Memories
Druella Black liked looking at old family photographs when she felt lonely. For a while her children's black-and-white smiles allowed her to pretend that she hadn't lost her daughter forever.
Her husband had destroyed most of their photos of Andromeda the day after he threw her out, but Druella had hidden some of them in time, and now spent hours over them whenever she could. She couldn't bring herself to forget Andromeda the way the rest of her family so easily had. Even Bellatrix and Narcissa, who had loved their sister more than anything, behaved as though she didn't exist. Their indifference broke Druella's heart.
She wondered if Andromeda was happy, wherever she was. Had she forgotten her old family, or did she weep over photographs too?
Druella wiped away a tear. "Goodbye," she whispered.
