She was SURE they wouldn't enjoy this pose. It did require...balance.
"Ve're almost done. I promise. Just one more position. The tree pose. Hold your hands together like so..." Demonstration time! "Then take your foot, and carefully hold it over your knee." She would make it a little less difficult by keeping the hands mid-level and not above their heads like she was used to doing. Before their complains could fill her ears though, she continued on.
"So, ve've discussed the three categories for dark spells. The jinxes, in which cause damage or negative effects. The hexes, which are the simplest of malevolent spells to cast, most often having some sort of transfiguration or other negative effect. And then the curses, which almost always are intended to cause grave harm to the victim."
"However, is it just the spell itself that makes it dark? If a vitch or vizard used one of these spells, vould that automatically make them a dark person? Vot makes someone a dark vitch or vizard?"
Daisy changed into the 'tree pose'. Seriously, the yoga was harder than the questions, but then again, they were probably aimed at first years, and were helping to refresh her memory a little too.
'Not just the spell is bad, most of the time they are bad, but if used for defence, they can be acceptable. People like Aurors use curses legally against dark wizards,' she answers,
'It mainly depends on WHY they are using them, you know, their intentions,' Daisy was proud, she didn't think she knew this much on the subject, but she had read about it before,
'say they were just using them for fun, or for trying to take over the world... that's a bit over the top, but whatever, that's bad,' she said, trying to actually remember what the question was,
'but in defence, they're acceptable. Not always good, but acceptable'
