Fancy boarding school wasn’t all that far from the truth. He wasn’t sure that fancy was how he would describe Hogwarts though. Sure, the castle was nice, but he was fairly certain that a proper posh school wouldn’t be run by criminals and wouldn’t constantly put students in mortal peril. ”Witness protection?” That was not a concept he was familiar with. ”Muggle machines are a bad attempt at replicating magic. Real magic is far superior.” No, that just felt wrong to say. The disgust at having even said that was clear on his face. ”I don’t understand how people can look down on muggles. Muggle technology is quite remarkable, and muggles are people deserving of equal respect and dignity. No one deserves to be treated as inferior, regardless of magical abilities. The same goes for other things people get treated badly for too, like disabilities.” He learned that bit about everyone deserving respect and dignity from his mum. "There's a lot wizards could learn from muggles, too."
