THE CUTE LITTLE OTTER HOLOGRAM-THING.

Natalia giggled heartily as the otter patronus hopped on her shoulder and slid down her arm. She only hoped that her patronus was just as adorable and just as companion-worthy. Having never conjured a patronus in her life, Natalia eyed the professor's otter in awe as the little creature hopped around the room.

Dark magic? Popular to younger generation? Nope. Natalia certainly have never messed with that type of magic.

"Humans are naturally curious." Natalia gave a simple explanation, shrugging slightly afterwards to show her uncertainty of her own comment. It was understandable to her why wizards would like to discover more about dark magic: it was mysterious. Humans throughout history have tampered with the unknowns, the enigmas, the riddles, the secrets. For what reason? - that was among the most-asked questions. Natalia, being naturally curious herself, often asked herself these philosophical questions during her free time (when she was not paying attention in class).

"Or more accurately, it's a mixture of curiosity and self-benefit." The Lioness added to her response.
