harry asked.

"An aging potion of course," George said.

"It's not going to work," Hermione said in a singsong voice.

"Oh yeah," Fred said sitting on Hermione's left while George sat next to Melissa.

"And why's that Granger," George asked her.

"Do you see this," Hermione asked the twins as she pointed to the white misty ring around the Goblet of Fire. "This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself."

"So," Fred said.

"Yeah so," George said.

"So," Hermione said as she shut the book that she was reading. "A genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by something pathetically dimwitted such as an aging potion."

"Ah but that's why our plan is so brilliant," George told her as he got to his feet.

"Because he's so pathetically dimwitted," Fred said as he got to his feet to.

"Ready Fred," George asked his brother as he shook up his potion.

"Ready George," Fred said shaking up his potion as well.

"Bottoms up," Fred and George said in unison.

The two drank the potion in one gulp and they jumped inside the age line. Melissa covered her eyes waiting for something to happen but nothing did. She opened them when she heard cheering. Fred and George ran around the age line giving students high fives. They walked up to the Goblet of Fire and they threw their names in it. Again nothing happen and the twins gave each other a high five and the students cheered.

"I can't believe it actually worked," Harry said as he walked over to his sister.

But just as he said that the fire grew and it blasted the twins out of the age line and they flew backwards and landed on the ground with a hard thud. Melissa got to her feet at once and rushed over to her boyfriend and best friend to see if they were alright. She was joined by her brother, Ron, Hermione, and all the other students. Everyone got a shock when the twins got into sitting positions. Melissa placed a hand to her mouth to try and hold back a laugh. The twins hair was no longer red but long and gray and they had long gray beards as well.

"You said," George said to his brother in an angry voice.

"You said," Fred repeated in the same angry voice.

They grab each other robes and they start rolling on the ground fighting. The students started to cheer and clap. Melissa tried to get them to stop while Hermione rolled her eyes at the twins. She went back to the bleachers and she sat back down and opened up her book. But the room suddenly fell silent as Victor Krum walked in. He placed his name in the Goblet of Fire and walked out of the room smiling at Hermione.
