"Until sixteen months ago, Mr Gregory Goyle’s father, Garston Goyle, held the title of Lord Goyle, Head of House Goyle. Then Garston’s title became mine, by Right of Conquest. Other Houses, which belonged to Lord Voldemort or to his Death Eaters, likewise became mine, by Right of Conquest, either that day or a month later. But know that all the Houses that became mine by Right of Conquest, twenty-one in all, I declared to be extinct. Meaning, I refused to name an Heir for that House, nobody can claim to be Head of House after I die, and all money and property of that House will be bequeathed to my family when I die."
