I Won't Give Up: Chapter 10
Sorry that I skipped a lot of the summer holiday guys. And sorry it took me centuries to update.
And sorry (so many apologies!) that is super short!
Anyways, hope you like(:

"I can't believe it, guys," Athena said on the train ride home. "We just finished our third year."
"That means," Serena said, sitting up straighter in her seat. "We're almost halfway through with our education at Hogwarts."
"Don't remind me!" Andromeda squeaked.
"We still have four years to go."
"Well, just don't mention graduation. Bella's almost there and I still haven't accepted that yet."
"Why not?"
"I just... don't want to lose my sister. That's all."
The Hogwarts Express pulled into King's Cross Station mid-afternoon. People were bustling about to get in their last goodbyes.
"I'm going to miss you both!" Andromeda said as she hugged her two best friends.
"We'll miss you too," Serena said.
"We'll write," Athena promised.
"And have fun at the World Cup," Andromeda said with a smile.
"Oh, you can bet on that." Serena grinned.
"Andromeda!"
She looked up to see her mother calling her name. Standing with her was her father and her sisters.
"Alright. I'll see you guys in a few months," she said before she ran off to meet her family.
'Dear Ted,
The summer has been great so far.
Mum still doesn't like Bella playing Quidditch but she's come to terms with it so Bella practices in the yard sometimes. She's even, secretly, teaching me to ride a broom. It's so amazing! I love the feeling of freedom it gives me.
How's your summer holiday been?
Gotten a crack on the homework yet?
Much love, Andromeda'
Andromeda folded up the parchment, signed it to Rabastan Lestrange, and gave it to her owl Clara.
"Take this to Ted," she told her.
Clara nibbled her finger affectionately before taking the letter and flying out the open window.

"Happy birthday, 'Dromeda!"
Narcissa woke up Andromeda early the next morning with a big hug and a small wrapped box.
"Well you seem more excited about my birthday than I do."
"Go on! Open it," Narcissa said, squealing.
Andromeda took the wrapping off of the small package and saw a beautiful silver, oval locket with a symbol on it. The symbol was sort of a triangular eye; a circle inside a triangle with a line running through it vertically.
"It's beautiful, Cissy," Andromeda said, looking at the locket with interest.
"I picked it out," Bellatrix said from the doorway.
"You helped pick it out," Narcissa said defensively.
"Thanks," Andromeda said to the both of them. "I love it."

'Dear Andy,
Summer has been good. I have not even touched my homework yet! Why would I go near it with a month and a half still left of holiday?
I am really glad you like flying. Maybe we can do a lot of it when school starts again.
I miss you!
Ted'
