Nymphadora Tonks - the pink-haired, bubbly, chatterbox of OOTP is replaced with a mousy looking, moody, taciturn young woman in HBP. What caused this sudden transformation ? It is only in the end that we know for sure the reason for her nervous manner and sudden tears over the year. Tonks has fallen in love with Remus Lupin, a werewolf. But Remus refuses to hear anything on the subject.  Do you think Remus loved Tonks as much as she loved him ? From the beginning ? Did you guess correctly the reason for Tonks' change ? Harry notes the change in her, and indeed it would be hard not to, she doesn't laugh at all and hardly even talks. We learn from Snape that her patronus changes form to mirror her feelings. It is only after Dumbledore's death and the resultant scene in the hospital wing that we get to knoe who Tonks has been pining for. Remus is shaken by the front of his robes and told that Tonks doesn't care who, how or what he is. What do you think of his statement, "I'm too old for you ... too poor ... too dangerous," to a determenined Tonks ? What exactly did he mean by dangerous ? do you think they made a good couple ? We see Fleur/Phlegm announcing her engagement to Bill quite early in HBP. Molly and Ginny are not too happy with the idea though. Things seem to be going along fine but then comes the fight with the DEs. Bill is horribly scarred, and the handsome looks he had are replaced with a Moody like countenance. Molly is sure that Fleur, whom she suspected to be superficial would no longer want to marry her son. But Fleur, to everyone's surprise declares that Bill's scars do not make a pennworth of difference to her love for him, and we have a happy ending. Did you like Fleur in the beginning of HBP ? Did you change your opinion later ? Do you think they are suited for each other ? What did you think Fleur would do when she saw her fiance with his face all messed up ? Do you think that incident had some influence in the Remus-Tonks scenario ? Who can forget won-won ? Ron and Lavender get together for some days causing Hermione to first set birds on him and then ignore his existence. Why did Ron do it ? Did he really care for Lavender at that point of time ? Or did he just want to show Hermione that there were people who wanted to kiss him too ? And what was it that made him want to get out of it later ? Ah ! Now we come to Harry and Ginny. HBP gives us what a lot of us were waiting for - the first Harry-Ginny kiss. After 6 years of waiting, Ginny finally gets what she wanted from the second she saw Harry - his love. Did you think they would get together in HBP ? What was it that made it happen ? Ginny breaking up with Dean, Harry realising at long last Ginny was the one for him, the quidditch cup, or all of them together ? What did you think would be Ron's reaction ? And Hermione's ? Did Harry have to distance himself from Ginny at the end of HBP ? This thread is for all questions and theories on romances in HBP, so give us your views on everything to do with the Empress of Emotions ~ Love.
