Random GoF thought

urbandruidIt's weird how things hit you.
I've been playing around with some HP stuff today, mostly in my head. I hopped in the shower with one of my GoF/OotP-era stories on the brain, trying to puzzle some stuff out.
And as I was drying my hair, out of the blue comes the following thought, re Moody and the DADA job.
In the first 3 books, when the kids say "they say the job's cursed", I took it for your usual school kid gossip. Forgetting, I guess, that this is a universe in which things (and, I guess, school teaching positions, too) can be cursed.
So it occurs to me... Moody's got to know this, right? He certainly pays attention to that sort of thing.
Which begs the question, what the hell was he smoking when he took the job?
I honestly figure, he has to really trust Dumbledore.
...Or he did, before that. Yeah, nice going, DD.
DD: It'll be fine.
9 months later:
Moody: !@#$
DD: Oh dear. Would you like some help out of that trunk?
