"Why not at least ask?!"

"I won't hear it! I won't have my reputation diminished because of my offspring attending a white school! Not that he'd be allowed anyway. He gets an education don't he? 'Separate but equal!' Ain't that what they say?!"

"No! The white schools are so much better! They're newer, they're nicer, and they teach so much more! Alastor could go so far if he could ju-"

Alastor flinched as he heard the sound of his father's hand hitting his mother's face from the other room. His hands were firm over his ears he listened to muffled sounds of his parents fighting.
