Hogwarts Homes as Forms of Mates: Slytherin Version

Every of the Hogwarts Homes has a definite character of its personal, and it’s actually their little traits that set them aside from the opposite Homes and make them particular. Nonetheless, within the spirit of Home unity, what if we noticed these traits as enhances of the others? It’s fascinating to think about mixtures that might come collectively in an inter-Home friendship and the way they could feed into one another’s completely different quirks. In relation to the Slytherins, we’ve got some concepts about how the residents of the dungeons would work together with of us from the remainder of the Homes.

Ravenclaw: The “Let’s Go on a Tangent” Good friend 

The snakes and eagles each like to spin concepts of their heads, whether or not they be wacky theories in regards to the multiverse or methods to attain international domination. Slytherins and Ravenclaws have a good time bouncing concepts backwards and forwards.  Whereas they won’t be one of the best of mates, the Ravenclaws — being admittedly extra intellectually superior — perceive how wild our minds can run and are in a position to empathize and supply a way of rationality. This makes them one of the best of us for Slytherins to vent to and assist them speak via a dilemma from an goal perspective.

Gryffindor: The “Share One Mind Cell” Good friend

When Slytherins and Gryffindors get alongside, they’re a power to be reckoned with — or to be steered away from. They make a infamous pair, each up on their excessive hippogriffs with little or no impulse management to go round. They feed off one another’s chaotic power, pulling pranks on each other that, to an individual with a sliver of sanity, would appear totally absurd and borderline harmful. However they’re each totally having fun with this complete alternate. Though they might ever admit it out loud, Slytherins recognize Gryffindors’ capacity to grasp and match their lunatic tendencies, they usually miss their Gryffindor buddies once they’re not round.

Hufflepuff: The “I’ve Bought Your Again” Good friend

Slytherins and Hufflepuffs share a bond that’s nothing in need of being platonic soulmates. Hufflepuffs are the one ones affected person sufficient to actually get to know somebody with none judgment. Since Slytherins are sometimes on edge, they honestly recognize the secure area that Hufflepuffs create. They floor Slytherins and hold their heads in the suitable place. In return for that kindness and compassion, Slytherins would transfer mountains for his or her Hufflepuff counterparts. Merlin provide help to in case you a lot as harm a hair on a Hufflepuff’s head — your solely choices are both to flee the continent or be prepared to simply accept your grotesque destiny.

Whereas competitors will be enjoyable, the 4 Homes don’t all the time need to try for superiority. Somewhat than sticking with our personal variety in our tiny echo chambers, we are able to study to simply accept our variations and recognize everybody’s individuality. Positive, we would not all the time get alongside, however we’d even be depriving ourselves of the distinctive perspective that every Home brings to the desk. In any case, selection is the spice of life.
