Wish me luck. Today is the day I embark on an incredible, life-changing journey to face my demons (job interview)

Urgh, I hadn’t written in months! Anyway, hi, hello, I am still here on planet Earth and have not relocated to Jupiter or any other celestial body. How are we all doing this fine day?

Scrolling on Reddit and I came across an interesting perspective I hadn’t considered before. “Harry should have been in Slytherin! The hat said so!” is a take many people agree with, but a few people pointed out this:
Harry was the first to bring up Slytherin — “Not Slytherin” — and then, and only then, did the hat go (paraphrased), “Are you sure? You’d do well in Slytherin.”
Also, the hat brought up courage and a thirst for knowledge before Harry had even spoken. If we looked at the most baseline traits of the four houses, it sounds like Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were the ones the hat was considering more.
(Also also, and this is veering into more personal opinion, canon!Harry should not have been Slytherin because the story would have vastly changed. But that’s what fanfiction is for!)

@onyxjay You shouldn't forget that Harry was reckless and that mixed up with courage brought him trouble even though he did it for a good cause. But that's what differentiated him from Slytherin. He had the right mix of slyness and honesty that attracted the right sort but also fend off the wrong sort . If you ask me, he is somewhere between being a Gryfindor and Slytherin, neither of these houses can call him theirs completely.

@fourth_wall_breaker you mean when he was with the Dursleys? I think that’s fanon. Harry told Hagrid he gets good marks

So, uh, “A Little Help From a Snake” reached 3 million reads. I hadn’t expected that at all, but thank you all. The fact that people are still reading it even after 4(?) years blows my mind. Again, thank you.

@onyxjay I come back to reread that story every year at least, it's phenomenal. I am always coming back to your page to check for any new works, or to reread the others. I've seen this fic referenced in SO many other fics its crazy, this fic deserves all the praise it receives. It's one of those few fics you read and never forget, the one you judge all fics going forward with

Been a while since I’ve checked in. How y’all doing? Hanging in there?

onyxjay
Jayson Fletcher Sage, but I haven’t given one to Sid yet so you can come up with one if you wish
