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?" The Tree Pose
Sierra made a face as they were instructed to move into yet
another weird position. What was the purpose of this anyway?! To torture them?! That had to be it! Sierra moved her body into the tree position then glanced up at the professor. Merlin, she'd be sore tomorrow! It was all the professor's FAULT, too!!!
Finally, her hand went up.
"It's not just the spell that makes someone dark. The witch or wizard has to have an evil intent behind the casting, too," she explained.
"They have to really want to hurt someone just for...well, no reason. Just to. That's what makes them dark."
So did that mean she could randomly cast a hex one some unsuspecting Puffer, and as long as she 'really didn't mean to hurt them', it wouldn't count?! Hmm... It was something to think about.
