 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

"It's hard to keep it all straight, though," she said. "And shouldn't history be easiest? They can take away our brooms and make Flying class harder, or make us do chores by hand, but they're not doing anything to stop us thinking." Well, except Crucio, but Mamie luckily hadn't landed on the bad end of an Unforgiveable Curse yet. She hoped she never would.
"It's just, Ash, it's hard to actually learn anything." She looked up at her friend. Ashley was a Muggleborn, too. Surely she felt the same way? Like, not only was the Neo-Alliance attempting to brain-wash them, they were actually making it hard for them to learn at all. "I know what you mean." But Ash wasn't too concerned with her work. "Good work" at this point was a low bar. Plus, Ash didn't really care. Like, sorry, wizard university. Didn't know you wanted me to focus on my studies. Thought you wanted to kill me. My mistake. "Anything that you could possibly use is buried under so much garbage." Which personally Ash had no problem sifting through. But Ash wasn't everyone. If she was, they wouldn't be in this hostage situation. Or at this school. |
