Nymphadora Lupin (née Tonks) (c.
1973 – May 2
1998) was a
half-blood witch and
Metamorphmagus who was a member of the second
Order of the Phoenix. The daughter of
Muggle-born wizard
Ted and pure-blood witch
Andromeda Tonks (née
Black), she disliked her given name and thus preferred to be called "Tonks" or sometimes "Dora." She attended
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from
1984 to
1991 and was Sorted into
Hufflepuff House. After leaving Hogwarts, Tonks joined the
Ministry of Magic and trained to become an
Auror under
Alastor Moody, qualifying in
1994. In
1995, she joined the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix, working undercover in the Ministry and helping to guard the
Department of Mysteries. In June of
1996, she fought in the
Battle of the Department of Mysteries and at some point fell in love with
Remus Lupin. Remus, feeling he was too poor, old, and dangerous for her, rejected her feelings, although he felt the same way. In the wake of the return of
Lord Voldemort, Tonks was assigned to
Hogsmeade as part of the Auror task force sent to guard Hogwarts. Tonks later fought in the
Battle of the Astronomy Tower and, after seeing the love
Fleur Delacour held for
Bill Weasley despite his injuries, publicly declared her love for Remus. The two were
married in the summer of
1997, and Tonks became pregnant shortly after. She gave birth to a son,
Teddy, shortly after Easter in
1998. In May of that same year, Tonks fought in the
Battle of Hogwarts, and was killed by her aunt,
Bellatrix Lestrange.
