“Mrs. Who? Dumbledore? What are you going on about, <strong>Harry</strong>?”“Mrs. Figg. That’s where Draco’s staying. She was his nanny when he was small <strong>and</strong> also mybabysitter when Uncle Vernon <strong>and</strong> Aunt Petunia wanted to do something nice with Dudley<strong>and</strong> didn’t want me around. She’s really a witch, <strong>and</strong> she’s going to be <strong>the</strong> new DefenseAgainst <strong>the</strong> Dark Arts teacher in September. She’s also Mad-Eye Moody’s little sister.”She didn’t take her eye off <strong>the</strong> road as he told her all this, but said dryly, “You’re not serious.”“Completely. Turn left here instead of right.”She followed his directions <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>y were soon at Mrs. Figg’s house. When <strong>the</strong>y reached <strong>the</strong>door, <strong>Harry</strong> rang <strong>the</strong> bell, hoping somehow that Draco would be <strong>the</strong> one to answer.Unfortunately, it was Mrs. Figg.“<strong>Harry</strong>! What <strong>the</strong> hell--<strong>and</strong> who’s this?”Katie swallowed, <strong>the</strong> look on her face making it clear that she was very glad to be out ofschool, with no danger of having Mrs. Figg for her teacher in September. <strong>Harry</strong> saw her steelherself as she thrust out her h<strong>and</strong>, saying in an only slightly-shaky voice, “Katie Bell.

Mrs. Figg immediately howled Draco’s name, making <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Katiewince (<strong>Harry</strong> fought <strong>the</strong> urge to cover his ears).“WHAT?” came <strong>the</strong> annoyed response from <strong>the</strong> second floor.“JUST GET YOUR ARSE DOWN HERE!” was Mrs. Figg’s answer. <strong>Harry</strong> glanced at Katie;he had become accustomed to this from having stayed in this house during <strong>the</strong> previoussummer, but he was a bit embarassed to have Katie witness <strong>the</strong> usual mode of communicationfor <strong>the</strong> Figg household: top-of-<strong>the</strong>-lungs bellowing.
