Salazar Slytherin: not a genocidal dickhead, the TL;DR version
-Slytherin didn’t want muggle-born kids to come to Hogwarts because the school was built in the 900s AD, a time when muggles were burning magic folk alive, and Slytherin didn’t want muggles to discover Hogwarts through “double agents.” He reluctance to accept muggle-born students at his school was misread and misconstrued over 1000 years to bring us to the timeline of Harry Potter. -Slytherin built a panic room that only he could open in case the school did come under attack. He put a creature in the panic room that only he could control, a monster that could annihilate an entire army just by looking at them, that could also get around parts of the castle inside the walls (though there was no indoor plumbing at the time, where were latrine chutes and sewer systems). Over that 1000 years, it became legend and myth, which is also where it got its sinister name. -Tom Riddle was the first to locate and open it since Slytherin (that we can be sure of) and he did that in 1943. Some time between 1943 and 1992 (the year of CoS) Tom Riddle did some remodeling, turning it into the Chamber we know now. -The “Heir of Slytherin” ideology is just part of the myth: any parseltongue could have opened the chamber, just as any parseltongue could have re-trained the basilisk to obey them. No one opened the chamber because no one could find it, and eventually they gave up looking and said it didn’t exist. magelet-301 and I made a post that you can find here, with all of our reasoning and “data” in long form.

Dramione Compendium’s Notes:
~SPOILERS~
A very unique plot: Hermione is descended from Helena Ravenclaw and The Bloody Baron’s child. Rowena Ravenclaw constructed a time portal to bring Hermione (and Draco) back to 999 BC so that when they returned to their own time in 1999 BC they would be able to reunite Rowena with Helena’s ghost. I particularly love the dynamic between Draco and Hermione as Draco is trying to suss out whether Hermione is interested in him. Made me get the feels in a way I haven’t in a long time from a fic.
