But after the getting-acquainted part of the meeting and the drama with the gold cigarette lighter, the new Minister for Magic told John why she had asked for an hour-long meeting. Bones explained how magicals who were raised in the nonmagical world for their first eleven years, were treated in Magical Britain: poorly. Bones herself had grown up in Magical Britain, with both parents coming from long-magical families, and she had been brainwashed about Muggle-raised magical people. A fortnight ago, she had had an epiphany: the things she had been taught were untrue, and nonmagically-raised magicals deserved equal treatment.
