Gesturing at the three lions, Bartemius shared, "This custom might have fallen out of favour a few hundred years ago, but it is still accepted. If a muggle-born witch or wizard prove themselves exceptionally skilled or powerful, it was common for a pureblood family to take them under their wing.

In turn, the muggle-born would increase the family's reputations with her achievements."
