* '''[[ServileSnarker Kreacher:]]''' *after Harry stops After the past few, rather heavy chapters, we get some much-needed levity in "The Bribe" when Kreacher finally succeeds in bringing Mundungus Fletcher back to Grimmauld Place. First off, after Hermione disarms Mundungus, "[his] wand soared into the air, and Hermione caught it. Wild-eyed, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Mundungus dived for the stairs]]: Ron rugby-tackled him from knocking and Mundungus hit the stone floor with a muffled crunch." Then Harry, kneeling in front of the pinned-down Mundungus and pointing his wand at his face in a way that almost reads like a mafia enforcer with a gun, begins his interrogation:

** Later, the Trio ''immediately'' realises who Mundungus is talking about when he mentions she "looked a bit like a toad". This surprises and infuriates Harry enough that he drops his wand, causing it to shoot red sparks that set Mundungus' eyebrows on fire and Hermione has to put it out with Aguamenti, "engulfing a spluttering and choking Mundungus."
* Early in the next chapter, the trio learn that Snape has been appointed as the new Headmaster of Hogwarts. Hermione [[SarcasmMode takes it well]]:
