It was a quiet day at the Tonks residence, that is until the screaming started.
"I'm leaving you Ted!" Andromeda was currently in the middle of stuffing her wardrobe and other possessions she owned into her trunk.
"Why?" Her now ex-husband asked.
"Because I just caught you cheating on me with that… that… bitch!" She roughly pushed passed him and stared down the stairs to the living room where here sixteen year old daughter Nymphadora sat.
Ted ran down the stairs trying to keep up with the fuming woman. He grabbed her wrist and spoke in a low tone, "Andromeda stop. We can talk about this… work this through. Please." He was pleading with her.
She wrenched her arm away, "Don't touch me, don't you dare touch me."
Nymphadora was sitting watching TV and didn't notice her parents arguing until she heard her mother call her dad a "Cheating bastard"
"Mum what's going on?" Nymphadora asked confused. She looked between both her parents. Neither of them looked at her.
"Do you want to tell her or shall I." Andromeda asked bitterly.
"Andromeda please. We can work through this, no need to involve our daughter." He whispered to her.
Andromeda rolled her eyes. "Nymphadora, your father and I are getting a divorce, I just caught him with another woman." She didn't try to tell her daughter gently, she ripped it like a bandaid and just like a bandaid; it hurt.
"W-what?" Her brows knitted together in confusion. "Dad is it true?"
"Yes. It's true." He sighed out.
"Mum?" She looked towards her mother.
Andromeda grabbed her wand and her suitcase. "Goodbye Nymphadora." She was almost to the door when Nymphadora grabbed her mother's hand.
"Wait mom, what do you mean goodbye?"
Her mother sighed as if she was annoyed. "I'm leaving and you won't see me anymore." Nymphadora was about to ask why when her mother continued. "You remind me too much of your father, it hurts to be reminded of him." Andromeda's face was void of any expression except annoyed like she hated both of them. "I'm disowning you Nymphadora, goodbye."
"Mum" The girl sobbed out while tears streamed down her face and her hair turned a deep shade of blue which meant she was deeply sad.
Andromeda walked towards the front door then looked back at Ted. "I'll have my lawyer send you the papers." She slammed the front door and was out of their lives.
"Dad how could you."
Just as she asked the door knob turned and Nymphadora looked hoping it was her mother coming to tell her it was all just a big joke.
But it wasn't her mother, it was a woman with blond short hair and green eyes. Nymphadora didn't know who the woman was, but her father did. He went over to the woman and gave her a kiss on the lips. Nymphadora didn't notice the woman was pregnant until Ted kissed the woman's belly too.
The woman smiled at Ted, but her face dropped when she saw Nymphadora. The woman's face turned angry."What is she still doing here."
"Relax I'll handle this, don't worry."
"Dad Who is this." Nymph asked while looking at the woman with distrustful eyes.
"Nymphadora this is Joan, she's my…"
"Fiance" The awful woman raised her left hand and revealed a diamond ring.
"Fiance!?" Nymph was shocked.
"That's right" She had a smirk on her face. She looked at Ted with a pout on her face. "Teddy, I thought you said you were going to get rid of her." Joan whined while clinging onto Ted.
"I'll handle it." He said completely under Joan's spell, "Look Nymphadora, Joan isn't like us, she's a muggle and she's okay with me being a wizard, but she's not okay with you being a Metamorphmagus and so…"
"I don't want a little freak like you around me or my baby." Joan interrupted again.
"Uh right… Joan is moving in today and doesn't want you here" He didn't even look sorry while saying the next part. "You have to leave, I'm sorry, but it's time for you to go."
"Where am I supposed to go?" She sobbed
"That's not our problem." Joan hissed at her.
"I think it's time for you to go Nymph." Her father said.
Nymph went up the stairs to her room. She packed the last of her belongings into a suitcase she enchanted to fit everything. She grabbed her wand and shrunk the case and stuffed it into her pocket. She walked down the stairs, the living room was empty, but she heard the ugly laugh of Joan in the kitchen. Nymph walked to the front door, she looked back at her childhood home with tearful eyes. Out the door she went.
Nymphadora didn't know where to go, she didn't have a home anymore nor did she have much money. It was also the beginning of summer holiday so she couldn't go back to school.
Nymphadora went to the only place where she knew she could stay for a while. With a crack she disappeared from her old house to the front of the tipsy gnome. She entered the dark bar and noticed it was pretty much empty except for a few customers.
Nymph got a table somewhere in the far corner, she really didn't feel like conversing with other people, especially after what had just transpired not even 20 minutes ago. Her eyes were still red and puffy and her hair was still that depressing shade of blue.
A woman came up to the table, "Can I get you anything?"
"Oh um, yeah a butterbeer please." She said while wiping away some stray tears off her cheeks. The woman left to get her, her drink. All the while a woman with platinum blond hair and midnight blue robes came into the bar, she sat on the opposite corner, Nymphadora started to stare at the woman when a voice caught her attention.
"Here you go, one butterbeer."
"... uh thank you." Nymph took a big gulp of her drink to try to numb the pain she felt in her head, heart and behind her eyes.
The blonde woman sat at her table and lifted a finger for the barmaid who came over right away. The barmaid disappeared and was back a not a second later with a crystal glass and a bottle of a dark liquor.
Nymph's butterbeer was doing nothing to numb her breaking heart. She waved for the barmaid.
"Do you want another one?"
"No, but do you have anything… stronger?" She was underage for anything stronger, but she was hoping the barmaid wouldn't notice.
The barmaid looked at the tear stained face of the depressed girl with blue hair and took pity on her. "Sure, I'll be right back with your drink."
Moment's later the woman came back with a glass of the same dark liquor the blond witch was drinking. "Here you are."
She took a sip of the liquid and immediately started to cough, the alcohol burned her throat and made her mind go fuzzy.
The blond woman looked over to her left when she heard someone coughing and noticed the sad Metamorphmagus. The blond went over to the young girls table and sat across from her. Nymph didn't notice her, for she was already drunk off of one sip of the dark liquor and one butterbeer. The blond woman looked at the dizzy teenager with a stony face, not saying a word.
Nymph thought she was hallucinating because the blond woman was now sitting with her, she reached for her glass and downed the rest of the dark liquid seeing if the blond would disappear if she did.
The barmaid came by and gave them their checks. Nymph reached for hers when she looked at the bill she sobered up. 20 Galleons for one butterbeer and whatever that dark liquid was. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her money, she only had 8 Galleons on her, she was 12 short.
Nymph looked at the blond, "I don't have enough to pay for my drinks, do you think you can loan me 12 Galleons?" The blond witch obviously had money she could tell by the way she dressed and the way she carried herself. The witch could spare a few Galleons.
"How bad do you need this money?" The blond smirked at the dazzed girl.
"Um…"
"I'll tell you what, you let me beat the shit out of you and I'll pay your bill." She offered with an evil grin.
Nymph was still very drunk and wasn't thinking straight and thought it wouldn't be that bad, the blond didn't look like she could do that much damage. She looked at the woman and nodded her head.
The blond stood up and Nymph followed. She took her out to a back alley, before Nymph could register what was happening a hard punch was delivered to her stomach. She hunched over and held her stomach, but then another blow was delivered under the girls chin causing her to fly backwards and land with a heavy thud. The blond took out her wand and casted a slicing hex that cut the girl across her thigh cutting her jeans and staining them with her blood.
Nymph looked down at her cut and looked back up at the blond, "Please… no more…" She panted out.
The blond backhanded her and busted her lip, blood dribbled down her chin and getting on her shirt. With another flick of the blond's delicate wrist, a gush of wind hit Nymph square in the chest causing her to throw up the contents of her stomach.
"Disgusting" The blond spoke, "but you have proven yourself to me."
Nymph looked up at the blonde while panting and heaving.
"I'd like to offer you a job of sorts."
"W-what kind of job?"
"I'm in need of a new maid, here." She handed her a slip of paper. "This is the address to the floo network to get to Malfoy manor, I expect to see you there in one week." She threw down the money at Nymphadora then left.
Nymphadora picked herself off the floor on wobbly legs and headed to back into the bar, the bar was now officially empty, the barmaid was cleaning up the rest of the tables. She walked up to the bar keep and held out the Galleon's.
The barmaid gasped when she saw Nymphadora "Oh dear! What happened to you?"
"N-nothing." She held out the money in her bloody hands.
The woman took the money from her, "Are you okay? Would like to sit down?"
"No I-I'm fine. H-how much are the rooms here?" She was shivering now from loss of blood."
"Forty Galleon's for the night."
"Oh." Nymphadora put her hands in her pockets and walked out of the bar she went back to the hidden alley and laid down amongst the empty bottles and trash.
