21. Smuggler

Arabella had always hated her name.

She had actually always preferred 'Isabella' which meant 'beautiful'. But Isabella would never have suited her as Arabella was not beautiful.

She had a bit of a complex about that actually, so she had decided to make dull things beautiful.

When she was proclaimed a Squib to the magical community, she just had thought to herself Fine, it'll just be a little harder.

But, she couldn't completely let go of the magical community, so she became a Squib-pretending-to-be-a-muggle, to watch over Harry Potter.

Over the seventeen years she had been there, she had watched the little boy grow into a man, and had silently congratulated herself when he got away from Privet Drive safely for the last time, as Arabella Figg was a smuggler.

Not a Squib.

Not a Muggle.

The protector of Precious and Beautiful things.
