Slytherin, also known as Slytherine and Slitherin, is one of the student houses at Hogwarts school in England. It bears little resemblance to Slytherin in the books, upon which it is based. In the books, Slytherin values cunning, resourcefulness, leadership, and ambition in its students, while the Slytherins in My Immortal show very little to none of these qualities.
Slytherins are all goffik Stanists, wear black, listen to emo/goth music, and wear tons of make-up; Satan implies that punks are also part of this house. Slytherins are hated by the Christian, preppy Griffindoors, such as Snap and Britney.
Notable members[]
Present Slytherins[]
- Draco Malfoy: One of the few Slytherins who is both a Slytherin in the books as well as in My Immortal.
- Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way: A very thinly veiled self-insert, she's a very obvious Mary Sue.
- Vampire Potter: Harry Potter has apparently gone completely insane from the pressures of fame in the wizarding world, and now giggles at the thought of drinking human blood (and moans for no reason).
- B'loody Mary Smith: She apparently belonged to Griffindoor at one time, but moved to Slytherin house after converting to Satanism. In a later Author's Note, it's stated that B'loody Mary moved houses because she is an evil vampire.
- Dracula: Like his girlfriend B'loody Mary, Dracula once belonged to Griffindoor house, but was moved.
- Willow: A representation of the author's best friend.
Past Slytherins[]
- Tom Satan Bombodil: Since this is the past Voldemort, this is also a character who was sorted in Slytherin in both My Immortal and the original books.
- Lucian Malfoy: Another Slytherin who is also a Slytherin in the original books.
- Samaro Potter: Originally James Potter. He's named after Samara from The Ring.
- Crab and Goyle: Apparently, Crab and Goyle, who are Slytherins in canon, have been conflated with the Weasley Twins, Fred and George, who are from Gryffindoor.
Former members[]
- Snap: Was in Slytherin at one point, but later moved to Griffindoor no doubt due to his preppiness.
Difference from the original[]
In the original Harry Potter series, the traits of Slytherin house are ambition, resourcefulness, determination, and cleverness. Most Slytherin students have a disregard for the rules and tend to bend or break them to achieve whatever goal they set for themselves. As per the founder's wishes, the house only includes those born of wizards. In the twentieth century, the house got a bad reputation of being a breeding ground for Dark Wizards. This is because Voldemort, as well as most of his Death Eaters, originated from Slytherin.
In My Immortal, the only traits Slytherin seems to be known for are Goffikness and Stanism as all of its known members are Goffs who practice Stanism. It needs no mentioning (but still will be) that these traits are completely absent from the original Potter series. On the other hand, none of the canonical Slytherin traits are present in its members. None of them display any particular cleverness, determination or do have ambition for anything except being goffikest of all the goffs...and "doin it" lots of times in the most inappropriate places. Its reputation for being a bastion of dark magic also seems to be absent, as all the protagonists hail from this house. In fact, dark wizards, like Snap, are explicitly mentioned NOT to be in Slytherin.
Another big difference is that Slytherin is relaxed to its pure-blood only policy, as it freely admits vampires or half-vampires, as evident when half of its named members have vampiric heritage.
That being said, members of this house do have a penchant for using dark magic against those they dislike.
