Stella had remained quiet during the debate about the Dark Arts in general, not because she had any reason to. Other than simply not feeling the need to repeat what others had said. She didn't liek feeling like she was taking somebody else's ideas and repeating them exactly, and after a point that was inevitable with that discussion. Dark creatures were something else entirely, though, and she found herself raising her hand. "Like has been said, specifically Dark creatures exist only to create chaos, harm and damage. They aren't predators in the sense that a predator hunts to feed, to surv ive. Dark creatures don't necessarily need to harm and kill for survival, they just do it for the sake of the action. They harm people or other animals just because they like to, just as the most important factor in the Dark Arts in general is the need for evil intent. Like Dementors or boggarts." At least, those were proably the more widely known, although there were definitely others. None of which she'd want to run into on a deserted road, even if she could cast a Patronus.
