❝ You could be great, you know,
it's all here in your head, and
Slytherin will help you on
the way to greatness,
no doubt about that. ❞

In gambling, Snake Eyes is a term most usually try to avoid. In the wizarding world, the color green is viewed with the same cautiousness.

The word Slytherin left a bitter aftertaste in the mouth of many, mostly because it was associated with the dark lord himself. However, that doesn't mean it was wrong to be wary of them. Their ambition and drive often burned bridges that Hufflepuff reserved for friendship. They were only perceived as cowardly because they were not as rash as Gryffindor with their bravery. And their knowledge was reserved for things they believed important for getting ahead in their own achievement rather than storing up everything within sight like a Ravenclaw might.

What many ignore though is that Slytherin is not inherently evil. Sometimes that belief works toward their benefit, but that doesn't mean its true. But when the world is jamming the same thing down your throat, you have to swallow every once in a while. From there it doesn't take long to believe the lies spreading quicker than wildfire. But just maybe, there are benefits to rolling snake eyes at times.

❝ You can see opposition and imposition or
you can see an opportunity. As a part of the
Slytherin House, I choose to see opportunity.
If you've chosen to see opposition, and I seize
your opportunity, I assure you that it is less
selfless and more self-serving. In these situations
you'll walk away thanking me, but I'll be all the
richer for reaping the benefits of my choice,
while you will walk away never knowing what
you could have had. ❞
