In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?” The first wizarding war didn't end.

Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.
