3rd experiment

Setting aside Inquisitor Douchecanoe for the moment--and setting aside the fact that I don't know what a douchecanoe is supposed to be--what is this about dark magic? It seems to have been confirmed by several students and a professor from what I've seen, but I had not heard a thing about it before coming here.

Is it safe at Hogwarts?

Dark magic is generally any sort of magic forbidden by the ministry because it involves a) the torture of another, be it mentally or physically, b) the enslavement of another, be it mentally or physically, or c) the taking of another's life. It includes, but is not limited to: blood magic, soul magic, psychomagics, and necromancy.

Such things are not taught, nor allowed at Hogwarts.

Yet people are saying such things happened over the summer.

Not at Hogwarts. At a camp out in the woods, not monitored by the Hogwarts staff.

Ah, that's better then. The woods are a known danger. We should at least be safe within the castle itself, yes?
