"No, actually Professor Schmoe's classes are usually kind of...goofy fun," Violet replied. "It's just that after that battle here at school at the end of the last term...people got hurt, and some even died."

Violet nodded her head. "Yes, that's good. Write that down," she said. Then she thought of one of her own. "People assume that just because Muggles don't have magic that they can't be a threat." Violet remembered those newscasts of Muggle warfare, the computerized missiles and robot planes, and the bombs. If a group of Muggles wanted to take out a Wizarding stronghold with one of those, Violet wasn't sure any magic could stop it.
