Re: Private message to Mrs Malfoy

I know quite what you mean, Mr Weasley: Nothing can entirely overcome the taint of non-magical blood.

However, as I'm sure you observed while working for my husband, many jobs are considered beneath purebloods and yet the employers refuse to consider halfbloods on the basis that they are summarily unacceptable. Inevitably, this leads to several problems, not least of which is undoing all the good faith created by their experiences at Hogwarts, where by-and-large they are taught they can make something of themselves; it discourages them further from making the attempt and pushes them toward dishonesty and resentment toward Our beneficent Lord Protector, which cannot be tolerated.

Our goal is not only to drill them in proper manners, speech or carriage, though certainly that is an important part of our aim. It is our hope that by the time these and other students complete their participation, the community will be able to easily identify them as a cut above the common halfblood.
