The-Clandestine-Agencies (VI) [Chapter 260]

Tonks simply opened and closed her mouth, unable to form any words. She never imagined that her boyfriend would be such a deviant, but the problem was that she couldn’t refute his claims. While she wasn’t as paranoid as Madeye, she was still paranoid enough. Madeye had managed to hammer quite a bit of paranoia into her.

“Well…better late than never…” Sirius trailed off with a straight face, but the lecherous glint in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.

Tonks threw him a disgusted look. “My mom was right, you are just a dog in heat” Tonks glared at him balefully, but he seemed to ignore her, but before he could follow through with his words, Harry decided to pour cold water on his dreams, much to Tonks’ glee.

“You had your chance, Sirius. Maybe, you should remember that the next time some woman tries to kidnap you” Harry stopped his Godfather with a smirk on his face. The older man went to protest, but his shoulders dropped in defeat before he finally decided to admit his defeat at the missed opportunity.

“By the way, Tonks, there was an incident” Harry revealed, making the woman frown. “Your dad was attacked by the same people, but you don’t have anything to worry about. He is currently in the infirmary” Harry revealed, and Tonks seemed to pale at his words.

“WHAT?! HOW?!” Tonks screamed, looking really outraged, angry, worried and relieved at the same time. Her eyes and her hair started to cycle through various colors due to her raging emotions.

“I believe he was attacked in his office or outside his office and for the time being I don’t know anything else. Maybe, I will be able to learn more when he wakes up, but we do have someone who we can interrogate” Harry finished and he glanced toward the woman tied in the chair.

“He isn’t hurt, is he?” Sirius asked, looking concerned and angry.

“No, he wasn’t as far as I know. They simply managed to knock him out with some sort of drugs before I whisked him away” Harry decided to lie a bit as neither Sirius nor Tonks needed to know the full truth.

Tonks stood still for the next few seconds, digesting everything Harry revealed before she finally started to fume, but she managed to reign in her anger. “Does my mum know?” Tonks asked.

“I believe that Healers must have informed her” Harry answered, making the woman nod her head in understanding before she glared at the woman strapped in the chair. Even for a moment, she didn’t blame Harry for the attack, instead, she decided to place the whole blame on the people who attacked her Dad.

“You are saying that she works for the same people who attacked my Dad?” Tonks asked with a restrained growl, earning a slow nod from Harry. “Then I want to stay while you interrogate her” Tonks said with a determined look on her face.

“...Alright” Harry agreed after a few moments of silence. To be honest, Harry wanted to get rid of Tonks since he didn’t want her to see his cruel and vicious side, but since she wanted to stay, she was in for a treat. Harry decided in for a knut, in for a Galleon. After all, he was dating Tonks, so she was eventually going to see all of his sides.

So, without wasting any more time, Harry decided to wake the woman. The woman woke up with a jerk, and her state of undress didn’t seem to bother her. She immediately started to struggle, but she froze dead in her tracks when her gaze landed on Harry. It was obvious that she knew who he was.

“Hello, miss… Brooks” Harry greeted the woman and the woman seemed to pale as she tried to slink away from him. “Did that surprise you? Learning your name wasn’t that hard. After all, conserving without names makes the interaction weird, for me at least” Harry started to babble with a smile on his face before Conjuring a chair for himself.

“You seem to already know who I am, but I didn’t know who you were” Harry said before he sat down. Then he turned around and gestured Tonks and Sirius to take a seat, but both of them shook their heads, opting to keep standing, so Harry simply shrugged before turning back toward the woman strapped in the chair.

“You see, there is a rare piece of Magic called Legilimency, you can think of it as mind reading” Harry revealed and the woman seemed to pale even more. “Now, Legilimency does come with its own downsides. Like it is very painful for the victim and if the user is not careful, then they could turn the victim’s mind into mush” Harry continued to explain with a soft smile on his face.

“Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about anything like that. I am quite good at it, so your brain won’t be turned into a mush but it is going to be painful. I can simply take a look inside that noggin of yours and we will be done, but where is the fun in that? You people attacked my family, there will be no easy way out” Harry’s smile turned vicious as he finished.

“You won't win” The woman spat, her voice dripping with venom.

Instead of getting angry, Harry simply smiled before grabbing her hand. Then he Conjured a big plastic mat right under himself and the woman. “You are beautiful… You have very beautiful hands” Harry commented gently. “Now, let’s start with something easy. What is inside this syringe?” Harry asked as the syringe started to float in the air.

The way the woman was trembling, Harry was certain that the woman was afraid, but it didn’t look like she was going to answer his question. “Fuck you!” The woman spat while hatefully glaring at Harry, and the next moment, Harry tore off her pinky from her hand with a strong yank.

“Aaarrrggghhh!” The woman screamed as she started to struggle in her chair. The woman continued to struggle and seeth before the wound on her hand closed. It took a few seconds, but the woman finally calmed down.

Harry dropped the finger on the plastic mat before grabbing her ring finger. “Are you in a mood to talk?” Harry asked but only received a baleful glare from the woman. So, with a sigh, he tore off her ring finger making her scream again…
