Not All Slytherins Are Evil

Okay... so we have had some bad eggs, but who hasn't?

I swear that we are not all evil, not even every Slytherin from the books are evil. I know..I know. He shall not be named was a Slytherin, but I promise that we're not all crazy and evil like him. WE ARE cunning, not evil and I'll give you some Slytherins who were not evil! Also, this contains spoilers from the latest book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Severus Snape

No matter what anyone tries to say, this man was never evil. In fact, James Potter and Sirius Black were borderline evil with what they had done to him. Yet, Severus still helped Harry, even though he was James' son all because he was also the son of the girl he loved. Dumbledore even trusted him like no other. This man was kind and loyal to those he cared, protecting Harry was an example of his loyalty to Lily. He was a great man and absolutely deserves to have his portrait hung in Hogwarts.

Narcissa Black

Narcissa was never evil. She was a loving mother who unconditionally loved her son more than anything. She was a little screwed in the head when it came to blood purity. Yet, who wouldn't be when you're raised to be that way? She even lied to He Who Shouldn't Be Named about Harry's death. She was a mother who would do anything for her son, and I can't really see the fault in that.

Draco Malfoy

Okay, so the kid was kind of a jerk in the beginning. But, really really who hasn't gone through a phase like that. In the long run, he was just a kid misguided by the beliefs of his parents, who ultimately realized that he was in the wrong. Though, he totally did deserve that punch to the face by Hermione.

Albus Potter

The second son of the boy who lived and the youngest Weasley is, in fact, a Slytherin. Which of course, is absolutely fine BECAUSE WE ARE NOT EVIL. He even became goof friends with Scorpius, Draco's son.

Merlin

Oh yeah, the arguably most famous wizard in history, was a Slytherin. One who believed in muggle rights!

None of the characters I listed are evil, sure some have had some no so nice moments, but they were NOT evil. None of us are. We're cunning, not evil.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
