The only real prospect they’ll have in this world is if I attach myself to a powerful pureblood, and that means the higher your position is, the better off my children will be. Oh, I’m not too worried about them turning into bigots like you. Mothers influence, and in a respectable household like yours, there’ll be no reason to take them away because there’ll be nowhere better to send them. So you see, I’m getting a pretty good deal for myself with this plan."
