Private I've never met a woman who speaks as vulgarly as you. We're nothing like muggles. If a wizard is born to a poor family then our government will pay his school fees for him so that he has the opportunity to better himself, and even the poorest wizards have homes, and can conjure up water to wash with, and use all sorts of other spells to their benefit. The pureblood families set an example, we aren't tyrants.
I'm fourteen years old. I expect that if you are a pirate woman then you wear men's clothes? Lots of the women here do that.
The market is north-west of the forest, but it's a fair distance, so if you're on foot it is probably safest not to travel in this weather. It'll probably be called off on account of the snow, anyway.
My family gives plenty to charity, and my father's taxes go towards paying for poor children to attend school, like I said. It must make a difference. If wizards need to punish someone, they do it in a civilised fashion, using magic. It isn't like muggle brutality. Did your group of pirates only fight with the navy, then? You didn't attack passenger ships and steal from them and take people hostage?
