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. Pius Thicknesse , Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement , had made it an imprisonable offence to create a Portkey near Harry's home, and as he was underage he could be Traced if he Apparated , and hence could not leave to attend without endangering his life.
Tonks had unexpectedly become pregnant sometime after the wedding and presumably tried to tell Harry before the Battle of the Seven Potters, but was interrupted by " Mad-Eye" Moody. The Order ultimately decided that they would break the charm around Harry several days before his birthday on 31 July, so that they would have the element of surprise; as Voldemort apparently expected them to wait until he was seventeen to attempt to whisk him away.
Tonks, along with a dozen members of the Order and Harry's friends, travelled to 4 Privet Drive , where they were to escort Harry to safety. Tonks took the role of a protector, flying on a broom with Ron Weasley disguised as Harry.
It soon became clear that Voldemort had expected such a move, as at least thirty Death Eaters were waiting to engage them in battle. Tonks and Bellatrix engaged in a mid-air duel, whilst Ron stunned one of her fellow Death Eaters straight to the head. Bellatrix seemed as determined to kill Tonks as she was to rid Voldemort of Harry, though Tonks ultimately escaped from her and gravely injured her husband, Rodolphus Lestrange.
Tonks and Remus safely at the Burrow shortly after the sky battle. They made it to Muriel's, but missed their Portkey to the Burrow. Muriel delayed them further by fussing over them, but they appeared to Apparate into the sky above the Burrow and perform a crash landing into the garden.
Remus was grateful and relieved that she was alive, but " sounded almost angry at Tonks " when he demanded what kept her so long and what had happened to her. As she told what happened; " A muscle was jumping in Lupin's jaw. He nodded, but seemed unable to say anything else. In the days following, Tonks was over the moon and radiant, although she didn't reveal why.
She briefly attended Harry's birthday party before leaving at the imminent arrival of Rufus Scrimgeour. Tonks later was a guest at Bill and Fleur's wedding the day after. She was talking to Charlie Weasley when the wedding was disrupted by Death Eaters , following the Fall of the Ministry and death of Scrimgeour.
Tonks was seen with Remus preparing for the battle and casting a Shield Charm. It is unknown if she escaped or if she was questioned by the intruders, along with some of the other guests, before being released. Shortly after the wedding, Tonks and Remus split up. Remus feared for the child Tonks was carrying, worried that the child would be a werewolf like him. All of his old fears over his relationship with Tonks resurfaced, and he withdrew from her rather than hurt her.
Tonks moved back in with her parents. However, their split didn't last very long. Remus, after arguing with Harry at 12 Grimmauld Place , finally saw sense and reunited with Tonks sometime before Christmas. Before Easter in , Tonks learnt that her father had been murdered by Snatchers. She ultimately gave birth to a son, Teddy Remus Lupin , just after Easter and named him in honour of her late father. Tonks and Lupin both felt that Harry should become Teddy's godfather, and he accepted.
To the relief of Remus, Teddy inherited Tonks's metamorphmagi abilities, which he demonstrated mere hours after his birth, and showed no signs of lycanthropy. When Neville Longbottom had raised the call to arms for Dumbledore's Army and the Order of the Phoenix to fight against the Death Eaters in the Battle of Hogwarts, Tonks initially didn't answer the call.
She was staying with her mother Andromeda and her infant son Teddy. However, she couldn't stand not knowing what was happening while Remus was fighting. Tonks Apparated to the Hog's Head and travelled through the makeshift tunnel in the bar and into the Room of Requirement. She then joined the battle and fired spells down at Death Eaters from a window of the castle, along with Ginny, before asking Aberforth Dumbledore if he had seen Remus.
He replied that he was duelling Antonin Dolohov and had not been seen since, so she rushed off to find him. It is unknown if she ever did. Remus and Tonks's dead bodies lying in the Great Hall during the one-hour armistice.
During the battle, Nymphadora was finally killed by her own aunt, Bellatrix, in the third of their duels, probably and partially because she had just recovered from childbirth. Her death was avenged by Molly when she in turn killed Bellatrix.
Teddy would be raised by Tonks's mother, Andromeda, though he would dine at Harry's and the Weasleys' homes three or four times a week. Her son seemed to have a close relationship with Bill Weasley's daughter, Victoire Weasley , making it possible that he could become an official member of the family Tonks herself had been so close to. During the s , Tonks appeared as a Foundable during the Calamity. Volunteer members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force were able to free her, allowing Tonks to return to her original time.
Tonks was a young witch with a pale heart-shaped face and dark twinkling eyes. She typically kept her hair short and spiky, and often bubblegum-pink. She has also worn short and spiky violet hair, curly white-blonde hair, and waist length tomato-red hair.
Her natural hair colour might have been mousy brown since it was stuck on that colour during the year she had difficulty morphing. While joking around with Hermione and Ginny at Grimmauld Place, Tonks changed her nose into a pig nose resembling Dudley's, a "beak-like protuberance" resembling Snape's, and a nose like a button mushroom.
In she disguised herself as a tweedy tall woman with iron grey hair and an old lady in a purple hat shaped like a pork-pie. Ron Weasley believed that no man would choose Tonks over Fleur Delacour , stating that Tonks was " okay looking when she's not doing stupid things with her nose and hair " but not as pretty as Fleur.
Tonks was enthusiastic, bubbly, and easily able to make friends with people she had just met. She was eager and would often want to help Molly Weasley in the preparation of dinner at Grimmauld Place , something that Molly was not eager about.
As a Metamorphmagus , Tonks was known for using her gift for lighter purposes, such as experimenting with her appearance for entertainment. Despite this, she had difficulty controlling her magical abilities when she was unhappy, such as when her love was rejected by Remus Lupin or when she was very angry.
Tonks was notoriously clumsy and curious. For example, she smashed a plate in the Dursley's kitchen during their rescue of Harry Potter and knocked over an umbrella stand in Grimmauld Place. In her youth, Tonks tried to solve her mistakes in unorthodox ways, though they were not always effective. Despite her young age, Tonks possessed an incredible will. This is evident when she cast a non-verbal Patronus Charm, which requires a powerfully happy memory, despite being highly miserable at the time.
Tonks was a staunchly loyal supporter of Albus Dumbledore. In her work for the Order of the Phoenix , she was brave, dependable, and selfless. She repeatedly put her life on the line for the sake of following through with Dumbledore's plans. Tonks rather disliked her given name and considered her mother as a fool for naming her as such, thus insisting to be called "Tonks" instead. She didn't express any rejection when others referred to her as "Dora", a shortened form of the given name she detested so much.
This may have been because her father and her husband both called her it. Having been trained in the use of both defensive and offensive magic by Alastor Moody , Tonks was a highly accomplished and skilful witch. She was a proficient duellist and a Metamorphmagus. Her skills allowed her to hold her own against and even defeat several experienced Death Eaters. Tonks conjuring a corporeal Patronus form of a wolf. Tonks maintained a very good relationship with her parents, although she utterly detested the name Nymphadora, which was bestowed upon her by her mother.
She took after her father , preferring a little disorder and mess to fanatical cleanliness which mother ironically excelled at, referring to the Dursleys ' immaculate home as she rescued Harry from the house. She was affectionately called Dora by her father, which she didn't seem to mind even though it was technically a shortened version of her first name. Shortly before her death, Tonks learned that her own father died and decided to name her son after him. Sirius Black , her first cousin once removed.
Tonks's extended family was populated by members of the House of Black , although she wasn't considered a member of the House since her mother had married a Muggle-born and had been struck off the family tree, much like her first cousin once removed, Sirius Black.
He mentioned that Tonks' mother was his favourite cousin while growing up. Since Sirius spent most of Tonks' life in Azkaban , the two never got a chance to really know each other. On occasion Tonks mentioned that she thought Sirius was still handsome even after the time he spent in Azkaban.
Despite the fact that they barely knew each other, it can be assumed that she was upset by his death, most likely because he was family and an ally to the Order of the Phoenix. Prior to Sirius' death, Tonks was duelling Bellatrix Sirius' murderer and was defeated by her.
Hermione stated that she might feel guilty because of this, but it was only speculation. Bellatrix Lestrange , her maternal aunt and murderer. Both Bellatrix and Narcissa refused to acknowledge Nymphadora as their niece, as they had already severed all bonds with Andromeda when she married a Muggle-born, and even felt humiliated when Voldemort made fun of them about Tonks' marriage with a werewolf.
Bellatrix seemed particularly eager to kill her niece whenever they encountered one another, especially after Voldemort instructed her to " prune " her family tree.
The pair had several duels, and Tonks noted that Bellatrix seemed as keen to murder her as she was to rid the Dark Lord of Harry. She eventually succeeded during the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May, It can be assumed that Narcissa didn't consider Teddy Lupin , Nymphadora's son, to be a member of the Black family either, as he had known Muggle ancestry and a werewolf for a father, thus making his blood impure.
Since her mother was disowned after marrying her father, Tonks' name wasn't on the Black's family tree, so 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. Remus Lupin , her husband and father of her son. At some point during her time with the Order of the Phoenix , Tonks met and fell in love with fellow member Remus Lupin, who found her amusing, then impressing, and eventually reciprocated her feelings, although he didn't notice them at first because he was used to considering himself unclean and unworthy.
Before he could stop himself, Remus had replied bitterly that he supposed she had fallen for his old friend "He always got the women. Despite being extremely happy, Remus 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 and even volunteered for long-term, lethal missions to keep distance between them.
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. Her Patronus also changed, resembling a wolf that showed her love for Remus. While on Hogsmeade duty, Tonks was informed that a werewolf had been killed by Fenir Greyback.
She showed great concern by immediately contacting Dumbledore, to confirm whether or not it had been Lupin who was killed. 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. Tonks became pregnant by this time, so 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, with whom he passed almost all her pregnancy.
The couple's son, Teddy 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. She, Moody, and other members of the team all visit Arthur when he's recovering in St Mungo's Hospital - something else that wasn't shown on the big screen. This is when the good guys make their move, taking the Boy Who Lived away from Number 4 Privet Drive to 12 Grimmauld Place--the headquarters of the anti-Voldemort movement and where the beloved Ron, Hermione, and Sirius are all waiting for him.
What the movie doesn't reveal, however, is that they leave because of Tonks. Everybody is amused at the prospect of Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley all leaving the house only to find out they've been had.
Funny stuff. This is just a minor little thing, but it's neat nonetheless. Tonks is actually a big Quidditch fan , something she reveals to Harry when she comes to rescue him from Privet Drive.
And she's fascinated by his Firebolt broomstick, which is meant to be the very best in the business--even being used by the Ireland and Bulgaria teams at the World Cup during the events of the Goblet of Fire. For Christmas, Tonks gives Harry a mini model of his Firebolt. It's a cute gift and the Boy Who Lived likes it, even if he prefers and possesses the real thing.
Harry only ever gets gifts from the Weasleys at Christmas in the movies but his present network is significantly bigger in the source material.
Unfortunately for him, Draco notices a sudden movement overhead and catches the Boy Who Lived in the act. He immobilizes his enemy and breaks his nose in revenge, with the wounds of Lucius Malfoy's arrest mere months previously still raw. Luna then comes to Harry's rescue but, in the book of the same name, it's Tonks. She fixes his nose and sends him on his way but the Gryffindor pupil notes his friend feeling and looking glummer than usual.
Tonks suffers from depression during the Half-Blood Prince. Not just because Lord Voldemort is fully back causing havoc around the world, but because Remus Lupin spurns her affections.
She develops a big crush on the werewolf and falls deeply in love with him yet Remus, worried about the consequences of her dating a werewolf would be, continuously dismisses her. Snape answers the call, sneering that her new Patronus, a werewolf, is weaker than her older one. Remus later explains to Harry, rather haltingly, that a Patronus can change form under great emotional upheaval.
It's not until the end of the book when readers understand what's happening to Tonks, but they definitely get a completely different experience with the disheartened Auror than film goers did. Harry, Hermione and Ron speculate that Tonks is so sad because of the loss of Sirius, who was her cousin, even to the point of speculating that she'd been in love with him.
It's not until the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when it "all suddenly became clear to Harry; it had not been Sirius that Tonks had fallen in love with after all. When Fleur says she'll still love Bill even with his new scars, Tonks exclaims, in a strained voice, "You see!
She still wants to marry him, even though he's been bitten! She doesn't care!
