Liz nodded and took a seat.
"The first thing is... I would like to learn how to cast some of the darker spells available. The base knowledge of dark magic, I mean. I doubt I'm powerful enough to cast the stronger curses at this point."
She paused, taking in a breath. "The second... I have some sort of power I believe. When I was held captive with Estrella the first time, I managed to throw off the cruciatus curse after a period of time. This is going to sound like a bizarre request, but I'd like to learn how to develop this power. I believe practice may be the only way... so I was wondering if several times a week you'd be willing to cast it on me so I have the chance to develop the power I have."
