NYMPHADORA TONKS
Not once did Nymphadora believe Sirius was guilty of the crimes the Ministry claimed he had committed. He was too deadest against Voldemort and everything his family stood for. He had been too determined to be different, to be better.
Once, right after she had been deemed an official auror, she had punched a fellow proby for telling everyone that he was going to bring Sirius into custody and watch them administer the Kiss to him. She was suspended, though Shacklebolt seemed impressed.
Tonks had hardly ever spoken to Kingsley Shacklebolt (he was kind of intimidating). She was totally taken off guard when, after suspending her, he asked if she would join him for dinner that night. (She couldn't say no, he might hex her). She was even more surprised when he brought to a hidden dingy old house instead of a restaurant. She was shocked into tears when Kingsley led a man by the arm to her…it was Sirius. From then on, Tonks and Kingsley were close friends.
As much as she hated her name, she never told her mother to call her Tonks. She called "Mother's Privilege" plus, she knew Andromeda wouldn't stop anyway.
The first time she had seen him, he was just Sirius's best friend. Then he was her friend. Then a shoulder to cry on when things were tough. He was patient, listening to her ranting and raving about Scrimgeor and Fudge and Voldemort and how she wished the war was over. Then Sirius died and she became his shoulder and she listened to him complain. She then realized she had fallen in love.
She only ever let her father, Sirius, and Remus call her Dora.
Charlie Weasley was her best friend, and though she knew he had a crush on her, she was more attracted to Bill. But when Bill dumped her, Charlie had already moved on and she thought she had lost her chance at happiness.
Tonks had never thought of marriage. Now she had a ring on her finger. She never thought of having children. Now she waddled around the house and talked to her stomach. She had thought her parents were invincible. Now she watches her mother cry every night wondering why her father had to die.
Teddy was a every mother's dream and more. That's why it took every ounce of courage to leave him and help the Order.
She wasn't even able to mourn her dead husband before Bellatrix came.
