17 The true face of Slytherin

Prefects led us to the dungeons on the way the temperature dropped drastically. The prefect whose name was Nero Jugson gave the first year's introduction to the Slytherin house till we reached the entrance.

"Our emblem is the serpent, the wisest of creatures; our house colors are emerald green and silver, and our common room lies behind a concealed entrance down in the dungeons. As you'll see, its windows look out into the depths of the Hogwarts lake. We often see the giant squid swooshing by — and sometimes more interesting creatures. We like to feel that our hangout has the aura of a mysterious, underwater shipwreck.

Till he finished we had already reached the entrance, and the perfect looked at us which earned him the attention of every student. "Always say Slytherin in your head and then say the allotted password aloud, this is a defense mechanism in case any Gryffindor gets their hands or ears on the password and tries to open it They will get bitten by a venomous snake".

Tom remembered this mechanism was removed by dumbledore when he became the headmaster. Due to which many Gryffindors dared to infiltrate their dormitories especially Tom remembers snape's memories when he was there in the Malfoy manner to become one of his servant death eaters. As usual, he checking the loyalty of every volunteer. Tom saw that Potter and Black regularly infiltrated the Slytherin dormitories to prank on them. At that moment he was so angry that he had crucio'ed a servant into insanity.

It has always been like that he had been partial to the Gryffindor house and always neglected Slytherin. This was one of the many reasons Tom wanted to become defense against the dark arts professor back then.

They all entered the common room. The view was cozy there were light green couches and wooden tables one of which had 5th-year books, probably some over-enthusiastic owl attendee studying.

The perfect turned towards us and cleared his throat. He took a deep breath and said "All of you take out your wands and repeat after me"

We took out our wands. Tom knew what was going on, this was a Slytherin custom that every first year had to do since its creation.

Jugson took his wand and stretched his hand so that his wand was perpendicular to his body(pledge position).

"We the children of magic vow today that we will do our best to uphold the legacy of The great Salazar Slytherin founder of Hogwarts and teacher of Merlin. We the children of Hogwarts vow to protect our own outside the boundaries of our nest. We all vow to put a united face in front of others. We all vow to be eternal brothers

Salazar".

This was a vow which every Slytherin had to take as a first-year, it was made for the well-being of our own as Salazar was not in a favorable light for his obviously right ideologies. Others couldn't see the threat that was muggles, but Salazar was a visionary, he understood the threat that muggles possess. He wanted muggle-borns to have education but not on the level of purebloods or half-bloods as they may one day revolt against us proper wizards. But Godric and Helga were totally against him

-----------------

A bald man in green robes furiously smashes the glass in his hands and looks at a man in red robes and says

"You do not understand Godric, muggles are a heavy threat to our kind and one day they will revolt against us and kill us all"

The red-robed man looked as if he had sucked a whole lemon. He looked at the woman beside him and says

"Do you agree with him, Helga?" In response, the woman shook her head.

Salazar looked betrayed, his face had fury and he felt defeated as he couldn't even convince his friends.

"You have seen the prophecy Godric and I know that someday somewhen it will come to be and all of the wizarding kind will suffer because of you". Salazar jabbed his fingers in Godric's chest and strode away angrily and In the chambers remained a broken Gryffindor and a hurt Hufflepuff.

[Hey guys I have been making this chapter for three hours straight and it took a lot out of me so, if you like it please vote and show your appreciation. I just don't wanna make it a Voldemort story, I want to make it a Hogwarts and then wizarding story. I have great ambitions for this one and I hope it goes to something 200 chapters minimum]
