Dark Arts ? That should not be so hard, she thought.

She raised her hand and waited for her turn to speak. When silence dawned upon the class, she decided to give out her answer.

"Professor Sarani, Dark Arts can be referred to as those magical practices, charms, equipments and spells that are used for bad or malicious purposes. Criminals often use these. And back to the time of the Boy who Lived, the Death Eaters are the ones who frequently use these activities, including of course the Dark Lord Voldemort." she looked at the class for a second and continued, "Magical Items and Spells can not be classified as bad or good. They are neutral. But since these are handled often in an illegal way, they are considered to be part of Dark Arts. Curses are some spells that had been considered as such since it was prevalent in usage among the those not aiming for good things. Though Dark arts are basically considered not good. It is still very important for us to be aware of its existence to protect ourselves from possible events associated with such." And that's where the class Defense against the Dark Arts comes to the light, she wanted to add. But chose not to since she thinks that her answer was long enough. After giving her idea, Beezus took her seat once more.
