Lets not jump to blame and conclusions too quickly. We don't have any actual evidence that it was an MP yet, let alone that it was Mr Harper.
Hmm... a swan... a mute swan at that... a joke perhaps? Yes, yes, Mr Harper and his birds, I'm aware of that - but a mute swan? Trying to shut you up, perhaps? Maliciously or in a twisted "it's for your own good" line of thought?
*John shakes his head*
We're getting ahead of what we know and into what we think. We need to diagnose it then we can look for who caused this fate to befall you. There aren't any more medical-magic books on the shelf, are there?
Don't worry, I won't confront him until I have proof. I'm still convinced, though.
Are there different kinds of swan? I thought they were all mute. Another question for Wikipedia. It's a pretty ineffective way of shutting me up, silencing me after dark but letting me run my mouth as much as I want during the day. It'll keep me from going on Newsnight about the BSkyB bid, I suppose.
I didn't notice any, but I wasn't looking. I'm terrified to touch it for fear of breaking the light cycle and making it permanent. Wait, maybe that's the point of the light cycle- if it were 24/7 I'd be completely incapacitated and we wouldn't be afraid to tamper with the spell because we couldn't make it any worse, but this way we won't touch it until we're sure we won't do more harm than good.
Perhaps, but once again these thoughts aren't helping us reach any meaningful conclusions.

You've not got much longer, Chris, and my wife will be sure to inflict a great amount of pain on me if I spend another night in Peter's house rather than with her.
*John picks up a few books then changes his mind. Instead he takes the sheet of paper out of his pocket and copies the title and author on to a new piece.*
This is the book I was looking at before and I think it may help us work out what's happened to you. Unfortunately the copy I came across had a page missing that I'd really like to know the contents of. I'll have a look around and see if I can find it anywhere, but a second pair of eyes can't hurt. Could you attempt to locate a copy - this exact edition, if you please?
Thank you. I'll ask Sally very politely to help see if I can get a copy on the internet.
It wasn't intentional, I assure you. I was planning to head home but it got to about 3 a.m. and a copy of Janet Klossop's Animagi Through the Ages suddenly seemed like the most comfortable of pillows.
