I believe, then, that the simplest route would be to lend you some books which might prove enlightening, and answer any questions you might have once you've completed them.

Unfortunately, my own set is incomplete at the moment, and Mozenrath has the library's collection. I will need some time.

I suggest you refrain from mentioning them to either Lucius or Bellatrix Lestrange for now. It was quite jarring to learn about them - or the movies based upon them.
