Notes: N/A
Andromeda wandered around the family home in a daze. She was wearing a silly smile on her face and was completely oblivious to the surrounding world. She met a man today, one who was extremely funny and kind. She felt like a school girl with her first crush, it was exhilarating. The man made her heart beat fast and she only spoke to him for a few minutes. It was a surreal feeling.
"What are you smiling about?"
Andromeda turned around to face her older sister. Bellatrix was wearing an ugly sneer on her face that automatically put Andromeda on the defensive. "Nothing, why do you care anyway?"
Bellatrix, although completely psychotic, was not stupid. She heard the defensive tone and, correctly, assumed Andromeda was hiding something. "Now, dear, don't be like that. I'm your older sister; it's my job to care."
Andromeda raised a disbelieving eyebrow and turned away from her sister. She would not be intimidated by her, older sister or not. She wasn't a child anymore. Walking into the library and sitting in the chair next to the cherub statue that her mother liked so much, Andromeda ignored her sister easily.
Bellatrix huffed and turned away, she knew when to back off. She would try again tomorrow.
Andromeda pulled out the small piece of paper that the man gave to her. He was completely dreamy and perfect and wonderful. She would contact him tomorrow; maybe organise to meet up again. It was just a shame he was a muggle, it would be hard to disappear without being missed by her family. She would try though; she couldn't bare the thought of never seeing him again. She could already feel herself falling in love, no matter what her family thought.
