Ron and Harry ask Hermione to ask her parents about who Nicholas Flamel is, saying it would "be

safe" to ask them. Hermione responds "Very safe, as they're both dentist's." Why does Hermione
respond in this way?

Hermione responds that way because her parents are both muggles (normal people not witches and wizards) so they wouldn’t know who Nicholas Flamel (a wizard) is.
