"We hide because it keeps the magical and non-magical humans safe from each other. There was a time when wizards and Muggles lived together, but it didn't work out. The Muggles started demanding magic from us, blaming their ills on us, and persecuting us. Innocent Muggles were killed because they were accused of being witches."

He shuddered. "We weren't blameless either. There are wizards who believe they're superior beings because of their magic, and they really were casting curses on Muggles for their own amusement. The governments of our worlds tried to reach an agreement, but it couldn't be done. Wizards went into hiding for our own protection."
