"The next student who hands me an essay written in ballpoint pen on muggle paper will receive a zero on their assignment and find it in the trash if they care to retrieve it." Professor McGonagall said as she held up two small sheaves of lined paper for demonstration.
Rather than raising her hand and politely waiting for the Professor to call on her like she usually did, Hermione Granger shot up from her seat. "But, that's...that's racist!" she said.
"It's not, as you call it, racist Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall said, her lips all but disappearing as her mouth formed a narrow line and her nostrils flaring slightly. "Schools have their own traditions even in the Muggle world, and using parchment, quills, and bottled ink happens to be one of ours."
"But, that tradition is so backwards! The world has moved on since then." Hermione exclaimed.
"Students learn through adversity Miss Granger," Professor McGonagall who was looking positively livid said in an icily calm tone. "If we wanted to make essay writing easy for you, we would've handed the lot of you Self-Inking Dictaquills."
Hermione looked cowed by this and sat back down.
"Miss Granger, before you call someone a racist, I suggest that you look in the mirror." Professor McGonagall continued before turning back to the board. "Twenty-five points from Gryffindor for your complete lack of tolerance."
