You unlock all 3 Unforgivable Curses in Sebastian's Relationship questline. Side quests in Sebastian's questline are titled with "In the Shadow of."
During In the Shadow of the Study and In the Shadow of Time, you're merely presented with the dialogue option to learn Crucio and Imperio, respectively. Learning the spells is not necessary to complete the quest, so it's entirely optional.
Dialogue Choices and Consequences
If you chose not to learn the Unforgivable Curses during their respective quests, you can learn them from Sebastian by talking to him at the Undercroft at any time after completing the quests. However, this option will no longer be available if you choose to turn Sebastian in during In the Shadow of Fate.
