    I was re-reading the fourth book last night and while looking through it found something which I was curious about -- I've looked on a wiki, wikia, and other sites like that for the answer but couldn't see it there -- did Moody take the job of DADA Professor or was it the imposter that accepted the job? It's not very important but it was up on the list of one of those things that year which didn't get explained.

    If you would learn to read, you would read it in the fourth book, that Crouch Jr. attacked Moody at his home,defeated him and after the commotion he charmed the dust bins or what evers to randomly spit garbage at people. So the original Moody went to Hogwarts in the bottom of his trunk.

    Toodles.

    Moody accepted it, and Barty assumed his identity to get into Hogwarts. If it was another person who accepted the post, the same thing would have happened to them.

    What does that have to do with what I asked?

    I wanted to know if the origional Moody accepted the post, as it could've been the imposter who did it.

    Thanks for the other answer though.

    If you would learn to read, you'd realise that he asked who responded to the job offer rather than who went to Hogwarts.

    Yeah, sorry I was kinda distracted and thought I finished what I wanted to say-

    Anyway,here is the forgotten Part:

    When Mr. Weasley was called to Moodys to calm the bins, they already knew(at least the adults) that Moody will be the teacher. And at the end of the book Crouch Jr. under the effect of Veritaserum told them that Voldemort and Pettigrew "visited" him after the Quidditch World Cup. So we don't really know when Dumbledore asked him to do the job. He was an old friend, so maybe he talked him in person, I don't think Dumbledore would leave this kind a matter to a letter. If I had to decide, I would say, the real Moody accepted it, because the information had to filter out, to Voldemort to think about using Crouch Jr. impersonating him.

    Voldemort finds out from Bertha that Moody will be going to Hogwarts, he then proceeds to replace Moody with one of his minions, namely Barty Crouch Jr.

    I don't know where but I am pretty sure somewhere in canon it is said that Moody agreed to join as a favor to Dumbledore and because he was one of the few not afraid of the curse of DADA position.

    What Deoxys said. Also, the impostor replaced Moody close to the end of the summer; by that time, Dumbledore would have already found a DADA professor.

    What is said above, except it was Bertha Jorkins, not Bagshot.

    Fuck I knew I was forgetting something. Voldemort had them both kidnapped and both got a name with "B". Guess I got confused, sorry.

    It's worse than that...

    Bertha Jorkins was caught by Wormtail and had her memories scooped out. She was the nosy one that discovered Barty Crouch Sr. hiding Barty Crouch, Jr. at home. None of them ended well.

    Bathilda Bagshot was the author of 'A History of Magic', the one non-Potter at Harry's first birthday and the neighbor of the Dumbledore's who gave commentary for Skeeter's tell-all about Albus. She also was shelled to provide a human-suit for Nagini. Gruesome.

    Charity Burbage was the muggle studies professor who was actually kidnapped and suspended over the Malfoys table until Voldemort killed her and fed the body to Nagini. Draco's withering humanity being stoked is the only good in her death.

    And to add insult to injury, Bathsheba Babbling was the ancient runes professor. How she survived the war without being tortured is left unexplained.

    Someone other than me wanted the B's to suffer. And suffer they did.

    And Bill Weasley sympathizes, re: "suffering."

    The Bloody Baron will believe himself betrayed! Why do you boarishly besmirch his blue-blooded being by brushing him aside brazenly? How dare you bend backwards to boycott this brave brigant?

    Well, he's already dead... besides, this whole B-name curse might be his fault.

    Despite ill-conceived fanfiction to the contrary, it has never been a character in the Harry Potter world.

    Ever.

    No, not even in the epilogue.
