Portraits don't quite do people justice, no matter how lifelike they become through magic. But they are fascinating to study, nonetheless.

An inquiry for those who use this form of communication: how many of you studied in Hogwarts? I would enjoy reading your experiences, should you wish to share them.

You may think that, but the fact of the matter is that numerous studies have shown that muggle-born magic is both stronger and more "pure" than that of people that grow up surrounded by magic because so much of our craft is tied up in intent and emotion. Muggle-born witches and wizards, granted a sense of wonder from learning they have magic, ran circles around witches and wizards that use magic like it's nothing in tests.

Perhaps it's not that the education is wasted so much as it is someone is threatened by us realizing our true potential.

A "sense of wonder" is not a scientific category. In fact, if this were true, Slytherin House, or the entirety of Durmstrang, for the matter, would only ever turn out sub-part wizards and witches, and I daresay history begs to differ.

"A scientific category" is a wholly Muggle term. Been opening your mind lately, friend?

The point of the studies is not to prove Muggle-borns better, but equal. Which we are.

Besides, don't be so hard on yourself. I've known plenty of brilliant Slytherins.

PRIVATED.

[ loathe as he feels to speak to someone who is so obviously a muggleborn, there are battles that can be fought without spraying vile words at each other.

and that includes battles that can be postponed, when there are more pressing matters to attend to: namely, thousands of years of information that he wants to grasp with his own hands. her mentions of these apparent studies sound both fascinating and idiotic in equal measure. ]

Your arguments would make more of an impact to other people's ears, were they not veiled as a threat, by a name seemingly not attached to a person no less. Passion is admirable, when not thrown around in reckless abandon.

Have you sent a similar message chastising for the use of the term "mudblood" or am I the only one to be scolded?

Are purebloods so fragile that they can't handle an argument from a muggle-born? Why should I bend over backwards to accommodate? Do I need to make the argument easier for it to be won?
