"And that's why we don't tell the muggle world about magic," said Percy a bit too loudly.<br />

"<strong>What</strong> do you mean?" asked Mr. Granger<br />

"We, wizards that is, haven't yet told the muggle world that magic really exists because if we did, all<br />

the muggles would want magical solutions to their problems," said Percy.<br />

"And why wouldn't they?" asked Mr. Granger. "If you could cure somebody of a horrible illness why<br />

wouldn't you. In fact, why haven't you? Why haven't your healers come to the rescue of the 'muggle'<br />

world with a cure for cancer or for all the other horrible diseases?"<br />

Mr. Weasley put his h<strong>and</strong> on Percy's shoulder, silencing him before he could start.<br />

"We don't tell the world about magic because while many people would want magical solutions to their<br />

problems, <strong>and</strong> most wizards or witches would be more than willing to help, there are also people out<br />

there that would despise us because they weren't born with our powers. Look at the evidence, The<br />

Salem Witch Trials in 19th century America is the perfect example." Mr. Weasley took a deep breath,<br />

"The slave, Tatuba, was a witch from the Barbados, <strong>and</strong> look at the uproar it caused, a whole town was<br />

accused because of one witch who was trying to help a sad girl who had lost her mother."<br />

Mr. Granger's expression calmed a bit, "I guess I underst<strong>and</strong>, but I still think that when it comes to<br />

disease the magical world should share its secrets with Muggles."<br />

"Dad, if you or mum ever gets sick <strong>and</strong> Muggle medicine isn't enough to help, I'll get you into St.<br />

Mungo's, the wizard hospital." Said Hermione.<br />

"Come on, let's just go inside <strong>and</strong> celebrate their graduation," said Mrs. Granger.<br />

"Yeah," said Mr. Granger, still a bit dejected, "I'm getting worked up over nothing, I'm sorry Percy."<br />

"Don't mention it, I shouldn't have said anything." Percy said in a genuinely apologetic tone. "Kingsley<br />

has been having the same debate with your prime minister for the last few weeks."<br />

"Ah," said Mr. Granger, pretending to underst<strong>and</strong>. Luckily he left it at that.<br />

The rest of the night was fantastic. Mrs. Weasley had cooked an amazing dinner, as usual, <strong>and</strong> they all<br />

spent the few hours after dinner working on Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione's wedding.<br />

Mrs. Granger, who made her own dresses <strong>and</strong> was going to make Hermione's wedding dress as well as<br />

the bride's maid's dresses, took Hermione's, Ginny's <strong>and</strong> Angelina's measurements. Mrs. Weasley, who<br />

would be making all the food, went over final menu choices with Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione.<br />

"Ron, where are we planning on living after we get married?" Hermione asked as she was getting<br />

measured for her dress.<br />

"I'm not really sure," said Ron, "I hadn't thought about it too much, what with school <strong>and</strong> all."<br />

"Yeah, I know, I haven't thought about it much either." Hermione said as her mother measured her.<br />

"Well we're living in the flat my parents left me," said <strong>Harry</strong>, who was watching Ginny get measured<br />

by Mrs. Weasley. "I'd offer you the house that they owned, not the one in Godric's Hollow, but I think a<br />

full sized house would be a bit much for newlyweds."<br />

"Yeah, it would be," said Hermione, "but I'm sure we'll be able to find something in London, hopefully<br />

near you guys."<br />

"Well until you do, you two are welcome to stay at the Burrow as long as you need," said Mrs. Weasley<br />

around a mouthful of pins.<br />

By the time the measurements were taken, the fabric <strong>and</strong> color chosen, <strong>and</strong> the food choice decided on
