Chelsea raised her hand. "The dark arts are mainly used to harm others. But it can also be used as protection as well. The magic its self isn't dark its what the wizard casting it chooses to do with it that makes it dark. The dark arts is also more than just spells it can be potions or objects or creatures as well. The practice of the dark arts is also generally illegal with a few exceptions. The use for the three unforgivable curses will lead to a life sentence in Azkaban though. The three categories of dark spells are jinxes, hexes, and curses. With curses being the worst. The last thing I will mention is sometimes the ministry will even encourage aurors to use dark magic against their enemies" she said. Chelsea didn't want to get into a debate she simply just wanted to state her opinion.
