May I ask the class a question in return, Professor? If what makes you a dark wizard or witch for that matter," interjected the blond, a tiny little spark of feminism erupting within her. "Is using a so called dark spell with the intent to harm, maim, destroy, or...whatever it is you want to accomplish then wouldn't nearly everyone be a dark wizard? The way spells work is through intent. Isn't it?"
Then again, Daphne wasn't the brightest student in Hogwarts. That was Celandine Toussaint; whom she still didn't want to look at directly just yet. "So the minute you cast a spell--and that's guessing you're talented enough to do it right--and it harms another person, hypothetically speaking, you're a dark wizard?"
It didn't really make sense in her head. Perhaps she was over thinking it. "Practicing Dark Arts doesn't make you a Dark Wizard," concluded Daphne with a derisive snort. "It just makes you powerful. It's what you choose to do with that power that determines what kind of person you are." "Personally, I don't think so," Samson answered the girl. "I think, I mean, from what I know," dare he say he didn't exactly know much? "Spells do work on intent of the caster. Spells are supposed to do just that, aren't they? Do what the caster wants to be done. So doesn't the person in question, that is, the person casting the dark spell, have a choice to make? Like, you can choose to be evil and like what you're doing. As far as I know, none of the Death Eaters ever forced themselves to join. Forcing, I guess, is the job of the Imperius curse. And like I said, a person has to have that really eeeevil personality and attitude and whatnot.
"On that power part, I do agree."
Did what he say even make any sense? To him it did, anyway. Pfft.
He looked from the girl to the professor, and back again, giving her a 'Oh, hello there!' sort of grin. Heh.
