Salazar's Journal

Summary:

Blood that is pure and true, tis. t may not at each moment beest so, unfortunate times may befall us. But Blood wilt out. Only us of truest descent may seek these words. Spoken. Writ. t'will not beest learnt. I forbid t so. Hark hither, mine descent, hark close and readeth close. For I wilt not writeth once more. Blood is thick. Blood is pure. Blood is truth. Blood is war.

 

The book is old and dusty, found slotted in one of many shelves in the Hogwarts Library, untouched for a very long time with some of the pages missing. The Journal of Salazar Slytherin.

Notes:

If you have a tag for works like this or have any ideas for a name for works like this (written as though the author is part of the universe), please let me know.

Also, this isn't the language that the founders would have used buuuut if I wrote it like that... it wouldn't be understood lmao.

Chapter 1: Foreword

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

This script is one for only those who readeth and speaketh a noble blood that wilt not wash nor taint with decade, century and millennia. We art few now and maybe we shalt groweth, but tis with most wondrous doubt I cast such predictions. Methinks any sear of truest sight would knoweth the same truth. Our blood doest not taketh kind to many, some would bethink t curséd. Nay, we art blesséd. Blood runneth thick and ours coequal thicker.

Blood that is pure and true, tis. t may not at each moment beest so, unfortunate times may befall us. But Blood wilt out. Only us of truest descent may seek these words. Spoken. Writ. t'will not beest learnt. I forbid t so. Hark hither, mine descent, hark close and readeth close. For I wilt not writeth once more. Blood is thick. Blood is pure. Blood is truth. Blood is war.

- Salazar Slytherin

Notes:

I was inspired to write this by Chuck_Johannsen's work Notes of Interest to the Informed Mind which is also written as though the author is a part of the HP universe and I'm going to reference it in Two Natures as a book that Tom Riddle reads. This fic will serve the same purpose, as will be revealed in chapter three. If anyone else wants to use this work in a similar way, I'd be more than happy for them to as long as it is linked.
