Tris felt irritated.
There was nothing wrong with Moody!
Tris confirmed that during their first Defense Against Dark Magic lesson. Just as in the film, Moody explained the Three Unforgivable Curses in detail during his first class and demonstrated them right in front of the students.
Unlike what Tris remembered, the guy actually used the Imperius Curse on the students, too, letting them try to resist it. Yet aside from Tris, who did not participate, not a single person could resist.
"If your willpower is strong enough, you can resist the Imperius Curse. But as fourth-years, you may still fall a little short," Moody had told them.
Everyone except Tris was deeply shaken. Some were unconvinced, though, since Moody had not let Tris try. They thought Tris might well be able to withstand it.
Tris was not particularly interested.
He had learned the Three Unforgivable Curses long ago. He simply lacked opportunities to put them into practice. As for resisting them, with his Thought Maze, the Imperius Curse had no effect on him whatsoever.
What concerned him was that Barty Crouch Jr. had not appeared.
He had even checked the Marauder's Map specifically and confirmed that the name Barty Crouch was nowhere in Hogwarts Castle. That had left his mood decidedly unstable lately.
And that instability was easy for those close to him to notice.
"Tris, why have you looked so unhappy these past few days?" Harry asked one morning during the second week of term, having made the rare effort to get up early for a morning run.
"It's nothing." Tris shook his head.
"You keep saying that, but you haven't been yourself since term started," Ron said with a frown. "We're brothers. What could you possibly not tell me?"
I really can't tell you about this.
With that
