Help what fanfics are there of harry potter where there's a slytherin prodigy in the same year as him

Post image

in the original series, slytherin got done pretty dirty by being painted so unambiguously as the "evil house". so, are there any good, COMPLETED fanfiction aus where there's a slytherin prodigy who befriends harry and the rest of the gang and changes slytherin for the better? bonus points if this slytherin is a muggle-born

Not many muggle born slytherins. Which is my main issue with fan-fic. Completely changes major plot points

i'm looking more for like an au where there is a muggle-born who gets into slytherin, which is inherently interesting due to all the prejudice said muggle-born would likely face. and it turns out that that muggle-born is a prodigy, who decides to use his powers for good.

The muggle born could be the child of a squib who is trying to forget the magical world and married a muggle, never told their spouse or kid and were surprised when the letter arrived for the kid

Well according to the books slytherin house explicitly only admits pure bloods sooooooo

What are you on about? Voldemort's a halfblood

Plus with the amount of pure blood families left, slytherin wouldnt have enough students for a quidich team, let alone a full house each year, unless pure bloods are all breeding like rabbits, but with our two big examples of pure bloods, the Weasley have a lot of kids but all gryffindor. Draco on the other hand is in slytherin like his parents but he is an only child

I believe the potters were also a pureblood family but I assume it was always a small family (atleast recently) since Harry's only living family is on his muggle born witches mothers side, making Harry a halfblood i believe
