Harry Potter's Coolest Aunt

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang

Please send comments to make my day

The next morning, Harry woke up with a stretch and started his workout. He hung himself upside down, legs hanging from the bedpost, and he did his reps. "Morning, Harry," Justin said, waking up to Harry, doing one hand pull-ups. " Morning Justin....Morning Erin..." "man your a monster," Erin said, who finished brushing his teeth.

Soon he joined his friends for breakfast including Aishi who he greeted with a kiss making his day wonderful but on the other hand, their lessons were becoming more difficult and demanding than ever before, particularly Moody's Defense Against the Dark Arts. To their surprise, Professor Moody had announced that he would be putting the Imperius Curse on each of them in turn, to demonstrate its power, and to see whether they could resist its effects. "But - but you said it's illegal, Professor," said Hermione uncertainly as Moody cleared away the desks with a sweep of his wand, leaving a large clear space in the middle of the room. "You said - to use it against another human was -"

"The Ministry wants you taught what it feels like," said Moody, his magical eye swivelling onto Hermione and fixing her with an eerie, unblinking stare. "If you'd rather learn the hard way - when someone's putting it on you so they can control you completely - fine by me. You're excused. Off you go." He pointed one gnarled finger toward the door. Hermione went very pink and muttered something about not meaning that she wanted to leave. The golden group looked at each other. They knew Hermione would rather eat bubotuber pus than miss such an important lesson.

Plus, his mom was there unhappy with the lesson plan but still on watch to help heal the students from the effects.

Moody began to beckon students forward in turn and put the Imperius Curse upon them. Harry watched as, one by one, his classmates did the most extraordinary things under its influence. Dean Thomas hopped three times around the room, singing the national anthem. Lavender Brown imitated a squirrel. Neville performed a series of quite astonishing gymnastics he would certainly not have been capable of in his normal state. Justin walked around doing a handstand

Not one of them seemed to be able to fight off the curse, and each of them recovered only when Moody had removed it. "Potter," Moody growled, "you next." Harry moved forward into the middle of the classroom, into the space that Moody had cleared of desks. Moody raised his wand, pointed it at Harry, and said, "Imperio!" It was the most wonderful feeling. Harry felt a floating sensation as every thought and worry in his head was wiped gently away, leaving nothing but a vague, untraceable happiness. He stood there feeling immensely relaxed, only dimly aware of everyone watching him. And then he heard Mad-Eye Moody's voice, echoing in some distant chamber of his empty brain: Jump onto the desk... jump onto the desk.... Jump onto the desk... Why, though? Another voice had awoken in the back of his brain. Stupid thing to do, really, said the voice. Jump onto the desk... No, I don't think I will, thanks, said the other voice, a little more firmly... no, I don't really want to. Jump! NOW! Nope!

Harry opened his eyes and shook his head. "Was something supposed to happen?" He asked. "Now, that's more like it!" growled Moody's voice, "Look at that, you lot... Potter fought! He fought it, and he damn beat it! We'll try that again, Potter, and the rest of you, pay attention - watch his eyes, that's where you see it - very good, Potter, very good indeed! They'll have trouble controlling you!"

"The way he talks," Harry muttered as he hobbled out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class an hour later (he got hit on the knees by draco under the impero curse) "you'd think we were all going to be attacked any second." "Yeah, I know," said Ron, who was skipping on every alternate step. He had had much more difficulty with the curse than Harry, though Moody assured him the effects would wear off by lunchtime. Aishi looked at her friends and boyfriend in worry as she was so far the only one who was not cursed thanks to the bell. She had a feeling it's the same as her second year.
