Mundungus took a step back.
Looking guilty, he shouted as loudly as he could, "What? What? Are you trying to kill me? I only stole one of your books, and didn't you take it back?"
"Take it back? You robber!"
Hermione shouted furiously.
Mundungus looked even guiltier.
But he still stubbornly said, "It was just a book. I figured he probably didn't want it anyway..."

She wore a pink bow, and her voice was shrill, like she was putting it on..."
In an instant.
A burst of fireworks exploded from
