The ferry will dock with Rhapsody on-board or Saturday, whichever comes first.  :)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=39842.msg2029442#msg2029442">Quote from: Risa on 08-07-2009, 20:16:22</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">In response to this, Dumbledore orders Sirius to "contact Remus Lupin, Arabella Figg (Harry's batty neighbor with the many cats), Mundungus Fletcher, the old crowd". Why then, if Harry was awake during the argument between Dumbledore and Fudge, did Harry act surprised that Ms. Figg knew Dumbledore at the beginning of the 5th book, when he ordered Sirius to make contact with him?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Since Rowling's pretty good at mapping things out, I always figured he was just zoning.  Afterall, Harry'd just fought his way through the challenge maze, watched Voldemort return, fought for his life against V., watched Cedric's murder, portkey-ed back to Hogwarts, been captured and almost killed by Barty Crouch Jr, watched Dumbledore stun B.C. Jr, watched who he thought was trusted Moody turn into villain B.C. Jr., and got hustled up to the hospital wing.  He's done pretty well for himself, if he misses a name or two after all that, who's going to notice?  Any two or three of those things may send most people temporarily catatonic.  :)  Even after hearing the name, he'd have to connect Arabella Figg to dotty old Mrs. Figg down the lane, which might not happen anyway (seeing as Harry's often a bit slow on the uptake with those sorts of things).<br/><br/>At least, that's what eventually went through my head.
