The next day after classes had finished, Harry decided to head straight to his room, not really in the mood to do anything. Hermione had been avoiding him all day, likely due to their conversation yesterday, something that annoyed Harry a lot. Harry could admit that it was very irritating when Hermione always went off on him for keeping something secret from her when she was fine doing it against him, she would even huff and complain if he ever told her to wait. Harry recalled how last year Hermione had guessed that the basilisk was attacking students from the Hogwarts pipes but didn't tell Harry and Ron, instead she decided to rush off to the library to confirm her theory first. As far as Harry was concerned, it would have been a lot better if she had told them her theory first and then went off to the library, that way they could've gone with her to help her check and maybe they could've helped her avoid getting caught by the basilisk.
'Or maybe you all would've gotten caught by the basilisk.' Venom thought.
'Shut up,' Harry thought back in a tired voice as he walked to the common room on his own, Ron not being with him thanks to getting detention with the 'loveable' bat of Slytherin, Snape. Harry walked at a calm pace, alone in his own thoughts as the corridor was empty at the moment, though he stopped a second later when his enhanced hearing allowed him to hear someone say something rather interesting.
"It's a shame about Tonks." One voice said.
"I know, do you think she'll be okay?" Another voice asked. Harry walked ahead and peeked around the corner and saw a couple of aurors talking with each other. One of the aurors was female while the other was male.
"I hope so," The male auror replied. "I hope the high-ups don't give her a hard time about it as well."
"They might," The female frowned. "do you think this will mess up her chance of graduating to a proper auror?"
"Well, it won't help matters," The male auror sighed. "I mean, getting kidnapped doesn't look good for an auror."
"What?!" Harry hissed before he ran around the corner and rushed towards the two aurors. "Excuse me," He called as he quickly stopped in front of the aurors. "did you guys say Tonks has been kidnapped?!"
"What's it to you?" The male auror frowned before the female spoke up.
"Holy quidditch, it's Harry Potter!" She blurted out, recognising his scar, a moment later the male auror also stared at him with wide eyes.
"Look, Tonks is my friend, and I want to know what happened to her!" Harry said impatiently, he was definitely not in the mood for adults over-reacting to his scar and treating him like a celebrity. The two aurors exchanged looks before they turned to Harry.
"She was kidnapped," The female auror said in a soft voice. "during a walk around Diagon Alley, last we heard she had been taken into Knockturn Alley."
'Tonks is in danger!' Venom yelled, sounding quite distressed.
"But I wouldn't worry," The male auror said in a reassuring voice. "the aurors will get her out."
"Yeah, exactly," The female smiled. "now, you should run along, don't worry about Tonks. She'll be perfectly safe."
'I doubt it.' Venom snorted while Harry dumbly nodded and walked off.
'Do you think that Tonks will be safe?' Harry mentally asked Venom.
'No,' Venom answered bluntly. 'we should go and help her.'
