Chapter 57 Mad-Eye Moody
Tom was immersed in the joy of getting out of danger at this time, unaware that he had been involved in a bigger and more dangerous vortex.
He unfolded "Poke the Fog and See the Future" and began to seriously analyze his future direction according to the above instructions.
"Unfortunately, Mars and Jupiter are conjunct, so I'm likely to be unwell... But it seems that something good will happen this day..." Tom quickly completed his interpretation of his fortune for the next month. On the last line he wrote: On Monday night, I will have a conflict with a man because progress is in the twelfth house of the zodiac.
"Tom, can you help me see my fortune?" Parvati shoved the horoscope under Tom's nose. Seeing Parvati's action, Hermione raised her eyebrows.
"Yes." Tom had turned into a ruthless divination machine at this time. He took over the astrological chart and began to speculate on the fortune for Parvati without saying a word.
"Well... the astrology shows that you should have no major problems next month, there may be some small bumps, such as Monday you are at risk of being burned - this may be related to your conservation of magical creatures class."
Tom's little joke made Parvati laugh.
"Can that help us take a look at the longer-term fortune...such as love and so on." After finishing their homework, several little witches were reluctant to leave. They chatted around Tom, hoping he could help them see 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 …”
Tom was very engaged. Halfway through he looked up and found Crookshanks squatting on the empty chair next to him, staring at him with inscrutable eyes. It looked exactly like Hermione, almost exactly like Hermione.
Tom hurriedly pushed the astrological chart away, indicating that it was not too early. Let's talk about it today, and you hurry back and don't meet Filch on the way back.
The three of Lavender reluctantly ended the topic.
After the three of them left, Hermione, who had been silent for a long time beside her, snorted coldly: "Take the initiative? Wait quietly? Then what do I need to do?"
When his energy was diverted from divination, Tom's emotional intelligence returned to normal. Seeing Hermione's reaction, he realized for the first time: Isn't she jealous?
"You, you don't have to do anything." After saying this, Tom stood up quickly and kissed Hermione like a little bit of water.
Before she could react, Tom took the time to slip away. Hermione touched the spot where Tom kissed just now, angrily and funny, and said to Crookshanks, "Does he think he can get away with this? What a beautiful idea!"
Crookshanks wagged his tail lazily.
"Meow~"
The next few days were uneventful, nothing happened, until the arrival of the first Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Before the little wizards of Ravenclaw began to take Moody's class, they heard a few words from friends who had attended the class. This also made everyone look forward to Moody's class, so many people rushed to the classroom a long time in advance, just to get a good seat.
Tom and Hermione came early, so they managed to take the seat right in front of the podium.
After the class bell rang, Moody's characteristic footsteps could be heard in the corridor outside the classroom - he has a prosthetic leg, so there is a muffled thud when he walks.
Moody's first words after entering the classroom were: "Put away the textbooks, I don't need them for 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 take the roll call. Every student who is called will be scrutinized by Moody's stare.
After the last name was also ticked, Moody closed the roster and said gruffly, "I've asked, and Professor Lupin has systematically introduced you how to deal with black magic animals. Very good. I also heard that two years ago a fake replaced the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who was supposed to be here and gave you a class for a year?"
The little wizards in the audience nodded.
"If I ever meet that guy, I'll definitely put it into Azkaban." Moody muttered, "Although he's a scumbag, I still agree with his teaching philosophy."
Hearing this, the little wizards in the audience were shocked. They thought that right and wrong were incompatible, and Moody, as a retired Auror, should be very opposed to fake Lockhart. No one expected that he would actually agree with that person's teaching philosophy.
"You guys are really lacking in dealing with spells, and many grown-up wizards can't even cast an armored spell!" Moody paused on the floor with his cane, "so this year, I'm going to teach you how to deal with black magic. ...but what I'm going to talk about is much more detailed than what the fake guy said, you have to work hard to keep up... time is running out."
Moody grinned In short, he should have told you and demonstrated the Three Unforgivable Curses, right? After getting a positive answer, Moody nodded in satisfaction.
"This saves me a lot of trouble... Then as the first class of the school, I decided to use Imperius Curse on you in turn."
The students were shocked. They had no idea that Moody would blatantly cast the Unforgivable Curse on the students! Tom was also a little confused. He didn't know if an Auror like Moody would really cast the Imperius Curse on ordinary students.
Is this really something a retired Auror can do? Tom has a slight suspicion of Moody's identity.
"But it's illegal," Hermione almost stood up in surprise, "before... I said, using the Imperius Curse on wizards—"
"Both Dumbledore and I don't think it's a bad thing to let you experience the Imperius Curse," Moody said firmly, looking at Hermione with both eyes: "You must have knowledge, so that this spell will be cast in the future, you In order to cope better, even break free from the Imperius Curse. I'm sorry, Miss Granger, but it's 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 have the students take turns to come forward and cast the Imperius Curse on them. Under the influence of the Imperius Curse, everyone made abnormal behaviors one by one: some people danced breakdance, some started to exercise in the classroom, and Su Li imitated a rabbit vividly. .
"Hermione Granger." Finally, Moody called Hermione's name. She walked nervously to the center of the classroom.

Good night.
