Pacing along the cold stone corridors outside the Slytherin common room in Hogwarts Legacy, a sealed passage seems to call to one of my companions. Ominis Gaunt, much like the rest of his prestigious family lineage, happens to be a parselmouth. He hesitantly whispers a reply in the snake language, and a secret passageway slowly creaks open before us. But as I exclaim in wonder, impressed by his rare ability, someone mutters darkly from behind us.
