Devin looked around nervously at the ominous hooded figures who had come to be a fixture of every lesson. He knew they were just waiting for the moment when he would say something positive about muggles that went against their teachings. Then they would hurt him, maybe even kill him. He was lucky that his parents were both magical, but that wouldn’t save him if he openly resisted.
Yup, that question was exactly what he had come to expect from this class. It was terrible. Not just because these teachings were clearly morally wrong, but because the more he heard this anti-muggle rhetoric, the more his malleable young mind started to wonder if the things his parents had taught him about respect were wrong and if this was the truth. Devin listened closely to everything his classmates were saying. Ash’s comment about muggles hurting each other did not go unnoticed. ”What’s wrong with muggles? Greed. Behaving as if they’re the only ones who matter. Selfishly hoarding wealth while lots of other muggles are extremely poor, and not helping them. Choosing to put their own self interests ahead of helping others even though they can afford to do so.” That didn’t apply to every single muggle though, and he was sure there were wizards it could apply to as well. Sure, he believed people shouldn’t be so greedy, but he didn’t believe it as a blanket statement about all muggles.
