Even if you are Tonks' #1 fan, of course, you may forget that odd thing about the beloved metamorphmagus. So if you are a crazy Tonksamaniac, check this thread for all your Tonks information.

A heart full of gold, it is this now free elf of whom we all fell in love with.
He protects the boy who lived and his friends... only wanting the best for everyone.

As far as I can work it out, Tonks would have been in the same year at school as Charlie Weasley. That means that they would have left Hogwarts in July 1991 as Harry, Ron, Hermione & co started in September 1991, so they wouldn't have been there at the same time.
