Who's Kreacher? The house-elf who lives here, said Ron. Nutter. Never met one like him. He is not a nutter, said Hermione. His life's ambition is to have his head cut off and stuck up on a plaque like his mother, said Ron. Is that normal, Hermione?

Assuming I survive our hunt for the Horcruxes, I’ll find Mum and Dad and lift the enchantment. If I don’t – well, I think I’ve cast a good enough charm to keep them safe and happy. Wendell and Monica Wilkins don’t know that they’ve got a daughter, you see.

Well, wouldn't it have been easier if she'd just asked me whether I liked her better than you? Girls don't often ask questions like that, said Hermione. Well, they should! said Harry forcefully.
