The colors of Slytherin

'Salazar, why green?' asked Helga one day, when they were eating dinner in the Great Hall.
'I mean, you like black and white the most, but the Slytherin's badge is green' she added.

She wondered about that since Salazar declared that silver and green were going to be forever associated with the Slytherin House. Choosing silver she could understand - his favourite cobra was grey. But he didn't even wearclothes in those colors!

Silence reigned for a long time. Parselmouth was eating leisurely not looking at her as if he didn't hear the question. Which was impossible, because she asked loudly and he was sitting close to her.

Rowena pondered over this choice too, so she was also waiting for hisresponse. Only Godric seemed restless, he was squirming in his chair and looking at Slytherin with apprehension.

When Helga lost hope of getting an answer, Salazar swallowed the last bite of roast, drank red wine and stood up from the table.

'Godric has green eyes' he muttered quietly. And he went out, leaving petrified witches and embarrassed Gryffindor, choking on his tea.
