Andromeda was frustrated. Her parents and teachers constantly compared her to Bellatrix.
"Why aren't you more like your sister?"
"I was hoping you'd be more like Bellatrix, how disappointing."
They had to understand that she wasn't Bellatrix. She wanted to be like her sister, but it was impossible. Tears threatened to spill, but Andromeda refused to let them. She was a Black after all and they didn't do things like show emotions. She shook her head and decided she was determined to be like Bellatrix, maybe even better than her. Andromeda Black was going to make her parents look her way for once.
Andromeda had succeeded in making her parents look her way in the end although not in the way she had hoped. Rather than being proud of her, they were outraged. The furious looks on their faces had been etched into her mind when she had told them she had fallen for Ted Tonks. She knew that her family would be less than pleased with the news, but had still been slightly hurt with their reactions.
They had disowned her and yet, Andromeda Black was glad she wasn't Bellatrix for once in her life. She would miss her sisters and even her parents, but she didn't regret the choice she had made.
