Andromeda had dated Ted Tonks for five years while they were at Hogwarts and her parents only found out about them after the wedding. As soon as they were informed about this they tried to void the wedding, but Dromeda wouldn't let them. She put up a fight which ended up with her being disowned, she was left out of her own family. At first she felt sad because of the loss of everyone she knew and loved, but a bigger part of her felt she didn't care at all because at least she had him. She couldn't ask for anything better.
Since the beginning of their friendship he had been really supportive to her. He would listen to every single thing she had to say, no matter how stupid or insignificant it was for him. He made her feel good. He was charming, he was fun, he was intelligent. He was one of those persons you could count on no matter what. They had always been close and without even noticing she had fallen for him.
When he first proposed she had said yes without thinking it twice. She told her sisters, thinking that they would support her, about her relationship with Ted and their future wedding, but they weren't happy at all. They tried to make her back up, but that was something she wasn't planning to do. After seeing this reaction from her beloved sisters, she decided she wasn't telling her parents, not yet at least. So they got married and moved in a flat and the next day she told them.
The day she told her parents they had a big fight. They said he wasn't good enough for her, that he was nothing more than a mudblood, that he couldn't give her the life she deserved, that they'd end up in the street, that their family would be a disaster, that she could get someone way better, a pureblood. The way her parents talked about Ted made her angry beyond reason. They didn't even know him for Merlin's sake! But her parents wouldn't give up. They insisted and insisted until Andromeda finally left.
No matter all the things her father had said, she did have a great life. A few years after the wedding they got a house. It wasn't as big as the Black manor, but it sure was comfortable. It felt like an actual home which was enough for her, but she still missed her family a lot sometimes. She still loved them all. Even if they didn't share the same beliefs, they were her family and she couldn't help feeling homesick every once in a while. She missed all those fights with Bella, those silly games she played with Narcissa, she even missed pissing her mom off. Sometimes she had even thought of going back to them, but when she thought of what she had to leave behind, those feelings simply vanished.
A while after she was disowned his father told her that she still could go back to him, all she had to do was leave "that mud-blood of a husband", as he so heartlessly had called him. Unfortunately for her father, that was something she couldn't get herself to dream of. He was everything to her. She would never do that. Her life was void of meaning without him.
Now, a few years after all that drama, she finds herself laying in bed with her beloved husband and her little daughter. They finally have their own family. They had always dreamt of this and it finally came true. They are happy together, the Black family doesn't interfere anymore and although they are being targeted by death-eaters that doesn't matter, because together they are stronger, and no one will be able to damage this new family. They will stick up together, as they once promised, until death do them apart.
