"Perhaps, but society has gotten lazier over the years and a lot more temperamental. I personally don't think we can co-exist."

Copernicus heard his name and piped back in. "I don't suppose it's something that we can choose at this point, to be honest. The two are so separate. But I do think we have to respect someone who has the vision to work towards unity, rather than viewing it through the lens of how it could hurt us. Muggles aren't lazy. Which is lazier? Doing a spell to wash clothes or inventing a machine-y thing to do it? We're just like them." Copernicus had a rather soft spot for Muggles, inherited from his mother.

We obviously can't be for sure... but writing wizarding tales? We know she at least appreciated the wizarding world, right? So maybe since she liked this world so much... she was anti-Muggle." She shoved her hands into her robe pockets casually and simply shrugged. She didn't have much else to contribute.

"I agree with you, but I think we CAN know for sure. Look at how she rewrote the Tales of Beedle the Bard. I mean, yes, she made them all sickly disgusting and cute, but she also took out every Muggle-positive note the Bard ever included. The tales that were intended to teach us to treat Muggles well were turned into sick little fluffy toadstool tales with no moral compass. Even if she didn't actively hate Muggles, she didn't want them anywhere in literature."
