There aren't very many books in the library on parseltongue. I mean, sure, it's rare and all and the people who can do it are evil gits (myself not included because I'm not, as far as I know, evil), but you'd think there'd be some books on it. There probably are in the Restricted Section, but I don't care enough about this assignment to go in there I think I'll just wing it.

Parseltongue is the ancient art of communicating with snakes. Er It is usually feared because it was something that Salazar Slytherin was famous for. It's also a very rare talent and only three people in history have been known to have it.
Salazar Slytherin
One of the four founders of Hogwarts. Salazar Slytherin came from "the fen" or Norfolk. He was the founder of the Slytherin House and was a real bigot very selective when it came to who he thought should be allowed to go to Hogwarts. He fancied purebloods He believed that only Pureblooded witches and wizards should be allowed in and got in a fight with Godric Gryffindor over it.
Salazar Slytherin was also a parseltongue, which earned him the nickname "Serpent-tongue", and was also rumored (rumored, my arse) to have built The Chamber of Secrets with a bloody dangerous giant basilisk inside. Only his true heir would be able to open it which leads me to wonder why I could. Right. THANKS VOLDEMORT!
Voldemort
Born as Tom Marvolo Riddle II, this psychotic git he eventually attended Hogwarts, was sorted into Slytherin duh and eventually graduated to become one of the most absolutely annoying pains in the arse the wizarding world had ever seen powerful wizards the wizarding world had ever seen. By rearranging the letters in his name, Tom Riddle became Lord Voldemort.
Being that Voldemort is the Heir of Slytherin, he also possesses the ability to speak parseltongue (he even has his own pet snake, Na-somethingorother and control the giant basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. He might have been the last of them to be able to do it because, be honest, who on earth would want to have his babies, if he hadn't tried to kill me.
