"Inferius Curse?" Neville blinked. "The kind of Dark Magic that creates Inferi?"
"Um... Dark Magic..." Alice Longbottom stroked Neville's head, concern in her voice. "Mr. Lovegood, do we really have to talk about this now?"

"Alright!" Neville nodded, his expression becoming focused.
He was slow at taking notes, so whenever he encountered a situation like this, he would always
