* MuggleBornOfMages

to:

* MuggleBornOfMagesMuggleBornOfMages: Discussed, with Salazar coming to the astounding conclusion that "squibs" as the Wizarding World know them actually ''have'' magic, they're merely unable to access it because the lack of cleansing rituals caused impurities to pile up in the bloodlines until it clogged the children's cores.



* PhonyPsychic

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Both Salazar and Godric have a lot to say about the Wizarding World in the twentieth century. Most of it isn't positive.

* LaserGuidedKarma
* LockedOutOfTheLoop

to:

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade
HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Salazar Slytherin was thoroughly demonized by Wizarding Britain for the nine centuries following his demise. He's not exactly happy to learn that, and Godric is flat-out horror-struck to hear people casually slandering his bonded sibling as evil incarnate.
* IntrovertedCatPerson
IntrovertedCatPerson: Salazar and his pet kneazle Omorose. He still doesn't understand why she decided to tag him as her human.
* LaserGuidedKarma
LaserGuidedKarma: Pater Longbottom formally disowns the eleven years old Neville for not showing sufficient magic prowess, basically throwing him to the streets. Godric retaliates by setting fire to their estate and cutting the bond with their familial spirit, ensuring the Longbottoms will be left homeless and bereft of their ancestral magick.
* LockedOutOfTheLoopLockedOutOfTheLoop: Dumbledore doesn't have the slightest idea of what his chosen pawn Harry Potter is currently doing under his nose, and how much he lost control over the boy.

* MinorLivingAlone
* MommasBoy

* MassiveNumberedSiblings

* MinorLivingAlone
MinorLivingAlone: Alright, Salazar is mentally a grown up, but that doesn't change the fact that he's physically a preteen and started squatting in a grove rather than go back to the Dursleys right before getting his letter for Hogwarts.
* MommasBoyMommasBoy: Since Neville quietly resents his father Frank for being the impossible standard he cannot reach in his relatives' eyes, he longs more for a bond with his mother Alice, especially with the other Longbottoms neglecting her.



* MysticalPregnancy: With Arcturus fretting about Sirius being too unhealthy to do his duty and produce an heir, Salazar offers to craft a fertility ritual allowing for a woman to conceive without physical intercourse, as long as she's in the same room as the chosen sire.



* SingleSexOffspring: Part of the Weasley family magicks apparently ensure the birth of a son. Female Weasleys can and do exist, but they're implied to be quite the rarity -- little Ginny and her removed cousin Nimue are hinted to be the only ones to be currently alive.



* ThereIsAnother

to:

* ThereIsAnotherThereIsAnother: The runic ritual that bonded Salazar and Godric as close as twins ensured they would be reborn together in the modern era.

* AbusiveParents
AbusiveParents:
** The Dursleys, need we to say more? They actually throw their preteen nephew out of the house for having magic in spite of their best efforts to bully him into losing his power.
** The Longbottoms were completely ''awful'' towards Neville, trying to terrify him into showing some magic, berating him for not taking after his father and ultimately disowning him at eleven years old for lacking promise, on the Christmas holidays.
* AdultAdoptee
AdultAdoptee: After getting the Gryffindor seat in the Wizenmagot, Godric formally adds Nimue Weasley -- who's physically older than him and working as a waitress -- to his household.
* AngstySurvivingTwin
AngstySurvivingTwin: Courtesy of TwinTelepathy, losing a bonded sibling tends to ''hurt''. Godric and Salazar bonded through a druidic ritual, and Salazar dying in an ambush traumatized Godric to the point he spent what was left of his lifespan wallowing in depression.
* ArrangedMarriage
ArrangedMarriage: Arcturus Black agrees to serve as Salazar and Godric's mentor and protector as long as he gets an Heir for his bloodline, which involves finding a suitable bride to bear Sirius' children. If she's offered the opportunity to refuse, nobody even thinks about asking for Sirius to consent to the deal.

ArtificialFamilyMember: Hogwarts actually developped a consciousness and views the Founders as her daddies and mommies. Salazar and Godric roll with it.

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror
ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Salazar doesn't actually register the Dursleys' abuse since child-raising in the eleventh century wasn't exactly ''gentle''.
* {{Druid}}
{{Druid}}: Britain's magic tradition before the Normans invaded and insisted on everyone using wands. Salazar's rebirth might cause a revival.

* GreenThumbExactWords: As Arcturus is quizzing his ancestor's portrait for info about Harry Potter, Phineas Nigellus cheerfully declares the boy couldn't more Slytherin if he tried. After all, it's harder to be more yourself than you already are.
* FutureImperfect: A great deal of ritual and druidic knowledge has been willingly destroyed by the Normans purging anything they deemed an obstacle to their supremacy over the Britain isles and lost to the time and the separation from the mundane world.
* GreenThumb: To be a druid, one needs a grove. It's also the Longbottom familia's magick.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20913215/chapters/49716056 Ouroboros]]'' is a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fanfiction written by [=NovusArs=] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.

In which Salazar Slytherin awakes more than nine centuries in the future, an orphan with a runic scar carved into his forehead and far too much questions about what in the ''unholy hell'' the Wizarding World has done between his demise and rebirth.

So far, he's ''not'' impressed.
