Slytherin House is said to be the home of all Dark Wizards. It is said by most that Slytherins are a load of snooty, manipulative little brats. We are always pushed aside in favour of other houses.
Even after I have said that little, it should be clear to you that ever since Salazar Slytherin deserted the other founders, and this school, over a thousand years ago, we of Slytherin have had nothing but bad press.
I myself am not truly regarded as being a Slytherin. That hat always makes mistakes, of course. If it had bothered to even look into my mind it would have seen that I am a Ravenclaw, not a Slytherin, but the hat judged me by my name and not my personality. That is one of the reasons why Slytherin House is home to so many of the ancient pureblood lines; the hat heard the name 'Goyle' and placed me in Slytherin, just like all of my ancestors.
Slytherin is nothing like it seems, and neither am I. I suppose that is the only way in which I fit into this House.
What would you say if I told you that I scored tenth in the year, only a few points below people like Hermione Granger and Eloise Midgen? You wouldn't believe me, would you? That's the problem with being a Slytherin; this House has been home to so many liars that no one believes a Slytherin, even when he is telling the truth.
No one would believe me if I told the truth about how I feel about this damned House. I feel as though we have been let down by society. No one wants a Slytherin working for them; they think that we are untrustworthy, simply because we come from a House which was home to many known Death Eaters.
No one from any other House would want Slytherins as friends either; they hate us because of events a thousand years past.
Strange, isn't it? Slytherins are shown to be the prejudiced ones when, in truth, it is the other Houses that are prejudiced against us.
