The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is located on the 1st floor. Windows line the far wall, and an iron chandelier hangs from the ceiling over many desks that all face the front where a single, larger desk that is slightly raised sits. On the desk there are quills in a jar of ink and papers neatly stacked on the corner of the desk. Sometimes, the professor's yellow-tinted owl will watch over the room while he is away. Behind the desk on a wall is a rack carrying a hat and large wizard coat. Usually, you will find, sitting in the comfy chair also behind the desk, the professor.

Lesson: So today your lesson is on How to Identify a Dark Creature.
First off, you will need to have a full recognition of what "Dark Arts" really means. It differs from other magic because of its intent. Magic can take many forms in good or bad or neutral ways. Though magic of the Dark Arts has a positively evil intention, most often to cause harm to a person.
So with that information, that will give you the basics of how to identify a Dark Creature.
Your book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, describes Dark Creatures as demons. In a non religious sense meaning they are really an animal, but another form of magical being. They're main difference from regular animals, that puts them in that category, is that they exist to actively do harm. You might say that some animals, in fact, many, animals do harm to people. That is true yes, but regular animals attack humans for food, or defense.
But Dark Creatures harm humans just to harm humans. Take a Hinkypunk for example. A one-legged creature that appears to be made of smoke and carries a light that it uses to lure travelers into bogs. Why does it lure travelers into bogs? Who knows, it just wants to cause harm to the traveler!
Some Creatures, like Pixies, can be debated, but are generally not thought of as Dark Creatures. Although they may cause harm by pulling little pranks and such, this is just regarded as rude mannerism.
Often Dark Creatures can be recognized by having differing life cycles from most animals.
That is our lesson for today, you should now know how to identify a Dark Creature.
