Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

• Harry: "Been having a nice little chat with her about whether or not I'm a lying, attention-seeking prat, have you?" Harry said loudly.
  "No," said Hermione calmly, "I told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would ge quite a nice if you stopped jumping down Ron's and my throats, Harry, because if you haven't noticed, we're on your side."
