Tonks wasn't made for the auror office.
Oh they had the talent, the skill, the quick mind and the sharp tongue. They were great at the job. If they were anyone else, they'd have excelled.
But they weren't made for the auror office.
There was too much status quo to enforce, too many rules, and too many people who were unjustly punished by the rules. Things weren't fair and Tonks was never one to ignore that. They were a Hufflepuff through and through and through.
And Alastor Moody knew it
He knew the second he took them on as his protege that Tonks would not last in the office. It was no surprise to him that they jumped at the first opportunity for treason with little care about how it might bite them in the end.
He left, in his will, everything to Tonks. Everything but the letter he left to Kingsley Shacklebolt:
"Give this to Tonks when they quit."
The letter, opened by an angry and bitter Tonks in 1999, had just one line:
"Well done."
