Hello! Yup, another chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO nor HP
I sighed all the classes were done for today. Finally. I have to go talk to Dumbledore about the protection.
"Lemon drop." I said to the gargoyle. It jumped aside to reveal a stair case. I walked up the stair case. "Dumbledore?" I asked knocking on the door. "Come in." He said.
I walked in. "Headmaster, it has come to my attention that the protection around the school." I said. He nodded in understanding.
"Yes, I think so. Do you mind helping put the borders up once more? No monsters attack in the future correct?" He asked. I nodded. "One more thing, do you mind talking to the Slytherin. You are the head of the house." He said.
"Alright." I agreed. "I'll go down there right now." I said. And got up. I left quickly, and tried to navigate the halls to get into the dungeons. I heard footsteps and froze. I looked around and saw it was Potter and his friends. They had a blank piece of parchment.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Potter said to the paper. It realed a map. I stepped out of the shadows. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, and Mr. Lupin."They froze. "What are you doing out of bed. Wait, go. You two stay." I said.
"Now, hand that over." I said. As soon as Lupin was gone. HE handed it to me reluctantly. "Now would you like to tell me what you are up to?" I asked. "Not really," Black said. I gave them a minor glare. They shivered. "Why don't we discuss this in detention," I said. "Nooo!" Potter and Black said. "We cant go to detention. We promised to not go to detention all year." Potter said.
"Alright, either detention or Gryffindor loses 40 points. Every action has a consequence." I said. They looked torn. "How about will have detention but we keep it to are self's." Black reasoned.
"Well, I guess we could haggle that." I said. "Go now. And don't worry about your friend he's in good hands." I said. "Hay? Isn't there another of you?" I asked. They looked at each other and said,
"Bye Professor!" And left running. I rolled my eyes. Poor professor's every year the get a new Fred and Gorge." I said out loud. I looked down at the map. I smiled. A map of Hogwarts. This could be useful, I walked through the halls finally getting to the dungeons and walked to the Common room. I entered.
Everyone was awake. "Eh hem." I said. They all looked up with a panicked expression. "Relax you're not in trouble." I said. They calmed down a little at that but still looked suspicious.
"I am here to give you the welcome speech." I said. Someone raised their hand. "Go ahead Mr. Black." I said.
"We never had a welcome speech." He said. That gave me another head ach. That's why Gemma Farley gave a welcome speech, because of me. "Okay, well now we are." I said.
"There are four stereotypes at Hogwarts; The brave, the loyal, the clever, and the bustards. There is no real one word to sum up the archetypical Slytherin. Perhaps They are self –sentered, maybe cowardly, cunning even. There is no quality. Which is why everyone always get so confused, even the Slytherin them self's. All they know is they are in Slytherin, that they are alone are each other's family now as they will get no support from outside the house. Stick with Slytherin and Slytherin will stick with you, regardless of the fact that they are a house of back stabbers, and loyalty comes under the hufflepuff description. Who cares about the rules? They're Slytherin. The world now hates you; every single member of every house in the school and out officially and unofficially detest you. They all think they are better then you because you are Slytherin. You are cowardly and back-stabbing, self-centered, and cunning, and there is nothing you can do to convince them otherwise, so don't even bother. No, Slytherin is key under the illusion as to their status, the whole house gathers in the great hall to hear there reminder. "The world doesn't want to know who we are, they don't know, they don't want to know and they don't deserve to know." I said, I paused. The older kids came down to see what was up and started listening.
I began again "We know them, we know all of them. They are not better than you. You are not foolishly noble, you are bot blind and a pushover, you are not so busy stuffing your head into a book that you'll never need that you can't see the world coming, you are not a fool. You play the game and come out on top, whichever way you can because there is no way, that anyone welse will let you beat them by their rules. You make your own rules and you win by them. You stick together, united we stand, and Slytherin does stand. Divided we fall, and we will not allow our grand house to fall after centuries of rest of the world willing us to end. We will not give them the satisfaction.
"Slytherin is one quarter standing against thrice our force; they will not see us weak. Here in Slytherin we are family, but trust is stupid. Trust those who are proven trustworthy and then proven again. Blind trust is stupid yes, but no trust even more so. The Slytherin code is recited, recited, the only rule, they are required to stand by." I paused.
"1. Slytherins defend their own. We are too few and too mistrusted by others to afford inside battles. If mistrusting of another member, tell someone. If annoyed at another member, channel your anger into taunting and fights with enemies outside of Slytherin. Let them hate so long as they fear.
2. A mistake commonly made: Dark is not necessarily evil. The majority of Slytherins are dark, but whether you are evil or not is you choice and nobody else's.
3. If you run from a fight beyond your abilities, you are not a coward. You are intelligent.
4. Blood and money, though often useful, are no necessity. Ambition is all that is needed for success.
5. Never underestimate anyone. It could be the last thing you ever do. Even muggles, they may be slightly inferior, but you should still never underestimate them so.
8. Just as in life, in Slytherin there is no such thing as 'for free'. There is a price for everything.
9. Don't treat others as you want to be treated, treat others as they treat you.
10. Enough is never enough. Seriously, it isn't.
11. It is not my job to tell you what is right and wrong. So I'll simply tell you this: Do what you think is right. Though it may not always. Be the right thing, it is the best you can do. True, the world always seems to demand more than you can give. If that's the case, then screw the world. Slytherins make and live by our own rules and nothing they can do id going to change that. Now this is ends here. We are not open and exspressive and emotional so you can all shut up, ansd ig you have a problem, don't come to me. We're family, but that doesn't mean I cant take advantage. Blind trust is stupid. So basicly, as I'm sure all the little firsties wont remember all that, we are family, trust only when earned, stick together, don't give anyone else satisfaction, no one knows us and they neither deserve to and the world hates you all. Welcome to Slytherin."
So, the speech came froma story called welcome to Slytherin. Hop tou enjoyed and make sure to review.
