10 things you didn't know about Slytherin House

1. Slytherin House has its own dictionary. Among the entries in the dictionary are the words "Maliment (N): A complement given in the mannor of a Malfoy.", "Sevcasm (N): Sarcasm given in a style that delivers both an obvious insult and a hidden complement. Most effective when used in a baritone British voice." and "Gryffindork (N): Idot."

2. After the end of VWI, in as equal numbers as possible, Slytherin students train in both Light and Dark magic. This way one side can always bail out the other.

3. Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody was the last Slytherin Head Boy until 2024-2025 school year when Albus Severus Potter was awarded the badge.

4. In the left most corner of the common room, behind the tapestry of Eric-the-Mad, forth brick up and firth brick from the corner is a brick made of obsidian rather than granite. When taped in a 3-5-3 pattern while humming "Greensleeves" it shows the teachers lounge.

5. Unlike other dorms, the boys and girls are not divided into separate rooms. The only room divisions are by year. This is so Slytherin boys learn to resists 'feminine wiles' and the Slytherin girls learn to combat 'manly protection'. Sex in the dorm rooms is strictly forbidden by Slytherin tradition.

6. They have sex in the well furnished 'storage' rooms off the common room.

7. Slytherin has its own research library. It is full of dark and light magic books along with the essays of the Slytherin students of past years that were grated E- or better. Blackmail material is not storied in this library.

8. Blackmail material is stored in the Blackmail cubby to the right of the fire place. It contains materials about any non Slytherin people currently in Hogwarts and notable still living graduates.

9. There are two passwords to the Slytherin common room. One is the common password, known to teachers and students alike, the other is a password know only to current Slytherin students and the head of house. When the common password is given charms activate to hide the blackmail cubby, 'storage' rooms, and Slytherin research library. These charms can only be deactivated by the other password.

10. After the end of the of VWII a new catch phrase became popular among the students. When an older student failed to best a younger student at something it became known as 'pulling a Voldemort'.
