She would simply write to what she thought they wanted to hear. Very good point," Copernicus agreed.
"And I also agree that she was trying to change the world, in her own way. To make it happier and simpler and more child friendly, even if she went about it in a way that scraped all the beauty and honesty from it. So I don't know if she changed the world, but I think she wanted to."
"I think its amazing that her works have the power to make people react so violently." Cela noted, bouncing the tiniest bit from eating the chocolate frog. "Now
that is magic worth preserving on a chocolate frog card."

Kayla had to giggle as well. "So we can safely assume that Wendelin, was pro-muggle. Seeing how she liked being caught and burnt at the stake by them" she placed her chin on her hand and looked at Lyra.
"Of course." Cela agreed somewhat gravely, "We didn't get caught did we?" She grinned brightly and noted the conversation she was having with Lyra.
"Wendelin the weird might not have been pro-muggle. Just Pro-fire. Or anti-muggle since she used a flame freezing charm to stop herself from being burned more than forty times; maybe she liked how uncomfortable it made the muggles that were trying to burn her, maybe she liked making them question their beliefs."

It says he's a Wizard tap dancer, but that doesn't mean he didn't have contact with Muggles; it's kind of unavoidable, at the very least, he wouldn't have been Anti-Muggle. At best he would have been Pro-Muggle."
Cela was totally in the mood to question everything, "Maybe he was Anti-Muggle and disappeared because the authorities were on to his plots to bring down the muggle world."
