05 May 1989.

"Miss Tonks, please come in", said Professor Sprout from behind her desk.

Tonks made her way into her head of house's office, trying to stay calm. this is it, T, this was going to be the first time she would say her career choice out loud to another person apart from Charlie. 'Sprout is cool. Sprout likes you. Sprout is not going to judge you.'

"Wotcher, Professor"

After she was sitting, Sprout decided to talk, "so, Tonks, you know why you are here so let's get to it. Want some tea, dear?" said while making herself one, Tonks could only nod. "I guess you have done your research on the career options I gave you all at the beginning of last year, so please do share your opinions on them".

Sipping her tea, Tonks began, "I – I – I want to – to be", she said a little nervous, she saw how Professor Sprout just smiled at her, encouraging her to keep talking, "I'm sorry, I've only said this once and is was to Charlie", this is it, keep talking, you can do it, "I want to be an Auror"

To say that Sprout was surprised would be little, but she just kept smiling and arched her eyebrow.

"I know is surprising, Charlie laughed when I told him, I don't know why actually, 'cos wanting to be a dragon tamer is far more crazy" Tonks continued "but I know I can do it, I've wanted to become one for two years now, and I've been studying a lot and my grades had actually become better since, I just think is the thing I am meant to do" she spluttered "Huff's are hardworking people, Dad told me that once and I've really making an effort. I know it's the last thing you would've thought of me, but as I said I know I can do it even if you don't think I'm fit to be an auror".

"I never said that Tonks, do not put words on my mouth" she said firmly "actually, I don't see you in anything else but that. You are a good student Tonks, you have a great personality, everyone in your house and in the others have something nice to say about you, rather about your abilities or how fun you are. I have one question though" Tonks heard herself said a quick yes, Sprout actually thought she would be good "Why an auror?"

This was the one question she knew she had an answer for, it had always been the same reason, since her parents sat down with her before her first year and told her all about the war and how her family was involved, she knew she wanted to do something good for the world she was part of, and when she discovered what an auror did, she knew that was it. After all, what was better than capture the people that made her world a bad and dangerous place to in?

"My family" she answered "dad's a muggleborn and mum's a pure blood, you know how that story goes, you witnessed it" Sprout let out a small laugh "and I know that the war against You Know Who was awful for both of them especially trying to protect a little kid and mum's side of the family being his most loyal followers, they told me that everyday they thought that someone was gonna appear at our front door looking for dad o to threat mum for being a 'blood traitor', so I just know that I don't want any of that to happen again, I don't want people being afraid of going out just because some people think they are better than others, I don't want people getting hurt because some crazy bloke thought it was funny to play with the dark arts. I just want to help make the world a little bit better, for mum, dad, and everybody actually" she let out a breath.

"Merlin, Tonks, that was good, I think you are going to be a fine addition to de auror department in a few years" Sprout smiled proudly "now, let's get to the real thing, you need at least 5 five OWL'S with an Outstanding or Exceeds Expectations, then you have to get good results on your NEWT'S and after that if the office accepts your request you have to go to some interviews and physical and psychological tests. Most of the teachers here, me included, accept students with E's and above for the NEWT levels"

"Except for Snape" Tonks interrupted.

"Yes, Professor Snape requires O's for the NEWT classes, but since you said that you have been working hard in your studies I don't think it's gonna that hard to get it. There is one more thing though, have you considered another career choice?

"No, not really" she hadn't, being an auror was it for her and that was the only thing that she had considered.

"It's not that I don't think you can do it, but in case anything happens I don't want you to give up if work out the way you plan it, just think about it, okay? It is good to have a second or third option" Sprout sipped her tea.

"Okay" she was going to do her research but she knew she could do it "Professor?" she said before leaving and forget it "From what I know, with the OWL'S and NEWT'S they ask for letters of recommendations and I know Dumbledore writes them if people ask but I was wondering in case everything actually works out, if you could write one too? Being my head of house and all" she smiled shyly.

"It would be my pleasure and I know for a fact your house will be very proud if you turned out to be one of the people defending our society. Now, go back to your common room or wherever you where before" her professor bid her goodbye.

Tonks left her head of house's office with a feeling of relief. Someone believed in her, someone thought she was good for the job, and was proud of her choice. She only had to tell her parents now, and pass her OWL'S.

"How did it go?" Charlie was waiting for her near the Great Hall.

"Excellent, she said she was actually expecting it and thought I could be a good addition for the department" she said and without noticing the step she tripped over.

"Well, you got to work on those feet of yours T, or at least try not to stumble over everything, we don't want aurors who fall all the time. Now, come on, let's go to Hagrid's" he dragged her by the elbow.

"He is not going to have a dragon for you to pet, Charlie"

11 July 1991.

"Dora, breakfast is ready" she heard her father scream.

"Coming" she screamed back before putting she finished her letter to her best friend. Rumania. Wow.

"Wotcher dad, mum" she said as she entered the kitchen.

"Nymph, love, there is a letter for you" Nymph, she sighed, there was no point in fighting with her mum over her stupid name.

"From?" she asked her mum, it couldn't be Charlie or Penny, she had just sent them a letter.

"The Ministry" Tonks search for the blue envelope, and as soon as she found it, she opened it.

Dear,

Miss Nymphadora Tonks,

We have received your school tests results along with your letter with your reasons to join the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the recommendations letters.

You are to come to the Ministry of Magic, this Monday 15 at 9 o'clock for your physical and psychologic test and your respective interview.

Hope you are having a good day,

Rufus Scrimgeour,

Head of the Auror Department.

"And?" she heard her father asked.

"They want me. Or at least they me do some tests and an interview. I'm actually going to do it, dad" she hugged her father unavailable to contain herself.

Her father laughed and hugged her back "I told you Dromeda, our girl is going to be the best auror out there"

"Our Nymph is going to catch them all" her mother said after kissing her cheek and they all laughed.

15 July 1991.

She arrived at the ministry and after saying goodbye to her dad she headed towards the auror department.

It's going to be ok T. She could do it, everyone believed in her. Her dad made her a super breakfast and mum hugged so hard she thought she had crushed some bones. Charlie wrote to her and so did Penny. Sprout believed in her, she was proud of her. McGonagall wrote a recommendation letter saying she was one of her best transfigurations students. Flitwick wrote one too, even though she wasn't an expert in charms but he liked her cause 'her hair was fun'. Merlin, even Dumbledore had written one.

She went through the doors of the DMLE.

This is it.
