the end of clockwork prince is honestly so chaotic. like first jem and tessa announce their engagement, then charlotte announces she's pregnant and henry's talking about how he wants to name the boy buford, and if that's not enough, cecily comes to the institute saying she wants to become a shadowhunter. and the WHOLE time gideon is just completely embarrassed because it's his first night there and he's like "what the fuck is happening??"
iâm so proud of our generation but so horrified that we even have to do this
Fixing plot holes again. If youâve been wondering why Weasley twins âhavenât noticedâ Peter Pettigrew, here is the only plausible explanation, cause iâm personally not happy with the âtheyâve been looking the other wayâ version
to my beautiful dark skin queens if you have someone like this in your life they are NOT your friend. excommunicate them immediately and go on and shine like the day is bright.
(source tweet)
What the hell? Bright colors look AMAZING against dark backgrounds, and that includes skin tones. This complete ignorance of color theory is absolutely a reason for the 'friend' to be a complete shitbird.
Idk who she is but This is how dumb people sound when they say all lives matter đ
You aren't sorted by what traits you have but by what traits you value the most.
Else Fred and George wouldâve been a Slytherin, Hermione a Ravenclaw, Luna a Hufflepuff and Cedric a Gryffindor. You can fight me on this.
This is why you can have an entire family of Weasleyâs all in Gryffindor, or an entire family of Malfoyâs all in Slytherin - because they were raised to value honour and bravery/ambition and loyalty respectively.
(( OOC: One more time for the people on the back. ))
I like believing that Slytherins did fight in the battle, fought for their home, where they grew up. They probably dropped the cloaks and ties in order to not be a target.
Slytherins levitating rubble off of students
Slytherins sending the spiders flying out windows
Slytherins using hidden passages to evacuate students
Slytherins using hidden passages to sneak up on the enemy
Slytherins with no death eater affiliations, fighting death eaters to save their friends
Slytherins with death eater affiliations going through a mental turmoil as they have to make a decision on which home means more to them, and choosing Hogwarts.
Slytherins, fighting for Hogwarts because hogwarts is home. Where they had their first crush, kiss, ghost encounter. Where they learned how to read the stars and bottle fame. Where they met the people they now call brothers and sisters.
Slytherins man. Teenagers fighting in a war that they never should have to, but doing it anyway because they protect what is theirs.

Here it is, canon evidence that Salazar Slytherin was NOT a racist bigot. He was concerned for the well-being and safety of the magical community, which could have been compromised by letting the âcommon peopleâ know that wizards and witches existed.

Shoutout to this fine lady for bringing this to my attention. Letâs further the argument: Hogwarts was canonically founded around 990 A.D. - The Christians were finally taking hold of Scandinavia, meaning that all of Europe was now Christian. It was towards the end of the Dark Ages, or else the Early Medieval Period, which (In Europe) was famous for its intolerance of non-Christiandom, which included the teachings of Ancient Rome, Greece, and of course any Eastern countries. People were publicly defamed and in many cases killed for as much as considering these old ideas and teachings. These teachings really didnât come back to light until the Italian Renaissance in the 14th century. So when people did things the Christians couldnât explain, they blamed it on Witches; people they believed to be inhabited by the devil, sent to earth to wreak havoc on every God-fearing man, woman, and child. So what did they do? Imprison or kill those people. Now, here comes Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, who all agree to take pureblooded witches and wizards and teach them. But then they have to discuss magical folk who arenât born from magic folk. Gryffindor is brave and brash, and imagines the glory of having an entire society of witches and wizards with great command of their powers. Hufflepuff is kind and loving, and wants to provide a sanctuary for all those who are under duress from the population at large. Ravenclaw sees the merit in bringing all these different people together - the amount of information regarding magic that can be shared is the stuff of her dreams. Slytherin is cautious. He recognizes that there is a great possibility for individuals to play spy for the Muggle community, in hopes to gain favor by outing them all the while hiding their own powers from muggles. He sees them as a potential threat, and instead of risking the safety of not only their own lives, but the countless volumes and tomes of ancient wizarding knowledge tucked away in their castle (see The Burning of the Great Library at Alexandria), Slytherin says âI really donât think we should allow people with connections to Muggles in here. We could lost *everything.* Gryffindor calls Slytherin a coward, saying they would fight back and beat down any who try to oppose them. Slytherin suggests they do all they can to avoid confrontation. Hufflepuff canât bring herself to deny that sanctuary sheâs built. Ravenclaw sees endless potential in bridging that gap between worlds with learning. And this is what drives them apart. Future racists and pureblooded elitists will take and twist Slytherinâs words, having heard only the story that has been passed down for a thousand years. They use words of caution to justify their want for genocide. Slytherin isnât the bad guy, here. And I am so down for clearing his name.
To continue the crusade to clear the name of Salazar Slytherin, I have more evidence for your consideration. This is regarding the Chamber of Secrets. Now, the scene pictured above is one of Harryâs slightly less dull History of Magic classes, in which Professor Binns is asked to talk about the Chamber of Secrets. What we get from him is that the Chamber is a myth. There is legend surrounding it, no one is sure if it exists, etc etc etc.
Here is the VERY NEXT PAGE in the book, in which Professor Binns again admits to the Chamber (as we know it today) to be a complete myth. We find out, obviously, that the chamber isnât a myth, but I believe that the purpose of the chamber has been fabricated over a thousand years by misinformation and slander. Letâs check it out. Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Godric Gryffindor all know Salazar Slytherin and say âyep, heâs an upstanding man. Letâs start this school with him!â For a number of years, they had a school together and it worked out great. What we know is that there was a falling out, not Slytherin declaring they needed to murder muggle-borns! A disagreement that may have ruined friendships but did little else, I think. What we know is that one of Slytherin houseâs key virtues is self-preservation. As I discussed earlier in the thread on this post is that Slytherin was afraid of muggle-born witches and wizards acting as spies for the larger muggle community during a time in which wizards and witches were killed for their âdemon powers.â And so, when it comes to the Chamber of Secrets, I believe Slytherin built a Panic Room, not an Evil Lair. Think about it. Slytherin is horrified that any day there might be an attack on the school. So he builds a secret chamber that only he (or another parseltongue, an incredibly rare magical ability) can open. He doesnât want any double agents or spies to know about it, so he tells no one. He hopes, of course, that he never has to use it, but in the event that there is an attack, he can get the school to safety while he sets the basilisk on the attackers. But Iâm sure youâre looking at the basilisk and thinking âwhat sane man would put a monster in a panic room?â Glad you asked. I can consider two possibilities. 1) Slytherin put a basilisk that was under his control in the chamber, a creature that he could set loose on his enemies, aka, anyone attacking the castle. The basilisk would annihilate any army of thousands just by looking at them, and whatâs more, it could get almost anywhere in the castle through the goddamn walls! That kind of power is exactly what you need to defend your castle. And again, ONLY HE or an heir could control it. Iâm sure at this point he was thinking about himself and his potential progeny, not Tom Riddle some thousand years later. 2) Slytherin didnât put the basilisk there, and it was instead placed there later by Tom Riddle while he was at school. I donât have evidence supporting or disproving this. So how does this get so misconstrued to modern-day Hogwarts lore? Maybe toward the end, the founders did find out about the Chamber. Maybe Slytherin said something to them, maybe he let it slipâŠmaybe as they were cleaning out his room after he left, they found some journal entries about it. It could have been anything. But perhaps, in their wisdom, seeing no way to access the chamber, felt it best that no one knew about the existence of a (now) useless panic room, nor did they want anyone to worry about the basilisk. Maybe word *did* get out, though. And not one of the founders wanted to admit that Slytherin didnât trust their students, and so to most of the student body, Slytherinâs departure was suspect. And the moment they heard about a secret room that no one was quite sure about, they started inventing campfire stories about it. Fast forward ONE THOUSAND YEARS and now everyone assumes Slytherin was always evil (despite being a good friend and founder of Hogwarts with three other lovely people) and created a secret evil lair to murder muggle-borns, which he could have easily done without a lair if that was *ever* his intention.

HOW DO I REBLOG THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
Calling Slytherins sarcastic, edgy people who are always pissed off is all fun and games until you realize when those jokes are all you say about Slytherins or about being Slytherin is exactly what reinforces the stupid stereotypes
Slytherin is the whisper of âI love youâ to your significant other, even if they are somewhere else.
Slytherin is the mumble of a âThank youâ that youâre too anxious to say any louder.
Slytherin is the little smile you do when you see your best friend.
Slytherin is the content sigh you make when you watch the moon through raindrops on a windshield.
Slytherin is the hum when youâre too happy to express it in any way other than humming and dancing around your kitchen.
Slytherin is the jokes that you make up, but no one hears them because youâre a quiet being and people donât expect you to want to say anything.
Slytherin is the silent fuming under deep set, glaring eyes.
Slytherin is the feeling you get when an animal falls asleep on you.
Slytherin is the paint you somehow got in your hair after painting at midnight with your music blaring.
Slytherin is the tug on your heart when your so grateful for someone and canât put it into words.
Slytherin is the quiver of your bottom lip when frustration bites you.
Slytherin is the groan when your friend makes a pun, but you secretly love those puns.
Slytherin is brushing you leg against your friendâs, letting them know âIâm here if you need to talk⊠Or need me to bury a body.â
Slytherin is sneaking into the kitchen with your friend at 2 am and trying not to hysterically laugh.
Slytherinâs are soft, they are not as brittle as some might think. And if you think theyâre brittle just remember how easily brittle things can break. So let Slytherinâs be soft and delicate and warm.
Adding on:
Slytherin is the friend who will watch over you and your stuff while you nap on a bench, and the friend who lets you doze off on their shoulder in the middle of a movie.
Slytherin is the absurd romantic who brings a bouquet with your favorite flowers, who arrives at your door groomed to perfection and with hearts in their eyes when they see you.
Slytherin is homesickness and a relieved shout when they see friends theyâve missed.
Slytherin is a forced-out âIâm scaredâ between gritted teeth, because admitting it is just as terrifying as whatever it is theyâre afraid of.
Slytherin is the friend who takes your side and reassures you when the friend group starts criticizing you.
Slytherin is the touch on your shoulder when you ask a question that everyone laughs at or make a joke that no one laughs at.
Slytherin is the slow to come but painfully earnest âI love youâ whispered shyly into your shoulder as you embrace.
Slytherin is trust and assurance and âI knew youâd come throughâ.
Slytherin is perhaps the House that will put the most faith in other people; certainly it takes time, but once you have earned a Slytherinâs trust they are consumed by it. A Hufflepuff believes in fairness; a Ravenclaw believes in facts; a Gryffindor believes in ideals. A Huff will play Devilâs Advocate and speak of compromise; a Raven will point out empirical evidence and the accuracy of criticism; a Gryff will challenge anyone who questions the ideal. A Slytherin is the one who most believes in the individuals they prize, and it is nigh unshakeable. A Slytherin doesnât care if youâre wrong; youâre theirs, so theyâre on your side.
Let Slytherins get the love they deserve 2K17!

do you ever think about how the series of events that lead to Dumbledoreâs death in HBP was literally set into motion by Oliver Woodâs passion for Quidditch
okay but literally I canât stop thinking about this -
it is of course possible that Draco would have gotten the Death Eaters into the school some other way if the Vanishing Cabinet hadnât created the perfect opportunity, but it wasnât looking likely.
so like, itâs reasonable enough to assume that Dumbledoreâs death (at the hands of Snape specifically, obviously I know he was going to die soon enough from the curse, but the timing does make a difference so Iâm still focused on this) occurred because of the Death Eaters getting into the school. the reason the Death Eaters were able to get into the school was because of the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement, which Draco repaired.
the Vanishing Cabinet ended up in the Room of Requirement over the summer of 1996, presumably (reasoning for this is in the next paragraph), and Draco discovered it there sometime in his 6th year. but the only reason he had even known what it was, and what it could do, was because he had spoken withâŠ.
Graham Montague, a Slytherin who was in 7th year in 1995-1996 (when Harry & co were in 5th year). Montague was shoved into the Vanishing Cabinet in that year by Fred and George Weasley, because he was a part of the Inquisitorial Squad and was presumably about to take points from the Weasley twins for doing something disruptive. and we know that Montague got stuck in a limbo between the two connected cabinets, due to one of them being broken - he could hear things being discussed in Borgin & Burkes, which is how he was able to let Malfoy know that the other âend of the tunnelâ, or basically the other cabinet, was in Borgin & Burkes (which, Draco would already have seen as a 12-year-old, in the summer before his 2nd year, when he visited the shop with his father - fun fact, Harry hid in that exact cabinet while Lucius Malfoy was transacting with Borgin).
Montague would never have had this experience at all if the cabinet hadnât been broken in the first place. but in fact, we know exactly how, when, why, and by whom the cabinet was broken.
it was in the fall of 1992, when Nearly Headless Nick observed that Harry had gotten in trouble with Filch, and prompted Peeves to drop that very same cabinet from a large height in order to cause a distraction for Filch, allowing Harry to get out of trouble.
why was Harry in trouble in the first place? because he was âtracking mudâ in the corridors.
why was he tracking mud in the corridors? because Oliver Wood had had him out on the Quidditch pitch all day even though it had been literally storming outside. so Harry came into the castle drenched and splattered with mud.
Dumbledore literally died because of how obsessed Oliver Wood was with winning the Quidditch Cup.
thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
sorry, one more thing - people keep reblogging this with tags that imply they think that this is like a âheadcanonâ or just âplausibleâ and while I get why you would think that, I need you to really understand how canonical this is because itâs Very canonical which is Ridiculous
to clarify:
the bits about the Vanishing Cabinet being the only real way he had to get the Death Eaters in, having heard about it from Montague and how that made him realize he could use them as a passage, etc - that was all clearly laid out in HBP, chapter 27 (The Lightning-Struck Tower).
Montague being shoved into the cabinet takes place in OOTP, chapter 28 (Snapeâs Worst Memory).
Draco seeing the cabinet and Harry being in the cabinet is all in CoS, chapter 4 (At Flourish and Blotts).
and the entire situation with the Quidditch practice and the mud and Harry getting in trouble and Nick getting Peeves to drop the cabinet is in CoS, chapter 8 (The Deathday Party).
itâs the lined-up-dominoes meme, and itâs ridiculous. and itâs all on the page.
Itâs better than that.
Voldemort died because Harry was the master of the Elder Wand that Voldemort was trying to use.
Why was Harry the master? Because he overpowered its previous master, Draco, and won its allegiance.
Why was Draco master of the Elder Wand? Because he disarmed Dumbledore in the precise sequence being discussed, which relied on the vanishing cabinet.
Harry defeated Voldemort because of Oliver Woodâs passion for quidditch.
Technically, Draco lead to Dumbledores death twice. Both by getting the death eaters into the castle but also because if it werenât for him stealing Nevilleâs rememberall, Harry wouldnt have ended up on the team at all, and consequentially, getting mud through the corridors
this is exactly the kind of hyper specific meme that I am here for!!!!
