Curses?! Yes! He had always known that his aunt's specialty was in curse breaking. But try as he might, he'd never been able to get her to tell him about it. "You're too young," had always been the response. But now... He was at Hogwarts and she was teaching about it. This was going to be good.
Smile wide, he raised his hand. "
Curses are dangerous. They're spells, but not necessarily Dark Magic, I don't think." Because who would classify the Leg Locker Curse as Dark? "
Most people think of them as spells cast directly on a person to harm them, but they can also be used as a sort of trap. Like, you can place a curse on an object that may lie dormant for years until the right conditions occur." And THAT is why they were incredibly tricky to spot.
