Chapter 1 Part B The Boy Who Lived

The Cat Sits on the Wall for a Long Time Like a Statue. It Does Not Move. It Does Not Look in Any Direction, Except Towards the Corner of the Street at the End of Privet Drive.

Finally, Very Late at Night, A Man Appears on the Corner. He Appears Suddenly and Silently. The Cat Sees Him, And Its Tail Begins to Move From Side to Side Slowly.

The Man is Tall, Thin, and Very Old. His Hair and Beard are Long and the Color of Silver. He is Wearing Long Robes and a Purple Cloak.

His Eyes are Bright Blue behind His Glasses, Which are Sitting on His Long and Crooked Nose. His Name is Albus Dumbledore.

The Old Man Looks Towards the Dursley's House and Laughs when He Sees the Cat. "Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! I should have known," he says.

He Reaches into His Pocket and Takes out a Device that Looks Like a Cigarette Lighter. He Holds It up in the Air and Clicks It. The Streetlight Closest to Him Goes Out with a Little Pop Sound.

He Clicks the Device Again and Another Streetlight Pops Out. He Clicks the Device Twelve Times. The Only Lights that Remain are the Two Small Lights of the Cat's Eyes.

Dumbledore Puts the Device Back into His Pocket and Walks Towards the House. He Sits Down Next to the Cat. Then He Speaks, "Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall."

He Turns to Look at the Cat, but the Cat is Not There. Instead, There is a Woman There. She Has on Glasses and She is Wearing a Green Cloak, Too.
