Slytherin

**Prince-Slytherin** is the surname of a conjoined noble house that was founded in 1980 by Severus and Marvolo Prince-Slytherin while Severus was pregnant with Nathara. With the help of the goblins, the couple claimed their lordships and expressed the desire to have a family all their own. Conjoining the surnames of their respective families, the couple created a family all their own that only grew following the births of their daughters; Nathara Azula (b. 1980) and Snowbell Lilly (b. 1984). The couple later had three more children; a son, Alan Severus, (b.2001), a third daughter, Kya Raine (b.2002), and Aisha June (b.2003).

Created from the union of two Ancient pure-blooded families that originated from Scotland and Ireland respectively, with the latter part of the name descending from the eldest Peverell brother, Antioch Peverell, and the former of the two descending from Merlin Emyrs, the lover of Arthur Pendragon, and Rowena Ravenclaw, mother of Helena Ravenclaw, but was primarily set in Great Britain.

Following the Final Battle, Skyler Falcon and Isabella Shapiro married into the Prince-Slytherin family. The former sired four children: Kiara Ellison (b. 2000), Karone Aisha (b.2003), Andros Marvolo (b.2003), and Ursa Luna Prince-Slytherin (b.2007); and the latter sired three: Azula Lian (b. 2004), Rowena Eleanor (b.2006), and Helena Nicole (b.2008).

## History

### Early history

The Prince-Slytherin family consisted of two ancient line of pure-blood wizards, most of whom attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and were traditionally sorted into Slytherin House. Paternally, the Prince-Slytherin family descends from Antioch Peverell and Salazar Slytherin, who were in turn, distantly related to the Potter family. Maternally, the Prince-Slytherin family descends from Rowena and Helena Ravenclaw, Merlin Emyrs, and Arthur Pendragon.

Though the paternal side of the family, particularly the Gaunts, was inclined to blood-purity, they were unwilling to practise the dangers of inbreeding with cousins, correctly knowing that it would and could potentially endanger their genes, and would accept marrying half-bloods due to the small pool of available pure-bloods. Hence, it is possible to find several half-bloods on the Prince-Slytherin family tree. This differs them from the more fanatical groups such as Blacks, Lestranges and Gaunts, though apparently did not deter their respect from such families.

### Recent history

**Harry Potter**: "*You’ll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Prince-Slytherin*"
**Nathara Prince-Slytherin**: "*I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks. And right now, acting like that to someone who was just acting like they were taught, is not someone I want to be friends with.*"
— Nathara refuses to accept Harry's offer of friendship
Marvolo Prince-Slytherin, the son of Aisha and Katara Riddle, was one of the many half-blood wizards left by the late 20th century. He married Severus Snape, a fellow half-blood of similar background, and they had two daughters, Nathara and Snowbell, the former would later become an ally of House Pikeman. Due to Voldemort being the grandson of Marvolo's uncle, that means that Marvolo and his family have a direct blood relation with the most feared Dark Wizard ever to cross the British Isles.

After Dumbledore's death at the hands of Marcus Greyback and the Death Eaters' escape from Azkaban in 1997, Severus and Marvolo congregated with all their schoolmates and conjured a plan to destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, while leaving the diadem, locket, and ring undamaged. Nathara then married Skyler Falcon sometime between 1998-2005, and had a daughter called Kiara circa 2000. In 2017, Skyler and Nathara, who was four months pregnant, were at King's Cross station to see Kiara and their twins, Karone and Andros off to Hogwarts when Harry Potter saw her again. Kiara, Karone, and Andros were sorted into Gryffindor House, much to Skyler's disappointment.

Nathara's marriage with Skyler was met with the disapproval of the latter's friends. While Skyler was a half-blood descended from of one of the fellow Sacred Twenty-Eight families, her idea in blood-supremacy views influenced by the Second Wizarding War was a painful reminder to Severus and Marvolo, who were subjugated to bullying due to their half-blood status. Nathara, who also disapproved of her wife's blood purist views, as well as her anger for their three eldest being Sorted into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin or Ravenclaw, scolded Skyler and threatened her with divorce if she didn't change her attitude and prejudice after Ursa was born in 2017.

## Prince-Slytherin family crest

The family crest paid homage to Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw, bearing the colours green and Bronze, as well as an image of a Serpens Alatus. The Latin words *Solus autem infirmi sumus, valent. Certamen unus, una pugna* inscribed on the back of the crest translate to *Alone, you are weak, but together, we are strong; One struggle, one fight.*
