Chapter 6: New Defense against the dark arts teacher and disturbing news

( Defense against the dark arts class)

"Alastor Moody, Ex Auror and your new Defense against against the dark arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me end of story goodbye the end! any questions?" Introduced a gruff voice wearing a overcoat, while having blonde hair and a magical eye over his left eye this was Mad Eye Moody.

Harry was sitting with Ron who is currently watching his new teacher for some reason there was something off about this new teacher as Harry continued to watch the man and looked interested at what he and the others were going to be taught in the defense against the dark arts.

"When it comes to the dark arts.. i believe a practical approach but first which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses are there?" Moody asked staring at every student in the room.

"Three sir" Answered Hermione

"And they are so named?" He asked rushing over to the board with a calk in his hand writing it down.

"Because they are so unforgivable, the use of any of them will-" Hermione replied back but moody intervened.

"Will earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban! correct! now the ministry says you all are too young to see these curses but i say different!" He said scribbling on the board with his calk.

"You need to find out what your up against! and to be prepared!" He ranted going back to the board as Seamus was putting his piece of gum underside his desk as Moody called out to him with many in the classroom looking to the back at Seamus who looked shocked at being caught.

"The old codger can see in the back of his head" Whispered Seamus as he was hit by a piece of paper by Moody

"I hear across classrooms!" Moody shouted

"So which curse shall we see first? Weasley!" He said coming up to Ron and Harry's desk

"Yes?" Ron asked

"Stand!" Commanded Moody as Ron flinched standing up

"Give us a curse?" Moody asked staring at ron who looked uncomfortable.

"We-Well my dad did tell me one of them, the imperius curse" Ron answered as moody nodded.

"Of course your father would know all about that, it gave the ministry grief a few years ago perhaps this will show you why" Moody replied in his usual gruff voice turning away heading over to the table going through a jar grabbing a spider like crab, Hermione could only glare at the man.

Harry on the other hand was rather interested on how would this go.

"Engorgio" He pointed his wand at the creature making it big

"Imperio!" He casted from his wand as he casted her towards Neville's and Dean Thomas desk then casted the spider to Crabbe's head as Moody laughed he shifted her to the twins then floated it above Ron's head who was squirming which made Moody laugh more as he heard Malfoy's laugh

"What are you laughing at!?" He said shifting the crab like spider on Malfoy's face who screamed 'get it off' which made everyone in the classroom laugh

"Talented is she? what should i have her do next? toss her out the window?" Moody asks directing her towards the window

"Have her drown herself?" He asked now directing her to a bucket full of water with the class watching as he brought it back in his hands turning towards the class

"Scores of witches and wizards claimed they have only did the bidding of he who must not be named under the influence of the imperius curse!" He explained shifting his magical eye towards everyone

"Another? another?". He asked wanting to see hands raised which Half the class did then turned his attention on Neville long bottom

"Longbottom is it?" He asked as Neville nodded as he stood up

"Professor Sprout tells me you have a thing for herbology" He asked seeing the teen nod

"The-The Cruciatus Curse?" Neville spoke as Moody looked excited

"Correct! come!" Moody said guiding the boy over

"I present you the torture curse, Crucio!" Moody said pointing his wand at the insect seeing it screech and wither from the torture curse as Neville flinched from seeing this as it was beginning to torture him from seeing what Cruciatus curse as it brought him bad memories.

"Stop it! can't you see it's bothering him!" Yelled Hermione who couldn't take it anymore she didn't like this new teacher and didn't like the fact he was showing them these unforgivable curses to the whole class.

Moody looked from her to Neville as he stopped taking the insect in his hand walking over to Hermione's desk.

"Perhaps you can give us the last unforgivable curse Ms. Granger?" he asked putting it on her desk as she looked up at him shaking her head

"Avada Kedavra!" He shouted pointed his wand at the insect blasting a green light of death killing it.

"The Killing curse, only one person has been known to survive it and he's sitting in this very room" Spoke Moody giving a knowing stare at Harry who stared back at him.

Harry didn't know what it was but there was something disturbing about this man and whatever it was he didn't like it.

( Beauxbatons Carriage)

True Enough Harry Promised to meet Fleur as he brought the letter that is from her father, he is currently in her room having a nice friendly chat

"So 'Arry like the carriage?" She asked giving him a cup of tea

"Yes i like it thanks for the tea" He said taking a sip as she smiled warmly at him.

"Did you read father's Letter? he said it's urgent and that you need to read it now" Spoke Fleur looking at his green eyes with her own sapphire eyes.

"No, Reason I didn't was because you said it was for my eyes only so i brought here to read" Harry replied opening her father's letter and began reading it seeing it was written in English for him to understand.

Dear Mr. Potter, I've sent you this letter to inform you of a abnormal Discovery my doctor's had found when they examined you and checked for your injuries, your body temperature is abnormally hot including your internal organs and bone structure they said your bones are hollow like and light. As for your blood they have detected your blood is mixed in between cold and warm blood as for your DNA they've found traces of two Dna's that no normal human being or wizard should have, Mr. Potter i don't know how to explain this to you but the dna traces we've found are of that of a 50% Phoenix and a 50% Basilisk.

Harry completely froze as he made sure he didn't misread what Mr. Delacour had written in the letter as sweat started to form on his forehead, No please this had to be a sick joke, No way he could be... he could be some sort of Hybrid!? was his dreams actually coming true.. that explains his strange behavior and appearance! he's a hybrid of a phoenix and a Basilisk!.

He looked at the rest of the letter with dread as he had forgotten that Fleur was sitting with him hearing him read it as she widened her own sapphire eyes and gasped putting a hand over her mouth in shock her Veela senses were correct! there was something indeed wrong with Harry and for some reason her Veela side felt attracted to it as she watched him tense.

Harry could only tremble, if anyone found out what he is slowly becoming it will be like the chamber of secrets all over again meaning the whole school will hate him and shun him. He didn't know how his friends would react he didn't know how his own house would react that he is becoming the Monster that attacked nearly everyone in his 2nd year. He didn't know who could he ask for help was there some type of cure to remove what he was becoming? he didn't know when exactly he'll evolve but he dreaded that it wouldn't be too soon.

"Arry!" Fleur called out to him as he was taken back and stared at her.

"Are you okay?" She asked in concern seeing him spaced out

"I'm... fine... i need to go, I'll see you later" He was about to go but Fleur grabbed his arm as she could feel a magical pull.

"No your not, please Arry, I'm not frightened of what your becoming" She said in a soothing voice Hoping to calm him down.

"How can you be sure? what if I can't control being what i am? what happens if you look into my eyes and die on the spot... didn't you hear what the letter your father said? I'm part Phoenix and part basilisk" He said with the last one with disdain in his voice inwardly cursing the basilisk.

"Arry listen, I can help you be able to to control what your becoming I'll try to ask my father if there is a cure to help you remove this condition from you" Said Fleur holding both his hands which started to calm him down as he looked softly at her he decided to take a deep breath and relax.

"Okay, okay... your right, try to message your father if there is a cure to reverse this" He said seeing her nod

"I'll see what I father can do" She spoke promising to help her future mate undo whatever it was he was becoming.

"Thanks Fleur i need to go and get my mind off this and be aware of the changes i might go through" He said walking out her room as she reached for a piece of paper and Quill writing to her father quickly.

( With Harry)

Outside of The carriage Harry walked fast heading back to the castle but paused when he noticed a small trail of Arcomantula's flee from the sight of Harry as they ran to the dark forest.

He was very worried at what he was becoming, he hoped there was a cure for this to undo this, if not.. he is stuck like this for the rest of his life, enough was already on his plate he has Voldemort chasing after him and the last thing he wanted is to become something very terrifying.

He didn't know who to trust with this information aside from Fleur, he trusted her and is keeping his secret, he couldn't trust Hermione or Ron but he knew better that Hermione was smart enough to know he's hiding something from her and Ron. He didn't want to tell Dumbledore, He couldn't tell McGonagall, or even Hagrid, it seemed the only person he could turn to was Sirius his godfather maybe Sirius could shed some light on situation. Yes Sirius could definitely help, Harry decided to write to Sirius at midnight while everyone is sleep and have Hedwig send him his letter.

Later that night

He had written to Sirius and sent his owl to meet his godfather. Now going to sleep getting over his worries he had avoided both Ron and Hermione all day he didn't know how he was going to face them but hopefully he prayed they wouldn't notice a thing he would have to make up for his sudden disappearance but he isn't ready to tell them the truth yet.. but something told him that eventually his secret will be revealed and his transformation is proof of that.

It was morning

He woke up looking around and noticed Ron was still sleep as well as the others, Harry went to the bathroom to go brush his teeth, looking into the mirror to start brushing he paused and looked into the mirror his eyes there was something about them... yes they remained green but that's not what freaked him out it's his pupils that changed they were slit like, as if he had slit eyes of a Snake then he noticed something in his hair he had a small patch of red feathers in the middle of his hair but was covered and hidden by his mess of black hair he hoped no one would notice he would have to wear a hat just to be on the safe side.

Things just couldn't get any worse can it as a knock on the door interrupted him.

"Oi Harry you in there?!" Said Ron

"Erm... Erm Yeah! what is it!" Harry shouted

"Hurry up will you besides me and Hermione have been looking for you all day yesterday! and are you coming over to see puts there name in the goblet of fire?" Asked Ron

Harry remained silent he didn't want to imagine the look on Hermione's face when he meets her at breakfast and he couldn't avoid them a 2nd Time.

"I'll be there today" He spoke.

"Just don't panic, just don't panic remain calm and face Hermione and Ron.. and don't tell them what I've discovered... hopefully I'll be fine" Harry thought mentally taking a deep breath and relax as he finished brushing his teeth least he was glad that his eyes weren't yellow or that he had basilisk fangs.
