Jimin's mind was still racing with mystifying thoughts as his trembling hands snapped the jewellery box shut. He still couldn't believe that he had been so naïve and unsuspecting enough to allow the professor to deceive him so easily. Sure, he didn't actually deem her suspicious explanation about her affiliation with his mother as the truth, but he never could have imagined that she had anything to do with his past.
The Hufflepuff might have been utterly befuddled by all the little information that he had gathered, but he was certainly sure of one thing: He needed to get to the bottom of the whole thing about what actually happened to his parents, and he certainly was not going to wait another second.
He was done with being the victim, and he wouldn't let himself be manipulated any further.
Unaware of his own movements in the daze of his confusion, he had started staggering out of his earthy Hufflepuff dorm. As he passed by the corridor along the kitchen, his heart started to race faster while his mind was crowded with many possible speculation about what had happened years ago.
The whole mess of seemingly fractured knowledge that he had, was all too disorienting and he certainly needed some honest answers: it was the only way out of the entire predicament.
The more he tried to think, the faster his heart started to beat and it didn't take too long for his whole body to start shivering with adrenaline. Gradually his determined steps broke out into a series of rushed steps.
In his clouded mind, the Hufflepuff knew that the letter from his mother alone wasn't good enough for him to confront Vivienne. He needed something more than that: a concrete fact that he could use. After a moment of consideration, he finally decided that he should probably pay a visit to the library to obtain more information.
Jimin sped through the corridors of the cemented, old walls that travelled upwards, above his head. He ignored the few gazes, from the other students, that stared at his direction. He knew he didn't have the time to be distracted by anything else, but to focus on the current situation regarding his parents, and most of all, Vivienne.
If someone was to warn him about the exquisitely beautiful professor years ago, he would have dismissed it was some ridiculously baseless slanders. However, he had learnt first-hand that Vivienne wasn't all what she seemed to be. She had intentionally misled the Hufflepuff, and it only emphasised the fact that she surely had something to hide.
As Jimin continued to walk across the corridor, he spotted someone familiar in the distance. Upon a closer inspection, he realised that it was Vernon, who was by himself, walking ahead of Jimin along the corridor.
The orange haired Hufflepuff recalled the conversation that he had with the Gryffindor beforehand, about how Vernon heard about his mother from Professor Lafayette. Jimin had known the latter for quite awhile due to his friendship with Jihyun and at that moment, as he stared at the younger male, he was reminded that Vivienne was also a mother. It was to his knowledge that more often than not, a mother's weakness and the most vulnerable thing about her would be her child; and no matter how perfect Vivienne seemed to be, she might still fall under that category.
Subsequently, an idea hit him: Before facing the professor head on, it would be rather wise to learn more about her first. And who would know the most about Vivienne than her own son, right?
