Bellatrix sits in her room alone. Today is the day Andromeda is meant to marry the Mudblood she abandoned the Blacks for, and Bella can't help but think that it was a wasted opportunity for her sister to have left everything she had behind over him.
Part of her tries to convince her that Andi is happy, and that should count for something, but Bellatrix can't help but wish to return to her childhood days where Andromeda and her were still close, still together.
None of the Blacks were invited to Andromeda's wedding, not that they would've gone if they had been. But that didn't stop Bella from thinking of nothing but her estranged sister.

Andromeda looks at the letter she received from her sister nearly a week ago. It's her wedding day, she shouldn't be dwelling on Bellatrix now. She had left the Black family far behind, and she can't say she regrets the decision.
Andi,
It's not too late to come back. Don't throw your life away for him. Mother and Father will still let you back if you come soon.
Don't wait until it's too late. I've got your best interests at heart.
Please.
-Bella
For a brief moment, Andromeda considers how her life would continue to play out if she were to leave Ted and return to her comfortable life, but no matter how much she cares for her sister, she can't replace Andromeda's fiancé.

Andromeda walks down the aisle, no father to escort her. It's a small wedding, only their closest friends and Ted's family were invited. She forgets the drama with her family and Bellatrix's pleas for her to return to her. All that matters to her now is Ted's beaming face directly before her.
She'd wanted a way out, and she's found a new life to become a part of.
