Chapter Thirteen ~ Defence Against the Dark Arts class and trouble with Fred and George's aging potion

The next day Harry and Hermione made their way to Defence against the Dark Arts and they sat down Harry and Ron sat together so it looked like Harry and Hermione were still single (A/N: remember Harry and Hermione don't want to be seen together) Hermione sat across from them and placed her books on the desk and once everyone was in (the Gryffindor and Slytherin 5th years)

Moody said "I'm Alistair Moody Ex-Auror, Ministry contempt"

Mad-Eye wrote his name on the board as he spoke and said and your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. Today we shall be learning about the unforgiveable curses now who can tell me how many there are"?

Hermione put her hand in the air and said "there are three sir; because they are unforgiveable the use of one of them would...Moody continued and said "earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban correct. Now who can tell me what they are? No one hmm that's a shame...Weasley"!

Ron snaps out of his daze and said "Yes"?

Mad-Eye strictly said "Stand!"

Ron stands up looking terrified and Mad-Eye said "give us a curse"

Ron said "Well my dad did tell me about one the imperious curse"

Mad-Eye stated "Oh yes your father would know all about that one wouldn't he"?

Mad-Eye goes to his desk and takes out a spider and said "engorgio, imperio"!

The spider with the help of Moody's wand lands on many of the students' heads and on Malfoy's face which makes most of the students laugh and then he summons it back and said "the scores of witches and wizards who claim to have joined Voldemort under the imperious curse is unbelievable so how do we sort out the liars"?

Mad-Eye points to Neville and he stands and Moody said Professor Sprout told me you have the nick of her Herbology give us a curse"

Neville having heard of this curse from his grandmother and the one which drove his parents insane said "T-there's the cruciartus curse"

Mad-Eye who was impressed by Neville's knowledge said "Correct, correct come, come"

Neville goes to his desk and Mad-Eye said "the torture curse Crucio!"

Neville goes timid as he remembers his parents and Hermione said "Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him STOP IT Mad-Eye!

Mad-Eye stops the curse and places the spider on Hermione's books and said "Will you give us a demonstration"?

Hermione shook her head and said "No I won't for a reason"

Mad-Eye looked at her and said "Fine! Avada Kedavra" points it at the spider and it falls on her books dead.

He then said "tell them about it Miss Granger since you and Mr Potter are experts on these three curses"

Hermione sighed and said "the killing curse is the last of the unforgiveables only one person is known to have survived it and that's Harry"

Just then the bell rang signalling the ending of periods 1 and 2 and was now break.


Later that day/afternoon...

Harry and Hermione were in the Great Hall and they looked to see Cedric placed his name in the cup and then Krum did the same he passed Harry and Hermione and smiled at them and then Fred and George came in cheering and said "well boys we cooked it up just this morning"

Hermione said "It's not going to work"!

Fred said "Oh yeah and why is that Granger"?

Hermione said "You see this *points to the line* this is an age line Dumbledore drew it himself"

George said "So what's wrong"?

Hermione shuts her book and said "So a genius like Dumbledore can't be fooled as to something as dim-witted as an aging potion"

Fred said "Ah but that's why it's so brilliant because it's so perfectly dim-witted"

Both say at the same time "Ready Fred, Ready George? Bottoms up"

Both Fred and George drink the potion and jump in the circle and both said with happy looks on their faces "yes! Ha-ha yes"!

Both place the vials in and the goblet of fire sends them up against a bench and both begin to look like old men.

Fred and George look angry at one another and said "You said! You said"! Both of them then fight.
