'Thoughts'

Parseltongue

(With Mrs. Figg)

It was nine in the morning when someone knocked on her door. She was quick to answer it. To her surprise it was Albus Dumbledore.

"Good morning Arabella." He greeted.

"Good morning Albus." She greeted back.

She stepped to the side and let him in. He sat down on the couch and she made tea. He took a sip before talking.

"Last night Voldemort was defeated." He said.

The woman was shocked. "What?"

"Last night Sirius Black betrayed his friends. He gave Voldemort their location. He went there and attacked. He killed James and Lily." He looked down in sadness. "Their one year old son defeated him."

"W-wow." She gasped out.

"Indeed." He said.

"Poor boy." She said.

"I know. I don't believe Voldemort died. I think he has been stopped for now. Death Eaters will be after him and grateful witches and wizards will be all over him. For his safety I placed him with his muggle relatives." He told her.

"Good idea." She said.

Not many witches and wizards could navigate in the muggle world. Not only would most not look for him there those who do won't know how to. She worried though because she knew that some muggles harmed those with magic. They feared it and lashed out.

"Thank you. I have a favor to ask." He said.

"Oh?" The squib looked at him.

"I was hoping you could move into the house across the street and keep an eye out." He said.

"Of course I will." It made her feel better to know that if they did try to hurt him she could tell Albus and he would put a stop to it.

"Thank you." The wizard said.

"You're welcome." Arabella smiled at him.

They finished their tea before he left. Arabella packed up her things. It wasn't long until she bought the house across from the Dursleys. She then moved.
