Tonks had always loved the winter. She wasn't very big on the cold weather, but the season just seemed a season for, no pun intended, joy. Her family was not really the kind you went home and celebrated with. She did get along with a few of them though. With her family not around she was pretty much a loner. Not many people seemed interested in her. She was a slytherin after all. It was assumed that "ooh, aah, bad slytherin, working with death eaters." A thought only extenuated by her being part of the Black family line; A family known for its support of Voldemort, and his ideas toward half-bloods and those with no magical parents. The truth of the matter was though; she despised most of her family for that very fact. She was a slytherin, yes. She figured it made sense, after all her family was mostly from that house, including her mother. She was also sneaky, and quite clever. If you needed help scheming something she was always able to come up with a plan.
She was a very interesting person, what with her pink hair, and such. But the only attention she seemed to get was from upper classmen boys who thought they were bad asses. Unfortunately, in their quest for courtship, or their twisted idea or courtship, they failed to realize she wasn't at all interested in boys. In fact, she much preferred the girls. She was openly willing for people to know, and as far as she knew herself, most people did. Except for the few oblivious boys who thought they could get in her pants of course. Some times she wondered if that added to her seemingly unapproachable self. She just had to get through these last four years of Hogwarts, then she could go on to become a Auror, and do what she felt was right, to fight the darkness. So what if she didn't actually date in school, she'd date later on. Unfortunately that didn't help her lonely heart.
