I just hated that we got badass, fun Tonks in OotP, but in HBP, all the fun and life is sucked out of her because he doesn't return her feelings. It was such a 180 from what we knew of the character up til then.

Right? Like I'm totally gonna believe that a full-fledged, experienced Auror, in the midst of a war, is suddenly going to lose her magical aptitude just because some boy she likes doesn't like her back. Heartbreak sucks and all, but it was really disappointing that apparently "boohoo, my crush doesn't return my feelings" trumped, "holy shit, there's a war going on where my abilities are necessary."

Like...seriously?!

[author_by_night]

I still hold that she had a general meltdown because of a LOT of things. I feel like she was forcing herself to be a bouncy castle in OoTP, and when that ended up not working out so well for her (between Sirius dying, a few other Order members being killed and Remus going off to spy on the guy who tried to kill him when he was three), she just sort of... deflated. I thought the end of HBP she kind of kicked her own ass back into shape. But maybe that was wishful thinking.

Right?? She's a full grown woman, not some half-grown child in the middle of hormone swings.

[elephantinegrace]

To echo my favorite character (to write): "She needs to sort out her priorities."

[(Anonymous)]

i don't think it's unbelievable at all, and i think it's a bit shitty that anybody suggest that people have a choice in whether heartbreak seriously affects them and their capacity, like they're pathetic or weak if that happens, and so obviously superior if it doesn't.

+infinity.

She didn't lose her magical aptitude. She just lost her morphing abilities (I forget what they were called). I think it said right in the book. She was still doing her job as an Auror. She just wasn't morphing her features like she usually did.

[(Anonymous)]

I was pretty sure Tonks chose to look that way because she was trying to be more like Remus.

[darnaguen]

I don't think she was depressed because he didn't return her feelings. I believe he did, but when we take into account what he was doing at that time (infiltrating Fenris's werewolf ranks) and knowing his character, the more likely reason was a) she was terrified for him b) he was trying to push her away because spending time with his kind fed his self-hatred about the whole werewolf thing and all.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. This. Completely. I loved the Tonks we saw in OotP, & I was so sad that we never got to see one bit of that cool person again.

JKR has stated outright that Tonks & Remus died because she changed her mind about killing Arthur in OotP. Until she negates it, I will forever believe she never intended that ship to happen until she made that decision. Then it was let's have them get married & pop out a kid so their deaths are that much more tragic.

OP, are you me? I've never been able to get on board this ship, even accounting for Harry's limited narration. The terrible fanfiction does nothing for me as well.

Bill/Fleur FTW.
