It was all dark on Privet Drive, where normal people with normal families lived. However, if anyone that lived on Privet Drive were to look out their window, they would notice an old man wearing what looked like an elogant bathrobe walking down their street. This man's long beard, fiery blue eyes, and choice of clothing were definitely unique, and one would wonder why this man was wondering down their street in the middle of the night, wearing this costume.
But, this man was no ordinary man. This man was Albus Dumbledore, and he was headmaster of the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, Hogwarts. Just as he had done last time he stood on Privet Drive, he took out what looked like a cigarette lighter, and pointed it at each street light. One by one, the lights flickered out, and Privet Drive was smothered in black darkness. The only hint of light was coming from two pairs of gleaming eyes, belonging to two cats stalking down the street together. Dumbledore muttered lumos, and a sphere of light shined from the tip of his wand.
The two cats looked at one another for a moment, and then slowl changed into two women. The first, who in cat form was a greyish-black color, with marking around its eyes, had transformed into Professor McGonagall, a tall stern woman who wore glasses, and was Deputy Headmistress at Hogwarts. The second cat, a golden orage, had transformed into an old woman as well, but one that seemed the opposite of McGonagall.
This woman was Arabella Figg. It was strange, becuase she was of course far from normal, and she actually lived on Privet Drive! She was forced to act as a muggle (non magical person), for she was a witch, and she would disrupt the normalness of Privet Drive if any of the nosey neighbors were to find out the truth about her.
"Hello Albus, it has been a while since I've seen you in person" said Arabella, who had a gentle voice.
"Yes, so it has, and I find it depressing that the purpose of our meeting is because of reasons such as the ones we face today." said Dumbledore, whose voice, like his eyes, was serious, yet calming at the same time.
"Albus, you are right. During these had times, its important for us to realize who is truly at risk. You know as well as I that we are doing our best to protect the people who are in danger; those who are not of pure blood, and those who defied the Dark Lord long ago." she continued, with a soft sadness in her eyes. "I'm still confident that we can protect the boy, his friends, and the other students. But don't you think its time he knew who I really am?"
"Arabella, do you really think that he is ready for this? He's dealt with alarming news in the past, I know, but I feel that this might be too much. After what's happened at the end of last year's term, I only hope that he isn't waking up from sleep right now, with visions of You-Know-Who and such." McGonagall said, who had so far been listening intently. Although she looked strict, and unforgiving, McGonagall cared a great deal about her students, especially those from her house, Gryffindor.
"Minerva, like you said, he is very good at handling shocking news. He was raised without any knowledge as to who he truly is, and you see how in the past four years, he's dealt with extreme situations that most advanced wizards have not. Now, if you don't believe that a 15 year old boy who has 3 times beaten a dark lord so powerful that fully grown wizards don't dare speak his name, even at a time when he was proven inches from death, then I believe your losing your nerve, Minerva." said Dumbledore, who smiled at the slightly shocked look on McGonagall's face. She knew that in the end, Dumbledore would be right.
Suddenly, from out of no where, another animal creeped its way towards Dumbledore's side, and was morphing into it's true form.
