The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 57 Mad-Eye Moody

Tom was immersed in the joy of being out of danger, unaware that he had been involved in a larger and more dangerous whirlpool.

He unfolded "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future" and began to seriously analyze his future direction according to the instructions above.

"Mars and Jupiter are unfortunately conjunct, so I will probably be unwell...but it seems that good things will happen on this day..." Tom wrote quickly and quickly completed his fortune interpretation for the next month. He wrote in the last line: On Monday night, I will have a conflict with someone because progress occurs in the twelfth house of the zodiac.

"Tom, can you help me check my fortune?" Parvati thrust the astrology chart under Tom's nose. Seeing Parvati's action, Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"Okay." Tom had transformed into a ruthless divination machine at this time. Without saying a word, he took the astrological chart and began to predict Parvati's fortune.

"Well... the astrology shows that you should have no major problems next month. There may be some small bumps. For example, you are at risk of being burned on Monday - this may be related to your Care of Magical Creatures class."

Tom's little joke made Parvati and others laugh.

"Can you help us take a look at the longer-term fortune...such as love?" After completing their homework, several little witches were still unwilling to leave. They chattered around Tom, hoping that he could help them look at it. Look at your own luck.

"Well, according to the astrological chart, Lavender, you need to take the initiative, and Parvati and Padma, you two just need to wait quietly - there will be a slight chance around Christmas, you have to seize it good……"

Tom was talking very immersedly. Halfway through, he looked up and found Crookshanks squatting on the empty chair next to him, staring at him with incomprehensible eyes. It looked exactly like Hermione, almost exactly like Hermione.

Tom quickly pushed the horoscope away, saying that it was getting late and that this was enough for today. You guys should go back quickly and don’t meet Filch on the way back.

The three Lavenders reluctantly ended the topic.

After the three of them left, Hermione, who had been silent for a long time, snorted coldly: "Take the initiative? Wait quietly? What do I need to do?"

When the energy was diverted from divination, Tom's emotional intelligence returned to normal. Seeing Hermione's reaction, he immediately realized: Is she jealous?

"You, you don't have to do anything." After saying this, Tom stood up quickly and kissed Hermione like a dragonfly.

Before she could react, Tom took the opportunity to slip away. Hermione touched the spot where Tom had kissed her just now. She was angry and funny, and said to Crookshanks: "Does he think he can escape punishment this way? What a wonderful idea!"

Crookshanks waggled his tail lazily.

"Meow~"

The next few days were uneventful, until the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson arrived.

Before the little wizards in Ravenclaw started taking Moody's classes, they had heard some scraps from friends who had taken the class. This also made everyone look forward to Moody's class, so much so that many people rushed to the classroom long in advance just to get a good seat.

Tom and Hermione arrived early, so they managed to occupy seats directly in front of the podium.

After the school bell rang, Moody's distinctive footsteps came from the corridor outside the classroom - one of his legs was a prosthetic, so there was a muffled thumping sound when he walked.

Moody's first words after entering the classroom were: "Put the textbooks away, I won't need them in my class."

The students suddenly became excited: Defense Against the Dark Arts, which does not require textbooks, must be very exciting!

Moody quickly wrote his name on the blackboard, and then began to call the names. Every student who is called will be scrutinized by Moody's eyes.

After the last name was put with a check mark, Moody closed the roster and said in a rough voice: "I have inquired about it. Professor Lupine gave you a very systematic introduction to how to deal with dark magic animals. This Very good. I also heard that an impostor replaced the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who was originally going to be here two years ago and gave you classes for a year?"

The little wizards in the audience nodded.

"If I meet that guy, I will definitely throw him into Azkaban." Moody muttered, "Although he is a scumbag, I still agree with his teaching philosophy."

Hearing this, the little wizards in the audience were shocked. They originally thought that good and evil were not mutually exclusive. As a retired Auror, Moody should be very opposed to the fake Lockhart. No one expected that he actually agreed with that person's teaching philosophy.

"You are indeed deficient in dealing with spells. Many adult wizards can't even cast an iron spell!" Moody paused on the floor with his crutches. "So in this year, I will teach you how to deal with dark magic. …But what I’m going to talk about is much more detailed than what the impostor said, so you have to work hard to keep up... We don’t have much time.”

Moody grinned.

"Anyway, he should have told you and demonstrated the three unforgivable curses, right?" After receiving a positive answer, Moody nodded with satisfaction.

"This saves me a lot of trouble... So as the first lesson of the school year, I decided to take turns using the Imperius Curse on you."

The students were in awe. They didn't expect that Moody would openly use the Unforgivable Curse on the students! Tom was also a little confused. He didn't know whether an Auror like Moody would actually cast the Imperius Curse on ordinary students.

Is this really something a retired Auror can do? Tom had a hint of doubt about Moody's identity.

"But this is illegal," Hermione almost stood up in surprise, "Before... I said that using the Imperius Curse on wizards-"

"Dumbledore and I both think it's not a bad thing to let you experience the Imperius Curse," Moody looked at Hermione with both eyes and said firmly: "You must have experience, so that if this spell is cast on you in the future, you Only then can we respond better and even break free from the control of the Imperius Curse. I'm sorry, Miss Granger, but this is necessary!"

After speaking, Moody waved his wand and cleared a large space in the center of the classroom. After the venue was set up, Moody began to let the students come forward in turn and cast the Imperius Curse on them. Under the influence of the Imperius Curse, everyone performed abnormal behaviors one after another: some people danced breakdancing, some started exercising in the classroom, and Sue Li even more vividly imitated a rabbit. .

"Hermione Granger." Finally, Moody called Hermione's name. She walked to the center of the classroom with some anxiety.

Good night.
