(Thank you for the half-day off to finish this. And I'm sorry again that you needed to correct me in the first place. I will try to do better, honest. Do I have to do the How I Spent My Hols essay too or can I just duplio that reporting parchment you had me fill out to test it I will have the How I Spent My Hols essay done tomorrow as you requested or tonight if there isn't anything more you need done after handling people's return. It won't take forever to search everything they bring. Because I'm faster at it now. I think I've got the hang of it now. Mostly. And I know what to avoid now. Sometimes. Anywiz, thank you again and I will try to do better.)
Purebloods Can Inspire Even A Halfblood
Purebloods in the Protectorate are there to protect, to excel, and to inspire. A pureblood can inspire even a halfblood. You should put your trust in purebloods, because you cannot trust halfbloods. They hold grudges forever and they attach themselves to purebloods who will protect them. So you should not hope for friendship with them because they will never give it to you. Especially if they think they are better than you. Which they aren't because they are a halfblood too, and all halfbloods exist on sufferance of purebloods. My guardian says so, and so does Madam Umbridge. And if you look around, it is true.
Halfbloods must be inspired by purebloods because you can only be inspired by people who are better than you. That is how it works. Inspiration is like a light shining from a high hilltop, not out of the gutters on the public highway. They do not put beacons in low places.
Halfbloods need guidance. When I was little I did not understand why my father had to divorce my mother. But he helped me understand that he did it for me and it was for my own well-being. Because she was a mudbl unsuitable to being anyone's mother. Especially a halfblood's mother because halfbloods need guidance and you have to be suitable and proper to guide people. So my father made the appropriate choice for me and I must always be grateful to him for that.
It is important always to make sure that purebloods are not dragged down by low companions and unworthy influences. When my father found out his former wife had died in the camps he was upset. His anger at having been involved with such a person made him say unwise and inappropriate things. So they took me from my father and put me in fostering. Which was for my own good. This is one example of a pureblood whose life was ruined by unwise choices. Which is a tragedy because even being a nice person of good family and well thought of will not protect you from bad influences. I must strive to be inspired by the best of what he was. Rather than dwelling on the unfortunate consequences of his ill-considered actions. That is the appropriate thing to do. So I try to do that.
Purebloods are inspiring by being very good at things and because they are leaders. For example Padma Patil is inspiring because she is always decisive and knows so many things and how to behave. And she dresses nicely. Melinda Pennifold is especially inspiring because she has the responsibility to look after all of us at Hogwarts and inspire us by her example as Head Girl. And Cedric Diggory is inspiring of course because he is such an exceptional Quidditch player and always fair to everyone. Even halfbloods. And he is handsome, which helps when you are inspiring people. He will go far in life. Some people you can just tell.
My guardian is a truly inspiring pureblood. Because she bears up under her illness difficulties with fortitude. Fortitude is when you don't complain very much. I am lucky to have a guardian to guide and correct me so that I will avoid being a burden on the Protectorate and its members. Even I, a halfblood, can be inspired by purebloods. To be better than I could be, and to join with every loyal citizen to make the Protectorate its best and brightest self.
