Hey everyone welcome back to Harry Potter folklore, you’ve seen the title of this
video, it’s gonna be an interesting one.
We’re taking a look at the what if scenario on what would happen if Voldemort had managed
to resurrect hogwarts founder and one of the most powerful wizards of his time, Salazar
Slytherin.
This video opens up a whole new storyline and I’m so excited to bring it to you today
so make sure to give the video a thumbs up if you do indeed enjoy it.
So let’s not hang about and get straight into it.
Lord Voldemort has always pushed the boundaries of magic, I mean he revolutionised it.
He took the horcrux and brought it to another level.
He created so many spells and curses that he wa unrivalled in dark magic.
He even managed to achieve what gallery grindelwald only dreamed about by creating an army of
inferi, that he never even used by the way.
So if he could do all of that, it’s possible that the art of resurrection is not out of
the question and even if it wasn’t possible, this is a Harry Potter folklore what if video
and I say it’s possible so let’s continue.
As a student, Tom Riddle was the heir of Slytherin himself and set upon continuing Salazar’s
noble work as he called it.
He wanted to embody everything that Slytherin was until he realised of course, he could
do a lot more and set about on doing so.
Part of victory plan was to abolish all of the hogwarts houses except Slytherin where
only pureblooded students would be admitted.
So let’s assume that an additional part of his plan was to resurrect Salazar Slytherin.
It would be a highly complicated and dangerous ritual which would involve Voldemort pouring
part of his life force into the actual spell.
This was ancient magic, extremely old dark stuff, something voldemort had been searching
for.
Now he not only has the power to take life and prolong life, he can now also restore
it.
So the dark lord successfully resurrects Slytherins spirit and places him into a rudimentary body,
just like the one he had, using naginis venom and unicorn blood.
He performs a modified version of the rebirth spell, but uses the bone of Slytherin he retrieved
from his grave, which took him quite some time to locate.
The rebirth spell is successful and Salazar Slytherin is born again.
This is going to have a profound impact on the wizarding world and change it’s history.
Voldemort would likely have sought to use Slytherin's reputation and influence to further
his own goals and ideology.
Slytherin's views on pure-blood superiority align with Voldemort's beliefs, and the former's
cunning and strategic mind could have been a valuable asset to the Dark Lord.
However, the wizarding community would likely have had a mixed reaction to this development.
Some would see it as a betrayal of the values of the wizarding world, while others might
view it as a way to bring Slytherin back into the fold and possibly turn him from his dark
ways.
This could have created division and conflict within the wizarding community, as individuals
were forced to choose sides and reevaluate their beliefs and values.
In terms of the larger conflict between the forces of good and evil, Voldemort's alliance
with Slytherin could have given him a significant advantage in the war.
Slytherin's cunning and strategic mind, combined with Voldemort's power and influence, could
have made them a formidable force to be reckoned with.
However, redemption is not always easy, and Slytherin may have struggled to reconcile
his past actions with his new allegiances.
Don’t forget, Slytherin really just wanted to protect the magical race.
The wizarding community would likely have had a skeptical view of his redemption, and
Salazar may have struggled to uphold their trust as he came from a completely different
time period.
Let’s Continue to look at the impact on the wizarding world both in terms of politics
and power dynamics.
One of the main challenges for the wizarding world would have been the question of loyalty.
Many wizards and witches may have been torn between their loyalty to Slytherin from his
incredible reputation alone and their hatred for Voldemort.
Some may have sought to join forces with the resurrected Slytherin, seeing him as a way
to defeat Voldemort once and for all.
Others may have been wary of Slytherin's intentions, and may have seen his resurrection as a means
for Voldemort to tighten his grip on the wizarding world.
The Ministry of Magic will be forced to take a stance on the situation, either supporting
Slytherin and Voldemort, or opposing them and aligning with the forces of good.
This could have created further division within the wizarding community, as individuals went
from deciding whom to choose sides with to actually making these decisions and following
through.
The resurrection of Slytherin would likely have shifted the balance of power in favor
of Voldemort and his forces of darkness.
Slytherin's cunning and strategic mind, combined with Voldemort's own power, would have made
them appear undefeatable and a force to be reckoned with.
The wizarding world may have struggled to even contemplate a plan of action.
However, it is important to note that resurrection is a complex and controversial issue within
the wizarding world, and the methods used to bring Slytherin back to life could have
had consequences that even Voldemort and Slytherin could not have anticipated.
An additional challenge for the wizarding community would have been the question of
control.
Slytherin's views on pure-blood superiority aligned with Voldemort's own beliefs, and
together they would have had a significant amount of control over the wizarding world.
This could have resulted in a tightening of restrictions and limitations on those who
did not fit within their definition of pure-blood, and the wizarding world could have become
a much more oppressive place.
The Order of the Phoenix, along with other groups fighting against Voldemort, would have
been faced with the difficult task of opposing both Slytherin and Voldemort.
The resurrection of Slytherin would have added further complexity abd it is likely that things
would have certainly escalated, leading to even more destruction and loss of life.
However, it is important to remember that the wizarding world is a place full of surprises
and unexpected events.
While Slytherins rebirth may have been a major event, it is possible that other unexpected
events may have arisen, completely changing the course of the war and altering the future
of the wizarding world.
For example it is possible that the death eaters, who were once followers of Lord Voldemort,
would have pledged their allegiance to both Voldemort and Slytherin.
This would have led to an even larger and more organized group of dark wizards, making
it even more challenging for the Order of the Phoenix and other groups fighting to defeat
them.
Furthermore, the resurrection of Slytherin may have inspired other dark wizards to attempt
to bring back other powerful dark wizards from the past, leading to an even greater
number of dark forces opposing the wizarding world and taking magic in a direction it was
never meant to be taken.
This could have resulted in a never-ending cycle of resurrection and defeat, with each
new dark wizard that was brought back only serving to make the conflict more intense.
I know that’s a rather farfetched look on things but as you know, when you open a can
of worms, there are consequences.
It is also possible that the resurrection of Slytherin would have had an impact on the
Muggle world as well.
The wizarding world and the Muggle world have always been separate, but if the war between
the forces of good and evil escalated, it is possible that the Muggle world would have
become involved as well.
This could have resulted in more widespread destruction and loss of life, as things would
now reach new heights.
Moreover, the return of Slytherin would have impacted the magical creatures that lived
in the wizarding world.
Slytherin was known for his cunning and manipulation, and it is possible that he would have used
his influence to control or manipulate magical creatures for his own purposes.
This could have led to the exploitation and mistreatment of these creatures, something
Voldemort was actually in control of himself.
I don’t know how he would have reacted to sharing the limelight with Slytherin or even
delegating tasks to him, that’s even if Slytherin would accept being given a task.
Even though it’s possible, highly possible that the death eaters did align themselves
with this new dark alliance, it still could have caused a rift within the ranks.
While they may have initially rallied around the idea of bringing back such a powerful
and influential dark wizard, it is possible that the reality of having Slytherin back
would have been very different from what they imagined.
Slytherin may have had his own goals and agendas that may have been in conflict with those
of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
Moreover, as we all know, Slytherin was known for his belief in pure-blood wizarding superiority,
and it is possible that this belief would have led to further tension and unease as
many of the wizarding community members who did not have pure-blood heritage would have
felt threatened and marginalized, leading to further division and unrest.
Furthermore, it is possible that Slytherin's resurrection would have had an impact on the
education system at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Slytherin was one of the four founders of Hogwarts, and his return may have led to a
resurgence of Slytherin's values and beliefs in the curriculum and teachings at the school.
This could have resulted in a new generation of wizards who subscribed to Slytherin's views
on pure-blood superiority, leading to further conflict and division with the latest hogwarts
graduates.
It is also possible that Slytherin's resurrection would have changed the way in which magic
was practiced.
He was known for his innovative and unique approach to magic, and his return may have
inspired a new generation of wizards to explore new and different ways of practicing the art.
This could have led to a revival of long-forgotten spells and incantations, and a new era of
magical exploration and discovery.
In conclusion, the resurrection of Salazar Slytherin by Lord Voldemort would have had
far-reaching and complex consequences for the wizarding world.
While the initial idea of bringing back such a powerful and influential dark wizard may
have seemed appealing, the reality of having Slytherin back would have been very different
from what was imagined.
The wizarding world would have been impacted in many ways, from the relationships between
different members of the community, to the education system, to the way in which magic
was practiced.
It is impossible to predict exactly how the future would have played out in this alternate
reality, but it is clear that the consequences of Slytherin's resurrection would have been
far-reaching and profound.
There you have it everyone, that is my take on what would happen if Salazar Slythering
was brought back to life.
I know it’s a crazy theoretical idea but something that this channel was built on was
these unconventional what if scenarios.
Thanks for watching and look out for the next video.
