Stacy back again:

So for the purpose of my fic, I feel a bit conflicted about this because it would require a 
large alteration to the storyline.  A future Death Eater, while at Hogwarts, would probably 
hide the fact that she has a squib in her ancestry if wanting to impress somebody like 
Draco Malfoy.  Furthermore, she would hide the fact that somebody in her family practices 
"complimentary medicine" (wizard healing with a bit of muggle medicine, like the healer 
who put stitches in Arthur Weasley).  To a Death Eater, this type of healer would be a 
blood traitor, right?
