"Pansy, why is everyone staring at us?"
"Don't ask me! Maybe they're surprised that a bunch of Weasleys are sitting in this section? These are the most expensive seats."
"That wouldn't explain why the whole stadium has turned to stare at us instead of the actual Quidditch game."
"It's the best explanation I can come up with, though."
"Well, I have a better one."
"George? I should have figured you had something to do with it."
"It wasn't me. It was Fred! Those sweets you just ate were some of our new Sonorus Sweets. They won't be on sale until next week. You got to try them out beforehand! Aren't you lucky?
"Sonorus Sweets?" What have they got to do with it?"
"Well, dear brother, your voices have been magnified. The whole stadium can hear everything you're saying."
"What?"
"Oh, you speak at the same time! That's so cute!"
"Ron, I hate your brothers."
"Join the club. How long will these last? Would a Silencio work?"
"Silencio. Did it work?"
"Since everyone are shaking their heads, I'm guessing not."
"I could have told you that!"
"George, you're not helping. Tell us how to stop this, right now!"
"Aren't you impatient? It'll wear off... In a few hours or so. And you're doing so well as living, walking, talking advertisements."
"You know, Ron, I'm starting to think this is why Fred and George never get any dates."
"Oh, but they do sometimes. It's just that they always manage to mess them up. George here had a date last week, actually, but the girl slapped him and stormed out after 15 minutes."
"Really?"
"Yes, apparently George suggested to her that-"
"Ron! Mum is probably listening to this on the radio! Here, have some Silencio Chocolates. They'll get you back to normal, okay?
"Thanks."
"... did they work?"
"... seems like it."
"Good. What, exactly was that suggestion?"
"Well... lean over, I'd better whisper it..."
"... What?"
"Ow! You don't have to slap me, I'm just telling you what George said."
"Oh, sorry. George is sitting too far away, and it was a spontaneous reaction. I'll kiss and make it better later."
"I'll hold you to that."
"Hey, why don't the two of you do that here? Most the audience is still watching, and we could say it was a side effect of the sweets. Sales would increase drastically, I'm sure."
"George?"
"Yes, little brother?"
"Shut up."
