Tony like the sounds of 'no-maj' and 'non-magique' much better than this odd word 'muggle' that the British had devised. Oenologically it made more sense than 'muggle', which he couldn't think of having any root word that described its definition. It sounded more like some epithet used in the past to describe non-magical people unkindly, and then it stuck.
"But surely those wizards have an advantage," Tony said. At eleven years old, he didn't have a firm grasp on social class, but he still knew that there were people who had more power than others. Like how, in his muggle word, the nobility had more power than the working class. Then, there was the matter of knowledge. Miss Hyacinth already knew so much about the magical world, before even coming to Hogwarts. For her, casting magic would be second nature. She'd probably had a headstart on spell-casting compared to him.
"Is there a witch Queen as well and these purebloods are the peerage?" It sounded like it, the nobility always married amongst themselves and were considered better than regular folks. Unless someone became very very rich and even then, he was branded as nouveau riche. Was that to be his destiny -- no matter how good of a wizard he became, he'd only be a nouveau riche wizard?
