Chapter Three: The Marauders Maps

I raised my hand up to stop the words flooding out of each of there mouths. I could not tell who said what, but the last word caught my attention very quickly, and I only yearned to hear more.

"Who said lazy?" I asked watching as no one made a move or sound.

I pushed myself off my desk, waiting for a simple hand but still nothing came, until I heard the same voice calling out from the back of the class. I looked to the back as my eyes landed on the same blond boy that I had spotted in the beginning of this class.

"Whats your name?" I asked, watching as he looked at me with questioning eyes.

"Draco. Draco Malfoy," he said with a smirk that seemed to spread across his face.

I knew instantly who this boy was. Narcissa, Bellatrix, Andromeda. My cousins, this boy was my cousin. I, however, made no movement in my face as I nodded to his answer. Instead I turned around, walking back to the front of my desk and turning around to face him once again.

"What about a Muggle seems lazy to you?"

"They can not do anything for themselves. Its quite ridiculous,"

I lightly laughed to his answer because I had heard it before. It saddened me a little to see another one of us being brainwashed by our family. They did it to Regulus and now he was gone, it made Sirius leave, and now it was him who had to pay for it. I just hoped that it didnt take him disappearing from the face of the world like my brother for him to realize that family sometimes was not worth it.

"Your answer is quite ridiculous, I mean, they do everything themselves. I would say we witches and wizards are the lazy ones, we just flick a wand and boom its done," I said watching as his face tightened in my anger, "Lesson one; never underestimate what you simply dont know,"

I turned to Ron as he was grabbing his face in laughter with Harry, while Hermione looked at me with both a smile and a nod as if what I had said gave her a sense of happiness, and I hoped it did. I continued to walk around the class, observing all of them as they watched me waiting for my next move.

"We as a wizarding society tend to judge those who we see as not our equals. By that I mean Purebloods, most Purebloods at least. Muggles are harmless, in addition, they are equally as powerful. They do things on there own with no help by magic, they make their own ways through life, and most in the end prosper. Thats and many reasons is why we accept Muggleborns here, as well as half-bloods, because it is known that your blood does not determine your wits, bravery, or you as person," I said watching each student that was in front of me.

"Open your mind to endless possiblities that this world brings because if we keep it in our mind that Muggles are just powerless people who are 'lazy' then you, yourself have no a brain, only one that
listens to what is told versus what you call all learn by yourselves," I finished, looking at the clock for the time.

"Muggles are only an abomination to this world, as well as every Mudblood who walks in this school,"

I turned quickly as that word was spewed out, and it landed on Draco. His head was turned to Hermione as he stared at her with distaste. His words were one that were fed to him and for that I felt for him, but to openly and confidently use that word for fun was not the way this classroom was going to go. Being a bully was not going to happen, at least not in front of me.

"I hope for your sake that you grow past what your family tells you, and hopefully it will not be to late. Because, Mr. Malfoy, even family sometimes is not worth it,"

I walked back to my desk taking a seat as I looked at my plans for the day. Frankly, I was already done with this class, as well as my dear cousin in the back. I took a quick breath of air before lifting my head to the people in front of me.
