How can I use figure in a sentence?
Neville thought Harry had a bad case of exam nerves because Harry could not sleep, but the truth was that Harry kept being woken by his old nightmare, except that it was now worse than ever because there was a hooded figure dripping blood in it.
The cloaked figure reached the unicorn, lowered its head over the wound in the animal's side, and began to drink its blood.
The hooded figure raised its head and looked right at Harry — unicorn blood was dribbling down its front.
He heard hooves behind him, galloping, and something jumped clean over Harry, charging at the figure.
Then, out of the shadows, a hooded figure came crawling across the ground like some stalking beast.
