Dumbledore had arranged that the friends take the fourth year classes because otherwise they'd be behind. The friends found this highly amusing as they had never done first year or third. The friends were on their way to the defence against the dark arts classroom. Every house was taking this class together and not many of them liked it or the teacher although maybe that was just the first class, this was their second and the students were surprisingly willing to give their teacher a second chance.
"Today I will be putting each of you under the imperious curse," Moody said. It reminded the friends again of the way that everything that happens here isn't exactly what happens in the book or the film, it just followed the basic idea. Ella and Hermione's hands shot up.
"But sir, you said that the use on another-" Hermione started.
Ella cut her off, "Human being was illegal!"
"If you'd rather find out the hard way that's fine by me, Miss Young, Miss Granger, you're excused," Moody said. Hermione turned pink and muttered that she didn't want to leave but Ella held her head up high and marched out. Hermione followed timidly behind.
"I can't believe him!" Ella exploded.
"Me neither!" Hermione agreed. "Ooh...Ella? What are your views on house elfs?"
"It's so unfair how they're treated!" Ella complained, suppressing a smile; she'd joined fake S.P.E.W groups before but here she was about to joint start it with Hermione Granger!
"Let's go to the library," she said. "We're going to make a stand."

Back in the classroom, Moody was having far too much fun making people do embarrassing things.
"Mr Perez, your turn," Moody said. Evan walked to the clearing that Moody had made. He felt cold dread settle in him as he remembered that this man was actually a death eater.
"Imperio!" Moody incanted. Evan prepared himself for a voice inside his head but nothing came. He frowned and tried to think of what might have happened. No conclusions came to mind so he made a mental note to ask the girls later. "Look at that! Perez fought the curse!"
"Miss Brennan, your turn," Moody said. Eloise stepped up. "Imperio!"
'Use the reaction you use when you have a cat nearby' a voice in Eloise's head said. She screamed and jumped up onto a table. The rest of the class laughed and Eloise went beet red. The lesson carried on like this. When the bell rang, the entire class left eagerly. The friends met up with Harry and Ron.
"He's mental!" Ron exclaimed. The others nodded in agreement.
"Where d'you reckon Hermione and Ella are?" Harry asked. Ron shrugged.
"Probably already at lunch," Jocelyn said. They all sprinted down to lunch where the two girls actually weren't.
"You don't reckon Hermione's taken Ella to the library?" Evan said with a smirk.
"Well we've lost Ella forever if she has," James joked. The others laughed and all of them started eating. They were just about to leave when they saw Ella and Hermione sprint into the hall.
"Where've you been?" Ron asked with his mouth full of food. Hermione looked at him in revulsion.
"Well, we've been at the library," Ella said. The others grinned.

Later that evening all of the friends (bar Hermione and Ella) were sat up in the Gryfindor common room doing their divination homework.
"Are you sure we're allowed up here?" Eloise asked. She didn't particularly like breaking the rules.
"Positive," Ron answered.
"I think I'm going to drown in the black lake because someone I thought was a friend chucked me in there," Lebron said with a yawn. All of them had been working away for the past hour making up random potential miseries. Hermione and Ella then entered the room. Ella sat down on the arm of Eloise's armchair. Ella peered over at her friend's work.
"You're getting attacked by a cat twice," Ella observed.
"Well yes they're very evil!" Eloise defended. Ella smiled to herself.
"Isn't it obvious you've been making them up?" Hermione asked Ron after reading through his predictions.
"Hey, we've been working like house elfs here!" Ron exclaimed. Hermione raised her eyebrows at him. His gaze turned sheepish. "It's an expression."
"What's in the box?" Harry asked Hermione.
"Funny you should ask," Ella said, shooting Ron a reproving look. Hermione opened up the box to reveal some badges.
"Spew?" Ron asked.
"S.P.E.W!" Ella and Hermione retorted hotly. "Society for the protection of Elfish Welfare!"
Ron snorted.
"Well, Hermione wanted to put 'Stop the outrageous abuse of fellow creatures'," Ella said with a giggle. Hermione nudged Ella with her elbow. "But it wouldn't fit; shame."
"How many members have you got?" Ron asked.
"If you lot join, eleven," Hermione answered. Ron snorted. "Ella and I are presidents."
"Isn't there only supposed to be one president?" Lucas asked.
Ella scrunched her face up at him, "It's our club, we can do as we please!"
Once the two girls had got the others to join, they decided it was time for bed. Once they were out of earshot of the golden trio, Evan asked the question that had been plaguing him.
"Hey, do any of you know why when I was under the imperius curse, I couldn't even hear what I was meant to do?" Evan asked.
"Cuz you need hearing aids!" Lucas said and then started laughing heartily. James allowed himself a small snort.
"Why are you even still with us?" Lebron asked him in annoyance. He jerked his thumb back towards the portrait hole. "Your dormitory is that way!"
"Oh yeah! Night bois!" he said and left them.
"You're a natural occlumens!" Ella squealed in excitement.
"In English?" Evan asked.
"It means that people can't get inside your head, it'll be a very useful skill," Rhianna assured him.
