"Sure, Raven... hex-deflection spells are any of a group of spells that will assist in rebounding spells instead of allowing them to hit you. Protego is one of those spells, and really one of the few easy enough for all levels of learners. Most stronger Dark spells are not stopped by a hex-deflector, but common curses and hexes are."

Terry raises her hand. "Professor, are there times when dark curses such as the Avada Kedavra curse can be considered a defensive spell? I mean if a wizard finds himself in a sitiuation where he only defense is the kill his opponent. Would he be in violation of Ministry law?" | |

Melanie looked down her her parchment. There were scribbles and some key words, but other than that she was terrible at taking notes. Maybe she could find someone to study with later...

It is like two people dueling and their friend puts hex on them so they don't get hit by any spells." | |

"You know, Terry, that's a subject for much debate. In my opinion, and the opinion of some of my peers, there is never a reason to use an Unforgivable. I think you can always find a way to defend yourself that doesn't take someone's free will, or torture them with unbearable pain, or take their life. How much easier or harder is it to cast a Stupefy on someone than it is to kill them? And yet... there are wizards out there who think the ends always justify the means, and that in stopping a Dark Wizard, it doesn't matter how you go about it. You are all welcome to believe as you like, but let me remind you of the old saying "Be careful that in fighting the dragon, you do not become the dragon."

Raven shook her head. "Out of all the spells in the world they would have to chose that spell to defend themselves. I would think it would still be a violation. There are many spells you can use to defend yourself in time of danger. That spell is forbidden and there are other ways to defend yourself than killing your opponet." | |

Lauren was talking notes and sitting, just listening, fasinated by how smart these people were. 'Someday I hope I'll be as smart as them.' Lauren thought to herself. She continued taking notes and couldn't wait to get the homework assignment so she could acually fell smart and earn some house points.

"I think Raven may be refering to defensive charms. They will protect a person from hexes like a shield charm. I don't know very much about them." | |

Sarah was awed by the proffesor's speech. She agreed that there was indeed no excuse to use a curse that could kill.

"I think using a Dark Curse from a lighter one seperates the Dark Wizard from the Light Wizard. The Light Wizard will always try to find a way to get around using dark curses, while a Dark Wizard could care less and use these spells at there advantage. I believe Light Wizards are selfless in their way of dueling. It is a very contriversial discussion of morality."

Listening to Professor Rae, Raven raised her eyebrow and wrote down that quote. "That is actually quite good,' she muttered under her breathe looking at Professor Rae. | |

Melanie raised her hand. "I agree. I don't feel that there's any reason to ever use the Killing Curse. It's not like in the muggle world where if two people have guns then one can shoot the other in self-defense. You can disarm a wizard."

'and wouldn't casting an unforgivable spell on somebody be the same as executing without trial?' Rosa added to raven's story. 'but if you could safe a lot of lives with it, what would you do? that'd really be a difficult choice, I think'

Rae smiled at Antwone's thought before continuing. "Let's move on so we have time at the end for something more interesting. Now... I know there is much debate on what is or is not a Dark Creature, so we're not even going to bother listing them today. Just tell me what you think would help to classify a creature as Dark."
ooc: You should know I have access to teh same resources as you, so any answers that appear striaght off a book or webpage do not get credit. I want YOUR thoughts and ideas.

Sarah raised her hand. "A creature with dark properties. Like a Kelpie. They kill, and don't help with anything."

Lauren raised her hand.
''Maybe if the creature has a dark wizard as a master that could classify them a dark..''

Antwone pondered on the thought of Dark Creatures deeply...what made a dark creature? Well, what makes a light creature?
