Chapter 5: On Muggles
You can't help but love them! I mean have you seen some of the stuff they've come up with? Plugs and outlets and those, fellytones. It's amazing what they've done without magic. And their trains are incredible! When I retire from the Ministry I plan on writing a good long book about the Muggles and their lifestyles. My favorite subject in Hogwarts was Muggle Studies. It was taught by this great man, Professor Winkle. He knew EVERYTHING about Muggles. It was a great learning experience. He prompted me to experiment with the Ford Angelia, a Muggle car. That was obviously before Harry and Ron crashed it into the Dark Forest. One day I would love to have a good long chat with an old Muggle. It would be worth getting yelled at by Molly. Muggles! Truly amazing people!

Filthy, savage, blood traitors, the lot of them. What's even worse is when one falls in love with a wizard and sullies our perfect pureblood race. Narcissa's cousin fell in love with a Muggle and married the man. That woman, that auror, Nymphadora Tonks, yeah, that's the outcome of their marriage. You can see what comes out from a dirty, Muggle-infested witch. They disgust me. They are all stupid and pathetic. Weaklings. Thank the Dark Lord that my family, the rich and pure line of the Malfoy's, isn't a bunch of mudbloods. How Muggles can even have wizards as children is beyond me. And lord knows we don't need anymore Potter's or Granger's running around. But hope is not all lost. When the Dark Lord takes power, he'll eliminate all the Muggles and the trash that shares their blood. For good.

My experiences with Muggles hasn't been all that great, you must admit. Living with the Dursleys was bad enough. They're enough to turn you off of Muggles forever. But my grandparents were Muggles and they weren't bad. And I know plenty of people (like Hermione) who have Muggle parents and are the nicest (and smartest) people I've ever met. I guess the Dursleys are in a league of their own. Like Sirius said, 'the world isn't made up of good people and Death Eaters.' I suppose the Dursleys are just somewhere in the mix. (Although I'd rather take on a Death Eater than have Uncle Vernon bawl at me one more time.) Muggles are okay. I just can't believe they don't notice the wizarding world. We're not exactly subtle. Oh well. I know it's better the way it is. There's a Muggle expression I once heard: Ignorance is bliss. In their case, I guess it works pretty well.

I'm not a nut about Muggles like my dad is but I know when to draw the line. Muggles are fine in their own primitive and simple way. Muggle-born wizards and witches are normal, just like the pureblood folk. So when idiots like Malfoy call Hermione a "mudblood", it pisses me off. What makes him think he can talk to her like that and call her that name? She's as pretty and clever as any other witch, only even more so. Who cares if she's got Muggle parents? I don't. I've met her parents and they're nice people. A little skittish, but nice. Muggles are pretty dumb at times but that doesn't mean their offspring is. Just because people like Hermione don't have the "pure" gene doesn't mean they become the village idiot. It's not fair. I swear if one more person calls Hermione a mudblood, I'm gonna tear their throat out, Muggle style.
