Then, there were the remaining founders’ seats. Both Pandora and Amelia didn’t announce that they were wearing the ladyship rings of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Lucius understood Amelia, because she still feared retaliation from the Smith family and it could discredit her, if she was accused of line theft, but Lucius would be able to prove that the Smith family were not the heirs of the Hufflepuff line at the next meeting, where he would ask for proof, if they were the rightful heirs. Lucius would demand an inheritance test and if Mason Smith refused, then he would demand to be tested by the chamber’s magic for the claim of the Hufflepuff seat, if the man was rejected, then everyone would know that the Smiths were not the heirs of Hufflepuff and Amelia would be able to claim the title publicly and no one would be able to protest, not even the Smiths. He didn’t understand Pandora, but later she pointed out that the Goldsteins were starting to claim that they were the heirs of Ravenclaw like the Smiths and Lucius would demand from Joseph Goldstein to prove it. It would be the same like with Mason, only that he had to prove that the Ravenclaw seats would accept him as the head of house. But even there Lucius believed that the seat of Ravenclaw would reject Joseph and make sure that he learnt like a good raven not to make claims without proof.
