In all honesty, she only really knew a one sided account of the last wizarding war but she was convinced she was right. "Besides, wizards reacted centuries later, muggles started it because they were afraid of anything that was different that they couldn't control" she finished, glancing around the classroom yet again to view the reaction.

Tiberius felt his bottom lip tremble. The girl had shot him a look that gave him chills. He quickly reasoned that she was in the group of students he'd been warned about that didn't like kids from muggle families. He bit his lip.

"I... I didn't say that there wasn't truth to them..." He paused. "But... didn't you say," he looked to Professor Truebridge, "that the people most hurt during witch hunts were muggles, because we could protect ourselves from them?" He scrunched his face some more. "So... it's easier for us to protect ourselves from them, than it is from them to protect themselves from us?" It was more of a question than a statement, but Tibi believed it.
