Before Fina went on though about cryptic messages, she heard what Elijah had to say about practical uses for Arithmancy and frowned. "That's not Arithmancy, and I would prefer if you keep discussions of romantic pairings outside my classroom. Or better yet, outside the castle walls." And that was ALL she was going to say about that discussion. Back to the class at hand. "So first, before we talk about breaking curses, which if we don't get to that this lesson, then we have the whole term..." Hadley continued. "We need to know what is a curse? And how to recognize when someone or something has been cursed. So what's a curse?"
Sarah beamed back... she had read the textbook after all! She wrote down notes on curses. "Curses are one of the seven types of spells and the worst form of dark magic, or as I should say, the darkest. They are used with evil intention, mostly to harm, control or unfortunately kill"'
Then she went on " depending on the type of curse there are various symptoms, like in the curse of the bogies the victim has boogers running from its nose, while a Cruciatus curse victim show symptoms of being tortures. A person under the babbling curse will babble whenever they speak, a leg locker curse would lock legs together so the victim will probably be bunny hopping. A hair loss curse will make hair fall out and..." Sarah thought she had given enough examples, " if a person has been killed by avadra kadavra, there will be no signs of any trauma, but a shocked expression on their face"
