Prejudice and Tolerance Chapter 16:

'You're a werewolf that had no idea that you were a witch?', Gilbert blurted out. 'How's that possible?'

'I had no idea I was a werewolf before Sunday. As it turns out, the pills I've always thought to be just vitamin pills, were in reality Wolfsbane potion, in pill form. Fabulous invention, really, seeing how they were so powerful that I've never transformed.'

'It doesn't matter.', said Lukas quietly. Elizaveta turned to look at him. 'It doesn't matter if you're a werewolf. You're still human, still a person.' And when Elizaveta had just started to relax, he continued, 'It doesn't matter to us. But it may matter to ignorant people.'

'Is there anything else that may matter to ignorant people?', Elizaveta was beginning to suspect that the Wizarding World was more like the Muggle World than she would like.

'Do you really want to know?'

'I'll find out sooner or later, won't I? So, I might as well know now. Because I'm positive that ignorant people won't be so nice when telling me what they mind about me.'

'Ok, then.', Irina started. 'You're a Muggle born; both your parents are Muggles as in they don't possess magical powers. You associate with the House of Slytherin, it's still being considered a stigma to even be in that House, not to mention associate with it. Honestly, the only thing that would make it worse is if you had Squibs in your family.'

'But we're not like that at all.', Arthur hastened to assure Elizaveta.

'And S.P.E.W., and other such organizations, has really worked miracles to improve the way people view all kinds of people. Including, but not limited to, people with different sexualities, werewolves and relatives of werewolves, different houses and loyalty to different Quidditch Teams.'

'And besides,', Gilbert added, 'the percentage of the Wizarding World who thinks all that, is getting lower and lower. In fact, they're reaching the numbers of pre-Secrecy Statute, and are expected to get even lower, thereby reaching an all-time low in our recorded history, within the next thirty years, maybe even sooner.'

'Yes, the only real danger is the Neo-Death Eaters', Antonio added.

'What's that?'

'They're the new generation of Death Eaters."

"Death Eaters?" Voices in unison asked.

'You've never heard of Death Eaters before? How's that possible?!' Gilbert exclaimed. 'Everyone in the world has heard of them!'

'Does that include Muggles too?', Elizaveta asked ever so sweetly.

Author's notes:

I know I mentioned in of my "2020"-chapters, that I would be far too busy to do this story, but after a gentle pushing, I decided to publish a chapter after all.

Hope you'll enjoy!

Please send me some ideas for the name of a female Potions Professor

In the next chapter:

'So, that's what Death Eaters are?', Kharma exclaimed.

'Yes,', Gilbert replied, awesomely pleased with himself for having given such an awesome, understandable explanation.

'How horrible!', Elizaveta grimaced. 'They sound like Nazis!'
