Notes: Written for WeasleySeeker's 'The Rumours Competition'
It was maybe an hour or two since the first whispers had arisen, but already every corridor and classroom was alight with the newest, shocking rumour.
"The Black girl? The middle one?"
"Andromeda. I hear she's seeing Ted Tonks."
"The Hufflepuff?"
"The Muggle-born!"
"No way! I mean, a Black and a mudblood? A Black?"
"Oh, don't you just want to be there when Bellatrix finds out?"
"It can't be true, can it?"
"A Black a mudwallower? Are you hearing what you're saying?"
"Well, they work together in Potions..."
"There's no smoke without fire!"
"Personally, I think it would be brilliant. The Blacks are so stuck up, serves them right!"
"I heard that they were seen snogging behind the greenhouses."
By dinner time, everyone knew that Andromeda Black and Ted Tonks were an item.
Everyone, that is, except Ted and Andromeda.
