"I think the Statute is still very relevant and we still need it. First of all it protects us from persecution, which I belive is still a threat to us, no matter how much muggles have changed over the years. They still fear difference and the unknown. But at the same time it protects muggles from the dangers of our world."
She stopped there, she could have kept talking non-stop for a good half hour but figured it would be best to giver her group members the opportunity to respond.
Mia nodded her head at Emily and picked up her quill and a piece of parchment. Ready to write down whatever they talked about.
Listening to what Emily had to say, Mia nodded her head again. "I agree. While yes muggles are more tolerant of what is not the norm and even the extraordinary. They are also a lot more..." She chewed on her quill for a moment while she thought. "How could I put this? A little cocky perhaps? I mean look at all the things they have invented and created over the years. It wouldn't surprise me if it became some sort of contest between our worlds. Like who could outdo each other, stuff like that. And then you would end up with bickering and maybe even a war." It was a little extreme but she had known muggles to fight with their neighbouring countries over some ridiculous things.
"And there is the magical creatures to consider as well. Muggles are likely to to try and capture them and either use them for entertainment or research. They'll either put the creatures into extinction or they'll find themselves as dinner. No I think we're all better off staying in hiding."
And that was saying something seeing how she lived with a bunch of muggles.
