Chapter 14: Fig or Figg?
"Fig? Harry, we just ate! You can't still be hungry. That's Ron job," Hermione commented and Ron shot her a nasty look.
"No! That's her name, Professor Figg," Harry corrected her.
"That name seems familiar. Where have I heard it before?" Ron thought out loud.
"She's my neighbour at the Dursley's house. Mrs. Figg is the one who has lots of cats and smells like cabbages," Harry explained thoroughly.
"Okay, but isn't she a squib, Harry?" Hermione puzzled.
"Yeah.listen," Harry put a finger to his lips and started watching Dumbledore intently.
".Professor Figg came on short notice, and we are all very appreciative of that. So, once more, we all thank you!" Dumbledore finished and clapped his hands. The students and staff followed his lead. Professor Figg flushed and her cheeks formed roses as she sat down.
"What were listening for?" Ron whispered to Harry.
"I wanted to know why she got the job when she's a squib and can't perform magic properly and.and.this doesn't make sense!" Harry replied, frustrated. He ruffled his hair briskly with his fingers. "When do have Defense Against the Dark Arts again?"
"Hold on, I'll check," Hermione pulled out her neat timetable and examined it carefully before responding, "Second period today, 10:00am. Why?"
"You don't plan on asking her do you?" Ron questioned suspiciously.
"Maybe," Harry said.
RING! RING! RING! The bell echoed through the sunlit corridors signaling the end of first period. For Harry and Ron they finished Divinition, and for Hermione, Arithmancy.
The three met at their next class with confidence flowing in their veins. They headed into the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The classroom changed very little from yesterday, so they had no trouble adjusting to the environment. The only difference was that the room smelled strongly of cabbages.
They persisted to the back table and waited for the class to commence.
"Hermione, while we're waiting, do you want to tell us why you weren't around and why you went to visit Malfoy?" Ron asked her. Hermione almost laughed. It really wasn't that big a deal, but she thought it was because she was mad at them.
"Well, I wasn't around because I was trying to finish homework, because with my Head duties, I need to use my time efficiently," Hermione stated simply.
"And you visited Malfoy because.?" Harry rotated his hands in the air, urging Hermione to continue.
"You told me to watch him didn't you? I was just going to ask him why he didn't arrive at the detention earlier, and who attacked him," Hermione looked disgusted, "However, it didn't get me too far."
"I hope he's not suspicious," Harry breathed.
Hermione didn't respond, but picked up a book called, "Preparing For Your N.E.W.T's". She looked very interested in the book, but put it down as soon as Professor Figg walked to the front of the class. The students quieted down.
"Good morning, everyone!" she said cheerfully, "As you may already know, I am your replacement Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Before we begin the class, would anyone like to ask me any questions?"
Neville raised his shaking hand slowly.
"Yes?" Professor Figg said gently.
"Umm.will you be here for.umm.the rest of the year?" he stammered.
"Yes, I will. Are there anymore questions?" she scanned the class carefully, "Good. Let's begin! Today we will be finishing the chapter about curses, and you will be doing an assignment reflecting upon what you have learned. To provoke you, you may work with your group to discuss the main topics in the chapter. When you're finished, you may start your assignment," Professor Figg sat down at her desk, and began correcting some work from the previous class.
Harry stared at her and she stared back. He broke the eye contact and looked at Hermione and Ron. "So, Harry, why didn't you ask her just now?" Ron asked.
"Oh, I don't know Ron. Maybe he doesn't want everyone to know that she's a squib?" Hermione said sarcastically.
"Sshh!" Harry hushed his friends, "Look, I'm going to ask her at the end of the period when-"
Professor Figg trudged by their table and listened to their conversation before speaking herself.
"Oh, Harry! I would like a word with you after class. Is that alright?" she looked eagerly at him, so he nodded his head. Hermione could tell that they both felt uncomfortable around each other.
"What do you think she wants?" Ron followed the Professor with his eyes.
"I don't know. She probably wants the same thing I do," Harry replied.
The bell sounded once more, and several students emerged from their seats.
"Wait!" Professor Figg ordered, "Please have your final submission into me by next class!"
Everyone jogged out the door except for Harry, Ron and Hermione. They were left alone in the classroom with Professor Figg.
"You two don't have to stay," the Professor pointed to Ron and Hermione.
"What ever you tell me, I am going to tell them anyway. They might as well stay to hear it for themselves," Harry didn't mean to sound rude, but he did.
"Very well. I think I should begin here," Professor Figg cleared her throat, preparing them for a speech.
