"No, thank you, Professor." she replied. "I'm fine."
Calm down, Ellie!

OOC: Feel free to tell what your character thinks are dark arts. Discussion is fine. Chatter is not. 
Elise looked up at Professor Glass as she asked a question. Now are all curses bad? Raising her hand, she answered as best she could.
"The dark arts... That's magic, used for cruel purposes. I don't think that any spell would be dark, Professor. It would depend on the caster's intention." "Like the unforgivable curses for example. They were all invented for medical purposes. So if used to the right extent, they wouldn't actually bring harm to anyone. So, Dark Arts would be a rather gray area?" she asked.
