Jake smiled at the younger Hufflepuff. He appreciated that. "I'm pretty sure that the one accused wouldn't be left on their own long enough to get to them."

On the subject of the statute, Jake shrugged, and voice his opinion VERY carefully. "The statute was necessary... not only were kids being persecuted for being different, muggles would bug wizards and witches and I think there was a major thing with the King and Queen of England or something which made it necessary. There were so many reasons. Even now... people are so intolerant to different 'kinds' of people."

That much was obvious.

And PHEW. Jake had managed to talk without making his own opinion on the matter obvious.

"I think you're forgetting the fact that the people who could, did use the flame-freezing charm. And since Wendelin the Weird did it so many times, and we know from history that the muggles carried on witch-burning... it worked. Using a charm and then pretending to burn and then disguising themselves or leaving town," Jake explained, only really wanting to point out that little fact. He... more or less agreed with the rest of what he was saying. "Point is, not everyone could use that. People did die, kids and adults alike; not everyone could save themselves."

This... was turning into a morbid, and slightly confusing, discussion... Probably Jake's fault. He looked up at Professor Welton. They were gonna start going round in circles. HALP, PROFESSAHHHHH!
