Who consists of this poor couple, of whom this council wishes to commit prejudice jurisdictions over. Having lived quite a long life, myself, and having seen plenty that would astound many, it would not astound quite one such as myself to see a half-breed marry a muggleborn noble. I doubt any muggle noble notices anything more than a muggle commoner would. More over, plenty of half-breeds do not simply stay hidden in Hogsmeade or, I dare say, the woods.
Perhaps the Ministry should give the public more context as to what 'non-human' variety the bloodline consists of. Is this a half-veela? For surely, a muggle would not notice anything beyond immense beauty of an individual of such breeding. This, versus that of a half-hag. You slander those whom the court judges by not attempting to give the public context. Yes, indeed, should the person be part-hag, that my cause more trouble than a part-veela. I could not possibly say yes or no as to whether or not that I find these proceedings fair and just, as I do not have the benefit of context.
