What it sounds like and what it is are not the same thing. But it is exactly why Mummy gets an owl in the morning with her tea and I end up getting an impromptu visit from Mycroft. I do want to learn the Dark Arts but only to understand how they work, their signs, anything that will help me determine death via their usage. It’s sad that I may never be at the bad end of a crucio curse. Experiencing something like that is the best means of information one can hope to get—far better than simple first hand accounts.
