I.
Andromeda never sneers at your love for Muggles. She only silences your ramblings of equality and education with a kiss.
"It's cute, your way of thinking," she says. "But it's dangerous."
"I'll risk it."
She shakes her head, taking your hand. "You can't, Charity. If anything were to happen to you-"
It's your turn to silence her fears with a touch of your lips. "It'll take a hell of a lot more than Slytherin scare tactics to shut me up."
Andromeda laughs. "You brave fool."
II.
You suppose it's ironic that she ends up with a man of Muggle birth. But Ted knows how to keep his head down and his mouth shut. He can keep her safer than you ever could.
III.
Dangling over the Death Eaters, you're beginning to wonder if Andromeda had been right all along. Perhaps her brave fool should have stayed silent. Perhaps her brave fool should have been smart.
"Severus, please..."
You wish Andromeda could hold you now. You wish you could tell her that you forgive her for choosing Ted in the end.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A flash of green. Too late, too late.
