Hehe, I saw it coming while reading HBP. It hit me during 'The Caves' chapter because, er...well, I'm not sure why. But I always keep in mind sub-plots because they usually tie in at the end and I was wondering how Tonk's situation would be explained. The two parts that really stuck out to me were:
No, I haven't been in contact with anybody very much," said Lupin. "But Tonks has got her own family to go to, hasn't she?" "Hmmm," said Mrs. Weasley. "Maybe. I got the impression she was planning to spend Christmas alone, actually." She gave Lupin an annoyed look, as though it was all his fault she was getting Fluer for a daughter-in-law instead of Tonks...
And then, after it had already been mentioned that Harry was disappointed Lupin hadn't been sending him letters:
"You haven't had any letters from anyone in the Order recently?" "No one from the Order writes to me anymore," said Harry, "Not since Sirius--" He saw that her eyes had filled with tears. "I'm sorry," he muttered awkwardly. "I mean...I miss him, as well..." "What?" said Tonks blanky, as though she had not heard him.
