Who benefits from muggle protection acts

For a long time the segregation between the muggle world and the magical world has been implemented and with good reason. Many of the magical community is under the delusion that segregation is to protect muggles or so we can avoid being inundated with questions from them.

This is far from fact. Gone are the days that the magical community have to worry about pitchforks and torches. They have advanced in warfare technologies so much that they can kill and destroy cities in seconds if they so wish.

They have weapons that have the same impact as a blasting curse. Their technologies in warfare are second to none, and they have an intimate relationship with war and killing.

With this is in mind why does the ministry feel the need to cater to muggle values? Why does the magical community feel the need to cater to muggleborns with muggle values?

Muggleborns should be adjusting to our values not the other way around.

For the magical community should now realise that the muggle protection acts and segregation is not to protect muggles. It is to protect the magical world.

A shiver goes down Ramona spine, the article brings out something in her she can't quite place.

James snorts in disdain, "Destroy cities in seconds? Big fat lies if you ask me."

A sniffle is heard at the table, the marauders turn to Lily, "It's .. not a lie. Don't you know what happens in muggle wars? Don't any of you learn about muggles at all."

"Lils don't be upset. This flight from death nutter is not going to be taken seriously, muggles don't have .."

Lily stands up and runs screaming 'You just don't get it, do you' as she runs off.

"This is pretty bad propaganda if you ask me." says James.

Ramona now realises why Lily is so upset, "The article is not lying, I've read about their wars and they are still at war at this very moment. They do have the power to destroy cities."

Black growls annoyed, "MUGGLE CITIES, not magical ones. We can easily ward against their weapons. YES they fight each other but their so called power against us just isn't so. The point is these weapons can't touch us. So why cause hatred of muggles and muggleborns over a non issue?"

"So no wizard or witch has died from these weapons? The deaths that muggles have caused in our world is not a non issue Siri. Muggles in the past have killed many of us, I researched after Lucius's rant. I can understand the hatred somewhat. Not to mention all the things that have been occurring in the ministry." replies Ramona.

Ramona knows people will look into the weapons this Lord has described and find out the statistics of deaths the muggles has caused the magical community. The magical community are not going to like what they find. They might even think the ministry has been downplaying the destruction due from muggles.

The three argue about the issue and no common ground is found between them. Peter in this debate has yet to say anything. Peter angrily points to the article and taps it.

"This article is made to divide us, and it seems he achieved his goal."

The rest of the year is filled with bitterness, pranks and practice duelings for the four. James continues his antics with Lily because it seems she is catching on to the groups secret.

The examinations went well for Ramona, receiving all O's apart from potions. Ramona is the first in her year for defense, which annoyed Severus so much he challenged Ramona to a duel, which he lost.

Lyall lowers his wand in disappointment, "You haven't improved much."

Letting a slow breath out Lyall runs his hand through his light brown hair.

"I've been practicing so much, but father be fair! You have a masters in defense! How ..

Seeing her father's lip curl in disgust makes Ramona so angry. "WELL does it really matter if I improve in dueling! Wouldn't you prefer that the hunters get me."

Ramona regrets saying this in anger but at the look from her father her anger is replaced with sadness beyond measure for the look told her he secretly wished for that to happen. Ramona gasps.

"No, Ramona I don't wish that."

This is said too late, Ramona knows he is just saying this for that is what a decent person would say. A deep animal sounding growl comes out of Ramona and she snaps her teeth threatening.

Ramona drags her trunk along the platform. Ramona is in a bad mood and her wolf side is just itching for a fight. Unfortunately Lucius is at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Ramona grabs Lucius's luscious ponytail and yanks hard.
