Oh, puh-lease. Do you really want to go around bringing up the 'exceptions to the rule'?

Don't make me remind you of Peter Pettigrew...

Whoops, looks like I just did.

*smirks* That's one to two dearie. Or maybe four, since I should add their fathers in the equation who was also Slytherins. Try again when you get three more people.

This might just be me, but I think that unleashing a megalomaniacal murderer on your best friends... out of fear... when you were sorted into a House noted for its bravery.... is x4 the offense of (questionable*) stupidity.

(* I just reread the Room of Requirement scene in DH. While they obviously aren't the sharpest bulbs in the box, they do show an impressive (if ill-advised) sense of cunning and ambition by attempting to follow and capture Harry.)

Plus, unless there's a passage in DH I've successfully repressed, we don't actually know if Crabbe & Goyle Sr. are as stupid as their sons.

Okay, guys, not what this thread is for.

Come on, what happened to the spilling of the guts and the wild chants?

That's Alright That's Okay You Will Pour Our Coffee Someday(a wild chant to be sure)
Slyhterin is good house, I won't deny it, a good respectable (or not) second. How ever as far as it being the best of all the others rolled together, are you serious?
Hufflepuff best trait = loyalty
Gryffindor b.t. = boldness (which is only a half a good thing)
Ravenclaw b.t. = wit/intelligence
Okay so a Slytherin or two may well have been intelligent (Snape, maybe Draco, Voldie in the pre-crazy years, etc...) but really loyal? Bold? Are you kidding? Also on a whole they're not as bright as those mentioned above (Crabbe,Goyle, Parkinson, Bulstrode, etc...). So sorry Slytherin, but Ravenclaw still wins... and will continue to do so.
Why be normal?
!!!RAVENCLAW!!!

Yes, darling, I'm completely serious.

A) Crabbe and Goyle were not "birght" (as a Ravenclaw AND a writer, I'd expect you to know how to use spellcheck...) as you put it, but if they were really as stupid as you make them out to be, how did they manage to make it through their OWLs? For that matter, if they were so incompetent, why on Earth would Voldemort want them for his army? Crabbe managed to produce Fiendfyre- hmm... Nothing in the books ever said that Millicent Bulstrode was an idiot, as I remember. Don't be pointing at Pansy, dudes. She may be the Lavender of Slytherin, but nothing ever indicated that she was a total airhead. Every house has one of her.

B) I never said we were loyal. I just said we took the best parts out of the other Houses and put them all together. =P Puffs are determined and stubborn. So are we.

Best parts:

Puffs- determination
Claws- intelligence
Gryffs- courage

C) Bold? Hell yeah! We dare to push the boundaries. Courage? We have to have it in order to survive you narrow-minded, stereotyping people. There are cowards in every house. *cough* Pettigrew *cough* Marietta *cough* Don't be pointing fingers.

D) You forgot Reggie and Bella in the smart ones list. =)

Sorry, dearie. And don't do the "respectable second" thing. We COMMAND respect. We ARE first=P

Lovely, strange chant I came up with on the spot yesterday night:

Here come the Slytherins, best of them all.
We rock, we roll, and never, ever fall.
We've got style, we've got class.
You got a problem, you can kiss my ass.
They call us sneaky rats but they don't know
Just what really goes on below
Someday they'll see they were wrong
We'll get all of them singing our song
Hiss, hiss, Slytherins, don't be shy
They should be afraid, so show them why!
Silly little lions then clever little birds
Funny little badgers come in third
Last and best come striding in
Yeah, that's right, we're Slytherin!

-Feeling slightly put out by lack of Hufflepuffs-
-still chants out loudly and off key-



We're cute,
and fuzzy,
and ever so loyal,
but we still have backbone,
and will win the housecup!!


YAY HUFFLEPUFF!!!

Yeah, go the Hufflepuff Pride.

hehe.
We are awesome after all.
If only there were more of us.

But you know what,
quality over quantity.

:)

You are so gorgeous, chicken.

Go the Pride.

But I tell you something that is sad, did you know Benj moved to Canada?! Canada! How dare he leave us.
I'm so devastated. And I heard somewhere that SOH were playing at Punk N Grind, well obviously not now. And we missed their final gig, and I heard he gave me a shout out.
Did you go? To the last AA gig that is.
