Chapter three: Defining a Mudblood

Through the open door appeared (dun dun dun) a tall, slender boy with blond hair that was plastered to his head. He stood there with a triumphant smirk on his pale face.

"Well, look what we have here" he drawled.

Two figures appeared, one on either side of him, their fat heads looked like giant pumpkins as they tried to look into the compartment.

"The filthy little Mudblood has found a friend, and of course (he said, pointing to Caitlin's red hair and laughing) it would be a Weasley"

The figures beside him started snorting, screwing up their fat faces into (what Caitlin could only guess) were smiles.

Furiously Caitlin stood up shaking, clutching the bundle of fluff tightly in her arms.

"How dare you!" She glared at the boy, her eyes flaming, her face almost as red as her hair. "How dare you ever, ever call anybody that!" she spat. Her rage grew with each deep breath she took. "And what, exactly is a weasley? If you don't tell me right now I swear I'll, I'll…….."

"Oh come of it weasel, as if you wouldn't recognize your own last name, even a pathetic excuse for a Pureblood like yourself wouldn't be that dumb"

Drawing herself to her full height Caitlin said "My name is Caitlin Mills, I am NOT a Pureblood, and I have no idea what a 'weasley' is. I am a Half-blood, and if you ever use that disgusting language around me again you'll regret it"

"Oh" the boy said, a look of disappointment crossed his face but once again was replaced by a smirk. "Come on" he said to the pumpkin heads "I cant stand looking at that disgrace a minuet longer, she makes me sick" and with that he sauntered off, with the other two still snorting behind him.

Shakily Caitlin sat down and released her grip on the half choked kitten. "S-s-sorry" she stammered out "I don't usually get like this" she said as tears welled up in her eyes "I cant stand people like that, can you?" she looked over at the girl who was sitting with her mouth open staring in awe at back at her.

"Are you ok?" Caitlin said

"Yeah, I think so, I mean, what just happened?"

"I'm not really sure, but I hope I won't be seeing him again" She said, regaining some of her self control.

"He must have said something pretty terrible. I still don't know what the hell that means, Mudblood is it? And Pureblood?"

"Yeah I was just about to tell you when that idiot interrupted me, but before I begin to go into all that, what's your name?"

"Oh yeah, sorry" the girl blushed "I'm Lily" she said extending a hand.

Caitlin took her hand "Nice to meet you, I'm Caitlin"

"Yeah, I heard" Lily laughed "So now are you going to tell me what he said?"

"Well, a Mudblood is a really awful name for someone who is Muggle born"

"Muggle?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot, this is going to be harder than I though! A Muggle is someone, like you, whose parents are non-magical. It basically means someone who has unclean blood, mud blood. It's a load of bullshit if you ask me"

"So why does he think I'm a disgrace?"

"Well I'm guessing he is a Pureblood, someone from an all magical family. Some Purebloods think people like you shouldn't be aloud into the Wizarding world, that your not good enough because you don't have any magical blood in you"

"Oh, and are you a . . . . . . Pureblood?"

"Oh gosh no, I'm a Halfblood"

…silence…

"Oh right! My dads a Muggle, my mums a witch, got the best of both worlds I suppose" Caitlin said grinning.
