Very nice. You give us the feelings of chaos that are going on through the tests without having to describe them all.

Yay, more Auror!Tonks fic. Plausible and inventive series of tests, and I thought Tonks' mixed feelings about her morphing abilities were spot-on.

Good thing she doesn't find werewolves particularly unnerving :)

Yay! I loved this little glimpse into Tonks' life. Great job!

You know I love this, but I'm adding my 2 cents in anyway.

As usual, you've nailed Tonks perfectly. She's still the clumsy girl we all know and love, but you have given her a class all her own. The Auror. Not just Tonks.

The backstory you gave her on why she wanted to be an Auror was bittersweet, but the journey most people take to finding themselves usually is. The entire sequence through her final exercise was brilliant. It was not a laundry list of actions, but a crisp overview and reflection that made the piece move.

All in all, brilliance!

Lovely work, but I never expected any less from you. :-) I especially appreciated the background you provided as the lead-up to her test; she didn't just emerge whole-cloth from her Auror training to be the spunky, occasionally clumsy, werewolf-loving Metamorphmagus we can't help but feel affection for, there's a history behind who and what she is, and you did an admirable job giving us a glimpse of that.
