She looked dubious. <strong>Harry</strong> didn’t want Draco Malfoy to be his babysitter until his ownbirthday rolled around. He’d never hear <strong>the</strong> end of it. Especially from Draco Malfoy himself.He changed <strong>the</strong> subject subtly.“Oh, <strong>the</strong>re’s ano<strong>the</strong>r thing. The real milkman was stunned <strong>and</strong> stuffed into <strong>the</strong> back of his van.I opened <strong>the</strong> door a bit, to give him some air, but someone will have to revive him <strong>and</strong> put amemory charm on him. And <strong>the</strong> police still think he’s <strong>the</strong> one who broke into <strong>the</strong> house, sowill that memory charm on <strong>the</strong> ambulance make <strong>the</strong>m forget that, so <strong>the</strong>y don’t give him anytrouble?”“It should. Oh, by <strong>the</strong> way--what were you thinking, leaving <strong>the</strong> house carrying your w<strong>and</strong>?”“What? I didn’t leave <strong>the</strong> house carrying my w<strong>and</strong>.”“Then how did you do <strong>the</strong> Disarming Charm?”He shrugged. “I did it with my h<strong>and</strong>.”She stopped <strong>and</strong> stared. “You did a Disarming Charm without a w<strong>and</strong>?” <strong>Harry</strong> remembereddoing this to Lucius Malfoy when he was seven, in his o<strong>the</strong>r life. He tried not to smile as heremembered <strong>the</strong> w<strong>and</strong> floating up around <strong>the</strong> ceiling of <strong>the</strong> study, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> furious expressionDraco’s fa<strong>the</strong>r wore.“Er, yeah. I didn’t really think about it, I just did it.” There was an awkward silence as Mrs.Figg regarded him with what seemed a great deal of suspicion. “Er--so someone will take careof <strong>the</strong> milkman, yeah? Revive him <strong>and</strong> make sure <strong>the</strong> police don’t come after him? Give hima nice Memory Charm so he doesn’t remember being stuffed in his van?”Mrs. Figg nodded. “I’m on it,” she said, draining her tea <strong>and</strong> rising. The dirty dishes flew into<strong>the</strong> sink <strong>and</strong> began to wash <strong>the</strong>mselves. She calmly walked out of <strong>the</strong> kitchen without sayinggoodbye, <strong>and</strong>, to <strong>Harry</strong>’s relief, without saying <strong>the</strong>y couldn’t go running.When she was gone, <strong>Harry</strong> said, “What’s <strong>the</strong> big deal? See how much w<strong>and</strong>less magic shedoes? Why’d she look at me that way when I said I hadn’t used a w<strong>and</strong> to disarm him?”Malfoy sighed, reminding <strong>Harry</strong> of Bert sighing over Scott. “<strong>Potter</strong>--I mean, <strong>Harry</strong>--making<strong>the</strong> dishes fly around <strong>and</strong> wash <strong>and</strong> organize <strong>the</strong>mselves is one thing. They were probablycharmed ahead of time <strong>and</strong> now <strong>the</strong>y do what she wants <strong>the</strong>m to do. And that thing where shetook away your mouth--easy trick, really. Disarming someone without a w<strong>and</strong> is somethingelse. That’s like--”“--being able to do <strong>the</strong> Animagus transfiguration?” <strong>Harry</strong> said, raising one eyebrow. Malfoygrimaced.“Yeah. Like that. I know, I know....”“Listen, you can probably do this kind of thing too, you just haven’t tried.”“You mean because of that Obedience Charm?”“Right. Maybe after your birthday you could find out more about what you can do.”22
