"I am sorry to hear you're under the weather," said Hermione, talking firmly over the little wizard as he tried to expound upon his problems; it was essential to stop him  reaching the street.
"here, have a sweet."
"Eh? Oh. no thanks --"
"I insist!" said Hermione aggressively, shaking the bags of pastilles in his face. Looking rather alarmed, the little wizard took one.
The effect was instantaneous. The moment the pastille touched his tongue, the little wizard started vomiting so hard that he did not notice as Hermione yanked a handful of hairs from the top of his head.
"Oh dear! she said, as he splattered the alley with sick. "Perhaps you'd better take the day off!"
"No - no!" He choked and retched, trying to continue on his way despite being unable to walk straight. "I must- today- must go-"
But that's just silly!" said Hermione, alarmed. "You can't go to work in this state - I think you ought to go to St. Mungo's and get them to sort you out!"
The wizard had collapsed, heaving, on all fours, strill trying to crawl towards the main street.
"You simply can't go to work like this!" cried Hermione.
At last he seemed to  accept the truth of her words. Using a repulsed Hermione to claw his way back into a standing position, he turned on the spot and vanished, leaving nothing behind but the bag Ron had snatched from his hand as he went, and some flying chunks of vomit" 
"Urgh," said Hermione, holding up the skirts of her robe to avoid the puddles of sick, "it would have made much less mess to Stun him too".

Alla:
 I cut Ron's response because it is just way too much to type as it is, but no kidding Hermione, huh?

Yes, much less mess and less suffering for poor man as well.

You see, when our good characters do staff like this THAT annoys the hell out of me, much more than say Hermione putting that curse on whoever will betray DA or Harry's Crucio. That's because I am tolerant in the fiction land to the characters reacting to provocation or doing staff which I feel is in essense self defense, you know, no matter how out of proportion it may feel for real life? (IMO of course).

But here? Hermione dear just made the person violently sick by force feeding him candy he wanted no part of (HA, good sense he has), of course with Ron and Harry's approval, do not think that I am letting them off the hook here, they discussed the plan together. The person did nothing to them except having a misfortune to be somebody they decided to impersonate. And when this poor guy leans on Hermione she has a nerve  to look repulsed when she made him so sick in the first place. Ugh, very big slap Hermione moment for me, and slap Harry and Ron too of course.

"We have to flush ourselves in?" he whispered.
"Looks like it," Harry whispered back, his voice came out deep and gravelly.
They both stood up. Feeling exceptionally foolish, Harry clambered into the toilet" - p.198

Alla:

I find this moment to be hilarious and brilliant bit of political satire.
