Tonks bristled at the implication she was lying, though really, she didn't trust them either, so it was fair. "I'll put my wand down if you put yours down," she said. "I've no way of knowing you're who you say you are either, pardon my frankness, and I'd rather not die right now. Again, apparently."
She did, however, perch on the edge of a desk, looking apprehensively between the two men. "Yes, I'll take veritaserum," she said. "Will that convince you? Honestly - Nymphadora Tonks, born 7 April 1973, daughter of Andromeda Tonks, née Black, and Ted Tonks. Metamorphmagus." This time she changed her appearance completely, to a slight blonde girl with purple streaks in her hair. "Which last time I checked was pretty bloody rare. Moody trained me and retired immediately after, and I like to think I had something to do with it. I'm married to Remus Lupin, and I've a son who's nearly a month old - his name's Teddy. I've got a picture."
She rooted around in her pockets and pulled out a picture of her, Remus, and Teddy on the day he'd been born, and she offered it to the one who was talking. Vaisey. "We've been in hiding for almost a year - there's no way anyone but me or my mum or my husband could get our hands on that."
