Description
When the 94 school year began, like with any other year, all of the students gathered to the great hall at the beginning of term. This was an opportunity for Dumbledore and any professors to address the student body at the beginning of the year- announcing anything pertaining to the upcoming school year. And just like any other year, once again, a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher took over- which in this case was famed death eater Captor Alastor ‘Mad Eye’ Moody. He was in the business of capturing dark wizards, and business was booming. The prospect of having Alastor Moody teaching ‘defence against the dark arts’ was exciting-I mean, he was an expert after all, but at the same time there was something odd about Moody. From the moment he first enters the great hall, students are transfixed by him.
