Chapter 19

The next day

"Our first DADA with Professor Moody. This will be interesting." Harry said.

"An ex auror teaching will be interesting. I heard that he never took crap from anybody. Killed a dozen of death eaters. Disobeyed my aunts orders a couple of times which ended up being the best thing to do so he never got fired because of it." Susan said.

Harry opened the door and blocked an incoming spell wandlessly.

"Well done lad. You were prepared for a surprise attack. The rest of you weren't and that will get you killed. CONSTANT VIGILENCE!" Moody shouted which made everyone but Harry jump.

"You can't attack students." Hermione said.

"I aimed at the door, not at you. Are you going to tell a death eater that Miss Granger?" Moody asked.

"No." Hermione said.

"Correct. A death eater won't care who or what you are. They won't hesitate and if you went up against a death eater you shouldn't either." Moody said.

"But killing a person is wrong." Hermione said.

"You. The tall spiky one. What is your name?" Moody asked.

"Son Harry sir." Harry said.

"Mr Son if your friend or family member were about to be killed by a death eater or Voldemort, what would you do?" Moody asked.

"Snap his spine, break every bone in his body and rip his heart out with my bare hand. No hesitation. Fuck the law and fuck the aurors who would try to arrest me for murder." Harry said.

Everyone gasped at what he said while Moody just burst out laughing.

"That is some brave talk Mr Son." Moody said.

"Like they say Professor: You mess with the bull you get the horns. I am the bull." Harry said as Moody burst out laughing.

"40 points to Ravenclaw. I can tell I'm going to like you kid. Now everyone take your seats." Moody said.

Everyone went to their seats but Harry didn't sit down and looked at the chair. Daphne, Neville, Susan and Hermione noticed and didn't sit down. Harry watched as everyone else sat down only to get zapped.

"CONSTANT VIGILENCE! Those 5 were being vigilant. You can learn a thing or 2 from them." Moody said as he removed the spells on the chairs.

Everyone sat down as Moody began to write on the board.

"Alastor Moody. Ex-auror. Ministry malcontent. Your new defence against the dark arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me goodbye the end. When it comes to the dark art the practical approach is better. Now how many unforgivable are there?" Moody asked.

"3 sir." Hermione said.

"Why are they named that?" Moody asked.

"They're dark magic that are most unforgivable. The use of one of them will-" Hermione started.

"-earn you are one way ticket to Azkaban. Correct Miss Granger." Moody said as he wrote it down.

"The ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do but I say fuck them. You always need to know what you are up against and be prepared for it." Moody said.

"You need to find another place to put your chewing other than putting it under your desk Mr Finnegan." Moody said as everyone looked at him.

"No way. The old coot can see out of the back of his head." Seamus said as Moody threw his chalk at him.

"And hear across classrooms!" Moody shouted as he walked to Daphne.

"What curse shall we see first? GREENGRASS!" Moody shouted making her jump.

"Stand." Moody said and she stood up.

"Give us our first curse." Moody said.

"The imperious curse." Daphne said.

"Correct Greengrass. I'm sure your parents told you about these curses." Moody said.

"Yes sir. The imperious gave the ministry quite the problem after Voldemort's defeat." Daphne said as everyone her friend shudder.

"You're brave to say his name." Moody said.

"It's just a name sir and I would've liked to tear him apart along with some other people I hate." Harry said looking at Jack which Moody noticed.

"I heard about your hatred. Time to show you why the imperious curse was problematic years ago." Moody said as he walked to his desk.

Everyone watched as he removed a lid from a glass jar and a spider walked on his hand. He grabbed his wand and pointed it at the spider.

"Engorgio. Imperio!" Moody shouted.

Moody pointed his wand Neville and Dean's desk and the spider flew to it. Moody then pointed his wand at Crabbe which made the spider fly onto his head which scared him.

"Don't worry. Its harmless." Moody said.

The spider then flew onto Padma's arm and she was too scared to moved. The spider then floated about Ron's head as he whimpered as the spider landed on his face. Malfoy laughed at Ron predicament which made Moody look at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Moody asked as the spider flew onto Malfoy's.

The class burst out laughing at that. Even Moody laughed.

"Get off!" Malfoy shouted as the spider walked up his face.

"Talented isn't she?" Moody asked the spider floated onto his hand.

"Many witches and wizards claimed they did You-know-who's bidding under the imperious but how do we find the liars?" Moody asked as Harry looked at Malfoy.

Malfoy looked at him and glared as he knew why Harry looked at him.

"Another curse. Longbottom. Give us another curse." Moody said.

"The cruciatus curse." Neville said.

"Correct. Come. This one is a bit nasty." Moody said.

Neville walked to Moody's desk and looked at the spider.

"The torture curse. Crucio!" Moody shouted.

The spider then squealed in pain and Harry could hear Neville breathing heavily but Moody didn't stop the curse.

"PROFESSOR STOP IT NOW!" Harry shouted as he stood.

Moody looked at him when the spider stopped squealing. He picked up the spider and walked to Harry's desk. He placed the spider on top of Harry's book as the glared at each other. Everyone else but Neville watched in anticipation.

"Give us the last unforgivable curse Mr Son. You of all people should be familiar with this one." Moody said.

"The killing curse." Harry said in a growling like tone as his eyes flashed red for a second.

"Avada kedavra!" Moody shouted not even breaking eye contact as a beam as green as Harry's eyes shot from Moody's wand killing the spider.

They continued to stare at each other as the desk then started to shake and everyone knew Harry was the cause. They were brought back to reality as the bell rang.

"Time sure flies. Off you go." Moody said as he looked away from Harry and walked to his desk.

Harry grabbed his books and walked to Neville. Harry put his arm around him and lead him out of the classroom.

"Neville are you ok?" Harry asked.

"I'm fine." Neville said.

"Neville I know that curse has an effect on you mentally. I'm your friend." Harry said.

"Neville. I got your books for you." Hermione said.

Then Moody rushed to them and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Son. I got lost in the moment that I forgot about your parents. You ok?" Moody asked.

Neville nodded.

"Come on. We'll have a cup tea. I want to show you something." Moody said as he walked back up the stairs.

Neville preceded to walk up the store before Harry grabbed his shoulder.

"If he does anything, you let me know." Harry said as Neville nodded.

"I can't believe he did that." Susan said.

"I know. The curses are bad enough as it is. To perform them in a classroom." Hermione said.

"Hermione that's how Moody is. I've heard a lot about him from Mum. He does that with cadets during auror academy. That's why he's so good. Don't get me wrong I hate the fact he did it but you got to admit he's a good teacher. He wasn't allowed to show us them curses but he did anyway. To prepare us." Harry said.


1 month later

"Look at that." Hermione said as everyone looked to the view and saw flying horses pulling a carriage.

"Who could that be?" Daphne asked.

Everyone watched as the carriage got closer to the ground. Hagrid had something in his hands which appeared to be used to signal the horses.

"Clear the runaway!" Hagrid shouted.

He turned around and ducked as the carriage nearly hit him.

"That's something you don't see every day." George said.

"Look at the river." Susan said.

Everyone looked at the river and saw something sticking out of it. Then a pirate looking ship emerged from the water.

10 minutes later

Everyone was in the great hall.

"OK everyone before we before our great feast I'd like to make a few announcements. I was going to tell you this at the start of the year but I decided to leave it until now to keep the excitement up. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to very special guests." Dumbledore said as everyone else chatted to each other.

"You see Hogwarts has been chosen-" Dumbledore started before Filch interrupted whispering to Dumbledore.

"Sorry about that. Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event. The Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore said and everyone were shocked.

"You're joking!" The Weasley twins shouted.

"I am not Mr Weasley. The Triwizard tournament brings together three schools for a series of contests. For each of the three schools one student is selected to compete. Once chosen you stand alone and the contests are not for the faint of heart. More of that later. Please join me in welcoming the lovely ladies of the Beauxbatons academy of magic and their headmistress Madam Maxine." Dumbledore said.

Harry and his friends looked at each other in shock as the large double doors opened. They watched as a group of women in light blue sulk robe with black and white heel walk in. Trailing behind them was Fleur and Gabrielle along with a giant woman. Fleur wearing the same robes as the other girls but Gabrielle appeared to be wearing a leotard. Harry saw the other males stare at her which was because of her allure. As they reached the other side of the hall. Blue bird like creatures appeared from the girl's bodies. Everyone else clapped as Fleur and Gabrielle faced them and bowed. Gabrielle then saw Harry and was about to run to him but Fleur stopped her and whispered something into her ear.

"Now our friends from the north. Please meet the proud sons of Durmstrang and their high master Igor Karkarov." Dumbledore said as everyone looked at the doors again.

Then a group of men walked in. They were wearing fur cloaks, fur hats, and blood-red robes. The students in front were also holding staffs which the slammed onto the ground creating sparks leaving burn marks. Two of them ran towards the teacher's table as Igor Karkarov walked into the hall along with Viktor Krum which surprised everyone.

"Albus." Igor said as he hugged Albus.

"Igor. Been a long time." Dumbledore said.

"Ok. Beauxbatons you can sit with the Ravenclaws they are the one with the blue flags above their table and Durmstrang you can sit with the Slytherins and they are the one with the green flags above their table. A quick note for both schools. For today I ask that you sit with your school. After today you can sit anywhere you like with any new friends you make." Dumbledore said.

Harry saw Gabrielle pout at the news as they sat towards the end of the table.

Then some people walked into the hall carrying something towards the teacher's table.

"I'd like to say a few words. Eternal glory is what awaits the student who wins the Triwizard tournament. There will 3 tasks. 3 extremely dangerous tasks. Which is the reason the ministry has placed a new rule. To explain all this, we have the head of the department of international magical cooperation: Mr Bartemius Crouch." Dumbledore said.

"After due consideration, the ministry has concluded that for their own safety, students under the age of 17 is forbidden to put forth their name for the Triwizard Tournament and this decision is final." Crouch said.

Most of the students then started complain.

"Silence!" Dumbledore shouted.

Then golden object started to disappear and a large old rusty bronze goblet was revealed and blue flame appeared above it.

"The goblet of fire. For those who wish to submit themselves to the tournament, all you have to do is write your name on a piece of parchment and throw in the flame on Halloween night. Please note that once chosen there is no turning back. As of this moment the Triwizard tournament has begun." Dumbledore said.

"I can't believe they brought it back." Harry said.

"Wasn't it stopped because of the death count?" Daphne asked.

"It was. Why would they bring it back? Unless they haven't made the tasks as dangerous as they were before." Harry said.

"Most likely that." Daphne said.

"Now that you about the tournament how about we get to know our guests. Make sure you're back with your school mates." Dumbledore said.

Harry smiled. He stood as he Gabrielle rushed to him. He stumbled back as she hugged him. He noticed the surprised looks at the teacher's table except for Lily. Even some of the Hogwarts students were surprised. He felt Gabrielle letting him go and Fleur hugged him.

"So this the surprise?" Harry asked.

"Yep. Papa told us about the tournament and that we would be coming here." Fleur said.

"We're happy you're here." Hermione said as Dumbledore and Maxine walked to them.

"Marvellous. This is what I like to see." Dumbledore said.

"I see you're acquainted with my students." Maxine said in French.

"I am. Nice to meet you Madam Maxine." Harry said in French surprising her.

"Nice to meet you Mr-" Maxine started.

"Son." Harry said.

Everyone else introduced themselves.

"I never expected this Fleur. You and your sister are usually distant from people other than your family." Maxine said.

"Harry and everyone else here have been our friends for years. Harry is immune to the allure so that helps." Gabrielle said as Maxine smiled.

"Mr Son. I always put the safety of my students first. Given Fleur and Gabrielle's heritage I trust you will protect them when I am not close by." Maxine said.

"I always protect my friends Madam Maxine." Harry said which made her smile.

"Thank you. I best get acquainted with the teachers here at Hogwarts." Maxine said.

"I'll tell you about them. The woman with red hair is my mother Lily. She teaches muggle studies. The giant is Hagrid. He's the gamekeeper and teaches care of magical creatures." Harry said.

"I see. I could ask him if he could take care of the Abraxan horses for me. Who is the man with the greasy hair?" Maxine asked and Harry snickered a bit.

"That's Snape. He's the least popular teacher unless you're in Slytherin house. He teaches potions and someone you can't trust. He's always hated me and my sister Raven." Harry said.

"Why is that?" Maxine asked.

"Him and our birth father were rivals and he had a thing for my mother. Unfortunately he still does. Mum and James started dating during their 6th year here at Hogwarts and that pissed Snape. He used to take it out on me and Raven but I broke his arm once and he doesn't do that anymore." Harry said.

"I'm not going to ask. This James is your father correct?" Maxine asked.

"He never was a father to us. Always favourited Jack." Harry said.

"Jack Potter?" Maxine asked.

"Yes. He was more focused on Jack to the point where he forgot Me and Raven existed. He lost the right of being our father a long time ago." Harry said as Gabrielle held his hand.

"I see. Not being rude but I'm going to go introduce myself. It was nice meeting you all." Maxine said.

"No problem. It was a pleasure." Harry said.

Maxine then walked away.

"So what do you think Hogwarts?" Harry asked.

"It's nice but it is a bit cold." Fleur said.

"We're in the end of October in the country Britain." Harry said.

"True." Fleur said.

"Harry can you show us around?" Gabrielle asked.

"Not today. It's getting dark now. Lucky for you it is Saturday tomorrow and no lessons so I'll show you both around tomorrow." Harry said.

"How are you doing Harry?" Fleur asked.

"I'm ok." Harry said.

"Can I ask you something?" Gabrielle asked.

"Sure you can Gabi." Harry said.

"Why were you back in France?" Gabrielle asked.

"No surprise you sensed me. Remember the Flamels?" Harry asked.

"How can I not? They wouldn't stop treating us like we were their grandkids." Fleur said and Harry smiled.

"They died. Their age got to them. I was there when it happened." Harry said as they gasped.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." Gabrielle said.

"Thanks. I went to France so I could bury them there." Harry said.

"Shame we were at Beauxbatons, we could've come to the funeral." Fleur said.

"Yeah. Here's the most shocking part. Just before they died, they made their heir." Harry said and they gasped.

"So you're going Lord Flamel when you're 17?" Fleur asked.

"When I'm 15. I'm the last of that family Fleur." Harry said.

"I never would've expected that." Fleur said.

"What do you think I was thinking?" Harry asked.

"I suppose you've been to Gringotts?" Fleur asked.

"I have. He was planning it for a year. Made sure his affairs were in order and on the day he died he made his heir." Harry said.

"Well there is no one better suited than you." Gabrielle said.

"That's a lot of trust Harry." Fleur said.

"He gave me the means to make another Philosopher's stone." Harry said and everyone else gasped.

"No way. You never told us that." Hermione said.

"I had an emotional day at Gringotts. I nearly broke down by reading the letter Nick left me." Harry said.

"I can understand that." Daphne said.

"Who in your school is going to try and get into the tournament Fleur?" Susan asked.

"There are a few girls who are going to put their name in the goblet. I'll be putting my name in it." Fleur said.

"Whoa. Wait a minute. Did I hear that right? You're putting your name in?" Harry asked.

"Yeah." Fleur said.

"I don't think that's good idea." Harry said.

"Harry I know people have died in the tournament before." Fleur said.

"I don't want you to join that death count. I know for a fact that I am not alone in that thought." Harry said.

"Our parents would agree. I want to participate about I'm tired of people always thinking that I get the best stuff because I'm a Veela. I want to prove that I didn't use my Veela heritage for getting the best stuff. I want to show my real skill and knowledge." Fleur said.

"Who gives a shit about what people think?" Harry asked.

"You're not a Veela Harry. It can be a curse at times." Fleur said.

"I know when something feels like a curse Fleur. I was born with the biggest one of all." Harry said.

"You weren't born with allure." Fleur said.

"Fleur, I can understand that you want to prove yourself but don't go getting yourself killed in the process." Harry said.

"I know I won't get killed. Do you want to know why?" Fleur asked.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"You that's why. You won't let me die. I know the rules state that I can't have outside help but I know you like the back of my hand. You'll be my knight in shining armour and I'll be the damsel in distress that will reward you with a nice long kiss on the lips for saving me." Fleur said with a grin.

Harry blushed massively as everyone else laughed.

"You better get ready for that kiss Harry." Tonks said.

"I can't wait for the day you save me." Fleur said.

Harry looked down in embarrassment.

"Aw look at Harry. He's getting embarrassed." Susan said.

"Will you stop?" Harry asked.

"Ok. Ok. That's enough. We'll tease him even more when we kiss each other the day he saves me." Fleur said as they burst out laughing again.

Harry groaned at their laughter.

'They know me too well.' Harry thought.


Done

I'll tell you now writing this chapter was fun. Especially this the start of the DADA lesson and the last part. Like I said before I'll try and start to focus on my old stories a bit more. I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
