"Hey, Tom."

"MY NAME IS...wait."

"Did I get it wrong?"

"...I hate you."

"Ignoring that," she chuckled, "could you teach me Parseltongue?"

"NO!"

"Why not?"

"That is the language of Salazar himself! Why would I knowingly sully its reputation?!"

"I asked if you could, not if you would."

"..."

"That makes sense though," she continued, unperturbed, "it would take an exceptional wizard to attempt such a feat."

"...your manipulation attempts are laughably transparent."

"مرحبا"

"What is that?!"

"My attempt."

"Ssαασhsε ssυποhάzισss."

"Is that Parseltongue?!"

"Sσshsεz."

"Sha-si-shse-sz?"

What followed was an impromptu lesson on parseltongue pronunciation.
