Chapter 25 - Three Unforgivable Curses

Your POV

Professor Moody started the class by updating us on what he was told we learnt from Professor Lupin in our third year.

"The ministry say you can't handle learning about the unforgivable curses, I say different. You need to know what you're up against. You need to find another place TO PUT YOUR GUM BESIDES THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR DESK MR FINNIGAN" Moody yelled.

"Oh man he can see out the back of his head" Seamus said sort of quietly.

"AND HEAR ACROSS CLASSROOMS" He yelled again throwing something at Seamus.

"Now there are three unforgivable curses does anyone know what they are?" He asked. I started to feel anxious about the topic. Ron raised his hand.

"My dad did tell me about one, the imperius curse" Ron said.

"Oh yes your father would know all about that gave the ministry quite a bit of grief a few years back" Moody said before picking up a spider and using the curse on it. He made the spider jump on desks, on students heads and on Malfoys face. Everyone erupted in laughter at the situation.

"You think this is funny, maybe I should make it jump out the window or drown itself." Everyone stopped laughing.

"Complete control and almost impossible to resist. Y/n, I hear you are quite good at this muggle sport gymnastics" Moody mentioned bringing everyone's attention to me.

"I guess" I mumbled.

"What would you say is the hardest trick to perform?" He asked.

"A triple double" I answered.

"Can you show us?" He said.

"It's... very hard to-" I was interrupted.

"Can you do this trick?". I heard Malfoy and his goons laughing.

"Yes" I said. Neville quickly took my hand looking at me, silently telling me I didn't have to prove anything. But I got up anyway giving his hand a reassuring squeeze before lining up and taking a deep breath to focus.

I landed and let out a breath. Oh my God I did it. I smirked at Malfoy and sat back down.

"Excellent thank you Y/n. Now your name is Longbottom, yes?" Moody pointed at Neville. He nods.

"Come" Moody pointed to where Neville needed to stand. By the way Neville was standing you could tell he was an insecure guy but I liked him for him.

Moody aimed his wand at Neville saying the curse. I looked in shock until Neville replicated the triple double I demonstrated, then I was discombobulated.

"Who thinks they can resist this curse?" He asked. Almost everyone wanted to try to resist the curse, pretty soon we had students doing jumpingjacks, flips and other random things. I stayed in my seat not wanting to be apart if it. Harry was able to resist the curse but fell on his face as a result of trying not to jump on the box. People clapped as Moody congratulated him.

"Y/n is the only one left" Pavati pointed out.

"I'm not doing it, that's my choice." I said.

"What, are you scared Y/l/n" Pansy provoked me.

"I'm not scared, I just have boundaries. Besides of course you aren't going to be able to resist if it's a simple task that doesn't have a consequence" I said.

"Uhhh so what Miss Y/l/n is saying is if she was to be made to hurt someone she could resist. How about we test that theory." Moody offered. Pansy suggested that I tried to stop myself from kissing Seamus and everyone mainly Slytherins thought it was a great idea.

I saw Neville's face drop, I definitely didn't want to hurt Neville he was the last person I wanted to hurt. I cared about him so much, if I kissed his best friend even under a spell it would break his heart. Moody cast the spell.

"Kiss Mr Finnigan" He said but I stood still.

"Kiss him Y/l/n, we all know you want to" Pansy said.

"No" I spoke. Soon Moody congratulated me. I was so glad I resisted the powerful effects but Neville didn't seem that happy about it.

Neville's POV

She deserves someone better, I can't even stand up for my girlfriend. She deserves someone handsome that can look after her that's not me. Everyone went back to their seats and Moody asked for the next curse, I raised my hand.

"The cruciatus curse" I answered.

"Good good" Moody put the spider on our desk and enlarged it before using the curse. I watched in horror it, I couldn't move or say anything.

"STOP IT CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S BOTHERING THEM, STOP IT" Hermione yelled and Moody stopped.

"Do you know what the last curse is Miss Granger" She shook her head even though she did know it.

"Avada Kadavra" He chanted and the spider was killed.

"The killing curse only one person is known to have survived it and he is in this room" Everyone's attention went to Harry. Class was dismissed. I saw Y/n wipe away a tear from her face, I didn't see her after that. I thought about my parents how they suffered from that curse how Y/n had that curse use on her. Moody made me go to his office to talk. He told me how Professor Spout said I was brilliant at Herbology and gave me some books. I went back to my dorm to read them.

Harry and Ron came into the room and asked me about what happened with Moody. I told them about the books.

"Have you seen Y/n at all apparently no one has seen her since class" Harry said. I gasped and jumped up angry at myself for forgetting about her. Harry and Ron helped me look for her but we didn't find her.

"Where do you too usually hang out?" Ron asked.

"The green house but I already checked there" I said.

"What about the Black Lake" Harry suggested. All three of us went down to the Black Lake. I saw someone on the ground.

"Y/N" I yelled seeing her laying there.

We carried her to the hospital wing. She was so pale and she had a cut on her forehead. After four hours of waiting she woke up.

"What did I do this time?" She groaned wincing when she touched her forehead.

"That's what we were hoping you would tell us." I said. She frowned.

"I-I...I don't remember" Y/n mumbled.
