Order Only - the future
Sep. 26th, 2011 10:47 amOne of my friends just asked me a question, and I didn't know the answer and now it's bothering me --
What do we think Muggles should do, I mean, when things change, if they ever do?
Because I don't know, I mean I don't know what I'd want to do, I don't think it's fair to take things out on wizards who maybe didn't have a choice, people who basically are good but who weren't strong enough to be members of the Order or something like that, only how does one know? And what about -- I mean what if people say they were under the Imperius curse, or if they say that they were just doing what they were told to do, or if they say that people were threatening their children like some of the students, because I mean that's a real thing, it isn't fake.
And don't you think that the Muggles who wake up, I mean when the sleepers wake up, don't you think they're going to be angry, after they get over feeling like Rip Van Winkle? And don't you think that they're going to be angry with us too for not waking them sooner somehow, and then will we be able to stop them doing whatever they want because of how we won't be able to make them all forget magic again, and also if we tried to stop them we'd be just as bad as anyone else?
I don't know. I never thought of it before, because it didn't seem like it was possible that things would be any different ever, and also it just seemed like maybe they could just change, I don't know, I don't know what it was like before but I suppose it was childish but I thought things could just snap back. But I know they can't.
