i'm tweaking these information at one point, but i'm thinking about old money wealth of both the longbottoms and zabinis and their respective origins, and i'm leaning towards longbottoms having quite a start in the mass wand productions across britain and scotland as far back as the 14th century, and the zabinis simply owning a lot of lands from italy to england.
#i mean.... whether [the longbottoms are] involved in the production by the 1990's? i'm not sure#because at that point the family have accumulated wealth so much to the point it's genuinely not a worry for them#and it wouldn't have made that much of a difference if they're actively in the business or otherwise#im also trying to build a fairly solid background#in the sense that if - during the medieval times - there had existed some sort of monarchy-adjacent government#mirroring the muggle world at that time#maybe longbottoms were intertwined with nobility at that time ( further establishing their name )#though maybe it might've just been luck after all that they did end up in the sacred twenty-eight by the 1990s#while zabinis are probably from the high italian's aristocracy until a branch of that family moved to britain in the 1800s?#just... thoughts u know.#blaise.#neville.#blaise; headcanons.#neville; headcanons.
