"So. . . do any of you know which curses are most heavily punished by wizarding

law?" said Moody.

Several hands rose tentatively into the air, including Ron's and Hermione's. Moody

pointed at Ron, though his magical eye was still fixed on Lavender.

"Er," said Ron tentatively, "my dad told me about one . . . Is it called the Imperius

Curse, or something?"

"Ah, yes," said Moody appreciatively. "Your father would know that one. Gave

the Ministry a lot of trouble at one time, the Imperius Curse."

Moody got heavily to his mismatched feet, opened his desk drawer, and took out a

glass jar. Three large black spiders were scuttling around inside it. Harry felt Ron

recoil slightly next to him - Ron hated spiders.

Moody reached into the jar, caught one of the spiders, and held it in the palm of

his hand so that they could all see it. He then pointed his wand at it and muttered,

"Imperio!"

The spider leapt from Moody's hand on a fine thread of silk and began to swing

backward and forward as though on a trapeze. It stretched out its legs rigidly, then

did a back flip, breaking the thread and landing on the desk, where it began to

cartwheel in circles. Moody jerked his wand, and the spider rose onto two of its

hind legs and went into what was unmistakably a tap dance.

Everyone was laughing - everyone except Moody.

"Think it's funny, do you?" he growled. "You'd like it, would you, if I did it to

you?"

The laughter died away almost instantly.

"Total control," said Moody quietly as the spider balled itself up and began to roll

over and over. "I could make it jump out of the window, drown itself, throw itself

down one of your throats. . ."

Ron gave an involuntary shudder.

"Years back, there were a lot of witches and wizards being controlled by the

Imperius Curse," said Moody, and Harry knew he was talking about the days in

which Voldemort had been all-powerful. "Some job for the Ministry, trying to sort

out who was being forced to act, and who was acting of their own free will.

"The Imperius Curse can be fought, and I'll be teaching you how, but it takes real

strength of character, and not everyone's got it. Better avoid being hit with it if you

can. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" he barked, and everyone jumped.
