It wasn't brown after all.

Mrs Lestrange, did we do something wrong or was it some sort of mudblood trick? It was red just like all the other blood I've seen.

I suppose it makes sense. Even an animal's blood is red.

But I really thought it would be brown.

Metaphor, not analogy. And of course their blood is red. There's an entire office in the Department of Purity Control that investigates people's ancestry. They'd hardly need that if you could identify mudbloods just by cutting them to see what color their blood is.

If it's not true then why are there all those stories about it? And why did Mrs Lestrange tell me it was brown?

What color is your blood?

[alt_sally_anne]

There are stories about it because they're mudbloods, and mud is brown. Obviously. I would imagine Mrs Lestrange told you it was brown because it's fun to tell stories like that to gullible first years to see how long you can keep them going.

My blood is green. No, wait, this week it's blue. Last week it was green.

Small one, I do not think it wise for you to presume to know why it is I do the things I do.

I'm sorry, Mrs Lestrange. I won't do it again.
