Comedy Voice Loss

"Alright Hermione" greeted George as she clambered through the portrait hole.

When the twins didn't hear a reply they turned around and sure enough they saw her stood there mouthing "I've lost my voice"

"Sorry didn't quite catch that" said Fred

"Yeah you need to speak up a bit Hermione"

Hermione just stood there and glared at them not able to voice a reply and not knowing what else to do.

"Cat got your tongue, there."

"Or are you just not talking to us"

"Well that's rather rude isn't it George?"

"Why yes Fred I think it is"

The twins both shook their heads in unison and sat back down returning to what they were doing before. Hermione thought she had gotten away with it but unfortunately the twins couldn't let it lie.

"Silence is golden" said George after a few minutes of not saying anything

"Do you think she's lost her voice" suggested Fred

"Nah her tongue's just worn out. She's giving it a rest."

"It's just like when mum lost her voice but then we came back in at three in the morning."

"And it miraculously came back. Yes I remember that"

"Oh they were the good old days Georgie"

"Hey Fred, how did the pig who couldn't speak feel?" Hermione glanced up wearily dreading the answer.

"I don't know, do you know Hermione?"

"I have an idea" she mouthed

"Sorry, if you're feeling a little hoarse maybe you should try some cough stirrup. So George how did the pig feel?"

"Dis-gruntled"
