Why would anyone distrust you for being a wizard?

Lack of understanding, I suspect. Why would anyone burn people at the stake for the same offense, or hang them? Or crush them to death? Or try to drown them?

People do great evil out of fear and intolerance.

Yeah, which means I can see the argument for someone from say... before the modern age having issues with it, or someone who's just unfamiliar with magic, but after being here for any period of time, it seems kind of ridiculous for someone to distrust you based on that.

It does seem ridiculous. If it were solely me, I would take some issue with it, but not nearly so much as I do now.

But Lupin has acknowledged he feels there is a bias, as well.

I am making this conversation private. I think Lupin dislikes when I talk about him, I don't want Sirius Black adding his two cents, and Nygma is the reason behind much of this. I have absolutely no desire to talk to him.

He gives me migraines.

Me too. I think it's one of his talents.

I didn't realize we have so much in common.

I think he does it to a lot of people, so I wouldn't take it too personally.

The migraines or the feeling of oppression and victimization?

The migraines. Feel free to take the feelings of oppression and victimization personally. I think you've got every right to.

I appreciate the sense of vindication you've just given me. Thank you.

Don't mention it.
