I Solemnly Swear that I am Up to No Good

I think Harry's going a bit bonkers. He keeps wanting me to go get books about house-elves of all things. And he told me about I'm not sure why.

Also, I've heard a lot of people saying things, talking about who the "heir" is, and some people say it's the heir of Slytherin, and some people say it's Harry because he's the Lord Protector's heir, and I overheard someone talking and I thought what if Harry is the heir of Slytherin? Only I know he isn't the one doing this stuff, I'm sure of it, I mean, I wasn't with him in the hospital wing or anything but I'd know because he couldn't hide it if it was him.

What do you lot think?

Huh. I'd believe that--that Carrow thinks he's Slytherin's heir.

Is there a way to look up who people are related to?

If you have a tapestry or a family register you can but here's the thing.

NO ONE at the school has a tapestry with Salazar Slytherin on it. Or any of the other Founders. There are loads of wizards out there who say they're related to a founder but none of them can prove it.

But, I mean, does anybody really have tapestries that go back that far? It'd have to be a hundred feet long, wouldn't it?

Nobody's got a tapestry going back that far, no. Hogwarts was founded a thousand years ago.

Draco's goes back a long way and I think they've got books that go back further, or out further. It's crazy how many people in Slytherin are distant cousins. And not just in Slytherin, I mean you're related to all of them too Ron.

If anyone would know it would be Teddy. He's the one who told me how you were related to Draco. And he says no one can prove Slytherin's their ancestor.
