Slytherin

'“Or perhaps in Slytherin You’ll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends.” - The Sorting Hat'

Slytherin History
The house was formed by Salazar Slytherin, of which it gets its namesake - similarly to the other three houses. Most Slytherin students are expected to be resourceful and determined. They are were expected to have high blood purity, although that isn't practiced anymore - muggleborns are much more accepted nowadays. Over time of Slytherin's existence, Slytherin became the house of 'evil' and the most dreaded house to be sorted into - due to the high amount of dark witches and wizards who came from this house, one being Voldemort himsefl! Long ago, the house of Slytherin left the School, after a civil war between the four houses and there was rumor of Salazar building a chamber beneath the school - which turned out to be true. The house returned, though, and remained until now.

House Personality
Motivated and driven by success, Slytherins are a high achieving, ambitious bunch, who strive to be the most powerful - and often achieve it greatly, though not through the most outright ways.

Their naturally cunning and determined personality often leads them two paths - trouble or greatness - depending on the person. The're known for doing anything in their power to achieve whatever they set their mind to. They're open-minded and ambitious, though are stereotyped as cold and untrustworthy, which is proven by Slytherin History to be untrue, however is debated from the statistics on how many dark wizards come out of this house.
