Hogwarts Dark-Arts (Class)

Dark Arts was a class taught at several wizarding schools. Unforgivable Curses and numerous other forms of Dark Magic were taught in this class. It is possible that students were used as victims as a form of punishment.
==Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry==
===Salazar Slytherin===
Early after Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded, in c. A.D. 993, disagreements sprung up early around the teaching of the Dark Arts.Salazar Slytherin may have wanted to teach his students spells of which the other three founders disapproved, and it is a possibility that he had initially constructed the Chamber of Secrets as a place in which to teach the Dark Arts.
===1997-1998 school year===
During the 1997–1998 school year, Amycus Carrow was appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts, and changed the subject to just Dark Arts. The seventh years learned how to cast the Cruciatus Curse (which was to be practised on students who earned detention), and possibly how to conjure Fiendfyre and other Unforgivable Curses; Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were said to be top students due to their inclination to cruelty. However, Crabbe apparently did not pay attention to how to control or stop Fiendfyre, which was what led to his demise later that year in the skirmish in the Room of Requirement.After that year, Carrow was replaced and the subject returned to teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts.Accio Quote!
