Slytherin get a lot of bad rep. We're evil, we're cunning, we're arseholes to put it lightly. That description corresponds well with my horoscope Virgo to be honest. I've fully accepted that I am a somewhat evil person, I have a very dark sense of humour and more often then not if there's a bad guy in a film I've probably fallen in love with him and looked for fanfiction. Such is my sad life. Eg: Bane from Batman, omfg please just take me away you're gravelly voice and muscly arms are killing me softly.
Children have literally burst into tears from taking the Pottermore test and finding out they're #TeamSlytherin. Where as I had already bought a Slytherin hoodie and cushion from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter before I had even taken the test. Sometimes you just know.
One trait that resonates with me is that Slytherins have a strong sense of loyalty. They never leave their own behind. I like that. Voldemort can't be considered a good example of this but it's fair to say that the slimy walrus isn't like most. I think characters that have an evil side are more interesting. If someone always does 'the right thing', even if the result of that good thing doesn't turn out to be good at all, it's the human nature, that selfish streak that we all have, and that fascinating urge to do the wrong thing that sets people apart. It's all good and well to have the real people in your life be loyal and good at heart, but when you're watching a movie, or reading a book, or watching a tv show, it's the bad guys that make the experience memorable.
I'm quite happy with my house, no issue here, but I'm not quite getting the Patronus...
My patronus essentially a house cat with no tail. I mean... one of the best things about cats is their flicky tails. Out of 142 patronuses and the possibility of getting a Aardvark as a protronus, I guess I got pretty lucky. And I suppose having that cat connection with McGonagall is pretty cool too. Some patronuses are considered 'rare' too. Have you taken the test yet? What did you get? Check below to see if you have a rare or unusual patronus. There is also a very long post about how the quiz works if you're interested, but I'd recommend taking the test before you read this. No cheaters!

Haha, "slimy walrus". That's perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Slytherin, though I like to think that those with true cunning don't like to shout about it, and my Patronus is a Borzoi. I'm more of a cat person, but oh well.
