Miranda raised her hand again, she just had to add one more thing, "Ecxuse me Professor, wanted to add that the Ministry classification of the Inferi are 5 X:s...That's the highest rating there is..." No need to say that it's superduper dangerous. "That's because they are unruly and impossible to control, unless you actualy have the power to..."
And to answer his new question, "It's Necromancy, sir," she paused with her hand in the air, "though I think that was intentionally used to bring the dead back, but like the way those people were before... But since it doesn't work, you end up with Inferi." Eh, it ididn't hurt to add that last bit.
"Thank you for the elaboration Miranda. So two points for Hufflepuff." Lawson nodded at her answer regarding Necromancy. "Necromancer's are born not made, so it is extremely hard to use that branch of magic. I have known of a couple of very powerful necromancer's that can not only raise the dead but can get zombie's to talk and think, if only for a small period of time. Inferi are the result of a dark wizards form of necromancy so it is not entirely the same thing. Which is why Inferi are more puppet like."

"The resurrection stone does not actually animate a dead body Rafe." Lawson let out a small sound of exasperation. "That's exactly what we are talking about...Dark Creatures."
"One point to each of you that answered. "He moved towards the front of the class and glared at the students sitting in front of him. "Okay I know it's not exactly fun to be sitting here and writing stuff down all class when I know what you really want to do is get out your wands and hex each other. But there areas in this class where you will need to sit and listen. So I suggest you all suck it up and get used to it."
Marcus, would have preferred to be using his wand also but seeing how he couldn't find it then everyone else was going to have to deal as well. Taking a deep breath and then letting it out slowly, he continued.
"Some of you mentioned that the Inferi fear light. So what kind of spells could we use to ward off Inferi?"
