Andromeda was nervous. She twisted the diamond ring on her left ring finger around and around. She had decided to tell her sisters about her engagement to Ted. She walked in the room where they were sitting. "I'm getting married." They went over to hug her. "Congrats!" said Narcissa, her eyes wide. Bellatrix frowned. "Who is he?" "Ted Tonks." "Haven't heard of him. Pureblood, right?" "Um. . . no, actually he's muggleborn." Bellatrix stepped back. "You're getting married to a mudblood!" Andromeda's lip quivered as she nodded. Bellatrix snorted in disgust and left. Narcissa narrowed her eyes at Andromeda. "How could you do this to our family? Our parents? Us? As far as I'm concerned, you're no longer a part of this family. Leave. Now!" Andromeda fought back tears as she ran out of the house.
Andromeda's wedding with Ted was small and lovely. All of Ted's family was there, happy. Andromeda sighed and tried to forget about her family. One night, Andromeda saw a wedding being put on. She went over and saw Bellatrix and Rodolphus. They were getting married. Andromeda frowned and headed home. Later, Andromeda picked up a paper with the heading, A Dark Lord Has Risen! Under the list of "Death Eaters", Andromeda saw Bellatrix's name and picture. Sighing, she put the paper down. Andromeda had seen her little sister, Narcissa, get married to Lucius earlier.
Bellatrix had no thoughts of letting Andromeda back into their family. Andromeda was not her sister, she was a traitor and unclean.
Andromeda felt guilty for destroying her family, but she knew she shouldn't have given up her relationship with Ted.
Narcissa felt a little sad about Andromeda, yet she faithfully followed her husband. After the Second Wizarding War, Narcissa knew that no amount of pleading could make Andromeda forgive her.
