Mischievous Niffler
This next one she recognized right away from pictures in history books. It was Lucius Malfoy, one of Voldemort's top henchmen and father of Harry Potter's rival at school, Draco Malfoy. Knowing who he was made it easy to guess what he was about to say.
She was calm, and she wanted Rosalyn to see that. But she could still answer the hologram without her thinking she was losing her temper, right? Or was she not supposed to answer anything, no matter what? Kitty decided to risk answering, though she first glanced at the professor as if to ask permission. "That is incorrect, Mr. Malfoy," she said, folding her hands in front of her and doing her best to pretend that she was in a play and that the hologram in front of her was an actor. "Muggles are no different than us. Sure, we have magic and they do not, and they invented electricity and we did not, but those things are superficial. What's really important is that both of us (Muggles and wizardkind) are sentient beings capable of love, self-expression, and joy. These things are much important than whether someone's blood is magical or not. And to people who disagree..." Here she gestured to the empty sides of the room as if gesturing to a whole audience that wasn't there. "To people who disagree, I think you'd change your mind very quickly if you ever had a Squib in your life. Squib's are basically Muggles born into wizard families, but no one would say that associating with Squib's is a disgrace. And a good parent would love their Squib daughter the same as their witch daughter." She turned to look at Professor Newton just because, then turned her attention back to Malfoy's hologram.
