Okay, maybe this professor wasn't as bad as she'd thought. Considering that he was actually having them discuss the topic instead of just giving them a bunch of notes like other professors she'd had. Plus, he'd told off the incredibly rude girl who'd thought it was appropriate to have an outburst in the middle of class.

Anyway, Layla took down notes as Professor McCormack was speaking. Not that she really needed to, but she did want to seem like she was paying attention. Then they were being asked for their opinions. Which she had a few of. "Honestly, the way things were back then, if the accused had admitted to being a witch, they would have become the town pariah. No one would want anything to do with them and they would probably have been cast out by their own families. So it was better to tell the truth and go to jail or die than to lie and survive." Yep, grim stuff there. Made her glad she lived these days rather than back then.

And whaty what? There were people who wanted the Statue eliminated?! THAT'S CRAZY!!!! "If we abolished the Statue, the muggles would just end up coming after us again, for whatever nutty reason they could cook up. And their technology is way more advanced than what they had in the 1600's. Plus there's a lot more of them than us. I doubt that the wizarding world would survive something like that." Nope, it would be a nightmare.
