"I should think they wouldn't!" Hermione snorted. "The WBNDA protects their status under the law too, same as half-bloods or Muggle-borns!" It felt good to say the latter phrase, and she savored it. Hopefully, she would never again be in a context where she would hear the alternative, racial slur: the WBNDA specifically forbade utterance of the word "Mudblood," a bold and somewhat controversial move that had danced right up to the line of violating First Amendment rights. Hermione had nimbly fought to keep the provision in the bill, blocking any amendments that would have stripped it.
