I love this. Always hated that Slytherin was the generic designated "evil" house. They're all people too.

I liked John Lennon's version wayyy better.

Of course it's a fanfiction, Sirius survive.

Imagine if Harry kept his gills from the Triwizard & Voldemort saying "that's some fucked up shit kid"

Imagine if Voldemort was the gills and Harry had to find whatever the opposite of Gillyweed is to get rid of him for good.

I was all choked up until I read your comment, now I can't stop laughing. Thank you

under the assumption that Warrington is a standup guy.\

Or the Slytherins would call Warrington a traitor, Harry a murderer, and everyone would shit on Hufflepuff more than they already do.

Interesting, but not the most likely. "Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends" Why would he help the competition?
OSCgal
Could take the long view, that winning the Tournament isn't the end.
TastyBrainMeats
Because a valuable resource is not to be discarded lightly.
BreakerMark78
Possibly because warrington now 'owes' potter for telling him about the first.
NickRoth1202
Slitherin would be more incloned to help Gryffindor in the first to events since it would give Hogwarts a better chance of winning.
Ivain
Or maybe he's actually clever and instead of a 'honor'-based thing it's more like a transaction.
Wifwolf
It would depend on whether Warrington would see Gryffindor winning as a loss for himself, also "Slytherin", "inclined", "two".
NickRoth1202
Fair point, also I'm mildly dyslexic
Wifwolf
I am glad you think so. I hadn't considered Warrington's personality, so you might be right. And the corrections were not to be a dick :)
jakethecoolguy
Notawallplan
Yes. It's actually that good.
RuKosopaty
i find it far more interesting than original, but honestly if slytherin kid died - Voldemort's propaganda would just made it Harry's fault
mastertmo
Unfortunately, it would probably come down more like this when Harry comes back with Cassius' body: "Oh my god! Harry killed Cassius!!"

As a Slytherin, it's nice to have a positive post about my house for once
28if
Same.
Subtilico
Great stuff. Always thought the exclusion of Slytherin was a recipe for trouble.
xThariusx
It kind of bugged me that Dumbledore always gave out last minute bonus points so his fav house would always win. Had to suck 4 everyone else
AllHailTheDramaLlama
I mean, yeah the probably won Gryffindor the cup but they'd just saved a life so you can't tell me that wasn't deserved.|2
xThariusx
I get that, but they often broke the rules and then got rewarded for it which was weird (even though it all turned out okay). 1/3
xThariusx
I get that they ended up saving the day, but just from a different perspective it sends a weird message to the other students. 2/3
xThariusx
But the whole point system was messed up though and revolved around favoritism, Snape was constantly taking their points for stupid shit.
AllHailTheDramaLlama
Always?He did that a grand total of...once. Twice, maybe if you count the 200 point Harry and Ron get for literally saving the school in CoS
xThariusx
Yeah, I guess that did only happen the first couple years. But it would still suck to be in one of the other houses and think you are 1/3
xThariusx
gonna win the house cup just to have it given to Gryffindor every damn time. And even though Harry and the gang saved the day, they.. 2/3
xThariusx
constantly broke rules there to keep students safe and then got rewarded for it. It worked out for them but sends a fucked up message 3/4
Subtilico
Indeed, not a good educational example.
AllHailTheDramaLlama
It actually was a very good educational example.
TheLordCommander
They even introduce them as "the house that produces the most dark witches and wizards".
MilkBubbleTea
Well, "dark" doesn't always mean "evil," but I guess HP characters wouldn't realize that, huh.
AllHailTheDramaLlama
It does in HP though. Dark wizards are called so because they use magic to harm others, there is no other destinction.
MilkBubbleTea
Hence the second part of my comment. :)
TheLordCommander
Either way, the house didn't really have the best reputation. Neither did Salthazar himself.
MilkBubbleTea
Well, yeah
PostNutDepression
I like to think that Slytherin just means you have the drive and ambition to do what you want, and aren't inclined towards evil.
AllHailTheDramaLlama
We need to seperate pottermore/rl slytherins from book slytherins for this to be true. RL people who identify with Slytherin are obviously|1
TheLordCommander
The house may not be evil, nor the members within it but the way that it is presented in the books is antagonistic.
AllHailTheDramaLlama
chances are you belong there because you are probably either a racist yourself or will be after 7 years of living with them.|5
AllHailTheDramaLlama
No matter how much you agree with some of their ideals, if you are willing to look past the "and we're also all racist" part to get in |4
AllHailTheDramaLlama
And yes, LET because Harry proved that you can pick where you want to go. There are exeptions but imagine if this was a club not a house.|3
AllHailTheDramaLlama
not automatically evil. Book Slytherins let themselves be sorted into a house full of racists. Slytethrin is a house full of racists. |2

Voldemort: "Oh! Well done Draco!" *embrace* Draco: "Oh Piss Off Riddle, this ones for Warrington! Avada Kedavra!"
TiddlyWinKing
Brilliant!!
TheOneWhoLocks
I think it would've been a much quicker story if Harry had the balls to actually try to inflict damage rather than stun or disarm
somenerandom
Harry was good for his age, but he really wasn't on the level of an adult fighter(e.g Lupin,Snape,Kingslay,Sirius etc etc).His contribution>
somenerandom
was mostly plot armor, the prophecy, and the tons of information Dumbledoor fed him. Harry's actual fights hardly really impact the story.
TheManInTheWall
Or if someone used a gun. Imagine mr weasley stealing Vernons shotgun and taking it into the battle of hogwarts
xxXrosesisdogeXxx
Tarelgeth
You can replace the wands in HP with guns. All 95% of spells do is make a bang and cause something on a shelf to shatter anyway.
TheManInTheWall
Yeah. True. The most destructive spells dont even have words to them. Remember harry at ollivanders in HP1. Imagine that to a person
ChloePrice
I don't think a chubby, cowardly English dude has a shotgun lying around to be perfectly honest.
SwitchPup
Lots of 'em do, actually. Perfect tool for bird hunting out in the country, which is a popular pastime among certain demographics.
StandardDeviant
He had one in the first book. He bought it when they were running away from the letters, and Hagrid bent it up.
TheManInTheWall
Exactly where i was referencing from. How would voldemort cast a protection spell within the time it takes for a bullet to travel?
StandardDeviant
Maybe the spell to deflect bullets is a really low level spell or has a long duration?
ChloePrice
Now that you mention it, you're totally right! How DID he get it?
StandardDeviant
He knew a guy
MilDravin
not exact but "Uncle Vernon drew a shotgun an pointed it at the huge man" 'Harry then knew what was in the parcel Vernon brought along'
BillysLegendaryCrack
Loads of the Order shot to kill, Harry was 17 at the oldest and it's not easy to fucking kill people. Malfoy couldn't do it either.
BillysLegendaryCrack
Plus imperious curse, Stan Shunpike, yadda yadda.

You could stop it near the start. They prob wouldn't have killed Warrington if his family were Seth eaters or he wanted to join Voldemort

I know and if they had. Harry Potter returning with a sliytherin corpse would have made him look suspicious.

And Harry brought back Cedric's body because Cedric asked him to. Cassius may not have asked him to, especially if his parents were there.

It's called "anaphora" and is used for emphasis. The "I have a Dream" speech is one of the more famous examples of anaphora.

Most of the really good fanfics I've ever read were "what if" stories. When you have a fully fleshed out world already it's easy to play in.

Not just that. "You were destined to be bad, you are in the bad house, therefore you are evil, you have no choice."

And you know, Snape, Slughorn, perhaps even Narcissa and Draco. Andromeda Tonks was a Slytherin. She married a filthy muggle!

Yeah, but they were all rebelling against their house. 99% of Slytherin were voluntarily wizard nazis. I love HP, but it's not perfect.
