SALAZAR SLYTHERIN

 

    Salazar Slytherin was born Feburary 5th over a thousand years ago. He was a kind boy, dependent of his mother in his early years. But times becameharsh for wizards and his mother was sought out by Muggles who wished her harm.  Sezera Slytherin thought it best to leave her young son with a Muggle family. From there, Sezera was killed by the Muggles that Salazar soon learned to hate. He fled the town in search of education as a wizard.

    He found it in Hogsmeade, where he was able to work in bakery for education from Kuhrin Lesbith. She taught him everything she knew and tryed to be helpful, but Salazar thought she was bossy acting like teacher, only three years older than him. Yet they slowly became friends and Salazar accepted the fact that Kuhrin was only helping him. Salazar began to discover new spells and potions over the next few years, and gained fame from it.

    Salazar became a cunning wizard who stayed rooted to his opinions. He still believed Muggles deserved to be hated, and was often harsh to them. Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor met by chance at a popular resturant and they became friends. They wanted to create a wizard`s school, Hogwarts, and invited Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw to help. Salazar had always known he was Parselmouth, and made the snake his house symbol almost immediately. Salazar married Kuhrin during the making of Hogwarts, and they had a son named Surzian.

    When Surzian was approximately two years old, his father had just about destroyed the castle in his rage. He argued constantly that Muggle-born students were untrustworthy until he felt the world had turned on him. He ignored his wife, son, and friends and froze his heart with the anger and greed that was finally unleashed in the Chamber of Secrets. Then Salazar disappeared into the night, never to be seen or heard from again. It is said that Kuhrin was last to see him, walking briskly toward the Forbidden Forest, numb to his wife`s distant pleas and his son`s distant cries as he walked deeper into the trees.
