Dichotomy

by Yuuki no Yuki

Not every Slytherin ends up in the Snake Pit. Some cave to parental bias, some follow friends or family, and some make a calculated decision to align themselves with the most underestimated house in a bid for safety and security.

"Hey, you're the girl who's friends with some Slytherins, right?"

"Why?"

"We have an upcoming test? Anyway, he's in Slytherin so they might let you in."

The girl stared at him, thoughts racing, "...tutor my friends and I in defense," she bargained.

A smile, and, "sure!"
