"Pureblood Expectations: Slytherin Edition."

Sleep is very important, as it helps prevent health deterioriation and unseemingly features, such as pallor and bags under your eyes, one must get at least 8 hours of sleep. It helps one's appearance, health, and sharpen's one's mind.

Eating proper meals, there's much to be said for that, mostly health. Sickness ruins perfection.

Exercise, please. Purebloods are expected to be perfect, beautiful; it is absolutely impossible to achieve those standards without a body that makes others (common folk) turn green with envy and glassy eyed with lust.

Marriage contracts are used by many pureblood families, such as the Black and Malfoy families. One must be careful when choosing the child's spouse. Firstly, do make sure they're not related, not even cousins twice removed. Inbreeding causes mental and physical anomalies, as well as lower magical reserves, their offspring might end up being a squib as a result; needless to say, you do not want this. You must also be mindful of any magical creature blood in the children, as some species have predestined mates. The chosen must also come from a magically strong family. However, it's not mandatory for the child to enter an arranged marriage.

If no heirs are born, due to whichever reasons, adoption is the most sensible option. Blood adopting a child would make him/her the genuine heir apparent to the family estate.

Purebloods should be aware that magical blood within the family increases the magical strength.

Always make sure to read anything that requires a signature or personal information, if necessary, consult the family lawyer.

Blackmail is very useful, people are sometimes very stubborn and need more...persuasion, let's say.

Purebloods should have at least one property outside the country, some place where they can go for a vacation or special occasions.

A/N: Yes, it's short, I know, but I've nothing more as of now. If you have any suggestions, please leave them in a review. Again, some are silly guidelines, some are worthy of thinking twice about, and some I wrote based on fanfictions I've read. Also, a new update for Destined For More should be up soon, so check that out and review. Reviews make writers happy! :D Ciao!
