FIRST OF ALL...her mom would chew his head off for talking to her in this manner.

SECOND OF ALL...her mom would also chew HER head off for not attempting to participate.

Luce's cheeks and nose turned bright red from being called out for being silent. But she took with straight shoulders and a nod. He was the adult, right? Right.

"My brain is functioning well...Sir," she said, somewhat controlling a quiver in her voice. Her legs though...those lil' sticks were trembling away. "I simply didn't have an opinion," she added quietly. So really, why waste his time, y'know?

Luce nodded anyway. A response. He wanted a response. Well...he IS the adult soooo...

Ignoring the hard thumping that now flooded her ears thanks to that EMBARRASSING moment, the young witch listened...

...then stopped.

Ignorant? Who he calling ignorant? Muggles? MUGGLES?

Luce's eyebrows pinched together. Her hand slowly, but decisively slid up into the air. "Can they be considered ignorant if they didn't believe in the real works of magic? If they hadn't been properly educated in it?" she asked, that tremble making itself present.

If muggles had been properly taught about magic maybe their world would be different.

And maybe she paid more attention to that because mom IS a muggle and the word ignorant did not just go along with her.
