Faculty of Slytherin Biography
I am the headman Jamma Farley, and I am glad to welcome you to the Slytherin faculty. Our coat of arms is a snake, the wisest of creatures. Our colors are emerald green and silver. The entrance to our living room is hidden in the dungeons of Hogwarts. As you will see, her windows overlook the underground lakes of the castle. We often see a giant squid, and sometimes more interesting creatures, are flying past us with a whistle.
We like to think that our refuge is shrouded in an atmosphere of mystery and underwater shipwrecks. Here are some things that you should know about Slytherin, and some more - forget. Firstly, let's dispel some myths. Perhaps rumors about the faculty of Slytherin reached you - as if we are all dark magicians and will communicate with you if your great -grandfather was a great wizard, and everything is like that.
Well, you don’t want to believe everything that you hear from the faculties that are competing with us. I do not deny that we released our share of dark magicians, but the other three faculties also released them - they simply do not want to admit it. And yes, we have a tradition of taking students who have come out of numerous generations of wizards and sorceresses, but at present on Slytherin you can find a large number of students who have at least one of the parents of Muggl.
Here is a little -known fact that the other three faculties are not very and taken into account: Merlin studied on Slytherin. Yes, Merlin himself, the most famous wizard in the world! He learned everything that he knew at our faculty! Do you want to follow in the footsteps of Merlin? Or will you better sit at the old table of the famous graduate of Puffendi, Eglantine Puffett, the inventor of a self -propelled rag for washing dishes?
I don't think so. But it’s enough that it has nothing to do with us. Let's talk about who we are.
Our faculty is the most cool and impudent at school. We play victory because we care about the honor and traditions of Slytherin. We also enjoy the respect of our Brother-Student. Yes, this respect can have some shade of fear because of our dark reputation, but you know what? It can be funny, have a reputation as a adherent of the dark side. Rub a few hints that you have access to a whole library of curses, and look at if anyone wants to steal your pencil case.
But we are good people. We, like our coat of arms: smooth, strong and often misunderstood. For example, we, Slytherins, look after each other care about each other, which cannot be said about Kogtewrun. Not to mention the fact that the claws are the largest herd, which you have ever seen, they go to each other in their heads to get good grades, while we, Slytherins, brothers. Hogwarts corridors can throw surprises for unprepared ones, and you will be glad that the snakes are on your side while you move around the school.
In our opinion, having once become a snake, you become one of us - one of the elite. Do you know what Salazar Slytherin was looking for in his students? Semen of greatness. You were chosen to this faculty, because you have the potential to become great in the literal sense of the word. Well, you can see a couple of people wandering around the common living room, about which you could not think that something special was prepared for them.
Great, keep your opinion to you. If the distribution hat directed them here, then they have something outstanding, and do not forget about it. And, speaking of people who are not intended to be great, I did not mention the Gryffindors. Many people say that the Slytherins and Gryffindors are two sides of the same medal. Personally, I think that the Gryffindors are nothing more than the imitators of the Slytherins.
Note that some people say that Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor appreciated the same qualities among students, so perhaps we are more like we would like to think. But this does not mean that we are friendly with the Gryffindors. They love to win us only a little less than we love to win them. Another things that you might need to know: the full -time ghost of our faculty is a bloody baron.
If you get along with him, he will sometimes agree to intimidate people for you. Just do not ask him where he got bloody spots, he does not like it. The password from the Slytherin living room changes every two weeks. Follow the board of ads. Never bring anyone from another faculty to our living room and do not tell them our password. None of the outsiders had come to us for more than seven centuries.
Well, I think that's all. I'm sure you will like our bedrooms. We sleep in ancient beds under a canopy with green silk drapery and under the bedspreads embroidered with a silver thread. Medieval tapestries depicting the adventures of famous Slytherins, cover the walls, and silver lamps hang from the ceiling. You will sleep well. The splash of water in the lake, coming from the window, calms down.
Each year, the team competes with other teams of faculties for the Cup of the School of Quiddich.The players of the team, for sure, because of their natural ambitiousness, have always been known to the aggressive, tough game. The national team acquired an eternal enemy in the person of Minerva McGonagall, then the future graduate of Hogwarts during the last match was hardly overthrown from the broom and lay in the hospital wing for several weeks.
Subsequently, McGonagall became deanogrifindor and always called on the national team of her faculty especially zealously fighting them. Before entering the school, Harry Potter, however, her hopes were not justified every time: for six years in a row, the Hogwarts Cup has won Slytherin. When selecting the team, at least, the player’s speed was not valued in, but his strength, unprincipled or wallet.
In the year, Draco Malfoy received a place in the team after his father bought the latest knuckles to all players. In the year, the “friends” of Malfoy - Crabb and Goyle - ideal beaters, strong and ruthless, ready to push even a girl from broom pulled into the team. More than once, the Slytherins violated the rules during matches, but, unfortunately, they were not always punished for this.
What are the players, these are the fans of the national team, mostly Slytherins - they not only support their team, but also come up with various chants designed to humiliate rivals. So, in the year they composed the screaming “Weasley - our king”, not at all praising the goalkeeper of the Gryffindors, but undermining his self -confidence.
