The walk back to the castle should have only taken two minutes. But Andromeda didn't want to take two minutes walking back. She wanted to meander, go slowly. There would be plenty of time to get back to the castle. She walked around Black Lake, watched the squid for a minute.

"Andi?" She sighed looking up.

"Yes?"

"Where the hell have you been, lollygagging again? This is important! Father owled all of us, he wanted to make sure you didn't wander off again."

"I don't want to date him, I don't want to spend time with him. He likes to kill things Narcissa. He'd kill people if he could get away with it. He scares me."

"I'm sure he's fine once you get to know him," Narcissa stated. Andromeda shook her head.

"I've tried. He and Bella seem like they'd be a better pair. She actually loves him. I...Narcissa, can you keep a secret?"

"Is it why you wander aimlessly around the grounds trying to avoid me, Bella, our common room?"

"Partually. Cissy, I met someone." Narcissa smiled shaking her head.

"You know that's not how it works in this family, Andi."

"I know, but...I think, I think I love him," Andromeda whispered looking at the ground.

"Andi...who is he?"

"Ted Tonks...he's a muggle-born."

"I know who he is...not bad looking. Father's going to disown you."

"I know...I don't believe his ideals anyway." Narcissa nodded slowly.

"Andi, it doesn't matter what happens, I love you, you know that."

"I know, Cissy. Ted and I are going run away, right after graduation, do I have your word you won't tell Father?"

"You have my word, Andi."

"You won't breathe a word of this to Bella."

"Do I look like I'm insane? Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll decide to go after McNair...free you from it completely."

"We won't be that lucky. We'd better head back to the castle before people start wondering where we are." Narcissa nodded as the sisters slowly started walking back to the castle. Narcissa wondering if Andi would really go through with running away or if she'd come to her senses and stay family.
