Genny Tate was GLARING at her. Glaring at her, and Katy really found it amusing. She dug her knuckles into her clay rock until it was a clay pancake and griiiiiinned away at the Gryffindor. Why was it so so so EASY to light the fuse on those lion dorks?

But then Katy gave her answer and Angelo's lip twitched slightly. He definitely heard his uncle Robert in that answer.

"Careful, Katherine: I work at the ministry, remember." Angelo said mildly. So was he a hack to his small cousin's mind? Amusing.

"For now lets go over what is required for dark spells to work. As with any spell, you need a wand movement, and an incantation. We also know that the intent is important. But when it comes to dark magic, there is a fourth factor to successfully cast a dark spell without it backfiring in some way. Can anyone guess what that fourth factor might be and why that fourth factor is necessary?"

Angelo got a flat look. Silliest of silly boy cousins. "Careful, Angelo. You could do better." Everyone knew it... or at least her parents knew it and were willing to say something about it. Angelo didn't have to do government work and was probably wasting his very good talents on that kind of job.

His lecture on the dark arts was interesting, though, and Katy dropped her chin on her fist and regarded him with a level gaze. Her pancake was perfect and Angelo had already said she didn't need to take notes, so... no need to do anything but watch her cousin as he spoke. "I would think that if 'intent' is the desire to cast the spell, like to really and truly do it well, then you'd also need to have some level of capability. You don't jump into an advanced spell as a first year, and you wouldn't be able to cast a challenging dark spell just because you want to if you haven't developed sufficient prowess and skill along the way."
