To be clear, then, you think I am an ignorant boy of fourteen, just like every other child my age, until you decide you want to maim me, and then I am a man? If we were men, I would certainly hold you to account for your conduct towards me, but I am a boy and you are a woman, and so words are my only recourse.
You do not know the first thing about what I have seen and experienced. You told me you were a muggle, and you act just as my father warned me muggles would act. I shall shield little Sirius from the likes of you. He is a small boy, so perhaps when he says something about the cruelty muggles that you object to, you'll only want to take a finger, and think yourself merciful? My people have centuries of experience in protecting ourselves from yours. I had begun to think that the trouble may have been overstated because there are good kind muggles like Miss Teresa and Miss Astrid but clearly that was a mistake.
