Bellatrix seemed particularly eager to kill her niece whenever they encountered one another especially after Voldemort instructed her to "prune" her family tree, and eventually succeeded. The pair had several duels, and Tonks noted that Bellatrix seemed as keen to kill her as she was to rid the Dark Lord of Harry. Since her mother was disowned after marrying her father, Tonks's name was not on the Black's family tree.
As such, the family house-elf, Kreacher , who was supposed to listen to anyone in the family, refused to take orders from Tonks. Instead, he kept muttering insults about her half-blood status. Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody was Tonks's mentor during her time training as an Auror , and later whilst they were both in the Order of the Phoenix. Despite Moody's surly attitude and behaviour, Tonks was always at ease with him, making funny comments at his opinions and lectures, such as the one he gave Harry on elementary wand-safety the night the Advance Guard escorted him to Grimmauld Place [3].
Other witches and wizards found him too intimidating and weren't brave enough to tease him openly, but because the pair were quite close, Tonks didn't mind laughing at him. For his part, Moody was openly fond of Tonks; Harry Potter once noted that she had been his favourite during their time together at the Ministry. When Tonks was injured during her duel with Bellatrix Lestrange in the Department of Mysteries , Mad-Eye crawled his way to her side in an effort to help her regain consciousness, despite having been injured himself by Antonin Dolohov.
Tonks was devastated by Moody's death in , openly crying in front of the Weasley family and rest of the Order of the Phoenix members. The pair immediately took a liking to each other, and Harry was particularly impressed by Tonks's position as an Auror, as well as her extraordinary Metamorphmagus powers.
At the time of their first meeting Harry Potter was intimidated by the rest of the Advance Guard but not Tonks who was clumsy and funny. Later, during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , Tonks was among the Order members that came to the rescue of Harry and his friends. Harry was later relieved to hear that she would recover from the injuries she suffered at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange. Tonks's friendship with Harry grew for the next two and a half years.
In , Harry hoped Tonks would be among the Aurors set to escort him to the Hogwarts Express , though she was not. Shortly after, Tonks rescued Harry on the Hogwarts Express; she performed the counter-curse to remove the Full Body-Bind Curse placed on him by Draco Malfoy , healed his broken nose and ensured he reached safety within Hogwarts.
When Tonks married Remus Lupin in , she was sorry that Harry couldn't attend the wedding due to him being required to remain with his Muggle relatives to ensure the protective charm on him held. Later, when Lupin briefly left Tonks, due to fears that the child she carried would be infected with lycanthropy like himself, Harry was furious with him for leaving his family.
It was largely because of Harry's words that Lupin returned to Tonks. In , when she gave birth to a son named Teddy Lupin , both Tonks and Lupin agreed that Harry would be the godfather. Harry was devastated when he learned that Nymphadora was killed by her aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange. He noted that the grief he felt over the death of Tonks was akin to a physical wound. In memory of both Tonks and Lupin, Harry acted as a father figure to their orphaned son Teddy, who, despite being raised by Tonks's mother, would spend three or four nights a week dining with the Potter and Weasley families.
Tonks met Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley in the summer of She immediately struck up a friendship with them, acting somewhat like an older sister to the teenagers during their time at Grimmauld Place. Ginny appreciated Tonks since, although she was an adult, she was interested in having fun and taught her how to check if a door had an Imperturbable Charm on it, by flicking objects at the door in question. Hermione liked the fact that Tonks was proof that women could also go high and get good positions after school.
Both, however, liked the fact that she could change her appearance at will, as she entertained them both over dinner by changing her nose into various shapes. In , Ginny revealed that she would prefer Tonks rather than Fleur to marry her brother Bill and be part of their family; Tonks was, albeit distantly, related to Ginny anyway.
Hermione and Ginny somehow felt worried about Tonks being depressed lately, that even affected her magical abilities. The two, however, became glad about her marriage with Remus Lupin in the mid of During the Battle of Hogwarts , they were very devastated to know that she was killed, and mourned on her body together with Remus 's, Fred 's and over fifty others.
She let him know of her feelings, and, although he reciprocated them, he felt that any relationship between the two of them was too dangerous because he was a werewolf. He also felt he was too old for her—being thirteen years older than she was—and too poor due to his difficulties in maintaining a job because of his condition.
She tried on several occasions to convince him otherwise, but he constantly refused her pleas. Tonks became depressed over this, and confided in Molly Weasley. Her emotional state caused her metamorphic abilities to suffer, and her hair became mousy brown rather than its usual pink although it is possible that this is just due to her either wanting to look more like her husband or her misery at him not loving her appearing deliberately.
While on Hogsmeade duty, Tonks was informed that a werewolf had been killed by Fenir Greyback , and she showed great concern by immediately contacting Dumbledore, to confirm whether or not it had been Lupin who was killed. Her Patronus also changed, resembling a werewolf that showed her love for Remus. In , following the death of Albus Dumbledore and the scarring of Bill Weasley , Tonks openly declared her love for Remus, citing that Fleur Delacour still loved Bill despite the nature of his injuries and the possibility of werewolf contamination.
Remus protested that the situations were not the same, but eventually relented and the two began a relationship [4]. They were married quickly, in a quiet ceremony in the summer of , and Tonks became pregnant shortly after. Remus, fearing that his child would be a werewolf , was initially horrified at the prospect, believing he had put both Tonks and his unborn child in great jeopardy. They split up just after Bill and Fleur's wedding, and Tonks went to stay with her parents.
However, they reconciled sometime before Christmas, after Harry and Remus had argued over his responsibilities as a husband and father at Grimmauld Place. After this on the radio station Potterwatch, Remus said that if he could talk to Harry then, he would have told him to follow his instincts because they are almost always right, it can be assumed that he was talking about returning to Tonks.
The couple's son, Ted Remus Lupin , was born just after Easter, , named after Tonks father who had been killed a few weeks earlier by Snatchers and his father Remus.
Sadly, the family would not have long together. During the Battle of Hogwarts , both Tonks and Remus were killed [5]. Teddy was raised by his grandmother, Andromeda , and spent a lot of time with his godfather, Harry [7].
Tonks and fellow Order member Molly Weasley had a rather close relationship. Though there was a significant difference in age between the two, the pair often confided in one another; several people suspected that Molly hoped her son Bill Weasley would fall in love with Tonks, rather than marry Fleur Delacour.
Molly appeared to be the only person that Tonks confided her love of Remus Lupin to, and was noted by Harry Potter as acting somewhat frosty to Lupin during the Christmas holidays, though he misinterpreted the reason why. Molly often invited Tonks to dine with the Weasley family , and she was always a welcome guest at the events held by the Weasley matriarch. Indeed, Mrs Weasley appeared to be Tonks closest adult friend.
For her part, Molly reacted heatedly to disparaging remarks made by Fleur in regards to Tonks, which is indicative of the high opinion she held of Tonks. At the conclusion of the Battle of Hogwarts , it was Molly who duelled and killed Tonks's murderer Bellatrix Lestrange. In addition to the fact that as Harry Potter's godson, he frequented Harry and Ginny's house. She gave birth to a son, Teddy Remus Lupin named after her late father Edward "Teddy" shortly after Easter in and the couple named Harry the godfather.
Her murder was avenged by her order colleague and friend Molly Weasley. After her death, her son was raised by her mother and Harry. Her mother noticed that Tonks changed hair colour on the day of her birth, meaning she was a Metamorphmagus.
The Sorting ceremony , with a pink-haired Tonks in the front. Tonks began her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in and was sorted into Hufflepuff House at the Sorting ceremony. Being the daughter of the ostracised Andromeda Tonks, she was rejected by the pure-blood supremacists of the House of Black. In her third year , Tonks took at least Divination [17] and Muggle Studies [18] as her elective subjects.
Also in the — school year , at the start of the Herbology lesson on Valerian Sprigs, Tonks warned people to watch out, for she spilled some soil on the floor. When the Herbology Professor, also her Head of House , Pomona Sprout , asked fellow Housemate Penny Haywood to fetch a pail for the watering demonstration, Tonks took the time to briefly wonder aloud about which plant would be most suitable for bothering a certain "irritable, birdlike" librarian.
The musing was cut short by Penny's scream, and the class realised in shock that a supposed werewolf had burst out of a plant pot. Professor Sprout took care of the situation by casting the Boggart-Banishing Spell , and introduced the class to what a Boggart was. As Professor Sprout left to report the incident to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore , Tonks asked Jacob's sibling in puzzlement about Penny's fear, implying she didn't understand why Penny's worst fear would be werewolves.
Tonks coming to the conclusion that she should stop Metamorphosing into teachers. Before the start of the lesson on "rolling" in the Flying class , Tonks chatted excitedly with Rowan Khanna and Jacob's sibling, for as third years , they would finally get to go to Hogsmeade. After the lesson, she revealed she had crashed into the Owlery , the Astronomy Tower , the Whomping Willow , and Rubeus Hagrid's garden , but that apparently was a few crashes fewer than her average.
Tonks later revealed that she had often gotten detentions for turning into teachers using her Metamorphmagus abilities. When revisiting an old lesson in Herbology, re-potting baby Mandrakes , Tonks forgot her earmuffs and resorted to rolling up some Jelly Slugs and sticking them in her ears, which proved to be sub-optimal, for though she was not affected by the screaming Mandrakes; after class, she also could not properly converse with Jacob's sibling, due to being unable to hear.
At some point, Tonks taught herself the highly advanced Patronus Charm. She later saved Jacob's sibling from a Dementor, after Penny was knocked out by one. She was then able to teach Jacob's sibling and Merula Snyde the same spell. One night in her fourth year, [23] Tonks took the biggest Venomous Tentacula from Sprout's greenhouse. She attempted to put it under Filch's desk, but fell on her face on the way, accidentally tossing it into the Potions Classroom.
The plant ended up grabbing Professor Severus Snape. He and Sprout agreed to give Tonks daily detention until the end of her school days, but Sprout gave her the chance to not get detention if she managed to pass a special Herbology test. Tonks studied for the test in the Hogwarts Library , where she came across Jacob's sibling. Tonks told them what had happened and the two agreed to study together.
Professor Sprout didn't make her one of Hufflepuff's prefects in her fifth year because she lacked the ability to behave properly. Despite her behaviour, Tonks achieved good marks on her exams and qualified for Auror training when she left school in This means that she took Defence Against the Dark Arts , Transfiguration , Charms , Potions , and Herbology at the least in her sixth and seventh year.
She earned ' Outstanding ' or ' Exceeds Expectations ' on all of her N. During her sixth year, Tonks proceeded to take N. Sometime that year, she became a founding member of the Circle of Khanna , a group devoted to avenging Rowan Khanna and locating the final cursed vault. It was at the group's first meeting in the Hog's Head Inn that she learned of the malevolent organisation R and its motives to locate the final Cursed Vault before them.
She joined Jacob's sibling on his mission to infiltrate R 's meeting, using her Metamorphmagus abilities to turn into a dark witch. She kept an eye on the meeting, inducing the suspicion of the Wizard in white robes. However she managed to get through the meeting, until Patricia Rakepick apparated into the scene and attacked Jacob's sibling. She duelled the Wizard in white robes and an unidentified dark witch alone, and managed to hold her ground, even managing to disarm and bind the Wizard in white robes in ropes.
During the — school year , Tonks participated in the Ministry of Magic student programme , a Ministry -sponsored programme that allowed seventh-year Hogwarts students to experience various careers first-hand.
After passing a series of character tests that examine practical skills and how well candidates react under pressure, Tonks underwent three years of formal Auror training also under the tutelage of Alastor Moody. Her natural metamorphic abilities allowed her to easily pass the Concealment and Disguise portion of the training without doing any work or study at all.
However, Tonks' clumsiness gave her trouble with the Stealth and Tracking portion of the course. She admitted to Harry Potter that she almost failed, as she had a habit of breaking items. Tonks qualified fully as an Auror in , she was one of the last ones taken on.
With the return of Lord Voldemort in , Tonks was one of the few Ministry employees to be convinced of the truth, rather than accepting the Ministry lie that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named hadn't returned. She joined the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix , and, alongside Kingsley Shacklebolt , worked as a covert operative inside the Ministry, feeding the Order information.
Tonks had to be careful around the Ministry, though, as indiscreet actions would have seen her lose her position as an Auror.
She also took shifts guarding Harry Potter 's prophecy in the Department of Mysteries , along with other members of the Order. She was considered a considerable asset to the Order. In order to lure the Dursleys from the house so they could retrieve Harry Potter , she sent a letter via the Muggle post, informing them that they had been short-listed in the " All-England Best Kept Suburban Lawn Competition.
Tonks befriended the young wizard immediately and helped him pack his trunk, although she was not very good with household spells, something at which her mother excelled. She was impressed by his Firebolt broomstick. During the broomstick flight to Grimmauld Place, Tonks flew in the lead of the formation and convinced Moody to land immediately instead of doubling back. Tonks as a member of the Order task force accompanying Harry to the Hogwarts Express.
After rescuing Harry from the Dursleys, Tonks was extremely busy at the Ministry, and the situation wasn't helped by Rufus Scrimgeour asking awkward questions, possibly due to her association with Mad-Eye Moody. Still, she found the time to attend the party at Grimmauld Place for Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger to congratulate them on becoming prefects.
Tonks arrives in the Death Chamber of the Department of Mysteries. She was severely injured and knocked unconscious in the fight, to the point that Moody tried to revive her. Later, Tonks was saddened when Sirius died in the fight. Following the conclusion of the battle, Tonks needed to spend some time at St Mungo's to recuperate. Fortunately, she was released in time to join several Order members at King's Cross station to confront the Dursleys over their treatment of Harry.
Tonks visiting The Burrow along with Remus Lupin. Tonks continued to serve the Order of the Phoenix , but she had become withdrawn and depressed. The change in personality — and her seeming difficulties in controlling her metamorphic abilities — was noted by those around her. Her physical changes included her hair becoming mousy brown and lank, while her body became thinner.
Some, including Hermione and Harry, thought the change in her mood and appearance was caused by the death of her cousin, Sirius, since she had been fighting his murderer, Bellatrix, and had failed to stop her, and thus might be feeling guilty. However, there was more than one reason for it and yet another cause of her depression was her love for Remus Lupin, who became her close friend over a year. However, he felt a relationship with her would be disastrous for her, as he was a werewolf , too old and poor for her, so he started to volunteer in dangerous, long-term missions in order to keep distance between them.
Tonks confided her feelings to Molly Weasley , and was often at the Burrow for " tea and sympathy ". Her feelings even caused her Patronus to change its form to that of a wolf, although its large, shaggy intermediate form only reinforced Harry's "Sirius" theory. Tonks escorts Harry Potter to the school gates, and casts her wolf Patronus.
With the news that Lord Voldemort had returned being confirmed by the Ministry, Hogwarts received a team of Aurors to help protect the castle from any threats. Tonks was part of the task force and was stationed in Hogsmeade. On 1 September, she rescued Harry from being sent back to London in one of the carriages on the Hogwarts Express , where he had been incapacitated by Draco Malfoy , then covered with his Invisibility cloak , and escorted him to the school gates. She could do this because she had been watching the students exit the train and immediately went to investigate when Harry had not gotten off too.
Tonks often patrolled the corridors of Hogwarts at the request of Albus Dumbledore , when he knew he would be away from the school searching for information regarding Voldemort's Horcruxes. She apparently had abandoned her guard post in Hogsmeade and " come bursting in to see Dumbledore, if that's really why she was here ".
This may have been linked to a werewolf attack on a five year old boy. Tonks was patrolling the school with Remus and Bill Weasley on the night that the Death Eaters managed to invade the castle, via a Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement , and fought against them in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in During the battle, she duelled Thorfinn Rowle , who fired spells rapidly at the young Auror in an attempt to subdue her, though he ultimately failed and was forced to retreat with his companions.
In the aftermath of the battle, Tonks saw the love that Fleur Delacour held for Bill Weasley despite injuries suffered at the hands of the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. In the hospital wing, she publicly told Remus that she loved him, and that was all that mattered. Despite his protests that his and Bill's situations weren't the same, the two started a relationship, since Remus also held feelings for her. At the funeral of Albus Dumbledore , Tonks and Remus stood together, holding hands, and her hair had returned to her preferred bubble-gum pink colour.
Tonks and Remus married in a quiet ceremony in July, , shortly before the Order operation to spirit Harry away from the Dursleys ahead of his seventeenth birthday. Both Remus and Tonks were unhappy that Harry was unable to attend their small wedding, as he couldn't be allowed to leave the protection of his relatives' home, since it was linked to the power of his mother's loving sacrifice when she willingly died for him.
