  He found what he was looking for in his inside pocket. It seemed to be a silver cigarette lighter 1. He flicked 2 it open, held it up in the air, and clicked it. The nearest street lamp went out with a little pop. He clicked it again -- the next lamp flickered 3 into darkness. Twelve times he clicked the Put-Outer, until the only lights left on the whole street were two tiny pinpricks in the distance, which were the eyes of the cat watching him. If anyone looked out of their window now, even beady-eyed Mrs. Dursley, they wouldn't be able to see anything that was happening down on the pavement. Dumbledore slipped the Put-Outer back inside his cloak and set off down the street toward number four, where he sat down on the wall next to the cat. He didn't look at it, but after a moment he spoke 4 to it.
  "Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall."
  He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn 5 into a tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled.
  "How did you know it was me?" she asked.
  "My dear Professor, I 've never seen a cat sit so stiffly."
  "You'd be stiff if you'd been sitting on a brick wall all day,"said Professor McGonagall.
  "All day? When you could have been celebrating? I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here."
