    Never ask her anything at all. I mean… who cares? Why do people constantly try to squeeze infotainment from the emotionally ill? It ain’t healthy, all around. For anyone.

      I mean I’m somewhat interested in how the Wizarding world manages to keep hidden despite all the kids from the muggleworld supposedly having friends and connections and things before Hogwarts.

      I mean, which 11-year old wouldn’t want to tell their friends they’re special? Hmm… perhaps ones which fear some sort of “witch-hunt” if they out themselves as being different?

      How about why don’t muggles just address the weird looking wizards who they see on the streets (at least in book 1 chapter 1) and on King’s Cross station. I mean, I can always spot a wizard.

        I imagine the kindest answer to that involves magical law enforcement obliviating and confounding any witnesses, akin to how Gilderoy Lockhart had a career but perpetrated at scale on a large populous of second-class citizens (aka Muggles). Which is horrifying, but any other answer I can think of is somehow worse than wizard cops mind raping anyone who saw anything.

          What do you mean?

          But yeah, the obliviators have definitely been mindraping people, but even with that, they couldn’t possibly track and trace all the people getting in on the secret.

            gotta know how shitty your opinions are outside of one thread, how am i suppose to deliver personal attacks if i don’t have a properly documented structure of your behaviors?

            Not that i would, because i’m too fucking lazy.

              Ooh, I’m so flattered. You took it so personally, I became your life’s focus.

              Thank you. <3
