Tom! Harry's a Parselmouth! I can't believe it! Harry! Harry Potter! The Harry Potter is a Parselmouth!
How did you discover this amazing fact?
At the Dueling Club. Malfoy conjured a snake and Harry talked to it!
What did he say?
I don't know! I'm not a Parselmouth! It came out like this weird hissing. People are whispering that he was telling the snake to attack a muggleborn from Hufflepuff but Harry wouldn't do that. He's good and he defeated Voldemort and so he wouldn't! He couldn't! But he's a Parselmouth! Voldemort was a Parselmouth! How can Harry be a Parselmouth too!
That is a very good question, my dear.
People are also whispering that Harry's the Heir of Slytherin and he's the one who's attacking everyone. Everyone knows Harry Potter and Filch don't get along, of course, nobody gets along with Filch, so that's not news. But Colin Creevey was stalking Harry Potter and everyone knows that Harry was annoyed with Colin following him around with his camera, of course, everyone was annoyed with Colin following him around with his camera, so that's not news either. But Harry wouldn't hurt anyone. He's Harry Potter! He's good! Just because he's a Parselmouth, doesn't mean he's the Heir of Slytherin or going to turn to the dark side.
You are correct, dear Ginny. It is most astute of you to understand that ability is not indicative of intent.
Huh?
It's your actions which define who you truly are, far more than your abilities, my dear. Harry is still the same boy he was before this revelation. He's still the vanquisher of the Dark Lord.
I know that's exactly what was saying!
Indeed, it was. Can you keep a secret?
Of course, I can! I haven't told anyone about you, have I?
That's very good, Ginny. If people were to find out about us, they would try to keep us apart. I'm very pleased that you understand this and that means I can confide in you as you confide in me.
Aww, you're so sweet!
I try. Now, I have a question for you, my dear.
What's that?
You don't think I'm dark do you?
Of course not! You're my friend and you've helped me out so much this year.
Thank you, that pleases me immensely. Now, I feel I can reveal one of my deepest secrets.
What's that?
I too am a Parselmouth, Ginny.
TOM!
It's simply another language, Ginny, like Mermish or Gobbledegook. There is nothing sinister about being able to speak to snakes and personally I find their conversation more stimulating than most of the conversations I've had with other Hogwarts students.
Could you teach me Parselmouth?
Sadly, no. It's like being able to do magic, my dear. You're either born with the ability or you are not.
Oh.
Do not worry. I'm sure Harry Potter will weather this storm as he has so many others. All you need to worry about is taking care of yourself. So, my dear, why don't you get ready for bed and get some sleep. We don't want Percy to dose with more Pepper-Up Potion, now do we?
No, you're right, Tom. You're a good friend.
Sweet Dreams, Ginny.
oOo
