He'd just asked a whole LOT of questions, and he waited for the room to consider the ideas that had been shared, as well as his responses. Finally, he added, "Let's open this up to discussion... I'm not sure even I know the answers to all these questions, or that I can draw all the same parallels between these witches and wizards. Responses? Clarifications? Answer my questions, or answer a peer."
OOC: This is my last post for the night, but I encourage everyone to discuss at will. We will resume tomorrow at 6 pm EST. There is more discussion and an activity, so I encourage you to come back.
Cass, who had been silently fuming in her seat was listening to her classmates answers.
How there they insinuate that Slytherin was a house made especially for dark wizards! hmp!
She raised her hand and said in a clipped manner
"Professor, I sort of disagree with what my other classmates are saying. Not all Slytherin's are prone to the practice of dark magic, it just so happens that one Slytherin trait is that we Slytherins know what we want and we would use every means available to get it, and most of the time, the easiest way is the bad way." Then she took a deep breath to calm herself down and continued on
"I also think that most Slytherins are drawn more to power than evil in itself, therefore, they are drawn to dark magic because of the belief that 'it is better to be feared than respected'"
When she had finished, she sat down and silently glared at the chalkboard.
