"Well, I for one..I'm a bit for it." She said, she didn't want to offend the girl if she was against the statute. "Well you see, the statute of secrecy doesn't only apply to wizards and muggles, but also the magical creatures...so, I just think that it wouldn't bode too well for the muggles to see the giants and all that."

Emmaleigh nodded as the other two spoke. It seemed like at least some of them were on the same page. Their opinions made her wonder about how they were raised, but she couldn't bring herself to ask. instead, she addressed Raven. "I don't think it would just be the muggles harassing people. It seems very likely that some of the wizarding world would begin to use magic to harass the muggles. And I believe muggle scientist would try to place some of us in a lab to study our magic." Really, none of her thoughts on the matter were very comforting. "And I think you have a point K-lee. It does seem like there are places in the statue that should be modified. I mean, I don't understand why wizards can't sell potions as a medicine."

"I agree. I think it's because of the situation we are in and everything going on around now they feel the need to change things." Annabelle is smart.

"the statute only allow the wizardkind to used magic, even if front of muggle if a life is in question, wonder how the limitation is" Raven say

K-Lee nodded, agreeing to what Emmaleigh was saying. Looking at Raven, K-Lee said her own opinion on the matter.

"Wizards and muggles are already so separated from each other. Thats probably part of the reason that there are wizards thinking they are better than muggles. Muggles don't need to know our existence, but we should still be more involved, still at safe distance but close enough that we can still help them."

Jake didn't really know what his opinion on all of this was. In some ways... he liked the statute because he didn't want to go through all that intolerance stuff, because there was intolerance for EVERYONE. Jake could barely tolerate muggles... and he had his personal reasons.

Plus, he hated change.

But then... the poor crups!

When Finn came over, Jake found himself sneaking his hand into Neptune's... okay, so maybe not exactly sneaking but there it was. He didn't even realise he was doing it... didn't ever acknowledge he had a problem with Finn... but he kind of did. So he preferred to feel close to Neptune... it was like... comfort.

He smiled when Neptune spoke, and kind of got back to his absentmindedness and doodling. Yup. That was why he was here. He'd shut up with his opinion because it would only serve to confuse.

Okay, they were starting the discussion now.Ohhh yaaaaay.This was going to be so fun."Well i dont think its very clever",Fee said,"muggles and magical people could help eachother a lot if muggles knew about our existence."Seriously, there would be so many advantages for both parts.Why were people to blind to see?!"What is your guy's opinion?"Of course, the blonde didnt judge people if they thought differently.

What a pity the blonde didnt want to be the new minister.She would sooo change a lot about the laws and atuff that was goin on.First of all that statute. But no she wanted to be an auror,that was her dream for like since she could think.

"But what situation?" Emily didn't understand "You-know-who and followers were defeated years and years ago, and we still have the statue now. And what if they came back? Like, a new powerful dark wizard. It's unlikely, but not impossible."
She was such a ray of sunshine!

Belle heard her response. "Hmm you do make a good point though." she told her. "It is not impossible you are right, because everyone loves power and always wants to be a step ahead of everyone. Some dream of having like their own way of running things and not following any rules. I guess the statue is to kind of remind everyone of the cruelty that happened back then when the dark lord was defeated."

Nika looked at her parchment and took some more notes on their discussion. She took one more quick look at the homework that she had written down and realized that they were getting off track. "Sorry to steer us away from we were talking about because it is very interesting, but I think that we should try and answer the homework so that we don't have to do it out of class." With your groups (or if you choice to work alone) please outline an argument for or against the Statute in the present day. Is it still effective as it was when it was first established and is it still needed now?. Please site examples to support your argument.
"So I think we need to outline an argument for or against the statute. So what do you guys think? Are we going to do it for or against"

Belle realized that too, "Oh right!, thanks for that!" she told her." umm i think that the statue is need in the world because it shows people that sometimes there is evil in the world and that it can show you what can happen. but i could be wrong." she said uncomfortably.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry" she blushed. They were getting off track.
"I agree. I think we should keep the statue so I say we do it for." she hoped Nika would agree as well. "But I don't mind doing it against. I think more people will do that one though, and there should really be a balance of both, don't ya think?"

"No problem, I just wanted to get done with this before class ended."

"I agree with both of you guys. Because although without the barrier of the statute we could help muggles and we wouldn't have to hide it is still a big risk. A bit too big of a risk in my opinion. I think that since we have gone on like this for such a long time there is really no need for change. The statute will keep us safe from some hungry-for-power maniacs out there." Nika was all for the statute, but a little part of her was against it as well. "Though I do also think that maybe it is time for a change. The only problem is that once there is change we can't really change things back. Well I guess we can change things back to normal, but It would take a lot of mind erasing." Nika jotted down their ideas and then she spoke up again. "So we are arguing for the statute because it has worked for so long and it protects us from any evil out there," she nodded adding what they all said to make one argument. "Is that alright? And so for the next part we have to say if it's still as effective as it once was and is it still needed now? What are your thoughts you guys?"

Emily nodded as Nika spoke.
"Yeah, we're doing it for then" Yey!
"Well I think it is still needed now. I feel that it stops wizards hurting muggles. Say you were a powerful wizard and allowed to use magic on muggles. They coudn't do anything to stop you imperio-ing them into doing something horrible. I thought with these powers we should try to help muggles and if the statue was gone, wizards could rule muggles no problem. And I know most people would not want to do this, but It's like we said before. There is no guarante that dark wizards are not coming back and it would make it 100 times easier for them. With the statue in place, we can protect them without their knowledge, so they're not paniking about evil wizards, yet don't know about magic and how they're protected as well."

Wait. She was confusing and repeating herself, wasn't she? Merlin, she had lost the plot...

Annabelle heard their ideas and contemplated on their thoughts. "well i totally agree with both of your statements. I am like you Nikka i am for and against the statue at the same time. I think it was effective back then and now that people are so used to seeing the statue, they see it has no meaning and don't care for it anymore. But some people have different views and are affected tremendously, like maybe one of their family members got killed from dark wizards, who knows? Their is no guarantee that their is dark wizards out there, but the choose to do what they want with their power." she finished her statement before she got off track.

Nika silently agreed with Annabelle. They both had very similar thoughts. "I think it isn't as effective as it was before, but I still feel that it is effective. Without it there are a lot of dangers and so the statute helps keeps us out of trouble. I think that for now it's best if our worlds stay separated, but maybe in the future we will be able to combine them." Nika smiled at her group, "You guys I think that's really it! Good job! Do you guys want to work on the first part of the homework since we are done with the group work part?" Nika suggested the idea so that they could make some good use of their time. Why not do it while in the class so that they would have time to do other things later.

Cass frowned slightly "But Fee, what if the muggles get hostile? People do drastic things when they feel threatened..."

"Yeah good points. Magic can be used for good and for evil so at the moment it is probably good we don't let people know about it, so things don't get crazy between muggles and wizards if you get what I mean."
She hoped they did!

"Uh. I dunno. Are we supposed to do that on our own or not?" she said glancing at the teacher. "I know that the statue was established in 1692 though..." And that was about it...

Raven smile in agreement, he look to other for maybe another suggestion, but still, he look the same way. "we can help them, especially Ministry people in very specific time, that the Ministry will define" he say

"and what if they said ok that is it any one with magical blood can stay here we know how to travel in space every one on the ships we are leaving ...I dont think we could live with out them "

"You mean all the muggles leave Earth? That's not what I meant at all. Of course we need the muggles."
*Matty said thinking it over. Even though they don't know about wizards we still help each other.*

"Oh, If we are supposed to do it on our own maybe we shouldn't work on that then." Nika didn't know that they were supposed to do that on their own. Oh well... She would find time to do it later. "So err guys, for the homework it said that only one of us have to add the group work part into it and we would all get credit. Should I put it in my homework? Or would you guys like to include it in yours?"

biteing his lip while he thought " I guess what I am saying is if they found out rather than fight or get mad they might just pack up and go,thinking they could never trust us "

Belle interjected, "How about one of us writes it and then add ideas. I am all for it! I mean who has the neatest hand writing?" she asked.

Belle said "I think you should put it in yours, i mean you already done it already. Why bother I doing it?" she shrugged.

"Okay that's fine."
