Familia Semper Prima.
Family is always first.
That is the main and unofficial motto of the Slytherin family.Among the Slytherins, everyone knew that was the first rule. So it was well known that you should never put the family to shame. That was a rule that should never be broken. Breaking that rule was almost considered a sin in the rich and powerful family of witches and wizards.Slytherins considered family first. Because in the end, family will be the only thing you'll have left. Many will betray you. Others will despise you. The world can turn its back on you. But between all that, the family will be there to lend you a hand. So no matter what you must do, use any method to protect the family. Use all your tricks and strategies to keep the family afloat.That is why all the problems of the family stayed between them. Any weakness or mistake could be used by their enemies. So what happened in the family, stayed in the family. Taking the problems out of the Slytherin Family for everyone to know was equal to putting them to shame. They should take care of each other, because no one else would take care of them.
Ludimus Ut Vincamus.
We play to win.
This was the official motto of the family. With the motto alone, you can imagine the kind of beings that are part of the family, and that is why many knew that it was a mistake to mess with the Slytherins. No matter what they had to use, they were going to win. They used what they had, and they did what they could, but they were always going to win.Slytherins have always been pure blooded since their beginnings in Ireland. Their blood is enriched from different families, because they usually did not marry each other. Obviously, it was to have more power, the power and prestige that other houses also had. If these houses joined the Slytherins, the reputation and power of the Slytherins would increase. And there weren't many people who didn't want to bear the noble name of Slytherin.They were an extremely rich and powerful family not only magically, but politically. It was a family that produced powerful and intelligent children. It was clear that carrying the Slytherin name was an honor. It was almost royalty. And everyone knew the rules. Never should a member leave the family in shame, or they would be thrown out of the line and their Slytherin name would disappear. Literally, their Slytherin blood would be erased and with it their ability to speak Parseltongue, if they had it at all. Because of this, their descendants would not carry Slytherin blood and would not be entitled to the name and what it includes. That is why the members knew very well how they should behave in front of the world.However, Slytherins have also always been known for six things. First, they were known for their great beauty regardless of whether they were male, carrier or female. Second, they were known to be the only house to have the ability to speak Parseltongue, the language of serpents. Third, they were known for their great magical power. Fourth, they were known for their penchant for the dark arts. Fifth, they were known for the green Avada Kedavra color of their eyes. And lastly, they were known to be elemental experts in water magic.These qualities made for a perfect Slytherin. However, as in all cases, the carriers and women did not take power and stayed in the shadows, even while being Slytherins. No carrier or female had ever taken the position of Head of the Slytherin Family. No carrier or woman had dared to go against what society believed. And it was the same for the other houses. No one had ever let a maid or a woman take control of a noble house.Things would be different with the birth of a Slytherin who decided to go his own way. He decided to take fate by the horns and send it in the direction he wanted.He would not be ruled by any man.That young man would be called Salazar Slytherin and his name would be recorded in history.Sadly, his name would be tarnished for eternity.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Lady Uriel Slytherin took his newborn son in his arms.In his eyes, his little baby was already the most beautiful child.He had very little hair on his newborn head, but it showed to be as golden as the sun's rays. His little eyes were closed and Uriel prayed that the little one would be born with the beautiful green eyes like the Avada Kedavra that his Lord husband posseses. His new child was the second he had, but the first had been a disappointment. Therefore, the new hopes of the family were placed on the little newborn.Lady Uriel Slytherin was a beautiful 31-year-old carrier. He had beautiful round black eyes that shone like two beautiful onyx stones, accompanied by two thin eyebrows. His hair was a silky, shiny brown that cascaded down to his elbows, totally straight. His skin was clear and smooth. His nose was small and his lips were thin but a juicy pink. His face was aristocratic, but androgynous. He was small, his height was 5'5 and totally hairless, but he had a beautiful slim body with not very sharp curves, but noticeable, with somewhat long legs. Lady Uriel Slytherin was very beautiful, although his magical power was not something impressive, he was quite good. And he was quite a desirable carrier in the eyes of society. Submissive and delicate. Always following the orders of his husband. At least in the eyes of others, within the Slytherin Family, no carrier was completely submissive and no woman was perfectly submissive.He married Lord Lestat Slytherin when he was 19, leaving behind his noble Salvatore name. It wasn't love at first sight. Both came together to finally be able to silence their families who forced them to marry someone and produce children. Therefore, they did not love each other until Uriel was 23. And even then, they had no children until Uriel was 26, when their first child was born on an afternoon of August 22, whom they decided to name Lucian Slytherin.Both parents expected the best from their heir. But they only got disappointment.Lucian Slytherin was a male. He had his mother's sparkling onyx eyes and silky shiny brown hair with his father's shoulder-length waves. He had the aristocratic and masculine features of his father, with a straight nose, somewhat thick pink lips, and thin eyebrows. His skin was also as light and smooth as his parents'. He was quite tall for his age and it showed that he was going to be almost as tall as his father. Lucian promised to be as handsome as Lord Lestat Slytherin.But he didn't have the genes of a Slytherin. He was not ambitious. He was not determined. He was not cunning. He had no leadership skills. He didn't have a fraternity. He had no self preservation. He had no inventiveness. He didn't have those characteristics that marked him out as a Slytherin. His magic wasn't strong and he didn't even have the precious gift of speaking Parseltongue. And he also didn't have the eyes that Lestat wanted him to have, the green Avada Kedavra eyes that the Slytherins had.He had nothing.That was the sad truth. The Slytherin Heir was just a disappointment. Uriel only hoped that this new boy would be better than his older brother. That he displayed those qualities that would mark him as a Slytherin, which his older brother and heir has not showed.The door opened momentarily, pulling the carrier out of his thoughts and prayers.It was Lord Lestat Slytherin.He was an extremely handsome man. His hair was a shiny, silky golden like sunshine on a sunny day, wavy locks of hair that were shoulder length. He had a slim body, but quite built. His features were aristocratic and his nose was strong and outlined with thin pink lips. His eyebrows were also thin. His skin was as fair as his wife's. He was quite tall, he was 6'2 and his legs were long and strong. His magic was also somewhat impressive and he could speak Parseltongue. However, it was obvious that the most impressive thing was his beautiful and bright green almond-shaped eyes. They were the typical eye color in the Slytherin Family. They were an Avada Kedavra green color. It was a very precious color for the Slytherins, although it was obvious that not all sons achieved that color.You just had to see Lucian Slytherin.Lestat was disappointed that his eldest son did not show to be extraordinary. However, he loved him, he was his son and, until now, his heir. And so far, he hasn't broken the most important rule of the Slytherin Family.
Not to put the Slytherin Family to shame.
"My Lady, how is our new son?" He asked softly. Uriel smiled at the nickname.“My Lord, our child has been born silently. He hasn't cried once." He said arrogantly despite looking tired due to childbirth. After all, it seemed that his child was going to be quite intelligent.Lestat arched an eyebrow at this. That was not expected. Even Lucian had cried, pretty hard he might add. That was quite interesting. He kept that in mind, and directed his gaze to the baby. His beautiful, bright eyes focused on his small face."What is him?""A Carrier." Uriel replied softly.Uriel knew that carriers and women did not have much political power. Even he, being Lady Slytherin, had no political power in his husband's decisions. He had no voice or vote, although there were times that he advised, those times he could count them with his hand. So, he was curious as to how this new son was going to grow up. What he was going to do. He just hoped that he didn't stay like all the other carriers and women, at home being submissive. Uriel wanted him to be someone, he wanted him to leave his mark on history."I see." Lestat murmured.Lestat couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He was hoping for a boy so he could take out Lucian as heir if he didn't show improvement. He wasn't going to leave the family in the wrong hands, he couldn't."Oh!""What ha...?"Lord Lestat Slytherin fell silent upon seeing the green Avada Kedavra eyes of his new son."His eyes..." Uriel murmured happily."Yes. His eyes."Lestat already had his plans in mind. Perhaps there never was a carrier or a woman in power, but that didn't mean there shouldn't be a first. His new child showed to be better in at least one respect. If he ends up being as good as he seems to be, what's to stop his carrier son from taking the throne?He smiled.His new child would be trained to take his place as the future Head of Slytherin House. For now no one had to know, but he would give the little baby the tools. If his son was a true Slytherin, he would know what to do with them.He pushed those thoughts aside. The baby did not have a name yet."Have you given him a name yet?" He asked curiously."No. I already named Lucian." He said indirectly with a smile. He was extremely happy that his son had the green eyes so unique to the Slytherin Family."Salazar. His name will be Salazar Slytherin, the one who was born with greatness as a crown, the one who was born to become a legend, the one who was born to be a champion." He said with a voice full of pride, sentencing little Salazar to a life full of adventures.Both parents smiled at the name. It didn't sound very Irish, but it sounded good.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Leave me alone, Lucian."His small, young voice sounded irritated."Salazar, come and get out. Drop whatever you're doing." The older boy complained.Salazar closed his eyes and sighed, trying not to curse his older brother.Little 10 year old Salazar Slytherin had grown up to be a devastating beauty. Everyone was sure that the carrier would break hearts when he grew up.He had long, silky, soft, shiny sun-blonde hair, length to his waist with little waves here and there. His green Avada Kedavra eyes were as bright as the hex. His nose was small and aristocratic as were his features, although they were just as delicate as his mother, Lady Uriel Slytherin. His skin was white and smooth and seemed to glow. His eyes were just as almond-shaped as his father's with thin eyebrows. His lips were much fuller and rosier than his mother's.Salazar presented as a carrier, and he was an extremely powerful carrier. Salazar was clearly more powerful than Lucian. His control over magic was amazing. In fact, the little carrier had ordered that his wand be fashioned from whatever materials he wanted. The wand was made of snake wood and a Basilisk horn. Worthy son of the Slytherin House, was what everyone thought.With his wand in hand, Salazar was unstoppable. He swallowed books and practiced for hours until he perfected the spells. Learning was second nature to the carrier. And it's because for Salazar there was a third motto; knowledge is power. And he was willing to fill his mind with knowledge and show his power to the world. After all, he has to take the throne of the Slytherin house, just as his father instilled in him as a child.“Unlike you, Lucian, I don't intend to let my skills rust. Just because I'm not the heir doesn't mean I shouldn't try, it's something you still have to learn. If you want to play, go ahead, but let me study."Lucien sighed and gave up, if Salazar wanted to waste his time on stupid things, then let him lose it. He will go play, he is the heir, he will be fine, he will always have powerful wizards and powerful witches ready to help him, so he didn't worry.Salazar watched with coldness and disgust as his brother went off to play, ignoring his studies and homework. It is because of Lucian's actions that his father trained him, a carrier, to take charge of the family. If they left power in Lucian's hands, it wouldn't take long for the Slytherin family to fall. And his brother was so stupid that he didn't even notice that all the power was slowly being taken over by Salazar.Similar thoughts ran through the mind of Lestat, who watched from afar. Lestat loved his children, and even so, he couldn't help but have favorites, especially when Salazar was showing himself to be what a Slytherin should be. Lestat grew up with the mindset that the Slytherin family comes first, and if to support his family he had to put a carrier on the throne, then Lestat would see to it that he put the best carrier he could raise.He was confident that at the hands of Salazar, the family would not fall. Salazar, who has shown to be a speaker, who has shown to have immense magical power. Who already showed his efficiency in controlling the water element. That Salazar was the one who he would put on the throne and the one who would guide the family to greatness. After all, Salazar was born for this, to be great.Salazar Slytherin was going to be unstoppable. A hurricane ready to destroy everything. A tornado ready to drag the whole world. An ocean of knowledge and power.That was the Salazar Slytherin that would be remembered from here on out.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Lucian Slytherin, only 21 years old, was removed from the Slytherin family.Lestat looked with disgust at his name on the family tree. He knew that Lucian was not going to be a good thing. The boy was always a fool who did not follow the family rules. Lestat wanted nothing more than to erase him from the family, but the other members refused. It wasn't because they had a good heart, but it was for a simple reason.Salazar and Lucian are the only young heirs, if something happened to Salazar, they could use Lucian to produce an heir to continue the Slytherin line. At least then the fortune would not fall into the hands of another family.Salazar was long considered the unofficial heir, as Lucian was still in line, after Lucian escaped, Salazar was proclaimed the legitimate and official heir.Salazar just snorted when he remembered that he had found that letter that said that Lucian had run away with a poor carrier he found somewhere. He was unlucky enough to have to break such news to the family, who were not happy at all.
Dear Slytherin Family,
I'm so sorry for what you're about to read, but I'm gone. I can't be happy if it's not next to Eli, a carrier who works at the wand shop, I met him two years ago. I know he is my true love and I don't need anything more than his company to be happy.
You probably don't understand me and hate me for the shame I'm causing you and I ask for a thousand pardons, even though my only sin was loving. I've left with Eli away from here, where you can't find us. I resign my position as heir, I know that Salazar has always been considered for that position.
I beg you to understand that love is the most important thing for me and that money or titles do not attract my attention.
I know you are angry, but I beg you to forgive and understand me.
Familia Semper Prima.
Lucian Slytherin.
Salazar, cruel and pessimistic, wondered how Lucian could not have doubted such a young man. Didn't it cross his mind that the carrier only wanted Lucian's money?And what the hell was Lucian thinking? Did he think that he would be able to survive without money? He, a young master from a rich and noble family who never dirtied his hands? A man who was never taught to take care and save money?Family always comes first? Damn hypocrite that dares to think such words as he flees like a thief in the night, humiliating and tarnishing the noble name of the Slytherin family.True love? Such stupidity did not exist. Lucian was just so stupid and naive that he didn't even know he was just being used.Salazar didn't feel sorry or pity for Lucian, the stupid man earned it. Who is crazy enough to abandon a family as rich and powerful as the Slytherin family? In truth, he wondered where Lucian got his stupidity from, since none of his parents were like that.Salazar sighed and erased any thoughts of Lucian, he was now the official and only heir to the Slytherin family. He will have all the power in the future and he should be more worried about that locket that he commanded to create. He shouldn't worry about stupid things like his older brother's terrible decisions.After all, Salazar knew Lucian would be back, and he'd be on his knees.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
And everything was confirmed when Lucian, a few months after escaping, returned all disconsolate, all skinny, dirty and terrible. He seemed to have been on the streets for years instead of a few months. Tears fell from his eyes and he was on his knees in front of Lestat and Salazar."You were so stupid that you allowed yourself to be manipulated by a carrier much more intelligent than you and who only wanted your money." Lestat told him coldly, without feeling sorry for his son."Father…" Lucian began to sob."Silence!" Lestat interrupted him. "You no longer have the right to call me that. Although you still have Slytherin blood running through your veins, you are no longer my son, just a disgrace."Lucian's sobs grew louder, wrapping his arms around himself and staring with dark red eyes into the cold, cruel, merciless eyes of not only his father, but his younger brother."Get out of my house, I don't want to see you again, even if you're on the verge of death." And just like that, Lestat left, leaving his eldest son in a sea of tears on the floor."Salazar…" He began to beg, trying to light a flame of affection in those green Avada eyes as cold as ice."You left and ruined our family's reputation." Salazar interrupted him. "Why? For a carrier who clearly wanted your money and status." The sun-haired maiden mocked. "Now you come back and hope that you will be accepted. You're an idiot. That's why they made me heir. We Slytherins do everything for power, for family and for love. But we are not idiots who believe anyone who says I love you."The disgust in Salazar's voice was so much that Lucian could taste it.“I'm sorry to tell you this, Lucian, but I don't care about you. It's your fault that you ended up where you are. You and your stupidities. Don't beg for something you won't get."And just like his father, Salazar left and Lucian wondered how a such an unique and overprotective family, and at the same time, cold and ruthless as the Slytherins could exist. What kind of contradiction was that? How had he ignored such signs during the years he lived in that mansion?Slytherins are able to watch the world burn, even though their element was water, for those they consider family. They are capable of everything for what they love. Likewise, they were capable of destroying the same beings if they hurt them or if they did something against the Slytherin family.Being a Slytherin means loving with great intensity, it means protecting the family and its name above all else, it means being cunning and knowing when to attack, it means showing your claws for those you love, it means destroying the enemy in its entirety.Being a Slytherin means many things.The problem was that Lucian never bothered to find such meaning until he suffered the misfortune of being pointed at with the sharp point of the Slytherin sword.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Growing up as the Slytherin heir was an adventure. Salazar Slytherin was not one to shy away from hard work, and being pushed by his father to better himself was something he always took and saved.It was shortly after Salazar, being very young, took over as head of the family and Lestat decided to take those vacations with his beloved Uriel. It was only a few months later that the news arrived that the marriage couple had passed away.Salazar, clearly hurt, did not collapse. In part it was because of the teachings of his father, and in part it is because they managed to make a portrait of his parents and he spent time talking to them, so he was not really alone.Salazar imagined a peaceful life, at least the most peaceful being a wizard, but his whole course changed at a celebration party for a young nobleman whose name Salazar did not even remember. It is at that party that he meets three people who would change everything.Seated and separated from everything, four young people decided to create a conversation, introducing themselves and getting to know each other.Clearly, Salazar Slytherin was the most powerful magically and politically, his family was incredibly rich and powerful. As the only one of them to be the head of the family, Salazar had even more power.Godric Gryffindor was a man from a well-respected wizarding family, but he gained much fame by displaying not only his incredible sword skills, but also by being an excellent duelist.Helga Hufflepuff was by no means a wealthy witch, but that alone made her incredibly hardworking, and all that hard work of hers paid off and she was able to earn her place as one of the best duelists.Rowena Ravenclaw was a witch from a noble family, mostly known for being incredibly smart and Rowena was said to be the smartest person in the world.Somehow, that day, they all became friends, and many would say they were siblings in everything but blood. They were close and were capable of anything for each other, truly an unstoppable and unique group.Back then, everyone around them knew that they were destined for greatness, that those four were going to do amazing things. Those who saw that union born knew that history was about to be made.Sadly, nobody imagined the fall of these four after they had reached the highest point.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The one with the idea was Rowena Ravenclaw.It was no surprise to anyone that the witch proposed to create a school. Rowena was smart and she loved teaching and spreading her knowledge to others, so no one was surprised when she one day dropped the bombshell that she wanted to start a school.Everyone agreed.Not only would they train future wizards, the future of the wizarding world of Britain, but they would also create their own legends and leave their mark on history. It was a dream and an idea that excited them all.The hardworking Helga was the one who called various wizards and witches to lend their hands. The cunning Salazar was the one who put up the money. Clever Rowena was the one who made the plans. And the brave Godric was the one who obtained magical creatures as helpers.Each one had done their part to create the school of their dreams."What is the name of the school?" Godric asked curiously one of those days.The other three just looked at him without any response."Does that mean we're creating a school that we don't even have a name for?" Godric smiled.“We still have time, Godric." Salazar snorted, earning an almost hungry look from the redhead. Uncomfortable, Salazar tried to ignore him.It was no secret to anyone that the lion was madly in love, or obsessed, with the young man with blond hair. Unfortunately for him, Salazar wasn't attracted one bit to his friend who he loved to death, but who sometimes caused him to want to drown him.Even with his age and being the head of the family, Salazar had not married and therefore, there was no heir. It was a subject that the family always demanded of him. Wizards lived for many years, but you never know what could happen and the Slytherins wanted an heir.Due to Godric's fame, everyone knew that the redhead was a good match, but it was clear to everyone that Salazar was not interested. The Slytherin had shown no interest in the Gryffindor or any other wizard.“Anyway, we still have time." Helga interjected with her soft voice. "For now we just have to focus on our school and its growth.""Helga is right." The green-eyed young man smiled slightly.Salazar should only think of the positive. He had to think about the legend that he was about to create, how big he was going to be, just like his father always told him he would be.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
"Hogwarts." Rowena said smiling.The other three founders raised an eyebrow at what the beautiful woman with the beautiful headband on her head said.“Our school will be called Hogwarts." The Ravenclaw repeated.“I think it's a lovely name." Helga laughed."Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Salazar added with a thoughtful face. "I like the way it sounds.""Then let's get to work." Godric smiled.When they created the school, as founders, it was obvious that they were going to create the school based on them, they were ready to leave an unforgettable mark on Hogwarts. This is how the four houses and the Sorting Hat were born. The four houses were based on the shields of each family and accepting students with the same ideals, and the same personality as the founders.The colors that represented the Slytherin house were green and silver. The animal that represented the house was a snake. What Salazar looked for in his students was inventiveness, determination, cunning, ambition, brotherhood, self-preservation, and leadership.The colors that represented Gryffindor were red and gold. The lion was the animal that represented the house. What Godric wanted in his students was courage, nerve, chivalry, and daring.Yellow and black were the colors that represented Hufflepuff, with the badger being the house animal. Helga chose everyone, but if she wanted her students to be dedicated, hard working, patient, kind, tolerant, and loyal.Ravenclaw's colors were blue and bronze. The eagle was the representative animal. The intelligent Ravenclaw looked for students with intelligence, wit, wisdom, creativity, originality, individuality, and acceptance.And so, on June 12, 990, Hogwarts finally opened its doors to magical children from all over the world who want to study within its walls. Little by little, as the years passed, more and more students entered the safe barriers of Hogwarts. It was in the year 993 that the first ghost, Peeves, arrived at Hogwarts as one of the future ghosts and companions that floated in the halls of the great school.As founders, they were the first teachers, and the first heads of their respective houses. Just as they dreamed, they made it their mission to teach everything they knew to the next generation of wizards. Each one decided to teach what they specialized in the most.Godric Gryffindor, head of Gryffindor House of the Lion, teaches transfiguration, how to be an animagus, dueling class, apparition, flying, fire magic, and defense against the dark arts.Rowena Ravenclaw, head of Ravenclaw House of the Eagle, teaches arithmacy, history of magic, enchantments, ancient runes, magical theory, and air magic.Helga Hufflepuff, head of Hufflepuff House of Badger, teaches care of magical creatures, herbology, earth magic, astronomy, potions, and healing.Salazar Slytherin, head of Slytherin Serpent House, teaches how to create barriers, create spells, oclumency and legimency, blood magic, water magic, rituals and curses.As more teachers arrived, the founders began to pass more classes to them, relieving the founders of having to teach so many classes.And little by little, Hogwarts grew to become one of the best schools in the wizarding world.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Salazar was not surprised when problems began to appear. It was something that he expected, he didn't want problems, but he knew that it was a matter of time before they began to appear.Contrary to what the other founders said, Salazar didn't hate Muggle-borns or Half-Bloods, Salazar just didn't like Muggles, who developed at such a fast pace and ignorant wizards didn't try to keep up. Salazar knew that if they continued like this, the Muggles would finish them off.His thoughts were strengthened when a witch hunt was sparked when a Muggle-born wizard revealed himself by accident. Innocent children, men, and women were burned at the stake. Sadly, the vast majority of these witches and wizards were Muggle-borns.For some reason, the other witches and wizards didn't see anything wrong with what was going on. They didn't want to open their eyes to the reality that they were being hunted, being as few as they are compared to Muggles, it was something serious. But everyone ignored what was happening and Salazar did not want to see more magical and innocent blood being spilled.But when he proposed the idea to Godric, he, with his stupid naivety, did not accept and quickly thought the worst of him. Of everyone, Salazar thought that Godric would be the easiest to convince, even if it is because of the love that the lion feels for the serpent or because of his thirst for justice. But he didn't understand."It's a heartbreaking idea, Sal." He shoke his head, disappointed in his blond friend. "Imagine what the parents will suffer when they lose their children.""Don't be a fool, Godric. It's stupid that you don't listen to me. Not all Muggles are going to accept that their children have been born with an inexplicable force. All Muggle-borns must be taken from their Muggle parents and raised here among wizards, in the world where they truly belong. In our society where they will be accepted. Many families want children and can adopt them with blood magic. And it's not cruel because with an obliviate, the muggles will forget everything.""Not all Muggles will turn their backs on their children." Godric assured.“Some parents can accept their children, but most won't. What tells us that over time they will not become jealous of their children's powers? What tells us they won't try to kill them? The Muggles are hunting us like animals, and you think that as long as they are not associated with "demons", parents will not sell their children?" Salazar let out a sarcastic laugh. "Don't be naive. Your proposal to have the parents of muggle-borns at Hogwarts to get acquainted is stupid. Not everyone is innocent or stupid. You would simply be giving them the opportunity to learn our weaknesses and finish us off. Muggles will develop, advance and we will be left behind. Muggles fear what they don't understand and what they don't have."Salazar almost prayed that Godric would understand, but Godric just grabbed his shoulders, then took his face in his big hands. The lion looked at him with pain, as if Salazar was a hopeless case. And Salazar knew that the one almost lost was him, Godric."Salazar, erase those crazy ideas from your mind, please."Angrily, Salazar slaps his hands to get him to loosen up and looks at him in disgust, looking up at the taller man with aberration."I always knew there was a reason I would never love you the way you love me. You are foolish and blind, definitely not worthy of me. The man I marry must have a good head on his shoulders, something you clearly don't have."And with a turn, Salazar was gone, not seeing Godric's eyes widen with shock, then change, giving way to pain. Godric thought Salazar didn't know about his feelings, but Salazar did, only he had ignored them.It was a few days later that Salazar went to discuss his ideas with the other two founders, Rowena and Helga, only to learn that Godric had gone to them first and had already poisoned their minds against him. Salazar thought that at least Rowena would understand, but the woman proved easy to influence.Without further ado, he was accused of hating Muggle-borns and was condemned by the other founders, not even Merlin Emrys, his star student, was unable to do anything for him, even though everyone knew of his immense magical and politic power. With such accusations, Salazar left Hogwarts, leaving behind his familiar, a basilisk, in his Chamber of Secrets. Chamber he created with the intention that some future young man from his nobe Slytherin house would use it to save as many students as he could if one day an attack came to the gates of Hogwarts.From that moment, Salazar knew that Godric had not accused him for the Muggle-borns, the Gryffindor accused him out of spite knowing that Salazar did not love him as Godric loved him.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
After Salazar left, the dynasty that the four had founded began to decline. For the first few years it wasn't very noticeable, but then it just became noticeable to everyone, no matter how much they wanted to ignore or hide it.First, rumours about Salazar began to resurface and the Slytherin house at Hogwarts had started to get a bad reputation. So also began the enmity between the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses, always at each other's throats. Rumors spread of Salazar and his "hatred" so the muggle-borns began to fear and new students didn't want to go near the house of serpents.Without anyone to control most of the educational system as Salazar did in his time, little by little the classes began to be changed and many of the good things that were taught began to be taken away, especially when new directors, after the first director, began to take control of Hogwarts. The education seemed to decline and its position as one of the best schools of magic in the world began to slip lower. Hogwarts was never what it once was in its early decades.And the founders just watched their dynasty fall without doing anything.Years later, the founders left the world. Godric, Rowena and Helga stayed at Hogwarts and dedicated their lives to the school, never knowing what happened to the carrier of the group who disappeared years before after his fight with Godric. And although Godric tried to search for his beloved, he never found him. Although it was understandable that Salazar never wanted to see them.With the rumors of Salazar Slytherin, the noble Slytherin house knew immediately that something was wrong. They knew their head and they knew that Salazar was not one to despise magical blood. As long as they had magical blood in their veins, they were wizards and witches and that was all he cared about. They knew very well that there was a catch in those rumors.They saw the boy grow up, no one knew the real Salazar Slytherin better than they did.To avoid damage to the family's reputation, more than he had already done, Salazar decided to live out his days in a mansion the family owned in France. From France he handled the family affairs and visited them from time to time with a glamor to hide.After all, now the only thing he could do was lead his family and watch as everything he built came crashing down with no one to even try to hold it up. Nobody tried to save what they created and it was something that hurt him more than he wanted to admit.Hogwarts was the child of them four, and he couldn't believe how the other three founders just stood by to watch as what they created was destroyed. It cost them a lot to build Hogwarts, and they all just watched it fall.If Salazar had been able to get out, if Salazar had had the support of the other founders, he would never have let Hogwarts, his greatest creation, just fall. However, the sad reality was that it was too late and this was the end of the dynasty that the four of them had created.Everything he dreamed of with that school had crumbled with a single fight between two of its founders.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Salazar Slytherin died surrounded by his relatives and without any husband or children. His great bloodline had no successor.The Slytherin family had gone insane because of this. Of all the members of the family, Salazar's blood was the one from which they most wanted descendants. Powerful descendants who would keep the family afloat for generations to come. Not having obtained such descendants from Salazar was hard to accept, but that was why they had not erased the forgotten Lucian, hoping that sharing blood with Salazar would be enough for him to have at least decent descendants.The late man had taken it upon himself to tell his descendants that they were part of the powerful and praised Slytherin House. So when the Slytherins went to collect the sons and daughters that Lucian had, they were in charge of choosing the most powerful child of these to be able to nurture as Salazar's successor.
"We give you this locket that Salazar Slytherin, the head of Slytherin House, created many years ago. It is a locket that we decided to pass from leader to leader from now on. It's extremely important to us since Salazar created it, so take good care of it."
And with those words, Salem Slytherin, Lucian's grandson and Salazar's successor, began his life studying to try to fill the gigantic shoes Salazar left behind when he died. When it was his turn to become Head of Slytherin, Salem ruled as best he could and when his time came, he passed the locket on to his heir and so on.On the other hand, even after his death, stories of Salazar Slytherin were told. And little by little, as his story passed more by word of mouth, it began to twist enormously and there was almost nothing left of what was once a beautiful and powerful carrier who took life by the horns and became the first carrier to become the head of a noble and ancient house.Some stories said that he had hidden a monster for his future descendants to kill Muggle-borns.Some stories said that he planned to commit genocide against Muggles and Muggle-borns.Some said that he had children only so that his plans would be completed and that they were already infiltrated in Hogwarts, waiting for their moment.Others said that he had lost his mind by abusing the dark arts.Others said that he had tried to raise an army of Hogwarts students to attack Muggles and Muggle-borns.His name was stained so greatly that everyone was unaware of the great things that happened in his life. Salazar was a carrier, something that in itself was difficult to find. Salazar was immensely powerful and intelligent. He would have been the perfect wife, but it couldn't be.They talked about so many things that they forgot to wonder if Salazar really had descendants, when even in his old age, and while he taught at Hogwarts, he was never seen in any kind of love relationship with another person. No matter how much Godric wanted it, Salazar didn't even try it with him.Salazar had no descendants and the Slytherin family knew that very well. But as the years passed, and the future Slytherins saw the power that even after centuries had the name of Salazar Slytherin, they began to call themselves direct descendants of Salazar, until at some point the truth was lost and the future Slytherins began to think that this was true.They praised their own blood for being the same as the great Salazar Slytherin, not knowing that his blood is from the older brother who was the second choice after the carrier had left no children. But being descendants from the controversial Salazar Slytherin was better than being descendants from a forgotten Slytherin who had broken the most important rule in the Slytherin family.Sadly, along with the rumors spread through the centuries, it was these terrible descendants that told the story of Salazar Slytherin.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Although the Slytherin line was maintained for centuries, little by little it was declining.Political power, money, and magical power was lost more and more as the years passed. Of the great and powerful Slytherin House of the past there were only three people left, the Gaunts. The Slytherin name was now nothing to many, when before it had been everything to the elite. It had fallen down so bad that the noble Slytherin surname was no longer used, now they were only known as the Gaunts, descendants of Salazar. Or at least that's what they boasted about, not knowing that they were actually descendants of Lucian.If the Slytherins of the past saw how low their house had fallen, they would blame Lucian and his poor way of raising his children. Their faith in Salazar was so great that they know that he would never have allowed the Noble and Ancient House of Slytherin to fall like this. And so it would have been, because with all his magical power, Salazar would have been able to survive for many centuries.The more magical power you have and the more powerful you are, the more years you can live. And with his immense power, which he tends to hide most of, it wouldn't have been a problem for Salazar to live for another few centuries and make sure the Slytherin line stayed alive and in power. Now they were just a shadow of what they were.Of the Slytherin legacy not even the crumbs remained, only ashes.And it was like that for many years.Those who saw Hogwarts being born, those who knew the founders and are still in the world of the living like Peeves, thought that this would be the end of a lineage as magnificent as the Slytherin lineage. They would say goodbye to one of the founders and the best duelist of his time. To the young man who obtained everything with his power and intelligence. That was what they thought.However, it was on December 31, 1926 that everything would change.Almost a thousand years after the creation of Hogwarts and the decline of Slytherin House, everything was about to turn around.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Born Tom Marvolo Riddle, shortly before he became Emperor of Great Britain, he changed his name to Marvolo Gaunt.His years at Hogwarts were spent being the best student, surely the best since Merlin himself. His grades were nothing short of excellent and his magic power was gigantic. Tom Riddle, back then, had been born to nothing but for greatness. And he showed it over and over again, gaining allies in Slytherin who would eventually help him conquer the wizarding world of Britain.Due to his immense magical power, even after almost seven decades, even in the 1980s, the now Emperor still looked quite young and incredibly attractive, being a male capable of attracting the attention of young women and carriers. And as Emperor, very much in the style of Ancient China, they created a harem for him, all so that he could have children who would bring powerful wizards and witches into the world. They wanted the Emperor to have powerful children and keep the magic alive.He built almost an entire city full of palaces for his concubines to live in while he resided in the center of the city. And since then, many have passed through Marvolo's bed, however, no carrier or woman has been able to support a child till the end, always having spontaneous abortions or the mother becomes so weak, with the baby taking away their vital energy, so they ended up losing the baby.In desperation, it was decided that the Emperor would take younger concubines, to see if they could at least give birth. The future heirs of the most powerful families both politically and magically were chosen and when they were born, the Emperor himself visited them and marked them with his magic, marking them with a snake on their wrist as his future concubines.Being chosen by the Emperor was an honor for the wizard or witch, and for their family. Everyone knew that there was a chance to rise to the title of Empress and sit on the empty throne at the Emperor's side. So each family of the chosen children raised them with the idea of doing their best to be Empress. To enchant the Emperor so much that he falls in love. And most importantly, give birth to an heir.Until now, no one has ever achieved any of those things. No one had ever been able to ascend to Empress. No one was ever able to give him an heir. And no one was ever able to woo the mighty Emperor of the Wizarding World of Great Britain. No matter how many beautiful beings passed through his bed and through his palaces, no one ever lived up to it.Marvolo no longer had much hope of finding his equal, that being that complements him. That being with an immense amount of magical power like him. At the very least, he hoped to have an heir, but even that was quite a challenge.The Emperor didn't really think he had much of a choice anymore.Until Draco Malfoy's younger brother, Salazar 'Sal' Malfoy, appeared in his life.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The birth of the Malfoy heir was one of the most anticipated births after the news that the Emperor would mark the heirs.The labor lasted no more than two or three hours, before Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy welcomed a crying Draco Malfoy into the world. However, the pain continued."There is a second child!"Narcissa's eyes widened in surprise, unfortunately, no magical family was as fertile as the Weasleys, who were a large family of seven children. It was a miracle for Narcissa to have twins.When the second child was born, everything was silent. The deep green Avada Kedavra eyes of the second child looked at them with eternal coldness and indifference. He had only a few blond hairs. Seeing those eyes, Narcissa thought of the late Regulus Black, who had had green eyes, but never as bright as those of her newborn. In that instant, the color of her old house, Slytherin, came to mind."Salazar. His name will be Salazar Malfoy."When Marvolo showed up, the Malfoys presented Draco as the heir and he was marked by the monarch, while Salazar stood in the shadows, his Avada's eyes watching with curiosity and a gleam of confusion.And so the years passed, which were not easy for the reborn founder with hair the color of the sun.His family and the people around him clearly pampered Draco, a carrier marked by the Emperor. They expected great things from him and there was nothing they would not give him if the carrier asked for it. No one denied him anything, and he grew spoiled and arrogant. Above all, Draco had developed a kind of hatred and contempt for his much more beautiful younger brother.Salazar, who grew up with Lucian, didn't see Draco as even worthy of him. Such a useless carrier like Draco reminded him of Lucian, so he treated him with the same nonchalance that he treated Lucian.And what a surprise it was for Salazar Slytherin, now Malfoy, to see himself born again in the future, almost a thousand years after the construction of his school. Not only was he surprised by that fact, but also how his name was smeared as a dark wizard who hates muggles and muggle-borns. Just as he was surprised by the fact that there are alleged descendants from him, when he never slept with anyone. He didn't even give his first kiss. Salazar Slytherin died being totally and purely a virgin.For Salazar it was horrible to see how his family, once so powerful and untouchable, had almost disappeared and had lost all his power and wealth. In truth, he was surprised by the incompetence of Lucian's descendants.Salazar, who was never interested in having relationships, really had little interest in being neglected by his parents. All he thought about was growing up and becoming as powerful as he was in the past and getting the Slytherin name once again and bringing it to the glory that it had in the past. So when at eleven he received his letter from Hogwarts, Salazar confronted his parents."I'm not going to Hogwarts." He declared."How come you're not going to Hogwarts, Sally?" Draco spat. "Do you want to embarrass us?"“My name is Salazar, Draco." The carrier's cold gaze silenced his twin."You're going to Hogwarts, Salazar. Stop complaining and be more like Draco. Even if you were not chosen by his Imperial Majesty as his concubine, you must at least be of some use, especially with Dumbledore and his Order getting in the way in recent years." Lucius criticized. "You haven't shown any talent. You'll go to Hogwarts and at least be a Slytherin so you don't disgrace the Malfoys."Lucius's cruel words did nothing but infuriate Salazar. Never in his life was he treated like this, his father Lestat never spoke to him with such contempt. Just because he wasn't an idiot who showed all his cards like other wizards didn't mean he wasn't powerful. No one better than himself knows the immense magical power he has."I'm not going to Hogwarts, father." He sentenced."You!" Lucius yelled angrily, and in the distance, Salazar could see Draco's smile. "You're a disgrace!""Lucius!" exclaimed Narcissa already tired. "Let's talk in private."Salazar looked coldly at the woman. That woman is nothing like his mother Uriel, who was capable of killing if someone spoke to his children like that. Some parents he got in this life."Sally, I will talk to your father about your wishes. Maybe your wishes are for the best." Narcissa smiled at him."Thank you mother." How he hated that stupid nickname. Was it so difficult to call him Sal if they wanted to give him a nickname so much?Salazar nodded, and went to his room, understanding Narcissa's words very well. The woman herself thought the same as Lucius. Salazar never showed great qualities, he was just an ordinary wozard despite his immense beauty. If he goes to Hogwarts and he doesn't show himself to be better than everyone else, he would be an embarrassment to the Malfoys and the Blacks.But Salazar smiled as he patted his left thigh, where he had a hidden letter. A letter from another school inviting him to its walls.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Dear Salazar Malfoy,
You are cordially invited to our academy, The Imperial Academy of Arcane Arts, where we not only create great wizards and witches, we create monarchs.
Our academy has been around for over two thousand years, established by our First Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Since then, it has remained the most prestigious magic academy in the world.
Our location is a mystery to every magical being who has not studied within our walls. And if you accepts our invitation, you will be asked to keep everything that happens in our lands a secret.
We are known for only accepting students who we know can become emperors or empresses, pillars in the magical world. Our academy only accepts 50 students every eight years, after our students graduate and with a new generation of eleven year old wizards or witches knocking on our doors.
We are in the remote and abandoned Motuo County in China, where you will arrive with a porkey that we will send if you accept our invitation. Upon arrival, you will find yourself in front of our castle, where your classes and schedule will be decided. Our standards are high and demanding, so our school is all year round and you are only allowed to visit relatives during Christmas.
For privacy, only specially trained owls will be used to endure long trips and they are the only ones that can be used to send letters to relatives. Despite being located in a very remote place, during the weekends students are allowed to go out into the magical world to get anything the they need.
In our prestigious academy you will be assured of glory and power. All as long as you follow our motto; With Power and Knowledge, We will Conquer.
We wait your answer,
Liu Yaozu Director of the Imperial Academyof the Arcane Arts
Salazar had received the letter just a few hours after his eleventh birthday and wanted to laugh knowing that he would return to his school. Well, contrary to what was thought, Salazar did not study at home, he had received the letter from this same school. It was one of the reasons why his family wanted him to have children and why he was so favored in his family. He was the first Slytherin to go to the most prestigious wizarding academy in the world. They expected great things from him.And as if it were his destiny, he was once again going to study at the prestigious academy where emperors and empresses of magic are created. Once again he was going to make his mark in the magical world, that was his destiny.Without even talking to his parents, Salazar wrote his answer and tied it to the leg of the academy's owl and saw how it flew away, surely he will see it again when he comes to bring the porkey. Without further ado, this is how Salazar ended up stating that he would not go to Hogwarts.Salazar heard his door being knocked on and knew, he felt, that it was his mother."Come in.""Sal." At least she don't call him by that other nickname. "Your father accepted that you don't want to go to Hogwarts. However, you must go to another school.""And so it shall be, mother." Assured Salazar. "In fact, the school already sent me a letter and tomorrow they will come for me."Narcissa widened her eyes at what Salazar said. She assumed that the little carrier had accepted and then he broke the news that he was not going to Hogwarts."Which school are you going to?" She asked curious that another school would want Salazar instead of Draco, who was clearly more powerful.Salazar smiled, almost being able to hear the blonde's thoughts.“I'm not allowed to say." He lied. "However, keep in mind that it is a school that lasts all year, I can only come at Christmas.""What kind of school did you decide to go to?"Salazar just smiled at her."I better get my things ready, mother. Tomorrow I will be leaving." He told her, clearly telling her to leave."Good night, Salazar." Narcissa said, kissing his blond hair.The next morning, he got a farewell by his mother, who kissed him on the forehead and told him to write, something that Salazar found strange, because he knew that the woman would be so focused on Draco that she probably wouldn't even read them, and if she did, it would be barely. His father only said a few words to him:“Do not dishonor our name. And remember your allegiance is to his Imperial Majesty."And his sweet brother, notice the sarcasm, just gave him a fake hug while whispering in his ear:"Surely it is a useless school, but at least you will be away from me without you embarrassing me and without you getting in my way. By the time you return, you will kneel before your Empress."How poisonous, Salazar had thought. For a boy of only eleven years old, he was quite a poisonous snake ready to attack at the slightest threat. And oh, Salazar Malfoy was an immense and untouchable threat with his power and beauty, which showed that it was going to be devastating in the future.When he touched the porkey, Salazar knew that everything was about to change. He knew very well that he would not be visiting his family for any future Christmas, after all, even when he was with them they acted as if only Draco existed, it was better that way. He wouldn't see his family for eight years and he was more than happy.He was even happier when he saw his schedule and his future schedule, because here all the classes were already decided for the student, it was a matter of following the schedule the whole year. The only class decided by the student was the student's main element, but Salazar already knew that his element was water.

Salazar sighed, the academy was still just as demanding with its students. In just two or three years, some of these classes had to be mastered by them and continue or risk being lost in the sea of expectations.But Salazar, who has already survived this once, was more than determined to survive one more time.And without looking back, Salazar started on his way.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
It was eight years later that the Malfoys first saw Salazar.Salazar, who had grown up to become a heartbreaker willing to bend everyone under his immense magical power.He had suddenly appeared at a party orchestrated by Emperor Marvolo for his concubines simply to pamper the people who warm his bed. And like the drama queen that he is, Salazar makes his presence known, quickly drawing the attention of everyone in the room."Father, Mother, Brother, aren't you going to say hello?" He asked with a cold smile.Lucius and Narcissa did not react instantly, still amazed to see Salazar so beautiful and to be able to feel his strong magic, they did not want to say it, but they were sure that his magical power was even greater than that of His Imperial Majesty. With Salazar at their side, when the forces of Dumbledore and the Emperor, who were already about to unleash a war, collided, they were sure they would win.Draco on the other hand felt his world fall apart. It wasn't just the dazzling beauty of his charming younger brother, it was the power. Salazar had become everything Draco wanted to be, and Draco feared. That's why he always hated Salazar, because deep down he knew that his younger brother was much better than him. He feared he would take everything from him. That he will take the Emperor away. But from what he could see, it was already too late for that.Still, he was the one who carried the mark and he wasn't going to give up that easily.And Marvolo surrendered before the Avada eyes of the younger twin. He could taste the magic of the young carrier who seemed to call and seduce him. A magic so powerful and developed, never willing to bow down to anyone.He wondered where the Malfoys kept the younger twin hidden. How did they keep such a hidden gem for eight years? Where did he study? Why didn't he study at Hogwarts like Draco? How was he so young and so powerful? Who was he? Who was Salazar Malfoy? Why was he just showing up now?Marvolo had so many questions for the beauty that was walking towards his family. He wanted to go and meet him. He wanted to go and promise him the magical world of Britain. He wanted to go and give him the throne. He wanted to go and tell him that he is the one he has been waiting for, for so many decades.That he was the person that Marvolo was looking for so much.His equal.His Empress.
