All sorts of things.
Some blunt, some subtle, some carefully dressed up—all expressing the desire to be content with the status quo.
Frankly, François could partly understand their mindset.
When he had been in America, he had once held similar thoughts.
After all, werewolves willing to cut themselves off from society and hide away in the wilderness were, more often than not, good people in the conventional sense. And good people did possess this sort of "weakness"—they were more inclined to compromise.
Of course, unlike their English counterparts, the pure-blood-controlled Magical Congress of the United States had mercifully taught good people what reality meant with fire and blood!
François had been taught that lesson, and that shred of kindness had naturally been shattered.
In the end, these English counterparts had simply been "protected" too well. They had Dumbledore, and they had also lived through the Dark Lord's rampage.
Yes, in François's eyes, the Dark Lord's rampage had served a positive purpose.
During this period of solitary reflection, looking back on more than a decade of history and political changes in the English wizarding world, François often felt that the appearance of that mysterious man had practically been a double act with Dumbledore!
One was responsible for stirring up the pure-bloods and gathering them together; the other was responsible for catching them all in one sweep, then redistributing power—
That was, of course, a joke.
Still, it could not be denied that the mysterious man's rise more than a decade ago had accelerated the pure-bloods' monopoly over politics, while also accelerating their decline. Especially after his defeat, the "fair and just," "reasonable and proper" purges reshuffled power and greatly invigorated the English wizarding world.
At the very least, avenues of advancement for those at the bottom still existed to this day.
