"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? I don't think this telephone thing is wor-"
"Give me a chance to answer!"
"Oh. Sorry, Andie. I'm not used to these weird things. Why can't you just send me an owl?"
"Because I needed to talk to you right away, Sirius. You're the only person I can tell…"
"What is it?"
"I'm… Well, you see…"
"Spit it out, Andromeda. Don't keep me waiting. I've got plenty of things I could be doing right now…"
"And by things you mean women…"
"Oh, shut it. Anyway, what were you going to tell me?"
"I'm engaged."
"My own Andromeda, all grown up and engaged. I think I might cry. Who's the lucky man?"
"Well… That's why you're the only person I can tell."
"Merlin, you're marrying that muggle-born bloke, aren't you? No wonder! Well, there goes your name on the family tree. Kudos to you, cousin."
"His name is Ted. And he wants you to be in the wedding… I know you don't know him well, but you're the only family I want to claim. Someone has to give me away and you know old Cygnus Black won't give away his disgrace of a daughter to a Mudblood. Please, Sirikins?"
"Fine, fine. When's the wedding? If you plan it right, I can miss some of my exams…"
"Sure, and then you can fail your OWLS."
"On second thought…"
"Good night, Sirius."
"Don't let the Teddy bite!"
"Shut it."
"Love you too, Andie."
