SPOILER!!: Jonas! No question is a stupid one ;) Quote:

"Honestly Professor, I never really thought about it. I mean they're really no harm to us. I mean, I guess they're alright. " Jonas then had a question. "Professor....I read somewhere that all witches and wizards are related in some way. If that's the case then how did we end up with muggles if it seems witches and wizards existed sense ancient times?"
Then again....oy. Jonas felt stupid for asking such an obvious question.
What an interesting question. Kay took a moment to get her answer together before addressing Jonas and the class in general. “That question would go all the way back to ancient times as you said, yes. It would seem as though some were fortunate to be born with magical blood while others were not. I’m not saying that it’s unfortunate to be a Muggle but I know some of them would like to have the abilities you do and would consider you as fortunate.’’
As if to expound on her answer, Kay called upon Paige next. “Yes! An excellent way to put this, Ms Skeeter. So you see, Mr Emery, we may have that magical ability but it just comes down to genes in the end. We share the same blood and all.’’
SPOILER!!: Muggles are: cool, wonderful! Quote:

Juno raised her hand, and politely waited to be called on. When it was her turn, she answered, "Well, I think Muggles, though lacking in magic like ours, have magic and talents of their own that can be commended. I mean look at all of the technology they created! Also, just because they don't have magic, doesn't mean they aren't good people, I mean they do make up the majority of the world. Part of my family were muggles at one point. So...muggles are cool." She was sure she would get some looks for that bit, but she didn't care. Muggles and wizards shouldn't be kept from each other.

She raised her hand and stared to speak.
"Growing up Professor, My Mom and Step Dad, Aunt and Uncle, even my Grandparents all taught me to love and respect muggles. As Paige said.." Azura nodded at the Hufflepuff in respect. "The only difference is that we have a magical gene and they do not. Nothing else. So I think they are wonderful, because we could have easily been them. "
She had said her piece, all of the blood purity in the world made her sick.. Quote:

And now she was ready for when Professor Stewart called for their attention and started the lesson. A discussion-based class. Cassie couldn’t help the small face she had before realizing it. Okay so she liked learning regardless, but activities often made it more interesting or more understandable if you were struggling on getting the topic.
As for the question she posed before all the students, the Ravenclaw paused in thought. How SHE thought of muggles. Well for one she agreed with what some were saying about everyone being pretty similar from either side. And that it didn’t much matter. “Um…I see Muggles as just a bit different. But not a bad different. They certainly have cool qualities.” Cassie had grown up exposed to a mix of both worlds even if both her parents were pretty ensconced in the Wizarding World. She definitely wasn't one of those who disliked Muggles.
Kaysha beamed. “I’m quite happy to hear about that! I hope that you’ll use these thoughts of yours to persuade your peers or anyone not fond of Muggles to change their way of thinking.’’
SPOILER!!: Pity Quote:

Blaise leaned back in his seat, not bothered by the lack of projector today. His quill had made note of it but that was about it, the only lasting memory there would be that this particular class had no visuals.
"I think I pity them Professor. They make up most of the world but they're the least advantaged." Ironic coming from the kid who disliked using magic, considering the criteria for this assessment was their lack of magic. "It's like....they don't get any of the amazing stuff we have. Like quick quotes quills and magical creatures and artifacts that do epic things." Note he didn't say 'they can't use magic'. That wasn't necessarily a disadvantage to him.
"We get to know about their world and see what they have to offer but there's this whole statute of secrecy that prevents them from knowing anything about our world. There's no equal sharing of information--and it's their fault. I think they're an ignorant set that destroy what they don't understand or can't themselves possess so maybe in the end I don't pity them that much." He didn't think much of them in truth. Quote:

Were her feelings a little hurt by these responses? Yes, they were but Kay simply nodded. “I see. But muggles have survived all these years without magic. They have adapted to a life that many of them are comfortable with, inventing quite a few things to make their everyday work easier, for their entertainment and so forth.’’ She didn’t blame the students for thinking this way but here’s to hoping that they would change that. “You’re quite right, Mr Bellaire. The secrecy is to protect us since Muggles would be wanting magic to solve their problems or just for the fun of it. That may be so but in the end, we can all get along with each other without looking down on them.’’
SPOILER!!: Indifferent Quote:

What did he think about them though?
He didn't particularly harbour any malicious thoughts for them but he didn't care much for them either.
"I suppose I'm relatively indifferent to them professor."
The woman nodded with a slight smile. “I understand, Mr Bellaire- Moore.’’ She hoped with all her heart that Bentley’s reasoning would someday lead him more towards the love for muggles.
“Alright, everyone. I have a good idea of where you stand when it comes to the topic of Muggles. Now, we have mentioned the lack of magic that comes from them, which in my opinion is the sole difference between them and us. Can you tell me if you think you’d be able to live without magic?’’ Her eyes went to Blaise. Everyone knew how he felt about magic but she would still like him to elaborate a little on her question if he could. “I know that many of you are underage currently and you should have a fair amount of experience about not using magic out of Hogwarts. Comparing that experience with being able to use magic while being here, which do you prefer if you choose any? Not being able to do magic currently make you have a greater appreciation for Muggles?’’ OOC: Dahlings!  Hihihi! I love the responses! Such diversity  Anywho, you guys can expect another post in 24 hours as usual  |
