It's April 1st, 1978, when William Weasley meets the Dark Lord. It's not his favorite day. His little brother remembers it differently.

Imagine an eleven year old Harry Potter, fresh from the greenhouses and his first Herbology class, secretly covered in snakes under his robes. They’re just so nice, it can’t hurt to carry them around and keep them warm. They know their way around the school better than him, anyways.

Enter Professor Snape, starting his first class of Griffindor first year Potions.

“Cloaks and robes off, you will be utilizing open flames; loose, draping fabric will catch fire and send you to the hospital wing.”

Harry and a few other students keeps theirs on, trying to blend into the walls. It does not work.

“ROBES AND CLOAKS OFF. Quickly. You are wasting valuable class time.”

Harry removes his, very reluctantly. His arms and legs wriggle with garden snakes.

“Mr. Potter, what the fuck.”

“They’re my friends, professor.”

Snape walks up to Harry, helping get some of these creatures off of him.

“Why are you crawling with snakes, Mr. Potter?”

“They’re so nice, Professor Snape. Plus they told me the fastest way to your class.”

“You speak to snakes?”

“Always have, yeah.”

Snape realizes he is in no way paid enough to deal with this.

why have i never seen someone commenting or mentioning about mattheo riddle speaking parseltongue too?

given that salazar slytherin's descendants inherited this ability, and voldemort is a descendant and speaks parseltongue— it means that mattheo understands and speaks the language of snakes too.

i wonder if he and harry potter ever had an argument. i feel like, after second year (when everyone found out about harry potter being a parseltongue), mattheo used this knowledge to his advantage.

that means that he heard the basilisk too. mattheo was twelve years old, and he couldn't tell anyone, and i mean anyone, about what was happening; he knew since day one. he heard the basilisk, he knows about the ancient plans of his father. imagine the guilt and loneliness of carrying it alone.

to end an argument. stepping closer to harry, dangerously close, looking at him straight in the eyes as the hiss-like language is uttered.

menacingly. even stranger it is, how there's a flash of understanding in their eyes, a silent and never admitted sympathy between them.

do you think that mattheo likes to be able to understand parseltongue, or is he creeped out about that? or maybe he perceives it as another sign that he's inevitably doomed.

( parseltongue is associated to dark wizards and generally bad stuff, remember? yeah, one more point for mattheo riddle here. )

wondering if voldemort speaks to mattheo in parseltongue too. like, keeping his son fluent and used to the language, wanting mattheo to feel the same pride he feels about their lineage.

what if he spoke to nagini too. what if nagini felt like a strange sort of friend or brought a sense of familiarity (he speaks parseltongue, and i don't think that she'd be hostile towards the dark lord's son).

this is too much and too messy at the same time. it's just a random thought i had! please share your perspective with me, this realization came to me like a punch.

Does anyone know who's the artist?

Do you think Ominis would feel different about being a parselmouth if he knew MC had a huge parseltongue kink? Like dirty talk but snakey talk?

Oh for sure, but I imagine he would be extremely conflicted about it.

On one hand he's always associated being a Parselmouth with Salazar Slytherin and his fucked up legacy, which he wants no part of. I remember he outright says in the Scriptorium that he "hasn't spoken it in ages" which is telling enough. But on the other hand, MC would be viewing it as something positive and completely unrelated to Salazar Slytherin which would make him draw pause. Then he would come to process why MC likes it, and he would have to hit pause again. Suddenly there's an upside to being able to speak to snakes, but I think he would still be self-conscious about it at first (understandably)

At the end of the day, I believe that Ominis being who he is means he would still dislike having such a prominent ability that ties him to Salazar's bloodline. He's too critical about his family to suddenly be okay with it. He would, however, be more open and willing to speaking Parseltongue with MC after getting their honest input and doing some reflection and contemplating of his own.

Okay, so my honey and I were having a debate over Ominis' eyes. He asked if Ominis were to use Polyjuice potion, would he be able to see? I thought probably not because according to Sebastian, the Gaunts tried 'everything' to fix Ominis' sight. He thinks possibly because of when the others became Harry in the films, they commented on his bad eyesight. Anyone else want to chime in on this debate?
