C'mon now, the full name of a writing quill is "quill pen" because it's the shaft (quill part) of a feather, Latin penna. Dumbledingus really ought to be able to connect the dots here.
According to that logic, there is nothing paranormal with a "magic wand" because "wand" goes back to proto-Germanic *wend- "to turn", just like "wind" does. Nothing special about it. People should be able to connect the dots here.
This is a pure blood speaking? Because I am technically a pure blood, but a muggle ally and I think you should go educate yourself. There is literally nothing different between us and them. Rethink your prejudices!
Me? I'd be the muggliest of muggles except for certain knowledge a witch implanted in my brain. And it's since transpired that she was the one who should not be named all along.
