 Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia
Oh Merlin. Rula thought she had escaped those dreadful, boring Dark Arts classes when she'd left Durmstrang, but here it was again. Of course this lesson was Defense Against the Dark Arts - but there was a difference, specifically, defense. Not just plain old Dark Arts.
While yes, Rula agreed that intent and how a spell was used mattered the most in whether a spell was actually bad or evil - as so many others had repeated - there still were some spells and potions and other things that were, objectively, wrong and evil. Things like the Unforgivable Curses, for instance. Obviously Bast's cousin wasn't encouraging that sort of stuff, but still. She just wasn't interested in this subject on its own, and she didn't buy the idea that it was only about "thinking creatively," as if dabbling in the Dark Arts was the only way to be creative.
It was good that they had this clay stuff to play with, otherwise she would've had to sit and pretend she was interested, and she wasn't sure she could manage that with the mood she was in now. So she worked on it as the talking went on and on, at first trying to make it into a cat, but then changing her mind and deciding on a bunny since Rooney had mentioned one.
Maybe a bunny rabbit wouldn't use the Dark Arts, but it definitely could defend itself against them. Hmph.
