Now, then, listen up.  I don't want to have to be saying this twice.

Fifth Year - Lesson 1

Many spells require specific items to help make the spell work.  Likewise, potions require more than water to work.  To that end, many magical creatures have their parts harvested for spell components.

The method of harvesting depends on the type of wizard.  Most good wizards will take items from beasts dead from natural causes.  Or, if it be a feather or such, will try to gather the item where it may have fallen in a nest.

Dark wizards care nothing for the life of another creature, and think nothing of slaying a creature to take what parts they want, be it blood or heart.

Of course, sometimes good wizards may desire a part harder to come by, such as a heart.  To that end, some wizards may breed the beast, just as Muggles breed cows for their parts.  Still, even then they will show caution, for as not to ruin their souls in the quest for magic.
