Chapter 1- Salazar Slytherin

They call me evil now. My house is where the ones destined for darkness come from. TO quote the youngest boy of those disgraceful Weasleys,

"There isn't a witch or wizard that went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.

In defense of my little Snakes…

Peter Pettigrew

Amongst others but does anyone ever take them into account? I think not. I also have my questions about Albus Dumbledore but who would question his actions? After all…

It's all for the greater good.

So I watch,

Guarding those strong enough to survive seven years of their life dealing with the school's prejudiced hatred and face the biased world it had created after graduation.

Sitting here in silence as those cursed with my emerald tie struggle in a world that wishes them dead. And wondering…

Just how different every one of them would have been if that hatred had not existed.

It is times like these that I wish a certain James Potter's statement had been fulfilled.

"There should have never been a Slytherin house."

But it isn't and so I watch…

As families turn away from their children…

As brother curses brother…

As first years cry out in pain due to seventh year spell work…

As hard work is ignored and punishments dealt unfairly…

As favoritism is blatantly shown and innocence is destroyed…

And all I can do is wonder…

When will both sides of the story be heard?

But then I realize that the answer is quite simple really…

…NEVER…

Hello Everyone.

Welcome to my drabble series on the thoughts of the Portraits found around Hogwarts! If you would like me to do a specific Portrait or a theme for one of them then don't be afraid of the review box bellow. I am also willing to be encouraged to turn any of these drabbles into their own actual stories. Also I know that I probably should have started with someone a little more frequent on an overdone topic but…

…I didn't feel like it. So please don't flame me for this incredibly out of character Salazar Slytherin, I have yet to figure out where exactly I get my ideas and inspiration from for these stories.

I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. OK, done? Good.

See you next time!

BYE!
