Heath sat up a little straighter, looking to the front as Professor Schmoe started the lesson. As mind-bogglingly backwards as this class had become, he was still determined to do well in it. Not because he actually believed this nonsense, but because it would make his life, his classmates' lives, and most importantly, Professor Schmoe's life easier. There was no way he was going to make more trouble for him!
Unfortunately that didn't make answering the question any easier. Everything in him screamed how illogical it was to paint one group of people as superior to another. His mind just didn't work that way! He had to approach the question from a historical or a scientific angle, otherwise he could never bring himself to answer it. After recalling something he'd read, he raised his hand and said, "Wizards are more resilient than muggles. We've found ways to adapt and survuve their subjugation throughout history, such as wizards using flame freezing spells to survive the witch burnings, and we've found ways to adapt our society so that it stays hidden from prying muggle eyes." Did he believe that? Not exactly, but at least there was some factual element to it.
