"Sibia Glint Prince..."
Dumbledore's gaze settled on the fifth page of the booklet, at the very top, where the name of Mr. Ellison's great-great-great-grandfather appeared.
Dumbledore frowned slightly, then his brow relaxed.
"So that's how it was." He chuckled, tapping the name lightly with a finger. "Come to think of it, this name reminds me of a story that took place in Godric's Hollow..."
Everyone in the living room blinked.

Dumbledore popped a biscuit into his mouth and closed his eyes slightly, as though tracing a story that had once lingered briefly in his memory.
"Prince. Have you and Hermione heard of this family?" Dumbledore looked at Hermione and Su Er, who were sitting beside each other.
When it came to time spent studying in the Library, no one currently at Hogwarts could match Hermione.
"Do you mean a wizarding family?" Hermione tilted her head and thought. "I think I've seen that name somewhere..."
"Oh, right!" Hermione raised an index finger adorably. "I remember now. A long time ago, back when Gobstones still had the authority to hold international tournaments, a witch named Eileen Prince led her teammates to a gold prize as captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team."
"There should be a trophy she left behind in the Trophy Room on the fourth floor. Is that the same Prince?"
"But I remember that name wasn't among the so-called Sacred Twenty-Eight."
"That's right." Dumbledore nodded. "Because they had so few members, the Prince family never made it onto the list of the Twenty-Eight."
"But no one could overlook that name. If you paid closer attention, you should have seen that a witch named Nasli Prince also won a gold prize at the twelfth Europe Potions Championship. She was a very famous Potions Master. Members
