Chapter-1

Andromeda Tonks

The tree beside the house is eerily quiet she wonders, as if it can physically feel the absence of children hanging from its almost fifty years old branches. The house is quiet too...to an extent that the silence deafens her once sharp and pointed but now fragile ears. It's funny really, how she would beg for some peace and quiet those days , when her beloved grandson made her dark hair start going grey with his shenanigans , now a much mature and older ( 24 years to be exact ) Teddy Lupin lived with his fiancee Victoire Weasley in London . Although teddy and Vick visited every chance they got , Harry and Ginny would pop in often enough, sometimes with their kids and Molly Weasley was here at her house every other day for tea always bringing something or the other to eat along , Andromeda would find herself alone most of the time.

It would be times like these when her life would play itself in front of her eyes vividly . Being the second black sister in her maternal house , she refused to call that place her home ,not that it mattered anyway she had been blasted off the family tree as soon as she left that hell hole and jumped into Ted's awaiting arms. The romance she had had with Ted Tonks was not something to be told of as an epic saga but was something that could be told as a happy ending story to children. The Blacks have always been exceptionally good looking , and Andromeda and her sisters were no exceptions , although both her sisters were stunningly beautiful Andromeda had been the one to be bestowed with looks in most abundance ,the reason why she had been arranged to marry Rabastan Lestrange at a very young age. Young and naive Andromeda had not thought much of it in her childhood years and often thought of it as something of a game , but as time progressed and she entered Hogwarts she began to realize the flaws in her upbringing. Sorted in Slytherin like her elder sister and family members Andromeda was not considered any different than her siblings but she was proud of being the most representative of all the Slytherin traits in all of her family...cunning as a fox , resourceful like no other and ambitious in her own creative ways Andromeda was greatly admired in her Hogwarts years.

Slytherins in addition to her family status also respected and admired her for her fiery streak , hence nobody saw fit to come in her way. Being friends with all other houses Andromeda soon gained perspective and started appreciating the beauty of everything and got even more and more annoyed with the ways her betrothed Rabastan used to control her and one day at a Slug club party in her sixth year which she attended as his date Andromeda made it perfectly clear to him. He had been too authorative and to show her protest when she grabbed the first male present in the party in her vicinity by his collar and snogged the day lights out of him , nobody could really fault her . But as her luck would have it the boy ( Ted Tonks, incidentally) whom she snogged was made her partner for the evening prefects round the next day and Andromeda being a black had maintained her prim and elegant posture pretending that the most oomph oozing snog of her life had never happened but the Hufflepuff prefect was not deterred he had caught her by her waist , lightly caressed her wrist and just when she had been expecting his lips to descend on hers he had whispered " i am not a toy like Lesterange" a millimeter away from her lips and left promptly.

Her black ego had been challenged and she had been intrigued and hence began her mission to woo the hufflepuff heart-throbe . her looks had helped and needless to say Ted Tonks and her had become an official couple within a month .Sneaking out after curfew, the visits to astronomy tower in the dark and dates in the kitchens had been the highlights of her days back then. The slytherin jeered and taunted her about associating with the mudblood but one look at her murderous expression and a hex or two from ted had shut them up . it wasn't long before the situation reached her house and her mother had sent her a few loving words through a bloody howler which she promptly set to fire on the breakfast table with a wink to ted much to the disapproval of mcgonagal and amusement of Slughorn. The gravity of the situation began to descend on her when she had received a letter from Bellatrix warning her of disownment if she continued her sordid affair with the mudblood . The threat had done its work and with great strength that she was surprised she even had in herself she had broken things off with a heartbroken Ted.

But one look at those hopeful glances the other girls gave to Ted had dissolved her resolve and she had charged in his direction and had defiantly declared that she loved him with tears in her eyes and was not afraid of any disownment that came in their way to which a ted had wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug and whispered "Good , because I am never letting you go, even if I have to lock you up in our bedroom when we get married " to which she replied with a slight chuckle , being too busy in inhaling his scent

As expected she had been disowned the moment she mentioned marriage with ted . She had asked for a last glance of her sisters and brothers which reluctantly had been fulfilled . Bellatrix had stopped her from even touching herself that had quite honestly surprised Andromeda for she had been expecting some choice words from her elder sister , Narcissa had maintained a stoic expression but had whispered a pleading "don't..." in her year which brought tears to her own eyes...Sirius had hugged her tightly told her to have fun and that he would convince mother to come and visit her because no matter what his Andi will always be his favourite cousin with a sour look towards Bellatrix , Reg had kissed her cheek on instinct she believed and with a final wave Andromeda black had stepped into her new life with her hand in interwined with her ted.

They had had a small quiet wedding after an year and after four years of a blissful marriage she had given birth to her beautiful daughter Nymphadora . Apple of her father's eye and the most precious possesion of her mother's Dora had been a very happy child , always a clever child she had soon mastered her metamorphmagus abilities on her own to a decent extent...so vivacious and full of life , Dora had been a hufflepuff like her father...oh how she missed her daughter and husband...and on the top of all her sorrows the information that Bellatrix...her older sister Bella.. had murdered her only daughter like a ruthless animal... she had always known that her sister was a nasty piece of work even when they were younger...but she had recently learned that Bella was a mother too then how could she e..even do that to her younger sister... Andromeda sighed ,thinking about Bellatrix had always been excruciatingly painful because she did not only murdered her daughter but her brother...Sirius, always the rebel Sirius , and Andromeda would never forgive her for that.

Then there was Narcissa ,poised and always wearing a poker expression her younger sister had been her best friend before Hogwarts she still remembered the times when Cissy would peep toe in her room at night after having any kind of nightmare and they would camp in her bed sheets with lots of chocolates and whispering so quietly as if afraid that someone would break their safe cocoon...Narcissa was like her sisters destined to marry a pureblood...that nasty Lucius Malfoy...but Narcissa had gone with her marriage , Andromeda had heard through the Hogwarts grape wine without even blinking an eyelid . That night she had cried so much that poor Dora had also been subdued and seeing Andy show so many emotions in a single hour for her long lost sister...Ted had contacted and conned fresh out of Hogwarts Sirius into coming to their house...and ever the loyal Sirius Black had arrived two hours later with a bottles of firewhiskey in one hand and James Potter hanging on the doorway beside him with his girlfriend Lily Evans tucked into his side and before Andromeda could even process this new arrival , Ted Lily and James had scooped Dora and marched off to her room leaving the two siblings standing in their living room...one with a running nose and blotchy cheeks...the other with gash on his right cheek and a shit eating smirk plastered on his face...even after three bottles of alcohol , she remembers the conversation clearly

"Cissy is a right twat , Andy "

"Damn right you are , Black... and Bella is a fucking bitch who can go shove her face in Voldy's Ass for all I care"

" Disgusting visions aside , damn right you are Bla- no..Tonks "

She had met Sirius again not after long at the wedding of James and Lily potter...and her favourite cousin true to his form had given a spectacular best man speech which had the audience in stitches with laughter despite the tears swimming in every eye...Andromeda had been happy for him as he had found a lovely family apart from the wretched people that were his family from blood and this was why she never truly believed in the reasons for his imprisonment, but as the days went by she had focused on her family praying each day to god for her brother's welfare...her wishes had been fulfilled after twelve years after which when she saw Sirius she had not shed a single tear , in fact she had told him that he still could get any girl he wants and after hearing his approving bark like laugh which brought tears in her eyes but she had been filled with unbelievable rage. This rage against Voldemort had been the catalyst in supporting her only daughter's life endagering wish for joining the order like her cousin Sirius

Not many months later she had found her daughter sitting on the couch smiling to herself while her hair turned redder and redder by each second... when asked she had shrugged and left the room but Andromeda knew that bloody smile...the smile of private happiness...of shyness and insecurity that comes from first love...but after some months when Andromeda found her crying she had summoned a bag of cookies (courtesy of Ted) and asked her daughter about it...and after some reluctance Dora had admitted being in love with Remus Lupin...and after overcoming the initial shock she and ted had supported their only daughter in her tragic love story. Remus eventually came around and in the middle a bloody war Nymphadora Lupin had given birth to a beautiful son Edward Remus Lupin.

That bundle of joy had brought the first smile on Andy's face in months after her husband's unexpected and ruthless death...the boy soon became her world and even the shock and excruciating pain of losing her daughter and son in law in one single night had not dettered Andromeda from attending to her grandson...the boy who would never know his parents but only learn about them through their many brave and wonderful deeds.

After a month of grieving and monotonous routine that involved only taking care of the house and the child somebody had knocked on her door , frowning she had went to see the door , wand in hand because she still was uncertain despite the ending of the war...and was shocked to see Harry Potter on her doorstep with a red headed girl...who she recognised as the youngest Weasely child with awkward but hopeful expressions on their faces..until harry had requested to meet Teddy..his godson.

Soon they had become regular visitors and she and Teddy an expansion of the Weasely-Potter clan...Teddy grew up with Harry and Ginny acting as almost his parents that soothed Andromeda's worry of teddy losing the love that he deserved. She still remembered the day when she and teddy had gone to receive the Order of Merlins on behalf of his parents and how proudly Teddy had acted while receiving such an honor and simultaneously hanging on Harry's arm as he was afraid of strangers...Andromeda had seen it all when teddy grew insecure as Ginny became pregnant with her first child but after receiving genuine reassurances from all three of them had started anticipating the child's arrival as well...in fact he woke her at three in the bloody morning to rush to the hospital because Harry had pressed the torch he had given to teddy that would signal the birth of the child. He would never admit it but Andromeda always knew that he had even if he loved all weaseley and potter children immensely he had a slightly bigger soft spot for James Sirius potter and Victoire Weasely ( for obvious reasons) she had seen him go through Hogwarts , fall in love and become a man.

She smiled thinking of him...it was true she missed her people but teddy had more than made up for it amd just as he was thinking about taking a nap...she heard a branch creak and the rusting of leaves...looking out of the window curiously she was greeted with the sight of her grandson along with har fiancee harry and ginny all laughing over victoire's failed attempt to climb the tree...grinning she turned around to join them just as the calls of nana and andy started to fill the air.
