Slytherin

====**Salazar Slytherin** was a great wizard of Medieval times. He was a parselmouth (a wizard with the rare abiliy to speak with snakes), and skilled at Legilimency. He was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. -- [|HP Wiki] ====

As Marvolo Guant and his family were distantly related to Salazar Slytherin, and to Cadmus Peverelle (creator of the mythical Resurrection Stone), it can be assumed that Slytherin may also have been related to the ancient Peverelle family.

**Q: How many Slytherins does it take to light up a wand?**

Q:How many Gryffindors does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A:Three and you know who they are. Q:How many Ravenclaws does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A:None of them can see the books that tell them how to do it. Q:How many Slytherins does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A:0. Two: one student to do it and one Head of House to give them a profable amount of points. Q:How many Hufflepuffs does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A:You tell me how many Hufflepuffs there are, and I'll tell you how many it takes to light a wand..

After founding Hogwarts and coexisting for years, a rift eventually began to grow between Slytherin and the other founders. Slytherin despised taking students from [|Muggle] families, seeing them as untrustworthy, and tried to persuade the other [|founders] to only take students from [|pure-blood] families. However, the other founders didn't agree with Slytherin, particularly Gryffindor. Eventually, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a huge argument over the subject, and the end result was that Slytherin chose to leave the school --[|HP Wiki]

The Chamber of Secrets ** (has been opened!) //  **-** Deep within Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin left something of a parting gift after an argument over the teaching of muggle born students and his eventual departure from the school. The Chamber of Secrets, as it is called, can only be opened by those gifted with the ability to speak parseltounge (presumably his descendants). It's purpose, to unleash a monstrous basilisk upon the student body in the hopes of eradicating all muggle-born students, thereby protecting the school's purity. The entrance to the Chamber is located behind a sink in one of the second floor bathrooms.

** A: ** So no one could tell what side he was on. //"The Dark Arts are many, varied, ever-changing and eternal. Fighting them is like fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than before. You are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible." **--Severus Snape HBP** //
