《Elegance | Harry Potter》Year 4-3 | The 3 Unforgivable Curses
Advertisement
"Alastor Moldy" He introduced himself at the very front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I was seated towards the very back of the classroom right behind Hermione. Another year another profesor for DADA, they just never stay.
"Ex-auror, and your new defense against the dark arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me end of story goodbye the end. Any questions?"
Silence filled the room.
"When it comes to the dark arts, I believe in a practical approach-" He continued, "First, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?"
"Three Sir" Hermione answered as usual,
"They're so named?" Profesor Moody started to scribble things down on a chalkboard as Hermione spoke.
"Because it's unforgivable. If you use any one of them you'll-"
"And you'll have one a way ticket to Azkaban. Correct!" He completed Hermione's sentence while scribbling something down on the chalkboard roughly. Hermione's voice was shaky and hesitant, I don't blame her. This lesson is literally on the unforgivable curses.
"The ministry says you're too young to learn these curses, I SAY DIFFERENT. You need to know what you're up against, you need to be prepared, you need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides under your desk Mr. Finnigan!" He yelled keeping his eyes on the chalkboard.
"Merlin he has an eye on the back on his head" Seamus said as we all turned to look at him. Profesor Moody quickly turned around and threw the piece of chalk across the room. All the students ducked as I stared at him, kind of rough.
"I can also hear across classrooms!" He yelled. "So, which curse shall we see first? WEASLEY"
"Yes!" Ron jumped looking at him.
"Stand!" Moody yelled once again staring down at him. Ron slowly stood up barely being able to make eye contact. "Give us a curse"
"Well.. My dad did tell me about one.. The imperio curse" Ron mumbled. The imperio curse, Ginny was under it when she opened the Chamber of Secrets. I still remember her casting all the advanced spells with no ease and the roar of the Basilisk. It haunts me to this day really.
"Ah yes your father would know about it. Gave the ministry quite a bit of grief years ago. Perhaps this will show you why" Moody walked back up to the front of the classroom and opened a glass jar. Inside was some sort of spider.

"Engorgio!" He pointed his wand at the spider making it grow in size, it was as big as his hands. "Imperio!" He casted another spell at it. He then pointed his wand towards a desk in the front and the spider flew to the direction of the wand. Dean quickly backed up on his seat in fear as Moody continued to control the spider. First on Crabbe's head then on Paravati's hand, then on Ron's head. Oh poor Ron, I know he fears spiders more than anything. From the side of the room Draco's laughter is easily heard.
"What are you laughing at?!" Moody flew the spider straight on to Draco's nose making him absolutely panic. Laughter filled the room quickly followed with Moody's cackle like laughter.
"Talented isn't she? What should we make her do next? Jump out the window?!" The laughter quickly died out as Moody flicked his wand towards a window causing the spider to be flung against it.
"Drown herself?" The spider hovered over a bucket of water as it struggled. Slowly, Moody brought it back on the his hand as we all watched in fear.
"Scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did 'you know who's' bidding under the influence of the imperio curse. How do we sort out the liars?" He continued, "Another curse, another?" Multiple students raised their hand.
"Come on, Longbottom is it?" He looked down at Neville who sat at the very front of the class. Neville nodded and slowly stood up not being able to make eye contact with Moody.
"The second curse is um.. The cruciatus sir" His voice was shaky.
"Correct correct! Come" Moody motioned Neville to come up to the front of the class and they both stood beside the spider.
"The torture curse, Crucio!" He pointed his wand at the spider as it let out a very painful high pitched shriek. It was clear it was struggling even if it wasn't a human. It's screams echoed loudly through the classroom as the students all flinched. Neville looked beyond terrified, he was shaking and could barely even keep his eyes opened. My father had told me about the Longbottoms, they were his friends. They were tortured by he who must not be named until they lost their minds forgetting Neville was their son. Clearly the cruciatus curse is traumatizing for him and he had to bare witness a creature being tortured before his eyes.

"STOP! STOP IT! CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S BOTHERING HIM? STOP IT!" Hermione yelled and Moody stopped. Finally the horrifying shrieks of the monster stopped as Moody picked it up in his hand walking up towards Hermione. Her eyes were glued on the desk and she looked terrified. Moody walked over and placed the spider in front of her.
"Perhaps you can give us the last unforgivable curse Miss Granger"
Hermione shook her head in fear. The last unforgivable curse, Avada Kedavra. He was going to kill the spider in front of Hermione. This class is totally gruesome, so so gruesome.
"No? Avada-"
"Expelliarmus!" I quickly took out my wand and pointed it towards Moody making his wand go flying backwards. Everyone's eyes were drawn to me and so was Moody's.
"Evelyn Clermont" He muttered stomping his way towards me pulling me up out of my seat by my robes.
"Get your hands off of me profesor before I get you sacked. You and I both know if the ministry were alerted of this lesson you would get sacked or even be sent to Azkaban. You know who my father is" I glared at him. He glared at me back before throwing me to the ground and stomped off grabbing his wand.
"Killing curse, only one person has known to survive it and he's sitting in this room"
I sat back up on the ground watching him walk towards harry and drinking something out of the same strange bottle. "Class dismissed"
Everyone quickly ran out of the classroom and I just stayed on the ground glaring at Moody. Hermione quickly rushed over wrapping her arms around my shoulder and helping me up.
"Come on let's go" She said grabbing my arm and pulling me out to the corridors.
"Are you alright?" Harry came over walking beside me.
"I'm fine"
"Brilliant isn't he? Completely demented, Terrifying of course. He's really been there you know?" Ron said.
"There's a reason those curses are unforgivable. To perform them in a classroom?" Hermione spat. Out of nowhere someone grabbed my robes again and pulled me around. We all turned to see Moody grabbing onto my robes tight.
"Come with me Clermont, you and I will have a talk" He said staring at me.
"She won't be needing to sir" Harry stood in between Moody and I. He examined Harry carefully and then back at me and smirked.
"Young love, very nice. Be glad Miss Clermont won't be expelled from Hogwarts like she should for attacking a teacher" He muttered pushing Harry to the side and dragging me up the stairs by my sleeve.
"Have some respect for her" Draco came down the stairs with his two minions Crabbe and Goyle. He quickly grabbed on to Moody's arm that was pulling my sleeve and threw it off. "I just disrespected you so won't you need to have a little talk with me as well?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Both of you follow me" Moody spat and turned around stomping up the stairs as Draco followed. I turned around to face Hermione Ron and Harry who looked at me worried before following the two back up to DADA classroom.
Draco and I stood in the classroom just looking at Moody who closely examined the two of us.
"Where did you learn the expelliarmus spell" He sharply turned looking at me.
"I saw Profesor Snape use it against Lockhart during DADA in my second year and copied it"
"Impressive. Your mother, Apolline Clermont eh?"
"Yes sir"
He smiled like a maniac, "I know your mother very well. You and Potter are dating?"
"Are you interrogating her? In that case I think she can go now" Draco spat from beside me and pulled me out of the class.
"Thanks" I said genuinely. It was odd that Draco would do that for me but I really did appreciate it.
"Can't tell if you're stupid or clever Evelyn" He muttered, "So what was the answer?"
"What?"
"Are you and Potter dating?"
"No- He fancies somebody else really" My expressions saddened for a second.
"Figured, you're too good for him" He said walking away down the stairs. Moody knows my mother well? Can't be, she's not an auror. Unless Moody also was another follower of the dark lord which I highly doubt. Why would Dumbledore hire someone like that and besides, he was a famous auror.

The Eldritch Horror Returns to Earth, but Things are a Bit Different
One day, Adam B. Windsley was in this world, and then, he wasn't. Suddenly trasported into a strange world called Lutum, Adam finds himself in the body of a small, unassuming slug, and during the course of 600 years, he evolved beyond the scope of humans, becoming one of the Five Evil Gods, worshipped by his followers and treated as a God would. But he isn't happy. And after some time reaquainting himself with humans, he finds himself enjoying their company. But, in a sudden twist of events, he finds himself back in his own world. But he is still a giant tentacle-covered monstoristy. And where did these magical girls come from?... --------- In short, this is a story focusing on a somewhat edgy reincarnated-as-a-monster kind of guy who returned back to his world on the day of his transferral, only for strange, unusual things to happen. Monsters from his past world start popping up out of the blue, and ordinary people are suddenly learning of sorcery, becoming magical girls in the process. In terms of structure, it will mostly be about what happens to Adam after coming back, but at times, there will also be chapters focusing on Adam's life before his transferred, in chronological order. In other words, very typical isekai stuff. The chapters will be between 2000 and god-only-knows-how-many words and will be released every three days at 8 am, CST. I don't actually live in America so if chapter release is off by an hour or so, it's probably either because I messed up with the time, or because I was unable to finish a chapter on time-, The artwork on the cover belongs to yours truly, I drew it myself and I'm darn tootin' proud of it, and Omni is my dear co-writer who got me this far. Couldn't do it without him! With that said, I do hope you enjoy, as I did put way too much effort into it... Enjoy!
