My Slytherin Pride
By Luxa
I am writing this to you all this month to inform you about some recent awakenings I've had: Slytherin really is the best house. I'm not just saying that because I'm in Slytherin, though. If I had been sorted into any other house, I'd be paying $30 to be cool and have the little green word under my username. You guys are the best, and although we have gone through some rough periods lately, most of you have stayed together. It's really beautiful.
People are going to tell you there are problems, but honestly? This is a family. I'm not saying that it's drama free (we know it isn't), but we still manage to pull through as a great team. We WIN through adversity. I know a lot of people have left us, and while it's extremely sad, it's also created a movement throughout the house. A movement to be true to the house. A movement to show our house pride. THIS is why I love being your Head Girl. I am constantly amazed at the people in the house.
I joined hex in 2010. I immediately became a regular in the common room and dorm, which earned me nomination and then election as Prefect and Head Girl (x2). All of that was interesting, all of it was fun. I've gotten to work with all different kinds of leaders and people- but mostly, I've loved making the friends I have made with my job and just the things I do in Slytherin.
I'm so happy to have this family that we have built and that continues to grow. We are probably one of the less active houses (member-wise), yet we're still pulling in this win for the House Cup. We give the Ravenclaws a run for their money, and guys that is AWESOME. So many people have moved to Ravenclaw so they could escape the challenges of Slytherin, but it's amazing that we are STILL winning this. It's because you guys CARE. We have something to prove, and guys, we are proving it. I'm so glad to be a part of this.
I am so happy that I am a Slytherin. I wouldn't trade it for a thing. Whatever happens, I know we are going to get through it. I know we will still be together. That sounds like a sappy romance novel, but it's true. I love you guys. So. Much. I just wanted to let everyone know.
Your loving Head Girl,
Lulu
