"We wizards have a similar type of magic, we call them Muggle-Repelling Charms. Which isn't a term that I've ever favored, either," Hermione agrees, wrinkling her nose briefly. "Mundane, Muggle... I think what bothers me about those terms is that they form a definition around something lacking. A lack of magic, or a lack of exposure to the demon world. And, don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have magic and it's broadened my world, personally, but I also know that all of life is an opportunity cost. If someone isn't exposed to magic, it isn't as though their time becomes completely empty. There's science to explore. Art. Literature. Comparing the magical community I knew with the Muggle community that my parents raised me in, the latter was certainly more advanced in technology that didn't rely on some innate ability."

She sighs, shaking her head sheepishly. "But I could wax poetic about this fact for hours. My first professional job was lobbying for the rights of various species, both magical and not. One of the best ways to stay informed was always to read. To read the texts written by various communities, and digest what's happened over the course of history. I think it would be wonderful to have a bookshop in town that specializes in magical texts, and I would love to promote your shop to my customers. I'm sure many of them would have a similar use for such a place."
