As soon as Tonks finished lunch, she sped off ti the library before Bill could follow her. She sat in the corner smiling to herself.
"Hello Nymphadora." said Bill coming out from behind a bookcase.
"DON'T CALL ME NYMPHADORA!" cried Tonks.
"Shush!" hissed Madam Pince, glaring at her.
"So what do you like to be called then?" asked Bill, lowering his voice.
"Just Tonks." replied Tonks.
"Fair enough" said Bill, "Hello Tonks."
"Hello Bill." replied Tonks. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"is that a smile I can detect?" asked Bill, smiling at scowled at him. Why was it people who you wanted to be annoyed at always make you smile?
"I knew I'd get through to you" smiled Bill, "So what are you doing?"
"Charms homework" replied Tonks bitterly, "Professor Rigby gives us far to much."
"Yeah.. what ever happened to Professor Flitwick?" sighed Bill, "Still Rigby's a nice looking bloke."
Tonks raised her eyebrows at him.
"Are you gay?" she asked. It had sounded ruder than she had intended.
"Nope, just observant" said Bill, winking at her, "So you're not crushing on Rigby like most of the girls?"
"The only crushing involving him would be me crushing his head" muttered Tonks savagely.
"Steady on." said Bill, in a more serious tone, "This is a teacher you're talking about."
"Well he's not a very good teacher!" retorted Tonks, "I don't remember threats and violence being on the curriculum!"
"What are you talking about?" asked Bill.
"If you bloody cared you'd bother to find out!" screamed Tonks. Aware that everyone was staring and the vein in Madam Pince's forehead was reaching horrific size, Bill grabbed Tonks by the arm and lead her out. Tonks pushed his arm away, sobbing.
"Just leave me alone!" she cried, "I don't need you! Just go!"
Tonks staggered off in one direction. Bill went after her.
"Are you drunk?" he asked.
"I- I don't know" moaned Tonks, collapsing to the ground. Professor Snape walked past.
"What's going on?" he asked coldly.
"Sir, it's Tonks, she's collapsed and gone all weird."
"Are you sure she has not been binge drinking?" asked Snape, surveying Tonks. Bill shook his head, "Follow me then."
Snape walked away from the crowds. Bill supported Tonks and followed him into his office.
"What sort of weird has occurred?" asked Snape, examining Tonks after Bill had sat her down.
"She's been angry and upset. Then it was like all the energy just drained from her." explained Bill. Snape sighed.
"Vicissitude Solution." he told Bill, "Causes sudden changes in the personality, thus using all the energy and resulting in death."
Bill's eyes widened.
"Is there an antidote?" he asked quickly. Snape nodded. He went into a desk draw and rummaged around. He pulled out a small bottle. Snape went back over to Tonks. He uncorked the bottle and tipped the violet coloured liquid into Tonks' mouth. She coughed and opened her eyes.
"Ugh! That tastes like goblin piss!" exclaimed Tonks, she saw Snape, "Sorry Professor…"
"Well I think we can safely say she is back to normal." said Snape. Bill and Tonks thanked him and left the office.
"What were you saying before about threats and violence?" asked Bill, as they walked along the corridor.
"Nothing." mumbled Tonks continuing to walk on.
"Tell me." insisted Bill firmly. Tonks stopped and sighed.
"Rigby called me a bitch and kicked me. It's nothing, I told you." Tonks replied. She turned round. Bill was looking shocked.
"I'm sure it was just because I was being rude to him." Tonks added quickly, not even fooling herself. Bill wasn't convinced either. He ran back to the library. Professor Rigby walked past.
"Nymphadora, your shirt is untucked and after this morning's performance, detention tonight. 5 o'clock." he smirked. Tonks felt like punching him. Sandy walking past with a smug look on her ugly face didn't help. Glancing up at the clock, it was half past four. What did Rigby have against her?
