100 FOURTH AID BOX

" Mrs Figg spoke to a four-year-old Harry Potter when he was left with her, "how would you like to learn play-acting?"

Harry shrugged, the things he did with Mrs Figg were never particular fun, but still better than the things he did with the Dursleys, so while he wasn't exactly enthusiastic, he also wasn't about to be difficult about it.

Mrs Figg, seeing his half-hearted response for what it was, explained, "I want to help you against your aunt and uncle. But they can't find out, so you have to learn to observe how you act, especially when I am mentioned. Can you do that for me?"

Harry nodded, and Mrs Figg smiled encouragingly.

The next time Harry was dropped off at Mrs Figg's, she asked, "did you do what I asked last time?"

"You mean to note how I act when Aunt Petunia tells me she's going to leave me with you?"

"Exactly."
