And the lesson was starting, asking them about the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, something that the Ravenclaw Prefect was quick to jump on and offer her very passionate opinion about why it should be repealed. Something that Professor Newton, unlikely last time with the Founders discussion, was quick to dispute and calm the situation before it got out of control. Excellent control, but disappointment for her entertainment hour.

And to think she was about to see if she had any snacks to munch on while she listened to the debate, but now she supposed she ought to answer the question.

"It was first signed in 1689, but then officially established in 1692." During a time when witch burnings were very common, magic was seen as evil, so it was rather necessary for the protection of wizardkind and muggles and creatures, as Derf pointed out. Four hundred years later, after being in hiding, perhaps it was time to repeal it or ... perhaps not. As what Kitty failed to realize with her passion was that there was some idiotic people out there. People who would ruin it from them all. None of which Skylar would say, because Professor Newton didn't want their opinion about if it should be repealed or not; she just wanted to know what they knew about it.
