I don't think you can be unaware of that kind of evil. I think that it, yes, it was an everday occurance, but I don't think that they thought it was okay for them to do. I think, they got pleasure from it and that's why they did it."

"I understand what you're saying; I think my ideas were worded poorly," Audrey said while she blushed in a deep red, "I do think that a lot of it has to do with morals. We're brought up knowing that the unforgivable curses are horrible things. But someone brought up by dark wizards may not believe that. Sure, they are evil, but like I said, it's all subjective and it's necessary to think about how the enemy feels. Just as we believe in a cause, they believe in a cause too. Both believe they are right. But what is 'right,' really? Also, it could be something to do with 'mob mentality,' which is when people act differently when they're in a large group or 'mob.' When Voldemort was in power, his followers supported him firmly, because they were so large in number. Once Potter defeated him, Voldemort went into hiding and then the 'mob' was gone - now, they would never do the things that they had done before."

Realizing that she had done very little to prove her almost non-existent point except ramble offtopic, Audrey's face reddened even more. Angry that she could not sort out her thoughts properly, she began to doodle fiercly in her notebook.
