Summary: Tonks needs more sweets to bribe her students with.
Nymphadora Tonks considered herself a very honorable person, to be sure, but there were some things that even she was not above. Positive Reinforcement – otherwise known as 'bribing one's students' – was an amazing thing she had discovered in her time teaching at Hogwarts. They didn't always respond to threats of detention and the scary faces for which she relied heavily on her morphing abilities. Sometimes it took an extra little oomph and sugar quills, chocolate, and other goodies tended to provide that oomph and it was safe, so long as she handed out the treats when classes were over. That way she never had to deal with the situation of magical children severely hyped up on sugar. She was sure her fellow professors loved her for this.
She'd run out of sugar quills in class that day given that almost all of her students had practiced their shielding spells as she'd instructed them to do for homework the last time she'd seen them. It was a rarity that so many students actually listened like that and they'd gone right through her supply of candy at an alarming rate. Not to mention the chocolate they'd gone through when spells rebounded off of the superb shielding spells and hit the casting students. Dora had been decently impressed and when classes were over for the day, she set off back down to Hogsmeade in order to replenish her supplies and perhaps stop at home to freshen up. Morphing herself a less haggardly tired face only went so far.
A more human looking Dora found her way into Honeydukes in the early evening on Monday night. The early evening being the worst time to visit the store, of course, because she was likely to ruin whatever dinner turned up on her plate later as she ate her way through the store.
She was a right cow she decided with a smile, sticking a sugar quill in her mouth as she scooped practically an entire shelf of Chocolate Frogs into her basket. Whether or not any of this would last until class tomorrow was questionable indeed.
