Severus was still staring at his student.
"Explain that in more detail."
Harry shifted nervously on his bed. He wasn't feeling well right now. But he had promised his teacher.
“Somehow I don't even know where to start. The best thing is if I fall with the door in the house.
Do you still remember Quirrell? "
A snort was enough for the boy to answer.
"Um, well, yes. no matter what you are about to hear, please do not interrupt me, otherwise I will completely lose the thread. "
The man nodded at the pleading look.
“Well, you know, Professor Quirrell was a smart man. shortly after his death I received a letter from Gringotts. It said I was Quirrell's heir. He explained this in more detail in an enclosed letter. the professor said that whoever freed him from his existence as a possessed person would inherit everything from him. "
Severus was about to say something but was interrupted by his student.
“Please Professor, I'll explain it in a moment.
The letter said that Quirrell had done everything possible to prevent the takeover of his body. When he realized that he would not have enough strength, he put all his research into safety and wrote his will. the man knew that he was going to die, he was being eaten up by the alien spirit in the truest sense of the word. When Voldemort called himself a parasite, he wasn't lying.
shortly after the letter everything that the professor had in his private rooms appeared with me. "
Harry stopped because he had to stop Beast from nibbling on the sheets.

Severus was more than amazed at what he had heard. he never expected Quinius to be so prescient. Apparently he had underestimated the man.
"I assume that the book you have in your hand is from him?"
Harry looked at his lap and nodded.
“Yes, and this is where things get interesting for you. This book is all about black magic. Quirrell was a really brilliant researcher. By the way, it was also his goal to reunite the two branches of magic. "
"And what's in it?"
the boy had to suppress a laugh. His teacher was just as curious as he was.
“What I said before. Not all Unforgivable are black magic. The Crucio is a white magic spell. and the fact that you, as an expert in the field of dark magic, do not know that proves to me that you never used that saying. "
“Of course not, I have never used any of the three spells. but I never would have thought that the saying is white magic. "
"Why then? White and black are just words, it has nothing to do with the fact that one magic is evil and the other is not, we have already clarified that.
it is much more that white magic is based on physical strength and black on that of the spirit. That is why many white magicians are very muscular, while black magicians are rather thin. "
Severus looked annoyed at the boy.
"Would you please stop teaching me about things I already know."

“I'm sorry, I didn't want to teach you, I wanted to teach Blacky. He doesn't seem to have known yet.
all right, the reason black magic was banned is far simpler than anyone thinks. It has to do with the witch hunt in the Middle Ages. There were a lot of wizards back then who were bad at Muggles. they didn't really have anything to fear but it was annoying. After all, you had to hide. This caused resentment and after a while the attacks on Muggles who burned alleged witches increased. priests in particular were affected.
The ministry wanted to prevent further clashes, so they created an enemy that did not exist until then. "
For both Severus and Blacky, the lights lit up.
"So they just banned some of the magic to prevent muggles from being attacked?"
"I agree."
“But why the black magic? Is that also in the book? "
"Indeed. The rulers at the time were all white magic. this applied to a large part of the population. Especially because back then you didn't have as many amenities as you do today. If you had a strong body, you had a better chance of survival. above all, you were better protected against diseases. So you just portrayed a minority as evil. And the muggles were no longer an issue. A very popular concept, not just with magicians.
In the course of time the real reason for this measure has been forgotten and it has always been considered true. This is how the black magic families developed. and since they thought black magic was evil, they simply labeled any spell that did bad things as black. The ministry didn't want to get it right either, otherwise they would have had to admit a mistake. "
