Chapter 14.1- Doom Days
Added 2024-12-18 22:28:43 +0000 UTC“And so what do you do when someone fires one of these buggers at you?” ‘Mad-eye’ asked the class of seventh years as he fired another blood boiling curse at the dummy on the opposite end of the classroom. We stood around him in two parallel lines. The man refused to allow anyone stand behind him holding a wand so we watched from different angels as he showed off one of the more well-known pieces of dark magic. The blood blowing curse was a nasty piece of work, but part of it being so well known meant that the counter curse was equally well-known.
“Get the hell out of the way” Mctominay said to chuckles from the Hufflepuff end of the classroom and titters from the Ravenclaw end. Even with these houses, there existed a smaller but no less fierce rivalry. Ron had called it the fifth for third place.
“Fair choice, Mctominay, but something a but more inspiring, please” ‘Mad-eye Moody’ replied, fake eye darting around his skull and making most hesitate to meet his gaze.
“Yes Potter?” He asked, calling out to me.
“I didn’t raise my hand, Professor” I replied.
“And yet, I’ve called on you anyway. Don’t tell me the boy-who-lived is only good at using dark arts and not defending against them. Would make the rest of the time you spend here very awkward, don’t you think?” He asked, drawing laughter from most of the class. The Hufflepuffs were howling with it.
“The countercurse” I replied.
“Yes, of course it’s a bleeding counter curse, but what is it?”
“It’s the bloodsettling spell. It also serves as the counter to the bloodfreezing curse as well.” I replied, allowing the sarcasm wash off me like water on a stone. His head was mine sooner or later.
A/N: More WIP. Yes, the Crouch fight comes in this chappy
