Tonks

[Kristine Carlson Asselin]

No: HPFGUIDX 171788

I'm sure this is neither a new theory, nor a new thought  -- but it's one I haven't seen before and I've been lurking on a lot of discussions groups in the last several months.

The character of Tonks is very different in HBP than she is in OoTP.
Upon my first reading, I had put that down to her being in love with
Lupin.  But, after reading HBP again, I'm finding her really out of
character.  Why is she on the 7th floor, outside the
room of requirement (p. 465 Am. Ed) -- she really has no business
being so far from Dumbledore's office.  Is she just wandering the
halls or is she doing something else?  Looking for Draco? I'm not
satisfied with her answer.

She also pretty much lets Mundungus get away after the Trio catch him
selling off Sirius' stuff in Hogsmeade (p 245).

So, is she up to something?  Her patronus is different and she can no
longer shape shift -- is it really Tonks?

I'm starting to think that she might be one of the ones who is
helping Draco (they are cousins, afterall).  I know she's an auror -
but is it possible that she's (or someone disguised as her) is
working the inside of the Order for LV?

Anyone have any thoughts?
