“Yeah,” said Harry. “Like Barty Crouch, turned into a bone and buried in Hagrid’s front garden. They probably transfigured Moody and stuffed him —”
“Don’t!” squealed Hermione. Startled, Harry looked over just in time to see her burst into tears over her copy of Spellman’s Syllabary.
“Oh no,” said Harry, struggling to get up from the old camp bed. “Hermione, I wasn’t trying to upset —”
But with a great creaking of rusty bedsprings, Ron bounded off the bed and got there first. One arm around Hermione, he fished in his jeans pocket and withdrew a revolting-looking handkerchief that he had used to clean out the oven earlier. Hastily pulling out his wand, he pointed it at the rag and said, “Tergeo.”
The wand siphoned off most of the grease. Looking rather pleased with himself, Ron handed the slightly smoking handkerchief to Hermione.

Buffy, Xander, Willow, Reptile Boy

Xander:  Is she dying?

Buffy:  I think she’s singing.

Xander:  To a telephone in Hindi. Now that’s entertainment! Why is she singing?

Willow:  She’s sad because her lover gave her twelve gold coins, but then the wizard cut open the bag of salt, and now the dancing minions have nowhere to put their big maypole… fish thing.

Xander:  Uh-huh. Why is she singing?

Buffy:  Her lover? I thought that was her chiropractor.

Willow:  Because of that thing he did with her feet? No, that was personal.

Xander:  Hmm. And we thought just because we didn’t have any money or anyplace to go this would be a lackluster evening.

Willow:  I know! We could go to the Bronze and sneak in our own tea bags and ask for hot water.

Xander:  Hop off the outlaw train, Will, before you land us all in jail.

Buffy:  I, for one, am giddy and up. There’s a kinda hush all over Sunnydale. No demons or vampires to slay, I’m here with my friends… So, how does the water buffalo fit in again?

Jack Aubrey and his neighbour in the rusty black coat stood up at the same time, and they looked at one another: Jack let his face return to its expression of cold dislike — the dying remnants of his artificial rapture were peculiarly disagreeable, as they faded — and in a low voice he said, ‘My name is Aubrey, sir: I am staying at the Crown.’
‘Mine, sir, is Maturin. I am to be found any morning at Joselito’s coffee-house. May I beg you to stand aside?’
For a moment Jack felt the strongest inclination to snatch up his little gilt chair and beat the white-faced man down with it; but he gave way with a tolerable show of civility.

“Why?” exclaimed Ron, slamming his spoon down and glaring at his mother. “Why does my room have to be cleaned out? Harry and I are fine with it the way it is!”
“We are holding your brother’s wedding here in a few days’ time, young man —”
“And are they getting married in my bedroom?” asked Ron furiously. “No! So why in the name of Merlin’s saggy left —”
“Don’t talk to your mother like that,” said Mr. Weasley firmly.

Oz:  Who is that girl?

AUTHOR’S NOTE:
When one is writing about the Royal Navy of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries it is difficult to avoid understatement; it is difficult to do full justice to one’s subject; for so very often the improbable reality outruns fiction. Even an uncommonly warm and industrious imagination could scarcely produce the frail shape of Commodore Nelson leaping from his battered seventy-four-gun Captain through the quarter-gallery window of the eighty-gun San Nicolas, taking her, and hurrying across her deck to board the towering San Josef of a hundred and twelve guns, so that ‘on the deck of a Spanish first-rate, extravagant as the story may seem, did I receive the swords of the vanquished Spaniards; which, as I received, I gave to William Fearney, one of my bargemen, who put them, with the greatest sang-froid, under his arm’.

Julian Bashir: What are you eating?

Miles O’Brien: I’m not eating; I’m chewing.

Julian Bashir: Chewing what?

Miles O’Brien: Gum. It’s traditional. I had the replicator create me some.

Julian Bashir: They just chewed it?

Miles O’Brien: No, they infused it with flavor.

Julian Bashir: What did you infuse it with?

Miles O’Brien: Scotch.

“Ron was great,” said Tonks warmly, relinquishing her hold on Lupin. “Wonderful. Stunned one of the Death Eaters, straight to the head, and when you’re aiming at a moving target from a flying broom —”
“You did?” said Hermione, gazing at Ron with her arms still around his neck.
“Always the tone of surprise,” he said a little grumpily, breaking free.

Buffy:  Come on! Can’t you put your foot down?

Giles:  It is down.
