Evelyn's p.o.v.

The first thing that I did after entering into the common room, was tripping over my own legs from running to fast, and fell face first to my savior, the coach, before sitting up lazily.

" You're a Parselmouth. Why didn't you tell us? " Ron asked urgently.

" I'm a what? "

" You can talk to snakes. " Hermione added impatiently.

" I know! " Harry answered, totally lost at what were they talking about, " I- *gets kicked at the shin by me* Owie! I mean, we accidentally set python on my cousin, Dudley at the zoo once- "

" Yeah! " I laughed, recalling the memory of my stupid cousin yelling for his parents from inside the snake cage, while swinging my legs freely, like a happy kid, " You should see his fat, stupid expression, when we did that unintentionally. But seriously, only once, so what? I bet loads of people here can do it. "

" No, they can't! " Hermione immediately informed, " It's not a very common gift, Evvy. This is bad. "

Harry scoffed, " What's bad? If I hadn't told the snake not to attack Justin- "

" Oh, that's what you said to it! " Ron exclaimed wildly.

" You were there. You heard me! " Harry almost screamed, and looked at me for support.

" Yup. I definitely heard it. " I confirmed, earning a look of outrageous look from Ron and Hermione.

" I have no idea how you heard him, Evelyn, but I heard Harry speaking Parseltoungue. Snake language? " Ron spoke carefully, like talking to a kid.

" I/He spoke a different language? " Harry and I asked at the same time.

Ron nodded his head slowly, confirming what I was thinking.

" But I didn't realize- "

" How the hell can Harry speak a language without knowing he can? " I asked frustratedly. Cuz if Harry's a Parselmouth, then I definitely am one too. Super bad news.

" I don't know, Harry. But it sounded like you were egging the snake on or something. " Hermione frowned, disgusted. " Harry, Evelyn, listen to me. There's a reason the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent. Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth. He could talk to snake too. "

" Exactly. " Ron agreed, " Now the whole school is gonna think that the two of you are his great-great-great-granchildren or something, especially Harry. "

" But we're not! " We yelled in unison. "... We can't be. "

" He lived a thousand years ago. For all we know, you could be. "

" Is he handsome?? "

" WHY WOULD YOU SUDDENLY ASK THAT OUT OF THE BLUE??? "

" Cuz if he's not, then I am definitely not his descendant. "

" I- "

" AHH!! " Astoria suddenly yelled, slipping into a seat next to me. Despite, half the school, including Susan's crush, accused Harry and I of being Salazar Slytherin's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren, my dear friend still stuck beside me no matter whatever it is. " Exam is coming! I didn't even study for the first chapter of the exam! "

Hermione sighed, pulling Astoria's History text book out of her hands, and started lecturing her.

Susan suddenly looked up from her diary, a horrified look on her face, " There's exam!?!! "
