Nem had never had a particularly high opinion of their peers. Had never been all that willing to refer to them as their 'peers', even, when it was clear they were not remotely on the same footing. As a group, those kids could Darwinism without breaking a sweat.
Whatever. Point was, Nem still saw no reason to re-evaluate their initial judgement, other than to lower their estimations even further.
Points though. Nem would take those; though they were interested in more than house points, it was, at least, a sign that they were on the right path. Unlike... others.
They watched with vague interest as Rosier grabbed up that flap-jawed second year, and took her hostage. Now would be a good time for someone to give a stupid answer - Nem had always wanted to be able to see thestrals in person - but if anything would stop that nonsense, this might. The thought occurred to them to give one such answer themselves, just to see, but they entertained that thought only briefly before letting it pass them by. That wouldn't help them at all; Nem did a lot of things, but self-sabotage was not one of them.
In any case, they'd probably be able to see thestrals before the year was out, the way things were going, so it hardly mattered today. Serious answer it was, then. Nem raised a hand.
"Subversion of the system," they said, referring back to their previous answer. "For starters, anyway. It works best if it's top down: take control in the major institutions, make it global, then flip it. Going world-wide reduces the risk of outside intervention from muggle-sympathisers." It was tempting to go into much deeper detail as to the details and the 'how's, but Nem suspected it wouldn't go over too well, if they unintentionally got too close to verbalising the truth of the situation before Rosier and his friends made their next move. Perhaps it didn't matter, perhaps they'd already made it, but it paid to be sort of careful these days, even while trying to be thorough. They reeled the rest off as a list. "Criminalise interactions between the magical community and muggles, educate and re-educate properly in wizarding schools, and make those schools compulsory. Focus on replenishing and uplifting wizarding and pureblood populations - going global will make that easier too - stamp the muggles down. Deal with those who don't comply, whoever they are. Remove anyone who's a problem, or likely to be one. It might take time, and it's probably wiser to go steady, but soon we'll outnumber them, and those that survive will quickly learn that to be a threat is to die, and to comply is to benefit from the new order."
Listen. Nem wasn't saying they'd fantasised and made hypothetical plans about world domination from time to time, but they were also not not saying that.
