So, I was struck on my second read (yes I started it right after the first one) with this particular conversation in Parseltongue:
“You ssaid no time,” came the snake’s hiss, “but plan iss for you to rule country, obvioussly, even your young noble friend hass undersstood that by now, assk him on return if you wissh. Will ssay no more now, iss time to fly, not sspeak.”
So actually one can tell lies in Parseltongue?
SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL CHAPTERS OF THIS FAN-FICTION, I GUESS
First of all, glad to know I’m not the only ones that feels compelled to read this masterpiece more than once. Second, no, you can’t lie in Parseltongue, if you read the last chapters Tom, since calling him Voldemort or Quirrell feels weird, says that his original plan was to make Harry/Other Tom the ruler of magical Britain, and fight each other like two retired old friends would play chess, but unfortunately, or fortunately, he heard the prophecy that said Harry would tear apart the very stars in space, got scared, and changed his plans to kill Harry to prevent this future from happening, not that it worked.
