Slytherins get a bad rap, mostly because the most well known Slytherins don't do a good job of representing our house! When people hear the word 'Slytherin' most people think of Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape and Voldemort. But did you know Merlin himself was a Slytherin? Don't believe every bad thing you hear about Slytherins! We might have a bad reputation, but I wouldn't want to be in any other house. So here are some reasons why it's great to be in Slytherin.
1. “Or perhaps in Slytherin you'll make your real friends,"
As said by the Sorting Hat, you'll make true friends in Slytherin! We Slytherins are fiercely loyal and protective of our friends.
2. “Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends."
3. We have the best housemates:
4. You don't mess with snakes:
5. We're persuasive:
Again, that doesn't have to be a bad thing!! Picture this: a Slytherin that uses their persuasion to lift people's self-confidence by convincing them they're wonderful.
6. We put ourselves first sometimes- and thats ok.
If someone treats us bad, we don't let them get away with it. If something isn't good for our mental health, we cut it from our lives. We love and respect ourselves and we don't let anyone walk all over us. We have lots of self-pride and house pride. Slytherin forever!
