A.N. — Here's another guy that seems to be continuing an unconscious trend I'm on this week: characters whose names start with M. Another one's coming tomorrow, too.

163. Mundungus Fletcher

Mundungus hated his first name almost as much as Nymphadora. 'Course, he lived up to his 'Dung' moniker; Tonks was not a nymph.

Fletcher hadn't paid much attention in school, and he was paying for it now. Petty thievery and back-alley bartering were the only profitable options left to him that didn't involve scouring or shoveling shit. And if those dirty dealings gave him underworld ins that the Order of the Phoenix found useful, then he'd tightly grasp onto that lifeline.

It was merely a fortuitous bonus that the group of formidable Light-siders protected Dung from his enemies and accomplices.
