The Untold Stories of the Order of the Pheonix

This is a collection of the stories we never got to read about the Order of the Phoenix. Focuses around Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin and their stories. Special appearances by Sirius Black, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and the Weasleys. All chapters are inspired by a quote from the Harry Potter books.

"We've managed to convince some people, though," said Mr.Weasley. "Tonks here, for one — she's too young to have been in the Order of the Phoenix last time, and having Aurors on our side is a huge advantage — Kingsley Shacklebolt's been a real asset too. He's in charge of the hunt for Sirius, so he's been feeding the Ministry information that Sirius is in Tibet."

In Which Tonks Achieves Her Dream

It was ten o'clock in the morning. Nymphadora Tonks was asleep on her sofa, snoring quietly. Her short brown hair was an uncontrollable mess. She had spent the previous night doing paper work for the ministry, and she barley got home before midnight. No matter, her shift today didn't start until 10:15.

An alarm clock, that was sitting on the ground, began beeping loudly. Tonks reluctantly swung her arm down on the clock, to turn it off. Her arm lay limp as she drifted back to sleep.

CRACK! A tall, black, man appeared in Tonks's flat, staring disapprovingly at the young woman.

"Get up Tonks! You're going to be late for work, again!" the man said in a deep voice, tugging on her arm.

"I'm coming Kingsley, just a few more minutes," Tonks murmered. Kingsley rolled his eyes.

"Up Tonks!" Kingsley said once more. "And if you don't, I'll be forced to hex you," he said, while taking out his wand.

"Fine, fine," Tonks said, groggily as she pulled herself up to a sitting position. Her flat was very messy. Clothes were lying on the ground, along with dirty dishes and various magazines and newspapers.Tonks made her was to a tiny bathroom taking with her a shirt and a pair of pants she found hanging on a doorknob.

"You know, this place can really use a good cleaning," Kingsley called after her, carrying a group of plates over to the sink.

"You say that every day," Tonks replied.

Tonks reappeared a couple minutes later with long, electric blue hair, which was now tame and manageable. Picking up a black cloak that was lying on the floor, she followed Kingsley out her front door.

"I still don't understand why you insist we walk to work," Kingsley said, as him and Tonks were walking along the sidewalk.

"Because it's fun and relaxing," Tonks said cheerfully. "How's Emily nowadays?"

"She's fine," Kingsley replied. "Just a bit nervous. She doesn't think she'll be a good mother."

"She'll be a great mum. I just still can't believe you're going to be a father!" Tonks exclaimed, laughing.

"Neither can I."

"You see Kingsley, this is the reason I insist that we walk to work. It's precious bonding time. And considering that you're the only other Auror I'm relatively close to, it's a good thing that we have moments like these," Tonks said thoughtfully.

"We're going to be late," Kingsley said, while taking a look at his watch. "Scrimgeour will have our heads."

"Why does it matter," Tonks mumbled. "I've been in this Auror business for a year, and I haven't gotten to fight one Dark Wizard. I became an Auror for some action, not for pointless guarding missions. I want to have a real mission. I want to fight a real Death Eater! I mean, as exciting as paper work is...it just doesn't cut it. I mean, shouldn't we be preparing for the return of You-Know-Who? I'm not that stupid to believe that he's never coming back, and I know the Ministry isn't either."

"Do you mean what you just said?" Kingsley asked seriously, while looking around anxiously.

"Yes...why?" Tonks asked, give Kingsley a weird look. He then pulled her into a narrow, deserted alleyway. "What are you doing Kingsley!" Kingsley was using his wand to put many different spells on the place where they were standing.

"You-know-who is back." Kingsley rushed. "He's been back since the Triwizard tournament ended. Harry Potter saw it, Dumbledore believes him. Do you believe Dumbledore? Do you believe that he is back?"

"Well...I...I've always trusted Dumbledore, I just...he's back? Are you sure?" Tonks sputtered, tripping over her words and looking helplessly at the man before her.

"Yes, I just got back from Remus Lupin's place this morning, he and Sirius Black explained the whole thing," Kingsley said.

"Whoa, whoa, first of all, who's Remus Lupin? And second of all, SIRIUS BLACK, my COUSIN? You must be crazy. He's a convicted murderer of Pettiger...Pettiga...Pettigrew...yeah that's it." Tonks's expression had a touch of disbelief.

"Remus Lupin is a man who worked for the Order. And.." Kingsley sighed. "Sirius is innocent. He always has been. Pettigrew faked his own death those thirteen years ago. Trust me, I was just as shocked as you are. Now, back to what I was saying. The Order is being reunited, and we would like to know if you would like to join the Order. Your metamorphmagus abilities are greatly needed. This is, of course, if you are willing to risk your life to fight against...You-Know-Who"

"Join the Order? I'd LOVE to! I've always wanted to be a part of the Order. Then maybe I'll finally get some Death Eater action!" Tonks exclaimed, her eyes twinkling.

"The first meeting will be arranged once Dumbledore has determined a headquarters. For now, you need to play it off like you know nothing. Fudge will have us sacked if he suspects we're with Dumbledore, and there needs to be spies in the Ministry. Now this is serious Tonks, do you want to be a member of the Order?" Kingsley was looking her straight in the eye.

"Yes," she said confidently.

"Then welcome to the Order of the Pheonix, Tonks." Kingsley stuck out his hand towards Tonks, who grabbed it and shook it joyfully.
