ANDROMEDA BLACK
Bellatrix had been her favorite sister…Cissy whined too much and she was very vain. Then, Cissy found out she was dating and Ted and she didn't say anything. When Bellatrix found out, she tried to kill him. Cissy replaced Bella after that.
Andromeda too had once believed in the blood purity and then her Uncle Alphard told her about Gabrielle. She had almost warmed up to muggleborns but then she met Ted and he reinforced her old beliefs.
Ted would be everywhere she was. He was like her shadow, that puppy that followed you home. She knew he was just trying to be her friend, but she grew so frustrated one day that she jinxed him to bang his head continually on the wall. When Professor Dumbledore found him, Ted lied and said that Bella had done it. Andromeda was too shocked to tell him the truth.
Andromeda was horrified to find out that Ted was a prefect too. Would she ever be able to get away from him? Later, she discovered she enjoyed patrolling with him and that she may just be able to call him a friend. She couldn't help but smile because he was funny, or laugh because he was clumsy (what was happening to her? Had he slipped her something?).
As she packed her suitcase that fateful night, she thought back to the day she had met Ted. She would have never been able to tell that she would one day fall in love with him, let alone runaway from home so she could be with him. Her parents would be furious. They had always told everyone she was the perfect daughter; Slytherin, intelligent, sane, Prefect, modest, engaged to pureblood Lucius Malfoy. She smiled sadly as she slipped off Lucius' engagement ring. She didn't want to hurt him. He really did care about her, but he couldn't give her what Ted could. He couldn't love her the way Ted could. She placed it on top of a letter to her parents and then she left.
No one, not even her parents knew she was a Metamorphmagus…that is until Ted caught her making faces in the mirror when she was bored.
Nymphadora was a miracle. She shouldn't have been born at all. She shouldn't have existed since Andromeda's aunt hit her with a sterilizing spell. She was born two months early, but she was still all Andromeda could ask for.
Andromeda was horrified when Sirius was arrested. She had seen him with his friends. James meant more to him than Regulus ever had, he wouldn't have killed him. He would never have joined Voldemort either, he would have died before then, so why were they imprisoning him? Then he escaped and Andromeda couldn't have been more proud of him. He set a record there. Then Bellatrix killed him and she wept with her daughter. Bellatrix would pay.
It was not that she disliked Remus; Sirius had spoken very highly of him. She knew he was a sweet man and that he really did love Nymphadora, but he was just too old for her. Andromeda changed her mind when she saw how young he seemed when Teddy was born.
Bellatrix had taken Sirius, Ted, and Nymphadora from her. When she found out that Bellatrix was dead she could have kissed Molly (but that would have been awkward).
