A/N: Thanks for the reviews, everyone! Glad you're enjoying it. This chapter will be pretty short, but hopefully fun. Also, there will be at most one or two more chapters after this one unless I get some seriously funny inspiration. But fear not! Hopefully I'll be starting another fic as soon as this one is finished. Anyway, enjoy!

Tonks slowly inched her way along a corridor on the top floor of the Black mansion. Her back was pressed up against the wall and her pistol was at the ready. She felt like a secret agent. It was pretty cool. She hardly made a sound and was suddenly very thankful for all those years of Auror training. 'Now if only I could be this sneaky while actually on the job...' she thought.

From around the next corner, the floorboards made a light creaking sound. Tonks froze and listened. Slowly, she made her way to the corner and waited. The floorboards creaked again, closer this time. Someone was there. Could it be a Ninja? She wondered. 'Only one way to find out...' Tonks jumped out from behind the corner, yelled "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" and fired at a very startled...Crookshanks. The cat yelped and ran down the hallway, his masses of fluffy (and now wet) fur standing completely on end. "Oops," said Tonks, shrugging.

"Wow, you spend way too much time around Moody," came an amused voice from behind her. Tonks let out a scream, turned around and fired blindly down the hallway. A jet of water hit a vase that was perched on the edge of a table, causing it to fall off and break with a loud CRASH! Harry laughed as the shock faded from Tonks' face.

"Bloody hell, Harry!" she said, slightly exasperated. "Giving the Captain a heart attack is a bad idea. Unless, of course, you've converted to the Ninja side, in which case I'll have to kill you."

Harry raised his arms in defense "No! I'm sorry, Tonks!" He was still laughing, which didn't make Tonks feel any better.

"What are you doing here anyway?" she said, a touch of edge to her voice. "Shouldn't you be going after Sirius with Bill?"

"I was!" he said. "But...well..."

Tonks suddenly became concerned at the downtrodden look on his face. "But what? Harry, what happened?" Harry sank to the floor, holding his knees to his chest. Tonks sat down beside him. "What happened?" she asked again.

Harry took a breath. "Bill...Bill's been captured." He buried his head in his hands. "It was horrible, Tonks! They had us surrounded! And Sirius... he almost got me too. He's bloody lethal, I tell you! I-I just barely escaped with my life..."

Tonks was crestfallen. First Ginny, now Bill? Did they even stand a chance anymore? "On the good side, though," said Harry, looking up, "Dumbledore's on our team now."

Tonks' heart rose at the news. "Dumbledore?! Where did he get here?"

"Not long ago, apparently. Fred just brought him to base a few minutes ago." He smiled. "Apparently the Ninjas got stuck with McGonagall."

Tonks laughed. This was good news. Maybe they did stand a chance after all. Suddenly, Tonks had an idea. "Forget Sirius," she said. "Find McGonagall. No, better yet...find Crookshanks." There was a mischievous grin upon her face. Harry had an idea of what she was up to, and boy, did he like it.

A/N: Again, apologies for the shortness. The next chapter is going to be fun, if not slightly disturbing. Mwahahahaha!
