They want to harm people just to harm people, it gives them some strange satisifaction. Creating terror just because they can. Causing harm doesn't necessarily make one powerful, but that doesn't stop people from doing it."

Lucy perked up as he heard Jack speak. She agreed with him full heartedly, and it had been something that she'd been thinking about ever since Celandine spoke. Nodding, she added, "The satisfaction one gets from harming others can prove to be uncontrollable, too, just as power it is. When you harm a person, it basically says that the harmer is in control of the person which automatically means power. So harmful actions and gaining power come hand-in-hand."

Then she began to think about mentions of the ministry and their lust and obsessions for power. "As for the ministry and their power-lust, don't they make decisions that hurt others? So, really, with that in hand...power doesn't really define a dark wizard. The ministry isn't full of dark wizards, although it was at one point which was during Voldemort's reign. Nevertheless, it's safe to say that we can probably throw out power as one of the main components of a dark wizard. Power just helps uncover the darkness of a person. It does not fuel darkness." she said.
