I am Slytherin
Don't look at me like that. Like I just crawled outof the sewers covered
in slime and filth.
Like I slithered my way up your front walk
and murdered your whole family.
Don't deny it, they all look at me like that.
All of them.
The brainy, to-smart-for-their-own-good Ravenclaws.
The adoring, weak, pathetic Hufflepuffs.
But most of all those stupid bloody Gryffindors.
And yes I know you all think I'll grow up to be a despised
Death Eater just like Mummy and Daddy.
And I'll serve that sniviling prima donna they call
their "Dark Lord",
well nuh-uh, no, nope, not for me.
If you want to run around killing innocent
witches and wizards
and those oblivious muggles
thats your card,
but I refuse to be looked at and revered as a
cold, heartless monster.
Professor Snape had the right idea returning to our side
and helping us against Voldemort.
Oh stop that. I can see you wincing from here.
That is his name, well not really,
but you didn't think his parents really named him
You-Know-Who did you?
So I might be coniving, manipulative, cunning, sneaky,
slightly slimey but I have special soap,
and many other things you would use to describe me and my housemates.
I like my house.
I like my housemates.
I do taunt and tease other houses.
I am good at Quidditch.
I am loyal to those I alone can trust.
I know who I am.
I am Slytherin.
