Slytherin 

The Slytherin house is one of the most misunderstood house in the books of Harry Potter. Slytherin students have Ambition, Cunning and Resourcefulness. They also value tradition and are born leaders. It is a plus that they are sexy too.

There are many of mixed blood purities in the house. Snape and Tom Riddle were both Half bloods as was Pansy's best friend. There were also a few Muggle borns as mentioned in the DH book.

Slytherin has long since changed from being a pureblood haven and only dishing out bad wizards.
Notable good wizards from Slytherin are Andromeda Tonks and Horace Slughorn.

Slytherins also love hufflepuffs as they are fluffy.

Slytherins are as smart as Ravenclaws but darker, as powerful as Gryffindors but think before they leap and are loyal to their family and friends like a Hufflepuff.

Never tell a Slytherin they aren't a true Slytherin.

Every Slytherin will be led to greatness.

Merlin was a Slytherin one of the greatest muggle rights activist.
Slytherin people are so freaking awesome

The Slytherin dorm is under a lake! That is like a free aquarium without having to pay a stupid fee. Put your finger on the window and see if a fish follows it.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
