 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
The Ravenclaw prefect got some serious eye-rolling, but Katy had learned her lesson. In this very classroom, actually. Besides, other people were allowed to share their opinions, no matter how wrong, and they were allowed to have heroes who were nothing more than rabblerousers, if they couldn't find someone respectable to admire.
So. Katy raised her hand. "Professor...s. Carlotta Pinkstone chose to oppose the Statute by actively breaking it, and she was imprisoned several times for her efforts. She sort of cared more about her agenda than about who she hurt, since the Muggles who witnessed her lawbreaking had to be bespelled to lose that memory. Who knows what else they lost? It was pretty selfish of her." The one thing she knew about a cause was that it was never more important than the people stepped over along the way. And this was from a particularly self-involved Toussaint.
As for the Statute... "And I agree with Ms. Morrison. In a perfect world, we wouldn't have to protect ourselves from Muggles. Everyone's better nature would prevail. In practice, though, no one's better nature is prevailing. We still require society that is separate and hidden from those who would persecute and subjugate us for our differences."
