Wait, wait, hadn't Professor Newton told them to NOT talk about opinions on whether they should be repealing the statute or not? And now Professor Stewart was asking for their opinions??? Well she was asking about Carlotta Pinkstone, but also for their opinions. And this was just quite the contradictory lesson thus far, which on some level made sense since muggles versus wizardkind was like a walking contradiction.

Of course, Kitty would perk up again at the chance to offer her very opinionated side to why the statute should be repealed. And if she had to guess, Carlotta was probably the older girl's idol. She could see the headlines now: "Kitty Valentine: the NEW Pinkstone" Or maybe, "A new activist in sight: Kitty Valentine". Whatever. It wasn't her life and as long as the Prefect didn't try to jeopardize anything in her life, she could care less what she got her hands into.

She should probably say something, yes?

Not having anything to add about Carlotta, Skylar chose to add her opinions, "I think that while society has come a long way in the last four hundred years, there are still a lot of prejudiced folk out there. On both sides, muggles and magical folk. And before we can even consider repeals of statutes, or of revealing our true selves, there needs to be greater education and compassion." Yes, some might argue that you won't get education without proof, but ... "Sharing our secret means that muggles would want to know everything. And I don't think as a wizarding community we should have to reveal everything because we would be putting our own lives in danger. Some things are better left in the dark. We could still help muggles with medicinal cures, without telling them how to do it, I'm not saying to let muggles suffer... but we just don't have to spill the secrets. We can integrate, without revealing. There's no reason to tell them the how."
