A/N - This is purely based on my thoughts, although alot of people may agree with the fact stated in the first sentence of this chapter, this is fiction.

Disclamer - You've heard this enough times, you're ready to rot...

But JK owns the characters and I own the plot!

WITCH!" "Oh my gosh, I can't belive it," Harry exclaimed.

"Yes its true," said Miss. Figg, "my name is Arabella Figg, you may have heard some people mention my name."

"Right after the Triwizard Tournament!" I remember exclaimed Harry, "but... why did they want to notify you so badly?"

"Well Harry here is the story : When you were born you were taken to live with your Aunt and Uncle. The main reason is so that you'd stay safe and that your parents were dead. Well, Dumbledore trusted your relatives, but still wanted to make sure you were safe. He asked me, to move into a house in your neighborhood, just to watch over you. It was my job to make sure you ended up going to Hogwarts. See, if I hadn't of been here to notify Dumbledore that you weren't recieving your letters, you'd be at some other school right now and wouldn't know you were a witch." Arabella explained

"But there are still some things I don't understand," Harry noted.

"Well tell me your questions and I'll try and answer them." Arabella Figg stated.

"Miss. Figg," Harry started to talk.

She interupted him and said, "Please call me Arabella, Harry."

"Ok, then Arabella, why did Dumbledore pick you to watch over me? I'm sure just about anybody would've been willing too."

"Great point Harry, but for one thing I was born and raised in a Muggle neighborhood. I knew how to act, so I wouldn't be considered odd."

"But that couldn't of been your full reason," Harry pointed out, "I mean lots of witches and wizards are muggle born."

"Ah, you are very observent, just like your father Harry, you remind me so much of him"

"You knew my father????" Harry questioned.

"Yes, very well indeed, I'll talk about that later. But let me get back to the subject. Where was I, oh yes, well, one reason Dumbledore picked me, besides the fact I was a very bright student, see, I am very advanced in the area of Poitins. By my third year at hogwarts, I could do Potions that 6th year students were strugling with. When I was in my 6th and 7th years, I was going to special classes. Professer Snape wasn't teaching the class at that time, just to let you know. I learned how to do very advanced potions. One of the hardest ones I ever learned was a potion that made no witch or wizard find where you were located. Basically, if you're trying to hide, you need to make this potion, but the thing is, it is very hard to find some of the ingrediants needed to make it. Dumbledore knew that I could make this so he sent you right by where I lived. Now have you noticed how this house smells like cabbage?"

"Yes," Harry said, still trying to take in all the information.

"Well, I'm sure you've never heard of this root before, but its called wormwood root. The tree that produces it is very rare, and I am lucky enough to have access to this ingrediant. Well, the thing is, it smells like cabbage, one good thing about this is that nobody will really suspect anything odd about my house since it smells like a normal ingrediant. Since I first saw you, I gave you just a little of that potion, have you ever wondered why Dumbledore felt you were very safe here?"

"Well..." Harry said, "I guess that has crossed my mind but that reason never did."

"Thats pretty understandable," Arabella said, "Do you have any more questions."

"Yes," Harry said, "I have a couple more. Why couldn't Dumbledore just give me the potion at Hogwarts, or let me stay with Sirius, that potion would really help him also."

"Voldemort already knows where Hogwarts is, he doesn't need to check any maps to see the location, and about Sirius, well, that would be very risky for you. If somebody ever bumped into him, he could be in alot of trouble, esepically if you were seen with him."

"I guess thats true," Harry added, "but why didn't you tell me that I was a wizard earlier."

A/N -Time to stop here and see what you think! Thanks for your nice comments, more to come later!
