Yet more than a thousand years of assumptions and misunderstandings have accumulated on the subject of the noble houses of the world famous school.

'And at last there came a morning
when old Slytherin departed
and though the fighting then died out
he left us quite downhearted.
...though condemned I am to split you
still I worry that it's wrong'
~ The Sorting Hat
Since the famous falling out, the Sorting Hat itself speaks out in favour of much greater unity. Perhaps, if we can overcome the stereotypes and misconceptions we associate with each house, we can finally, after all this time, unite, and grow to be the multidimensional witches and wizards we are supposed to be; finally correcting the wrongs of our magical ancestors, and creating a rich Hogwarts legacy to truly bring honour and greatness to our school.
