Come.

Hey brother!

Okay guys, let's talk Harry Potter.

It's a great big story about good versus evil,

Harry versus Voldemort,

and even in some ways Godrich versus Salazar.

A battle that fractured a friendship and nearly a millennium later

is still going on through the air of Slytherin himself.

That link back to Slytherin is so important throughout

the entire story and Baltimore recruits most, if not all of his followers from Slytherin House.

The most pure-blooded of them all come together to redefine what it means to be a wizard.

In a bad way, let's clarify that. It's the Malfoys, the strange Lestrange, Rosier's, Crabs and Goyles, Avery, Bulstrad, Parkinson, Travers, Burke, and Crouch. Name after name, directly from the Sacred 28th, the longest and purest bloodbines.

And that is purest as long as you don't pay too much attention to the limited dating pool.

Did you know that Sirius's parents were literally cousins?

Cuz they were.

Honestly, as a member of Slytherin House, this is frustrating.

Like, it would have been great just to have one character, one character who was good.

I mean, there's Snape, really when it comes down to it, he mostly started or contributed to a lot of this.

Slugorn, he reluctantly came on board heroically.

Woo!

All of that to say though, what if I were to tell you
