Quote:A blonde, with all the sneering attitude of a trust fund baby came by looking for me while Neville was out looking for a prefect. Blondie announced that he was looking for Harry Potter, sneeringly stated that Potter would never be caught with a pair of mudbloods, and then he and his thugs flounced off. I guess I could have mentioned my name, but it was simply too funny not to.
I admit, his logic seemed a bit suspect. The Potters had never been fans of blood purity. Why he thought a Potter wouldn't be hanging out with muggleborns was beyond me - everything I'd read about my family says we hung out with who we darn well pleased. I did recognize Blondie's name from my everybook – his family was practically the poster child for blood purism.
According to a scribbled note in what looked like my mother's hand, the Malfoy's were also a warning against having a family tree with no branches.
I told Hermione that being accused of not being inbred enough for Malfoy's tastes simply wasn't the insult he thought it was. She was still giggling when Neville returned. I liked to see her laugh. I got the impression she didn't get to be involved in many shared jokes.
