What makes you lose your temper?

I am sure that Ron and Harry will say that a million and one things make me lose my temper. I can’t help if the boys and their laziness have a tendency to make me mad, it just does.


What truly makes me lose my temper are the antiquated ideas that seem to persist in the Wizarding World. The inherent racism of some purebloods that look down their noses at me because I wasn’t born into a wizarding family like they were is something that annoys me. Of course, Malfoy and his ilk immediately come to mind.

But it is more than that, for every Malfoy that is open about their disgust at my existence and for families like the Weasleys, there is something more sinister lurking in the Wizarding World. There are unspoken rules that seem to prevent the rise of honourable Witches and Wizards merely based on either their birth or their sympathies. Just take a look at how long the senior Malfoy was revered, despite his involvement to the Dark Lord during the first war, or his open racist practices and attitudes. And then look at Arthur Weasley never seem to get anywhere in the Wizarding World.

The inability for the Wizarding World to change or to change at such a slow rate angers me more than Ron and Harry avoiding their school work ever could.
