Dear magical journal thing that I'm still not convinced isn't completely evil,

Have been stuck in close quarters with speccy git Potter for far longer than I'm used to — thus far I've managed not to hex him, at least. I suspect the urge won't be kept at bay for much longer.

The sun decided not to rise this morning — totally normal, that. Not worrying at all.

THERE ISN'T A PROPER LOO ON THIS BLOODY SHIP, or shower, or anything else — cleaning charms can only go so far!! My hair is hideous.

In conclusion: not dead yet.

Somehow.

I disagree, there are some divisions of man that aren't arbitrary at all, and being magical or not is one of them. Of course we're aware of the vast capabilities it has, but what good is it to allow muggles the knowledge that magic exists? Nothing they do will grant them the same abilities, and it isn't as though magic is some extraordinary cure-all anyway. It's fantastic, of course, but our world isn't without its own problems.

Wealth and magic can hardly be compared. Money, social status, theoretically these things can be gained, even though some might be lucky enough to be born with both. But with magic, you either have it or you don't.

Therefore it must be hidden away? An entire world of secrecy and lies built solely on a lack of trust in one's fellow men. There is no excuse for it.

There is plenty of excuse for it! You want to speak to me about lack of trust amongst men? It was your kind who didn't trust us. We didn't always have the Statute of Secrecy, you know, it's only been around for a few centuries. There was a time we were able to coexist, but then wizards and witches began to be persecuted all across the continent to the point that we were forced into hiding. The Ministry even went to your bloody King and Queen of the time seeking aid, but they were denied.

It's not the fault of Wizarding kind that things are kept separate now.
