"My point is, I think it's better this way, to hide ourselves. Or just... our special part."

Not to mention that their incapacity to try to understand magic wasn't justification to kill those who use it. Eino abhorred cars, trains, airplanes, buses, and a lot of other muggle technology, but he didn't go around killing muggles who operated them.

~~YES THERE WILL BE A PERFECT WORLD WHEN ALL POGREBINS ARE CAPTURED!~~

"But if we expose ourselves... It's just so unexpected and is it worth it? What do we have gain? What can we do for muggles openly that we can't secretly?"

"Kurumi, the point isn't that we are somewhat, in your opinion, prisoners. The problem lies in what you said about riots and such. Yes, things will get better. But at what cost? I mean you have to weigh the fact that things getting better could be the extinction of the Wizarding World. In theory we would no longer have riots. People are understanding Kurumi, but if history has shown anything you only need one lunatic to kill thousands.

"I want as much as the next person for the Magical World to be out in the open. The problem is there is so much danger in it. I would like to say that the world could bve harmous, but that is niave. We would sacrifice thousands.

"So rushing into this decision is not a good thing. The two worlds would need to slowly introduce one another to the concept. Even then we all know people will die. Nothing can stop that. When people are different from what is concieved as normal people react poorly. And I am not just commenting on muggles. Wizards are guilty of prejudice as well. Something bad will happen. This debate is irrelevant to now because it could only really occur if the government was behind it. Even then... it would be a blood bath."

Kurumi listened to Helena, Eino, and Selina as they responded to her previous statements. Kurumi wasn’t even sure exactly where she stood on the issue logically. She knew precisely where she stood emotionally though and that was on the side of wizardingkind being out in the open. To her, it was more than just a matter of being allowed to perform magic in front of non-magical people. For her, it meant never having to wear brown colored contacts again, never having to turn in her wand when she returned home for the summer, it meant her freedom to be herself in her own home. Right now, she felt like she was being denied the ability to be herself. That is why she liked being at Hogwarts so much, she never had to wear brown contacts to hide her violet eyes and she didn’t have to worry about people judging her for being different.

She shivered a bit at the word.

“I am not saying that we all go out tomorrow with our wands held up in the air and performing levitation charms on everything we see just to show that we really exist,” Kurumi said more towards Selina than anyone else. “We have been discussing how witches and wizards have failed to keep out world a total secret from the non-magical world. It is a part of wizarding law that the British Prime Minister, all Prime Ministers and Presidents for that matter, know of our existence…so we know that there is at least one person of authority that will not condemn us. That’s better than nothing, isn’t it? Historically, some minorities didn’t even have that!”
