34. Parseltongue

Reid loved his snakes, he was always drawn to them, even when he was a little boy and others his age were scared of them. He trusted them for some reason. Maybe it was because he could talk to them if he got to know them well enough? It was the same with all animals actually, which is what had people confused.

At first they classified him as a Parseltongue, but it didn’t quite fit, since he could understand other magical and non-magical animals. Therefore, people found his abilities disconcerting, some even calling him unnatural. Reid just found them weird.
