What are you playing at? You're a Parselmouth? Why didn't you tell us? -I'm a what? -You can talk to snakes. I know. I accidentally set a python on my cousin Dudley at the zoo once. Once. But so what? I bet loads of people here can do it. No, they can't. It's not a very common gift, Harry. This is bad. What's bad? If I hadn't told that snake not to attack Justin-- -That's what you said to it. -You were there. You heard me. I heard you speaking Parseltongue. Snake language. I spoke a different language? But I didn't realize-- How can I speak a language without knowing I can? I don't know, but it sounded like you were egging the snake on or something. Harry, listen to me. There's a reason the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent. Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth. He could talk to snakes too. Exactly. Now the whole school's gonna think you're his great-great-great grandson. But I'm not. I can't be. HERMIONE: He lived a thousand years ago. For all we know, you could be. Who am I, Hedwig?
