Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
Author's Note: I wanted to try something a little different for once, so I wrote a Ted/Andromeda fanfic. Sorry to those who have been following "Pandora's box" and "Ceremonials" there is only one more chapter for that one but several left for the first. I just had this idea for this one and so I wrote it. This one will have multipule chapters, hopefully no more than 10.
Based on the song "Second Chance" by ShineDown. I dont own the song. But it did give me the inspiration that I needed. Please read and review. No flamers or haters will be tolerated.
Second Chance
Chapter 1
"You're leaving them tonight right?" Ted asked.
He was worried that she would back out, but Andromeda Black wasn't like the rest of her wretched family, she had a heart and was capable of feelings. She wasn't so damaged that she couldn't be fixed.
"Yes tonight." Andromeda replied.
"You're not having second thoughts are you?" Ted asked slightly apprehensive.
"Of course not Ted. I love you." Andromeda replied.
"Enough to leave your family?" He asked.
"They aren't my family." Andromeda said bitterly.
"What about your sisters?" He asked.
"What about them?" Andromeda asked coldly.
"Won't you miss them?" He asked.
"It isn't a matter of 'missing' them, once I leave I can't go back even if I wanted to. And as far as I am concerned Bellatrix can fuck off. This 'cause' she is part of is bullshit! I hate her Pure-Blood mania! She and her little Death Eater pals can try to conquer the world, but they will fail. You mark my words they will reap what they sew. She will pay for what she will do." Andromeda replied, anger rising in her voice.
"And Narcissa?" He asked.
At this Andromeda closed her eyes, fresh tears seeped from beneath her closed eyelids. Ted cradled her in his strong arms, and she sobbed into his naked chest. He knew that he had touched a nerve at the mention of Narcissa.
"She has chosen her path and I have chosen mine. She is delicate…Bellatrix will protect her…I didn't…couldn't tell Cissy because if Legilimency is used and she knew…she would be killed…oh Cissy, my Cissy." Andromeda said between sobs.
Ted said nothing he just continued to hold Andromeda tight against him as she broke into more intense sobs. He ran his fingers through her dark, chestnut hair, trying his best to soothe her. After a few minutes her sobs had quieted and she looked up into his deep blue eyes, eyes that were almost the same shade of blue as Narcissa's and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
"I'm sorry Dromeda. But I just have to know, to be sure. I love you so much, but I would never ask you to chose between me and your family." He said.
"I made my choice long before you said that you loved me. I knew from the moment that I saw you, that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you." Andromeda said.
Ted's eyes filled with tears at these words and he kissed Andromeda again.
"You have no idea how happy you have made me Teddy." Andromeda whispered against his lips.
No more words were exchanged as hands roamed, and lips kissed and nipped flesh. A moan, a whispering, shuddering gasp, Andromeda trembled as her orgasm ripped through her body. She rolled off Ted and laid beside him, breathing heavily, a light sheen of sweat covering her body. Ted rolled over onto his side and moved a lock of hair out of Andromeda's face.
"You're so beautiful Dromeda, I love you." He said leaning into kiss her once more.
"I love you too." Andromeda said as they broke apart.
"You should go Dromeda…I will see you later tonight. I will meet you at the safe point. Fedalius Charm has been placed, no one knows but you and I." Ted said rolling over and sitting up.
"I hope that it is strong enough. I did my best. Whatever happens, I love you Ted. Forever." Andromeda said as she placed a cleansing charm over her body and got dressed.
"Forever." He repeated as he watched her walk into the front yard, turn on the spot, and vanish.
