 Right side Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Brandon had a lot of things on his mind after the debate. He felt like his own side was sometimes speaking as though non-magical people were incapable of doing serious harm. But the other side sometimes spoke as though non-magical people were inherently dangerous! He had known a lot of non-magical people, being a muggleborn... and they could be really nice, selfless people. They could also be evil. They were just as human as wizards, and humans could be evil OR good. When the professor did the voting, he raised his hand to keep the statute in place. But just so she knew, he wanted to modify it.
School uniforms... seemed much less serious, which relieved Brandon a bit. He didn't feel like there were lives on the line because of the school's dress code or lack thereof. So it was a lot less stressful to talk about. "Some people struggle to afford their uniforms, and then they might get in trouble or feel singled out because they don't have the right clothes or their uniform doesn't fit as they grow. If the school let people wear their own clothes, people would be more comfortable and spend a lot less money. Also, we would save time, because professors and students wouldn't be arguing about wearing the uniform. And..." he hesitated. "I... um. I think the robes are impractical and hot. And a bit of a tripping and fire risk." If they were going to keep the uniform, they should totally get rid of the robes. In Brandon's opinion. He felt a little bit awkward saying that. Was that against the rules to say? |
