After the students had filed in, they were introduced to a rather different tall, gaunt, pale man than the one they were used to.

“Good morning,” he said in slow English with a silky smooth sneer. “You may call me,” he paused, “Lord Voldemort. I have been requested to be here to educate you all in the fine art of slipping one’s tongue around the intricacies of Parseltongue - the language of snakes.”

He looked disgusted as he indicated a pile of papers on Dream’s desk. “Take a vocabulary sheet, if you please. Then ask me whatever questions you may have in Parseltongue. If all else fails, I’ll resort to English, but I warn you - it’s nearly an unconscious language. I won’t be happy about having to change.” He glanced at Dream. "But...I will oblige you, as you're," another sneer, "students, yet."

His red slits of eyes were scoping out various entrances and exits to the classroom, and his hands continued to reach for a clearly absent wand. It's also possible that he may have looked almost as though he was being forced to be there by some means.

But only if you were really paying attention. Which you shouldn't be. Because you're supposed to be working on Parseltongue.

[ooc: OCD threads ~~coming~~ are up. ~~Also, I have some stuff to take care of this afternoon, so I'll be gone for about an hour. Should be back pretty steadily after that, though.~~ Huzzah, am back!]

~~//Daaaaamn...What happened to your face?//~~

~~//Can I call you Voldie?//~~

~~//Would you like to read my Cosmo magazine?//~~

//Good Morning! What are some of the practical uses for parseltongue?//

~~//Man, you come back from a dead-like state of infancy once, and everyone's a critic.//~~

~~//Only if you're really not all that into the whole 'alive' scene//~~

~~//I'm a Marie Claire man, myself//~~

//Aside from simply being one of the most renowned and rare skills that one can possess, the ability to communicate with snakes comes in quite handy in dealings requiring a more subtle communication and a need for discretion. The serpent can prove to be a most useful ally.//

~~//You should really try a wig. And some glasses. Maybe a nose.//~~

~~//Lord Vizzle?//~~

~~//Marie Claire is for pussys//~~

"Cool, man!" Blair bounced happily. //Are there aspects of the serpent culture that you would want to share with other people? What's your favorite things about snakes?//

~~//Wigs itch! And see, I tried the glasses thing, but my face is all wrong. I do miss having a nose, though.//~~

~~//That may possibly be the best name ever//~~

~~//Nuh uh. It's got Splurge vs. Steal! What more could you ask for?//~~

~~Lord Vizzle~~ Voldemort considered this question. //I like snakes because they're...quiet.//

~~//Oh! One of those glasses with the nose attached and the little tiny mustache!//~~

~~//Now you just need some bling....and hos.//~~

~~//Please...are you 12? Maybe if you read something a little more adult you wouldn't have to use magic tattoos to make your friends hang out with you.//~~

//Really? Are all snakes quiet because of sleathy reasons or are they just quiet because they don't have a lot to talk about or do they just not talk to humans a lot?// He wiped his mouth and grinned up at Lord ~~Vizzle~~ Voldemort. //This is a very drooly language, isn't it?//

~~//You don't think it'd draw away from my cheekbones?//~~

~~//Fo shizzle. I already gots me some hos, yo.//~~

~~//DO NOT DIS THE MAGIC TATTOO OMG. YOU KNOW YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS.//~~

//Yes, yes, yes, and not if you speak it correctly// said the non-drooly Lord ~~Vizzle~~ Voldemort.

~~//Hmmm...it might, but you could accent it with a light blush. You look like a winter to me.//~~

~~//Funny, I always thought they were your bitches//~~

~~//I'm so not jealous! You suck! I hate you! ...do the tattoos hurt a lot?//~~

//Wow, you must speak it a lot not to be drooling everywhere. Do you ever find yourself getting all hissy in english?//

~~//Yeah, I tried this toner stuff? And all it did was look bronzy. So tacky.//~~

~~//See, you're confusing Malfoy and his wife there.//~~

~~//Yes, but they are soooo worth it. Cell phones are way overrrated. Magical summoning tattoos all the way, omg!//~~

//Quite often. My voice is naturally somewhat...raspy...as you may have noticed.//

~~//Maybe a light base first then bring out your natural lines with subtle color. Try not to look so Michael Jackson dragqueen-esqe//~~

~~//oooh...burn!//~~

~~//But what about free minutes and push to talk features? OMG DEATHEATERS...CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?//~~

//Honestly I thought you were talking that way to intimdate us. Is that really what parseltongue does to your voice? Do you want a cough drop?//

~~//It's a look, omg. I am not a drag queen except on weekends and only Lucius knows about that and wtf not Michael Jackson.//~~

~~//What, he likes it.//~~

~~//The Dark Mark Plan comes with free Mark-to-Mark texting, though!//~~

//No, thank you// he said much more politely than he really wanted to. //And the language doesn't do this, no. I have had a very long life.//
