Chapter 2 Of Disguises and Goddesses

Charlie was quickly shocked out of his morning stupor as his mind registered what his eyes had been exposed to. There was a woman, a naked woman standing in his tub staring back at him. It took him a moment for him to realize that the only woman who could possibly be in his bathroom was Tonks, but she did not look like Tonks. He vaguely heard her accio a towel and wrapped herself in it.

"I…I… am so sorry, I didn't realize you were in here," He stuttered as he backed out of the space and closed the door. He heard a slight laugh as he rushed out to the sitting room. He didn't care that he tripped over Remus and landed atop his older brother. They both woke with a start and reached for their wands but settled when they realized who had interrupted their slumber.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you Charlie, you look like you saw Great Gran raise out of her grave."

"Why the bloody hell did you not tell me Tonks was an effin' goddess you git?"

"Ugh what are you two on about?" Remus mumbled.

"T…Tonks! I just walked in on her in the loo an…and she was getting out of the shower and oh gods it was all I could do to keep from creaming my shorts! Was she just putting on a show yesterday with the whole tomboy look?"

"Okay bro now you've got me really confused. The Tonks you saw yesterday was Tonks so what exactly did you see when she got out of the shower?"

"Bill I think I need time to calm myself down before I relive that memory."

"Charlie you are being so melodramatic. You act as if you get less action out here then Moony over there."

"Hey I resent that Bill! You know good and well I get plenty of action."

"Okay, okay you're right but before you and Emmaline got together you have to admit it had been a long time."

"I'd be careful if I were you. I might just forget to take my potion on the next full moon," Lupin growled good naturedly. "Honestly Charlie, I'm sure she was just trying out her new look. So you think you are calm enough now to give us some details?"

"Yeah…she seemed a few inches taller and her hair was long, down to her hips and raven black. Her skin, oh gods her skin was soft and creamy white, there was no hair anywhere but on her head and between her legs. Her legs were long and slim and she had an hourglass figure and her breasts…Merlin I've never seen anything so beautiful! They were round and full but not too big, something you could really grab onto, ya know. Her stomach was flat as a board but there was some definition to her abdomen, like the beginnings of a four pack and she had her belly button peirced. That face, it was the face of an angel. Her eyes were that same wide and piercing blue. Her lips were full and pink, they looked so soft. She just looked more…I don't know…more sophisticated and… dead sexy," Charlie swallowed hard as he looked back at his brother and Remus.

"Well that fits the bill for rich pure blood so that must be her disguise." Remus said weakly as her tried to remind himself that he had a very beautiful and devoted witch back in London. Bill just looked into space with a glazed look in his eyes.

The silent reverie that the three men were enjoying was interrupted by the object of their fantasies walking into the room adorned with a sheer black dressing gown that covered a low backed red night gown. She laughed as Charlie started coughing and Bill tried unsuccessfully to greet her good morning and all Remus could do was close his eyes and brace himself for the inevitable erection he was sure he would need to bring under control quickly, that is when he brought in the big guns Snape and Sprout going at it in the greenhouses that always worked. Enough to make a grown man cry. Charlie followed her with his eyes as she wondered into the kitchenette and started making coffee. He noticed a large tattoo of a Chinese Fireball dragon that stretched the length of her spine and the Chinese character for strength at the base of her neck. Her hair was still damp but she had pulled it into an attractive knot. Charlie was left speechless, wondering if he had died and gone to heaven. He glanced at Bill and saw the same look of wonder he knew he was wearing. Remus had quietly disappeared into the loo and Anderson was still sleeping soundly, oblivious to all that was going on.

Charlie could hear faint cussing coming form under Bill's breath and decided that he should just get a grip on himself and try to act as if nothing was unusual. He made for the Kitchenette to start breakfast. He was fine until Tonks' breasts lightly brushed his back as she scooted past him to sit at the table with her coffee. He could feel the heat rising to his cheeks and the blood rushing to his nether regions. He asked her to keep an eye on the stove and tried to discreetly make his way to the loo but found that Bill now occupied it. He had to find some place where he could take care of the little problem that was currently becoming a very erect one. He ducked into his room which was the wrong thing to do because his eyes were assaulted by Tonks' knickers, very scant knickers, splayed over her robes in her open trunk.

"Oh gods," he mumbled as he move to the bed and gave himself a quick wank to relieve the pressure that had quickly built up in his cock. He cleaned up the mess with a flick of his wand and went to check if the bathroom was now free. Luckily it was and he slipped in and turned the shower to cold and hoped in. After the prone inducing shower he walked back to his room and knocked before entering as to prevent another embarrassing situation. With Muggle clothes on he made his way back to the breakfast he had left Tonks to watch over. She had set plates out and was dishing them up when he entered.

"Oh good the bedroom's free I need to change," she greeted him as if the episode in the shower had never happened and she had no clue that three out of the four men in the flat were extremely turned on. She slipped out just before Remus and Bill walked in. When they heard the door snap shut they all released breaths they did not know they had been holding.

"Fuck's sake how the hell is Anderson going to pull off the brother act if she is going to be walking around looking like a bloody vixen?" Bill questioned.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about Anderson, he plays for the other team," Charlie replied lamely. The other two men nodded contemplatively, thankful that their cover would not be blown because Anderson might react to Tonks the way they had that morning. They tucked in to the scrambled eggs and bacon that adorned their plates. They became even more focused on the food in front of them as Tonks stepped back into the kitchenette wearing tight, black, low cut pinstriped muggle pants and a crisp white blouse that had a very low collar. Her hair was now dry and loose curls cascaded down her back, half of it pulled off her face. She was wearing stiletto heals. Bill and Remus noticed how fluidly she moved in the shoes which normally would have had her sprawled out in the floor by now.

"Tonks, love do you have something you need to share with us?" Remus inquired. His curiosity would not be abated as to how she suddenly became one of the most graceful women he had ever seen.

"What do you mean Moony?"

"Well it's not every day we see you in anything other then your boots and jeans so why the sudden change before the recon has officially started."

"Yeah and what's with the shoes? You should be flat on your face by now. Are they enchanted?" Bill queried.

"Well first of all gentlemen looks can be deceiving especially with metas and no they are not enchanted."

"Still doesn't explain why you decided to change things up early," Bill muttered.

"I didn't change anything up early, Bill darling, I decided not to morph this morning as this is the form I will take for the mission,"

"Wait, did you just say you did not change this morning?" Remus inquired skeptically.

"You heard correctly Moony."

"Woah! Wait a minute, you mean to tell us this is really what you look like? Why the bloody hell do you masquerade as our little tomboy Tonks if this is the real you?" Bill asked, waving his hand at her.

"Well your reaction this morning, for one, do you really think male aurors would take me seriously if I was myself and not to mention the women, I would have to watch my back everywhere just to avoid the cat fights. Everyone feels I am much more trustworthy as the tomboy, they don't think twice about having me around."

"Okay I'll give you that but why keep it under wraps from everyone?" Inquired Remus.

"Moony, you of all people should know the importance of privacy and discretion when it comes to ones identity, you as well Bill. I would be consigned to the same reputation of my aunts if people knew the real me."

"I don't think that would ever be the case Tonks, you have too good a heart for anyone to think poorly of you," Remus responded.

"Well easier said my friend, my mother had the same problem and you've met her, she has a heart as big as Molly Weasley's," Tonks sighed.

"So you really aren't clumsy either?" Bill asked.

"Well I was going for a convincing package so…"

"Bloody hell, it's all been an act. How do you do it?"

"Well Bill it's not been easy but I just had to."

"It is unfortunate that despite your natural beauty you felt so self conscious that you changed to make yourself more likeable, or what you thought would be more likeable to others," Remus mused quietly. "I understand your insecurity though."

Tonks just smiled at her friend and squeezed his hand.

"I don't think I'll call you Tonks anymore," he said. "From now on it's Dora, yeah?"

She just laughed and nodded. Charlie was not nearly as shocked by the revelation as his brother or Remus because he had not known her for long before she dropped her little identity bomb. He wondered, though, what had motivated her to make this life change now, during a mission for the Order. He saw the convenience of it all, but certainly not her need to hide behind a mask for all her life. His blatant attraction to her was only increased by the desire to find out her reasons. There was obviously more to her then what was on the outside and if she would let him he was going to be the man to prove to her that she could be seen as the amazing woman she really was and not some trophy to be won or conquest to be added to the rest of the notches on some wizards bedpost, if she wanted equality then she would get it from him. His musings were interrupted by a bumbling Anderson who had finally woke up. They all finished breakfast and true to form Anderson did not bat an eyelash at the "new" Tonks just remarked lightly.

"Decided to go au natural today, love? Love it really, I have just the thing for myself. We will make quite the pair of siblings I think."

Tonks smiled and nodded while sipping a fresh cup of coffee. They readied themselves for the meeting in Transylvania and Anderson wowed everyone with his rendition of Nymphadora Tonks' older brother. He decided to take an elegant facial structure that screamed beautiful child of wealthy parents with eyes to match Tonks'. He went with his natural height of six feet and changed his hair to the same raven black she was sporting. They definitely looked related.
