Lily paused trying to answer the professor's added question. After gathering her thoughts Lily replied, "Is is considered a curse because it prevents the person being attacked by the curse from doing anything, like casting a defense charm or getting away?" Lily wasn't quite sure but that made sense to her.

Lily had to think on this question for a while. What would make a wizard/witch dark? After a while of thought while in the tree pose, Lily raised her hand carefully, as to not knock herself over. "I think the intent behind the spell would cause the person to be considered dark. Like if someone said a spell and meant to cause harm, they might be considered dark." Lily replied trying to stay upright even though she had done yoga many times before.
