To say Malachi was relieved most of the students would be going home for the Christmas was an understatement. With the castle nearly empty, it would be easier for him to get a better look into things. It meant less time at home with his family but when you had giant spiders crossing the grounds because of a "danger" then...well...it was worth it.

With the last of the students filed in and the clock striking the hour, it was time to put all the worrisome thoughts aside and begin the lesson. First order of business? The Headmaster flicked his wand and the door slammed shut. It would no longer be possible for anyone to enter but he would take the roll and those missing would need to have a word with him in his office later.

Never something he looked forward to.

"Right then, let's get started." Malachi closed the top of the box, shrunk it and stuck it in his pocket. They weren't the focus of the lesson and were no longer the students' concern. They were his headache now.

The pile covered by cloth in the corner remained ignored. There was no need for a reveal just yet. "As you would all know from the readings, the day's lesson will be on dark wizards. Before we get into any real discussion based on that reading I know you great, hardworking students definitely did, I'd like you to name a dark wizard that you know of or an action that would get you labelled a dark wizard."

Best to start out small and work their way outward.

Eni always gets startled by the slam of the door when the Headmaster flicks his wand. She almost glared at him for aggravating her already growing headache, almost.

Sitting up straighter in her seat to seem like she was paying attention she looked around to see if any arms had shot up. Goodness knows there's got to be a few. Her own hand went up slowly on it's own accord as she yawned and looked just past the Headmaster. This headache really was a drag. "Well Professor," she began when she was called upon, "to bring up a previous Professor from here at Hogwarts there's Severus Snape a known ex-Death Eater and eventual spy. There's not much reported on him, but his affiliates and alias The Half-Blood Prince were known by enough to have some hung some nasty laundry out to dry." Eniola crinkled her nose as if she could smell the aforementioned laundry right then. "As for what you have to do to be considered a dark wizard, you simply have to practice the Dark Arts or commit an Unforgivable Curse in my books. Both of those things are choices you make, there's no accidents with that."
