1. An Introduction
!!! Dark Art: Term that covers anything that as an intent to harm, injure or even kill someone. !!!
a) The beginning
There is no begging, Dark Art as always existed, it is just like light. One can't exist without the other.
Dark Art is mostly used by those who want powers. Once you've started, you can't stop. The Dark Art will corrupt your soul. Just like it did with Tom Marvolo Riddle, more known as Voldemort. The scariest part? Dark Arts can NEVER be defeated, they can only be "hold back".
b) Some important dates
1981: Attack Harry Potter's family | Loses human form
1995 -1998: Voldemort workes to attain power after regaining human form
1997: Death eaters where in some significant place in the minister of magic | Voldemort pass several laws into action, laws that made Dark Art legal
1997-1998: Voldemort laws are official | Hogwarts is no longer teaching DADA, but "The Dark Arts", which taught the cruel and liberal use of some of the Darkest spells

II. The Hex: The second classification of Dark Spells| These can get a bit darker and often they will do more lasting damage | Ex: Bat-Bogey Hex, the Hurling Hex, and Densaugeo | They can be reversed by a Hex-breaker.
