[ SACRED 28 PUREBLOOD FAMILIES EDITORIAL SERIES ] · Fawley

↳ The Fawleys were an enigmatic, eccentric wizarding family, a branch of the pureblood wizards that many of the more high class saw fit to ignore. It wasn’t that they were especially dark, oh no. In fact, one might be so bold as to suggest that Ogden and Sorrel Fawley's quartet of children were perhaps as accepting as any other might be, if not a tad strange. (x) (x)

[ SACRED 28 PUREBLOOD FAMILIES EDITORIAL SERIES ]·Shafiq

↳ No. The Shafiqs only smiled, and did not bother to tell these people that being a Shafiq was not a matter of a tightly knotted family tree, but a question of beingness. Nor did they tell them that this list was young and they were old, old as the very bones of the earth: they did not need this list to tell them their worth or explain who they were. They knew, even if these foolish children did not. (x)

[ SACRED 28 PUREBLOOD FAMILIES EDITORIAL SERIES ]·Selwyn

↳ Dolores Umbridge claimed to be related to the Selwyns in 1997, lying about how she obtained Salazar Slytherin's Locket. Umbridge took it as a bribe from Mundungus Fletcher, but later told that it was an old family heirloom, with the S on the locket standing for Selwyn. (x)

[ SACRED 28 PUREBLOOD FAMILIES EDITORIAL SERIES ]·Bulstrode

↳ Bulstrode is the surname of a wizarding family. They used to be pure-blood and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, but more recent members, such as Millicent Bulstrode, are half-bloods, suggesting that one or multiple members of the Bulstrode family had Muggle or Muggle-born spouses. (x)

[ SACRED 28 PUREBLOOD FAMILIES EDITORIAL SERIES ]·Burke

↳ Burke is the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. They may be the co-owners of the Knockturn Alley shop Borgin and Burkes, which specializes in Dark artefacts. Notable family members of this family are Caractacus Burke — one of the original founders of Borgin and Burkes and Elizabeth Burke — a witch with a portrait in the Slytherin Dungeon of Hogwarts Castle who encourages Slytherin students to be "mean to Mudbloods".

[ SACRED 28 PUREBLOOD FAMILIES EDITORIAL SERIES ]·Abbott

↳ Abbott is the surname of a wizarding family. As one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, they were a pure-blood family up until at least the 1930s, but recent generations of Abbotts must have married Muggles and/or Muggle-borns. (x)
