A Hex is a type of spell that is typically meant to cause a certain degree of pain and discomfort. Hexes are considered by some as a minor kind of Dark Magic, though they can be used in a defensive capacity. For instance, in 1996, Ginny Weasley gained a reputation for being an accomplished caster of the Bat-Bogey Hex after using it to free herself from Dolores Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad. Although there is no class that teaches Hexes, one can assume that students learn it from each other, much like Muggles learn a variety of things not taught by their teachers or parents, but, perhaps, siblings and peers.
