Hi everyone, just wanted to write a quick chapter. Hope you enjoy this.
Chapter One
Halloween 1981
Andromeda sat in her armchair watching her husband Ted enchanting pumpkins for their 7 year old daughter Nymphadora. Life really was perfect. Yes she and Ted had a rocky start, due to her family's disapproval of their relationship and later being disowned. But watching the scene before her she knew she had made the right decision.
The clock on the fireplace chimed.
'Nymphadora, it is time for bed.' she said.
'But Mum! I'm not tired.' the little girl moaned.
'It's an hour past your bedtime.'
'Come on,' said Ted scopping her up. 'Time for bed.'
While Ted was upstairs getting Nymphadora settled, she began cleaning the place and pulled two butterbeers for her and her husband to celebrate Halloween.
Just has she was about to sit back down. There was a knock at the door. Andromeda grabbed her wand and made her way to the door. She couldn't let fear take over, she had to protect her family. She just hoped Ted would have time to take Nymphadora and run.
She quickly open the door and was surprised to find her cousin Sirius Black on the door step holding a little girl in his arms.
'Sirius?' She said, lowering her wand.
'I didn't know who else to come to.' Sirius said, entering the house. 'Can you look after Phoebe for me. I need to go to James and Lily's. Something isn't right.'
'Of course, what's wrong?' She said, taking Phoebe,who was out cold.
'I don't have time to explain.' He said. 'Andromeda, promise me if anything happens to me you will take care of Phoebe.'
'Sirius, not-'
'Promise me?'
'Yes, ok. I'll see you in the morning.' she said, giving him one last hug.
Andromeda watched as Sirius Black took off into the night. She didn't know this would be the last time she would see him. She didn't realise that the next morning that James and Lily Potter would be dead, Lord Voldermort would be dead, that Sirius would be arrested for the murder of Peter Pettigrew and 12 muggle and be accused of working for Lord Voldermort. She didn't realise that now she and Ted would become Phoebe Black's legal guardians.
