Slytherin. What comes to your mind?
Badbootie witches and wizards? Draco Malfoy? Villainy?
Want to know what comes to my mind? Me.
I am a Slytherin. I am proud. Yes, we have Dark Wizards. Yes, we have a bit more than the others. But you want to know why?
Because we have ambition. Oh yes, we love being ambitious. Got 3 essays due in three months? Done in the first. Being in a race? You can bet that we’ll do anything to win.
We are cunning. Us snakes are sneaky. You can be as sure as Hermione Granger that we’ll study our butts off for the test, but we will not hesitate to look over for half a second for that one answer.
This is why we have more Dark Wizards. We dare. We dare to achieve what we want, because no one can separate our beliefs from us. Yes, we have Dark Wizards. But, like snakes, not all of us are venomous.
We are not all evil. There are some of us who act like Hufflepuffs, some who act more like a Ravenclaw, there are even some who act like Gryffindors. That is a Slytherin.
The “Hufflepuff” Slytherins are loyal and hardworking. They will stay up all night working on the Potions project due in a fortnight so they can follow around their worried best friend’s boy/girlfriend to see if they’re up to no good.
The “Ravenclaw” Slytherins are the ones who have a strict schedule, the ones with the scarily good ability to find out secrets. They won’t hesitate to safeguard those secrets or throw them out to the public, depending on what exactly you did to them.
The “Gryffindor” Slytherins are polite, but reckless. They’ll stand up in the middle of the Great Hall and shout and hex hex you if you hurt their friends, not caring how many detentions they get because you don’t mess with snakes.
We are Slytherins. We are not evil. We are powerful beings that are usually feared because of our ancestors, those of our kind. Yes, there are venomous snakes, like the Rattlesnake, but there are the non-lethal ones, like the Garden snake. So the next time you want to call us evil, think twice.
We are not evil. We are snakes, beautiful and misunderstood. But we will not hesitate to strike if you attack. You best understand that before speaking around snakes.
