Tonks's friendship with Harry grew for the next two and a half years. In 1996, Harry hoped Tonks would be among the Aurors sent to escort him to the Hogwarts Express, though she sadly 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. 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, indicating her protectiveness towards him despite her heartache. Harry was disappointed by how gloomy Tonks had become, missing his friend's bubbly nature. She went away to Hogwarts at age eleven like all good English witches and wizards do, and was sorted into Hufflepuff, much to her surprise. After awhile she decided that that being loyal wasn't such a bad quality to have and settled in nicely to her house. She made friends with some of her fellow Hufflepuffs, though her best friend was a girl from Ravenclaw who was often dragged around on some of Tonks' more 'adventerous' ideas. She liked very much to have fun and bounce around the castle, trying to be clever and coy with her schemes, but she'd always been clumsy and just all around generally not stealthy. So she spent more time being caught by Filch than actually pulling anything off successfully. 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. [51]

During the 1990–1991 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. It was also nice meeting someone like Tonks, an uncharacteristically young Auror with so much potential, a bit of relatable clumsiness and a carefree attitude when talking her to her mentor, Mad-Eye Moody. It made us feel like, if we grabbed a few bottles of hair dye, we could be cool like Tonks too. Why it matters Her mother was a pureblood witch, and her father was not. When Voldemort secretly took control over the ministry of magic in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , her father had to go on the run. While Harry, Hermione, and Ron were disguised, hunting Horcruxes, they ran into her father, but a few weeks later, they heard he had been killed over the radio. Though Tonks and Charlie Weasley were in the same year at school, there was no reason to believe they knew each other well before their appearances in Hogwarts Mystery (in which Jacob's sibling is also in their year). Tonks was in Hufflepuff, and Charlie was in Gryffindor.Her shortest appearance to date was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, in which she appeared only in two brief scenes and had no lines. However, a deleted scene shows her being reunited with Remus on The Quad. He tells her that she should be with Teddy, and she responds: "He'll sleep 'till dawn, and snore like his father. It's you that needs me tonight. When Harry’s nose was broken, Tonks was able to fix it immediately, showing many medical magical skills. Nonverbal Magic She proved herself a great flyer each time she accompanied Harry away from his aunt and uncle’s house. Dueling Listen, no bloke in his right mind's going to fancy Tonks when Fleur's around. I mean, Tonks is okay-looking when she isn't doing stupid things to her hair and her nose..." — Tonks's physical appearance [src] Studying for and taking her OWLs caused her to hunker down for the first time and try to figure out what she was going to once she left Hogwarts in two years time. The answer didn't come immediately and during her sixth year she signed up for a number of elective classes to try and figure out what she wanted to do. It turned out to be all in vain when, in fact, her interest in Defense Against the Dark Arts remained as true as it had ever been and she quietly slipped out of the other classes she'd signed up for (who really needed Care of Magical Creatures?) and concentrated on that. It paid off, and she did remarkably well in her DADA NEWTs, well enough in everything she needed to apply for auror training once she'd graduated.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, Year 6, Chapter 40 ( A Witch Scorned) - Herbology Lesson "Mistletoe" Apparition: Like most adult wizards and witches, Tonks was capable of Apparating successfully at will. In 1996, after visiting Molly Weasley, she left by Disapparating. [42] Non-verbal magic: Tonks is also capable of performing magic non-verbally as seen in several situations including duels. For example, she was able to stun Lucius Malfoy and duel Bellatrix Lestrange and other Death Eaters without saying a single word.

Oooh, he looks just like I thought he would. Wotcher, Harry!" — Tonks meeting Harry Potter for the first time [src] Tonks was a young witch with a pale heart-shaped face and dark twinkling eyes. [6] As a Metamorphmagus, she could change her appearance at will. She typically kept her hair short and spiky, and often bubblegum-pink. Her shortest appearance to date was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, in which she appeared only in two brief scenes and had no lines. However, a deleted scene shows her being reunited with Remus on The Quad. He tells her that she should be with Teddy, and she responds: "He'll sleep 'till dawn, and snore like his father. It's you that needs me tonight."

Once the dust had settled on the Battle of Hogwarts, the survivors – still grieving their dead – had to start rebuilding. For Andromeda, that meant building a life for herself and Teddy Lupin. We know that Teddy was raised primarily by his grandmother, with frequent visits to the house of his godfather – Harry Potter. Andromeda Tonks fiercely loved her daughter, and there would never have been any doubt that she would raise Teddy after the death of his parents – but it still takes a remarkable woman to raise a baby on her own after losing her husband and daughter in the same year, and never falter in providing a loving and stable environment. Ron was great... wonderful! Stunned one of the Death Eaters, straight to the head, and when you're aiming at a moving target from a flying broom..." — Tonks praising Ron's fighting abilities during the Battle of the Seven Potters [src] Boggart: It has been known to change, but currently it's an image of her mother being murdered by one of their estranged family members. It's a fear left over from the war.Duelling: As an official Dark Wizard catcher, Tonks's duelling talents were naturally considerable. She was capable of duelling Thorfinn Rowle to a stalemate, before forcing him to retreat, and survived her first two encounters with the most powerful lieutenant of Lord Voldemort, her aunt Bellatrix Lestrange. Indeed, during her second encounter with her aunt, Tonks was able to duel her to a stand still in a mid air battle between the two, and was capable of overcoming Bellatrix's husband Rodolphus Lestrange at the same time. Tonks was ultimately killed by Bellatrix during the Battle of Hogwarts, though it is unknown what the nature of this encounter was and her death may or may not have been the result of a duel between the two. 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 also patrolled Hogsmeade and met Harry shortly after he had confronted Mundungus Fletcher, when the latter was trying to sell items from Grimmauld Place to Aberforth Dumbledore.

In the books it appears to be strongly hinted that Tonks was murdered by her aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange, but in the film it is unknown if Bellatrix was the one who killed Tonks or not. Healing magic: In 1996, Tonks effectively used the healing spell Episkey to fix Harry's nose when it was broken, showing she was skilled with medical magic. Although her common use of the word 'wotcher' suggests that Tonks is from southern England, on the UK editions of the audiobooks Stephen Fry reads her with a strong Lancashire accent. 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. [27] Remus was also killed, and Andromeda was left as the only surviving family member of her new grandson: Teddy Lupin.

In the last film it appears that Tonks is shown in the Quad Battlements with Kingsley, Mr Weasley and her husband Remus, whereas in the books Tonks most likely ran to the grounds to find Remus because that's where Aberforth Dumbledore told her that was where Remus was.
