Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Tonks is introduced early as a member of the Order in the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. At the time, she, and senior Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt, were acting as spies for the Order at the Ministry, which strongly opposed Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter. Officially they were assigned the Ministry task of tracking down and monitoring Death Eaters activities and hunting Sirius Black, a fugitive and refugee hiding in his own house: the hidden Headquarters of the Order at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Indiscreet action at the Ministry would have cost Tonks and Shacklebolt their positions, due to the prevailing anti-Dumbledore policy. However, they were able to supply intelligence to the Order about the Ministry's activities.
Tonks helps to escort Harry first from the Dursley family house to Order headquarters, and later to the Hogwarts Express train at King's Cross railway station for school.
Tonks later fights the Death Eaters at the Department of Mysteries, together with Alastor Moody, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Albus Dumbledore. She was injured by her aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange, and had to be taken to St Mungo's hospital. She was fully healed and released, and a short time later got together with Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, and Arthur and Molly Weasley to confront Vernon Dursley about Harry's treatment at Number Four Privet Drive.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
During Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Tonks is stationed at Hogsmeade and assigned to guard Hogwarts. Harry observes her behaving uncharacteristically: she is constantly depressed, rarely smiling or acting friendly. Her hair, normally a vibrant pink, was always a mousy brown colour, her abilities as a Metamorphmagus were also disturbed, and her Patronus changed some time after the battle from its original form to a large, silvery, four-legged animal. Such changes were held to be evidence of extreme shock or strong emotions. Harry and his friends assume that her evident depression is due to Sirius Black's death. Harry speculates that Tonks might have been in love with Sirius, since he thought that her Patronus resembled Sirius's Animagus form. The Weasley children, (particularly Ginny), speculate that their mother is trying to match Tonks up with their brother Bill, because Molly Weasley keeps inviting Tonks for dinner. After Albus Dumbledore's death, it is revealed that Tonks had fallen in love with Remus Lupin, and her patronus had as a result changed to the form of a wolf. When he was reluctant to return her affections (believing he was too old and it was too dangerous for her to be involved with a werewolf), her depression muted her magical abilities. Tonks appears to have been consulting Molly for comfort and advice. At Dumbledore's funeral, it appears that Tonks and Lupin have gotten together; they are seen holding hands and Tonks' hair has returned to her favoured pink, signifying that she is happy again.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Early in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Tonks accompanies twelve Order members to take Harry Potter from the Dursleys' home to The Burrow, and before they leave the Dursleys' home, she announces that she recently married Remus Lupin. She flies with Ron, who impersonates Harry using Polyjuice Potion, as a decoy to have Death Eaters thrown off the real Harry's tail.
Later in the book, Remus reveals Tonks is pregnant. She gives birth to Teddy Lupin, who is named after Tonks's father. Remus and Tonks choose Harry to be the godfather. Teddy is also a Metamorphmagus, like Tonks, as seen by his frequent hair colour changes right after birth. When Harry returns to Hogwarts in search of the Ravenclaw relic that Lord Voldemort had turned into a Horcrux, both Tonks and Lupin arrive along with other members of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army. When the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts to get Harry, both of them join the others to hold off the Death Eaters in order to buy Harry time to find and destroy the Horcrux. During the Battle of Hogwarts Tonks is killed by Bellatrix and Lupin is killed by Dolohov, leaving Teddy an orphan and left in the care of Tonks's mother Andromeda.
