Summary:Stories from the time Tonks was in Hogwarts.

It was a beutifull day. And a normal busy day going on in Kings cross station - atleast for the most of the people. In there, between the plattforms 9 and 10, there was a family with read hair and used clothes. For two members of this family this was`nt a normal day, and theyre family aren`t exactly normal either. One at the time they seemed to disappear, but people didn`t seem to notice. All of them seemed be too busy to take a closer look at these people,even when theyre clothes didn´t mach and one of them had an owl. These are the people that are called muggles,which basically means that they have no idea about the fact that magic exists.

Soon the red haired family had arrived to the plattform 9 and 3/4. Infront of them was a long blac and red-colored train,and this train will soon take them to Hogwarts,the school of witchcraft and wizardy.

"It`s almost time." announced Molly Weasley." Bill,take care of Charlie for me,will you?And Charlie,send us an owl as soon as you have a chance to. We wanna know everything about your first day."

"MOTHER!!!I`m not a kid. And don`t worry,I`ll be fine." Charlie said irretatedly.

"Oh come on dear.I`m sure they`ll be fine." said the boys father.

"I know,Arthur.I`m just so worried." Molly said. Then she gave both of her sons a big hug and then watched when they left. Charlie and Bill waved theyre family a goodbye from the window,and then went looking for free seats.

At the sametime in the opposite side of the train was a young girl,who just had found an empty carriage and sat fell in to her thoughts.

"Oh why,why,why,,,I`m not even in there yet and already I managed to make a fool of myself..Why do I have to be so clumsy..It was SO embarrasing..And people were laughing..Not exactly ste start I hoped."

And while thinking of this her hair chainged colour from brown to navy blue. When she realized this she immidiatly changed it back. This girl is a metamorphmagus,means that she can change her apperiance at will. But unfortunatly she doens´t have the power completely on control. Then the door was opened.

"Excuse me,are these sits taken?"

The girl looked towards the door and saw two both had a red hair and they looked very much alike in other ways aswell,propably brothers.

"Everywhere else is full" said the one who seemed to be older.

"No,they aren`t." the girl answerd watched how the boys took theyre stuffs and put them on the shelf,and then sat down.

"Is this your first year?" the older boy asked.

"Yes" she answerd.

"Mine too.I`m Charlie by the way. And this my brother Bill." the younger boy introduced himself and his brother.

"Nympahora Tonks" Tonks said and blushed.

"Interresting name. How did you get it?" Bill asked.

"I have no idea, but just call me Tonks ok?"

"Sure"Charlie said and the boys started talking about their family. After explaining all about them they asked about Tonks`s.

"I have no brothers or sisters." she said shortly.

"Do you have any idea about the house you could be in?" Charlie asked.

This was definatly the question Tonks didn`t want to give an answer. Her mother had told them how all the people from Black family usually goes to Slytherin. She didn`t want to be one,but she might not have a choice.

"No idea." she answerd.

"Well it´s true though,you can´t really say anything before youre sorted. Our parents were in Gryffindor and that´s where I am aswell." Bill said."What was your parents houses?"

But then Tonks´s hair colour changed and it seemed to take their mind of the subject.

"How did you do that?"Bill asked admirably.

"Do what?" she asked.

"Your hair..it changed colour.."said Charlie.

"Not again.." Tonks moaned and changed her hair back to normal.

"I`m a metamorphmagus." she said when she saw that the boys were still staring." Means I can change my appereance at will." she explained when the boys didn´t seem to understand."I don´t have the total control yet so thats why it sometimes just happens."

"That´s the coolest thing ever!Your´e propably going to get straight O´s from professor Mcgonagals classes. Transformations are going to be a piece of cake for you." Bill said.

"I`m not so sure about that.I´m not that into books." Tonks laughed,and so did the boys. Then the door was opened by the lunch lady.

"Anything for you kids?" she asked.

It was starting to get dark. Tonks ,who already wore the schoolcloak,turned around and closed her eyes while the boys changed. And soon the train stopped. Bill already went ahead and Tonks and Charlie heard that someone was calling the first graders to gather around. They went to the direction of the voice and saw a tall man,with black hair and brown jacket.

"That´s Hagrid. My brother told me about him. He said Hagrid is really nice." Charlie whispered to Tonks´s ear. When everyone had arrived they walked to the boats and sailed to the castle. When they got in there was a teacher with glasses,and black hair in a tight bun,waiting for them.

"Good evening first graders and welcome to Hogwarts." she said and explained them that they were going to get sorted soon and told them to wait for her.

"Do you know how are they going to sort us?" Tonks asked from Charlie when professor Mcgonagall had left.

"Bill told me something shit about fighting with a dragon...Yeah right. Like they would really put beginners fight with one." he answered. For a moment they stood without talking. Then professor Mcgonagall arrived and lead them to the Great hall. When they looked up they first tought that there are no roof at all. Then they realized that there was a spell which showed them a sky full of stars. The older student stared at them when they were standing infront the teachers table. Between the teacherstable and the first graders was a chair and a very old hat. They didn´t have a chance to think about it´s meaning, when the hat started to sing. After it finished the song the students and the the teachers gave loud applauses.

"Ha.I knew it." Charlie whispered to Tonks."We only have to sit and the hat will tell where we are going." started reading students names. The nerves hit on Tonks when she was thinking that soon will be her turn. She had trouble keeping her hair normal-coloured but somehow she managed to do it.

"Nym..Nympha.." Mcgonagall strugled." Nymphadora Tonks.." she called.

"Just Tonks,please" said Tonks and sat to the chair and the hat fell in to her head.

"Another Black...Interesting..You are quite smart but no..Ravenclaw is out of question.I dont´t think that you are a Slytherin either..Quite brave too, so I would say...But where to put you...Hmm..All right.I think I know what to do with you..HUFFLEPUFF!!" the hat shouted the last word and Tonks took a seat from the Hufflepuff table where she heard cheering. After that she watched how Charlie took his place as a Gryffindor.

Later Tonks and the other first year Hufflepuffs followed the prefects to the commonroom. And feeling relief that she wasn´t a Slytherin,she fell asleep.
