After copying down the notes from the board Emily considered the questions.... There was so much to think about, so many aspects to consider...
Why are brilliant witches and wizards drawn to the dark arts? she asked herself....
"I suppose brilliant minds are drawn to the dark arts because regardless of how dark it is, it is powerful magic. Brilliant minds could appreciate it in a way because it is stronger and more difficult that other forms of magic so it may be viewed as a challange. Also most would not have the courage or the ... well they wouldn't posses the characteristics required to perform such dark magic." Emily thought about what she said for a moment... "Does that make sense?"
.........."Good people don't do dark magic... but brilliant minds may be swayed to do so because it shows strength and power?"
