This is an Apology for being gone for so long. College apps and scholarships are really getting to me. I should be getting out the next chapter within the next week or two. Just letting all of you know I'm in no way giving up on writing and I never will! :3

I wrote this poem on a whim. It's for a facebook contest. Nothing big just 50 extra house points.

I hope you like it!

A True Slytherin

By: Kowai Neko Senpai

What? What is this?

How can this be so?

Yes, yes, little miss!

Well, how do you know?

You all trust this stupid hat

To decide your future

Just like that?

I'm bookish,

I'm shy.

I'm not known

To lie.

I'm trying to tell you all,

I'm not a Slytherin.

But this hat has the gall

To say-

Slytherin!

They're sly.

They're cunning.

Ambitious, shrewd,

And shunning

To those who might be

The best of friends to me.

And yet you've said repeatedly-

Slytherin!

Well you know what I say?

Ravenclaws are smart;

I get A's for a start.

Hufflepuffs play fair;

And sometimes I do care.

Gryffindors may be daring,

But at least they aren't overbearing.

And yet the little voice in my head is saying-

You're ambitious.

You know it.

As for cunning,

You show it.

Self preservation,

Determination.

You're a Leader

Who will be there

To chase away the fools

With her certain disregard for the rules!

Slytherins are so much more

Than what you give them credit for.

All those traits may be true,

But face it; it's the place for you!

The best of the best

Have shown the rest

That it's what you do

That makes the real you!

Snape is your Hero.

You've known this for years.

He's the one in your dreams;

He's chased away your fears.

So now I'm listening

To that voice in my head.

I won't let Voldemort

Fill my heart with dread.

I will be the best Slytherin I can be

For the rest of eternity!
