Morte de Nymphadora?

I just realized something really morbid and depressing. It's very, very likely Tonks won't live through <strike>all of the</strike> the next two books.

My sadistic reasoning I really hope proves to be as wrong as my theory that Sirius only had an 8% chance of getting killed off:

1. She's both an Auror and in the Order.

2. Two uncles, and possibly two aunts (definitely one) are Death Eaters. I'm sure Andromeda's on Voldemort's "list" one way or another - and that Tonks is too.

3. The other DE's probably who knew Andromeda probably aren't happy either.

So it's likely Andromeda and/or Ted will be murdered, and very possible Tonks will.

I really hope I'm wrong, <strike>because I need her in a fanfic</strike> because she's a neat character. Besides, the House of Black needs a descendant who isn't g oing to turn to Voldemort or go otherwise evil/insane.

ETA: My reasoning that Sirius had an 8% chance of dying was something to do with the fact that everyone started saying they "knew" he was going to die. I was supposing two out of sixteen actually knew for sure, if even - making it 8%.

And yes, I know how stupid that sounds. But I really didn't want it to be him.

Gah, I hope JKR decides to be nice to all of us and spare her! On the other hand though, the deaths so far have been relatively unexpected (Cedric and Sirius were who came to mind). With Tonks' career and family relations, you would expect her chances of living to be low as it is. Just a random thought, but I think maybe that JKR would go for irony instead. Like that at the start of OotP, Sirius seemed perfectly safe.

Of course, I could be completely wrong^^
