Yes.

Yes.

I would love to have seen Lucius bringing Severus to Malfoy Manor and Abraxas’ reaction to this. Just imagine Lucius is like “Father I bringing home a potential protégé, a descendant of the Prince line” and Abraxas is expecting this fancy lordling type but then this feral, semi starved half blood shows up who curses like a sailor and will throw hands over a roll of bread. Just.. I need to know what happened.

You know, Dumbledore's kind of a jerk.

He's all shocked when Snape's patronus is a doe.

And Snape's like "always".

Because when someone important to you dies you don't just forget them. Like what did Dumbledore expect?

I ship Snily platonically. If you have someone that close to you, you miss them forever. Everything that reminds you of them is bittersweet and you just want to curl up and die some days.

Sorry for the rant. Going through grief stuff and I'm projecting on Snape.

Yayy!!! I found this, it's amazingly well-done!

Watch it.

There are no words to describe this.

This is my defense of Salazar Slytherin

Okay, so you know the whole people burning witches thing in the Harry Potter series?

Everyone seems to get all stuck up on the timeline. People who do some research realized it doesn't match up. Salazar was born in the very early 1800s, and the witch trials in england ended in the early 1700s.

This means that his parents or more likely, his grandparents were part of the people being hunted.

Another thing people argue is that the witch's didn't actually burn. They just screwed around with the muggles. However, after thinking for a while, I realized. The children. Magical children wouldn't have the skills or the discretion to hide their magic or protect themselves. It's likely that most of the wizarding community that actually died at the hands of muggles were children.

It's possible that his grandparents had siblings and friends as children who were burnt to death. It wouldn't be that far off to think Salazar Slytherin grew up hearing horror stories of young children being hunted and killed.

This would explain him being scared of and hating muggles and the children who grew up with muggles.

The basilisk could've just been for protection against intruders.

Or the entire legend could be speculation based on modern biases because history is wonky and legend are unreliable.

Please don't kill me. This is just a theory stemming from being tired of all Slytherins being evil.

Snape in an oodie. That is the image I needed today.
