| | Being Slytherin... On the side of the Slytherin Pride Table, there is a note in Green Ink that said: There are many misconceptions on what makes a Slytherin, a Slytherin. Many think it's being mean, getting in trouble and causing mayhem. To me being Slytherin is about being cunning, being the best, and having pride. Pride for who you are and pride in the things you do.
Slytherins share a lot in common with the characteristics of those in other houses. Slytherins can be just as loyal and hardworking as Hufflepuffs, just as intelligent and clever as Ravenclaws, and just as brave and bold as Gryffindors.
So, then what makes Slytherins unique? Many would say it is our ambition. We relentlessly strive to be our personal best. We are satisfied with nothing less than success and will use whatever resources we have to achieve our goals.
Ollivader of Ollivander's Wand Shop is famously quoted as saying, "....He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things – terrible, yes, but great." And History tells us the Sorting hat itself said to Harry Potter: "Not Slytherin, eh? - Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that."
Slytherin will help you to greatness, but only if you make the effort to make yourself great, through your own ambition and drive. Remember, being in Slytherin is an honor; Slytherins only accept the best! Now, tell me... What does being Slytherin means to YOU?"

| BEING A SLYTHERIN IS ABOUT STRIVING,
ABOUT WANTING TO BE HERE,
ABOUT BELIEVING IN WHAT YOU CAN DO.
BEING A SLYTHERIN DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE THE BEST,
IT MEANS THAT WE DON'T CARE IF WE'RE BEING BETTER THAN EVERYONE,
WE JUST CARE ABOUT NOT BEING OUR WORST.
WE ARE SLYTHERIN,
WE KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST,
WE ARE OUR BEST, |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Bennett Potter Slytherin Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Atlas Ward Ravenclaw First Year | Toto * RotiSila * ToRo * Braveheart * Grandma & Mama Tori Being a Slytherin, means that we have the will-power to reinforce change. It is the attitude that you can do anything, no matter how unlikely it seems. Being a Slytherin is having a supporting web around you; with everyone else striving to be as amazing as they can be.
Being in Slytherin is an honor as only those who can be the best are accepted into its house. Whether that means the best at potions, transfigurations or at flying; it is not specified and it does not matter. Just push yourself to your limits and watch the possibilities grown abundantly in front of you.
Be Slytherin; Be Loud; Be Proud.

First Year | Bieng a Slytherin is knowing what pride is. Knowing that you can take lead in the most dangerous of events. Trying to change yourself in ways that can make you better at everything you want to achieve in. You don't back down from the hardest of challenges.
Bieng a Slytherin means not caring what others think of you. Knowing what is right and what is wrong. Never letting anyone take down your guard for everything.
Bieng a Slytherin is knowing that you have Pride, Intelligence, and Leadership!

Being in Slytherin is knowing the fact that you have the guts to do whatever needs to be done. It is the fact that you don't have to be evil, you can surprise everyone by ending up as the best witch or wizard ever.
It's knowing that no matter what people will always wonder how you became what you are. It's knowing that you have the respect of the other houses. It's knowing that you are cunning enough to get accepted. It's knowing that people will always expect something from you, but you can always surprise them bye doing something completely different.
Being a Slytherin is being Surprising, Being Respected and Knowing that you have Leadership!
