At this time, Tom was immersed in the joy of escaping from danger, unaware that he had been involved in a larger and more dangerous whirlpool.
He spread out "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
Write: On Monday night, I will have a conflict with someone because progress appears in the twelfth house of the zodiac.
"Tom, can you help me check my fortune?" Parvati stuffed the astrological 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 astrology 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 very immersed in what he was talking about. Halfway through, he looked up and found Crookshanks squatting on the empty chair next to him, staring at him with mysterious eyes. His expression was exactly like Hermione's, almost the same as Hermione's.
Exactly the same.
Tom quickly pushed the astrology chart away, saying it was getting late and that 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?"
After his 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, feeling angry and funny, and said to Crookshanks: "Does he think he can escape punishment like this? I don't think so.
Beautiful!”
Crookshanks waggled his tail lazily.
"Meow~"
The next few days were uneventful, with nothing happening, until the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson arrived.
Before the little wizards in Ravenclaw started taking Moody's class, they heard a few words from friends who had taken the class. This also made everyone full of expectations for Moody's class, so that many people came in advance
It took a long time to get to the classroom just to get a good seat.
Tom and Hermione arrived very early, so they managed to occupy the seats directly in front of the podium.
After the school bell rang, Moody's distinctive footsteps came from the corridor outside the classroom - he had a prosthetic leg, 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 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 call the names. Every student who was called would 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 taught 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 young wizards in the audience were shocked. They 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 teachings.
idea.
"You are indeed deficient in dealing with spells. Many adult wizards can't even cast an armor spell!" Moody paused on the floor with his cane, "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 that he 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 school, I have decided to take turns using the Imperius Curse on you."
The students were shocked. 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 little 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 magic wand and cleared a large space in the center of the classroom. After the venue was arranged, 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 made abnormal behavior one after another: some people danced break dance, some people started to exercise in the classroom, and Sue Li even imitated a rabbit vividly.
"Hermione Granger." Finally, Moody called Hermione's name. She walked to the center of the classroom with some anxiety.
