Tonks spent the next half an hour making sure that everything about her was immaculate, so Rigby couldn't pick on anything. She also put her wand in her pocket. She had a feeling she might need it. She set off to Professor Rigby's classroom at a brisk pace. She arrived on the dot. Tonks sat down at one of the desks. Rigby got up and went over to her, leaning on the desk in front of Tonks.
"Do you know why you are here?" asked Rigby.
"No. I do not." replied Tonks. Rigby's brown eyes were boring into the back of her skull.
Bill searched through some of the Prophet articles kept in the library. They where about Death Eaters. There were a few containing a man by the name of Dragmor Rennison. Bill found one mentioning that his two sisters, still in their teens, had been killed by Order members, as they too had been Death Eaters. He was quoted saying he would seek revenge and then disappeared, no one had seen him since. There was a picture, it was in black and white, so hard to decipher, but it looked like…
Bill got out some birth records and continued searching.
"You are here because of your bad behaviour." Rigby said calmly.
"Am I? It seems there is something more-" began Tonks. Rigby slapped her across the face.
"For once in your life, shut your bloody mouth and listen!" he snapped, "You're also here because of something your parents did, or rather, their associates did."
"I don't understand." said Tonks, feeling her red cheek.
There was a birth record for Dragmor Rennison, but there was no record in that year for John Rigby, though they must've been about the same age. Looking at some more recent Daily Prophets, there was the article about Andrea, the girl who had been killed in Hogsmeade not so long ago. That was on the day where Professor Rigby missed a whole day, not just the odd evening, as usual. Bill thought hard.
"The Order of the Phoenix killed two people very dear to me. They were not much older than you." explained Rigby, "I'm not really called John Rigby, my name is Dragmor Rennison. I swore revenge to kill two family members of the people who killed two of mine."
"Why are you telling me this?" asked Tonks, but she knew the answer before she was told it.
"Because you have a right to know." Rigby said, "Andrea had that right after all."
Bill went outside the library, thinking. He was trying to fit all these things together. Bill bashed into something. Clutching his toe, he saw it was a suitcase. With Rigby's name on the front. But engraved on the side where the initials, DR. Dragmor Rennison. So this could mean Rigby was trying to kill two teenage girls connected to the Order of the Phoenix. He'd succeeded with one and as for the other one… Tonks. Hoping his horrible suspicion was false he began to run. Where was Tonks? He spotted a girl who looked about Tonks' age and went over to her.
"Where's Tonks?" he asked the girl.
"Why should I care?"laughed Sandy, but her smile faded when she saw the look on Bill's face, "Okay, she's in detention with Professor Rigby!"
Bill's eyes widened.
"Oh bollocks!" he exclaimed loudly. He sped off.
"Swearing loses points for houses you know!" Sandy called after him.
Tonks swallowed.
"So you're going to kill me?" she said, although a thought suddenly occurred to her, "You were the one who spiked me with that stuff, weren't you?"
"Yes. And yes." Rigby smiled. He got out his wand, but Tonks was quicker.
"Expelliarmus!" she cried, getting up and stumbling to the door. Rigby picked himself up, wandless, and ran after her. He was quicker and Tonks was still fumbling with the lock. He grabbed her by her hair and threw her aside, into the wall. He stood in front of her, so Tonks was completely in his shadow.
"Why do you always make things so complicated for yourself?" growled Rigby. Tonks tried to kick him, but he grabbed her ankle. Tonks racked her brains for what to do.
"HELP!" she screamed as loudly as she could. Rigby pressed a hand over her mouth and fumbled around on the floor for a wand.
"Silenco!" he cried, pointing Tonks' wand at her. Tonks opened her mouth. No words came out. She was cornered and about to be killed by her own wand. She looked at Rigby with pleading eyes.
"Where's Bill now?" he asked, ignoring her silent pleas and raising the wand above his head.
