PARSELMOUTHS: ARE THEY DANGEROUS?
By Cora Notch
Are Parselmouths posing a threat to our society? Or are they just normal people born with a talent?
For all of you who don't know, a Parselmouth is a wizard who can speak to snakes, in a language called Parseltongue. As most of us know, the dark lord He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named spoke the language, so there is a possibility that Parselmouths are just instinctively dangerous. But also, Harry Potter had the rare gift to speak to snakes as well, and he actually defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Parselmouths are indeed rare, and it was hard to find some, so the Ministry (currently being run by Hermione Granger) traveled all around Britain to feed Veritaserum to many wizards and witches. They found 4 (a very, very small number) Parselmouths. Only 1 out of the 4 were rude, mean, and possibly dangerous. The conclusion is that some Parselmouths are mean (and possibly evil) and some are nice, just like normal witches and wizard. So you must not be prejudice, because the Ministry's studies actually proved that there are more nice (or normal) Parselmouths than mean (or evil) ones. One of the most evil wizards of all time just happened to be a Parselmouth.
So never fear if you are a Parselmouth! It doesn't mean you are evil at all! It just means you were born with a rare gift.
