December 16th, 1889 — Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom
"...but though they are widely considered to be unforgivable, as their name implies," the professor continued his lecture, "the very existence of these curses implies that there must have been a motive for their creation. As such, this shall be your challenge: to determine a situation in which the Unforgivable Curse of your choosing would be, in fact, if not forgivable, then at least justified. Your position will be defended in front of the class the day we return from the Christmas holidays, so if you will be returning home for the recess, I would encourage you to visit the library this week to ensure you have the materials you need."
Open to all students in years 3-5. 5-15HP for a completed oral essay, 50-100 words in length. An extra 15HP available if you complete a 7+ post thread where your student is working on this essay—please provide the link!
