That would be good, yes. I might do that, too. Meeting new people is always exciting.
You-Know-Who? I've told you about Muggles, haven't I? They're the non-magical people of our world, and they don't know about the Wizarding world. The Ministries passed a law called the International Statute for Wizarding Secrecy in order to keep our existence a secret after the Witch Trials. People were hurt if we were known of, so we went into hiding, but, unfortunately, this engendered a harsher feeling of enmity towards the Muggles, and prejudice developed. You-Know-Who wanted to kill or enslave all of the Muggles and Muggleborns--they're witches and wizards born to Muggle parents--and Squibs--people without magic born into Wizarding families--because he thought they were unclean. There were some whispers around the school about his father being a Muggle towards the end, too, so I suppose it could have been that, too. Motivated by hatred for his father. Anyone who allied themselves with the Muggles was fit for killing, too.
