Hey everyone. This story was written for Fortnightly Challenges Thread's Leaf Pile Challenge. I used the prompt for Brown (actions) Kissing. This is another chapter of the Little Moments drabbles. I hope you all enjoy Betrayal.
Bellatrix felt a surge of anger at what she was seeing in front of her. Hadn't she helped her mother raise Andromeda to know better than to interact with Muggle-born like that Ted Tonks. She crept closer so that she could hear what the two were saying to each other. Maybe she had misread the situation and her sister Andy was telling the Muggle-born scum to leave her alone.
"What's the matter, Andy?" she heard Tonks ask her sister.
"You know perfectly well what the matter is, Teddy," was Andromeda's quick response. "We can't keep doing this. You know how my family feel about Muggles and Muggle-borns."
"But what about how you feel for me?"
"Teddy," Andromeda sighed as though pained, "if I thought there was a chance of convincing my parents that we'd great for each other I would. Don't you think I want to tell them about us? Don't you think I want to tell my sisters?" Bellatrix could see Andromeda fidgeting with her hands nervously. "My sister Bellatrix would kill me if she knew I was secretly dating a Muggle-born."
"Then try to change her mind about us?" came the Tonks boy's voice. "Tell her that Muggle-borns are no different than Pure-bloods or Half-bloods. Tell her how happy we make each other."
"It won't matter to her, Teddy," another sad sigh escaped Andromeda's mouth causing Bellatrix's anger to swell yet again. "She has had it ingrained in her mind that all of us must make nice Pure-blood matches and nothing will change her mind on that fact. Not even you."
"Then we'll run away, Andy," the horrible Tonks boy proposed. "After this year at Hogwarts we'll run away and be married. They won't be able to say anything about it afterwards because the deed will already be done. What do you say, dear?"
Yet another sad sigh sounded from not far away and Bellatrix was hoping that Andy would say no. She was hoping against hope that the answer would always be no.
"Okay," came Andromeda's voice.
Bellatrix felt like throwing up as she heard the sounds of kissing from the direction the blood traitor that used to be her sister and the vile Tonks boy were. She whirled on her heel and stalked away to write a quick note about this to her mother. Someone had to let their mother know of Andy's betrayal she thought as she stalked off. She could already pick Mother blasting Andy off the family tapestry now. Deep down it made her sad but it had to be done.
I hope you all enjoyed Betrayal.
