A/N Virtual Cookie to ksmith092! Yes, the vows were from Corpse Bride. I was watching it the day I wrote that chapter. There is also a reference in this one two. See if you can find it! Also, I managed to fit a little Bellatrix in for you, Booklooker. If you didn't notice, I changed the title and summary. Wasn't too fond of the other ones. This is Andromeda Black: Death Eater though!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

The reception went smashingly. Andromeda and Ted made their way around the hall, greeting and thanking their guests for making an appearance.

"I'm glad she gave us a seperate table. I would've slit someone's throat." Cygnus muttered as he took another gulp of Polyjuice potion from his flask.

"At least you can chew..." She whined, throwing the current food off of her fork, slamming her elbows on the table, and laying her head into the heel of her palm.

Cygnus chuckled as his wife. Patting the top of her head teasingly, he turned to see Andromeda and Ted by the table next to them. He took Ted in. Whatever the strange man he was speaking to was saying must've been rather taxing, Cygnus noticed, his tongue was protruding ever so slightly from the corner of his mouth. The hallmark expression of deep concentration.

He glanced over at his daughter, sitting primly next to the man's wife. She was making conversation, something she had pounded in her head at a very small age. She had a napkin in her lap and elbows off the table, unlike his wife at the moment. He chuckled to himself again.

"What is so amusing? Do enlighten me." Druella pouted.

"It seems our daughter has more class than you, dear." He laughed.

Druella frowned and looked towards Andromeda. "What?"

"Elbows, dear. Off the table." Her eyes narrowed and she snarled. Cygnus was taken aback, "Sorry." He muttered.

"Hello? Do I know you two?" They looked up to see the Tonks boy and Andromeda standing over their table.

Cygnus was about to explain, but Andromeda cut in. "They're actually my family. This is my, uh, Uncle Herbert," She said indicating to Cygnus. "And my Aunt... Joan."

Druella smiled without showing her teeth, respecting her daughter's wishes.

"It's an honor to meet someone from Andromeda's family. I'm sure you've noticed they're not present. They don't exactly approve of me." Ted said in one breath.

They nodded knowingly. Ted's eyes widened, and he mumbled something about seeing his mother as he took off in the other direction. Cygnus shook his head.

"Not the brightest young man, is he?"

Andromeda laughed and sat down opposite of them. "He's not."

"I've a question. What in Merlin's sweet name, is a Herbert and Joan?" He asked exasperated.

Andromeda laughed. "They're Muggle names. Something I heard on that tellybox on some sort of Game Show thing." She said confused. "Just in the heat of the moment. It was the only Muggle names I knew."

Druella frowned. "Andromeda. Fasten your corsets properly. I can hear you speak without gasping!" She said harshly. Cygnus grinned at the two."?

"Mother," Andromeda moved closer to them. "I'm pregnant. I can't make them any tighter than they already are." She whispered.

"Well, that's what you get for being pregnant at your wedding." Andromeda rolled her eyes. "I fastened my corsets properly through all three of my pregnancies."

Andromeda chuckled. "Yes, and look how well that turned out. One is on the brim of insanity, the other," She pointed a finger to herself, "Is married to a Mudblood and is considered a Blood-Traitor, and the youngest is to marry mother's ex boyfriend's son." Andromeda smirked, quite proud of herself.

"Mmmmhmmm."

"Druella? Drink your Polyjuice. You haven't took a sip in quite a while." Druella nodded as she saw her fingers beginning to lose their wrinkles. She grabbed her own flask and downed it quickly in panic.

Cygnus sighed. "Did you just finish that?"

She nodded as she swallowed. "Don't worry. That'll last a while."

Andromeda smiled at the both of them and stood up. "I've got to find Ted. Tell Rabastan I said hello." She began to walk away, but turned on her heel. "By the way, get out you two." She said for the second time that day.

"Heh," Bellatrix chuckled. "Looks like dearest Andromeda was married last week." Bellatrix shook her head and threw the Daily Prophet on the coffee table.

If anything, Bellatrix expected Rodolphus to respond. She frowned. He wasn't one to ignore her. Most of the time, he worshipped her like she worshipped the Dark Lord.

Rodolphus was sitting on the end of the sofa nearest to Bellatrix, head bent over the book that lay flat in his lap, his bad ankle propped up on a footstool in front of him, leaning his elbow against the sofa's armrest and resting his chin on his hand. He seemed quite content.

"How'd you hurt your ankle again, Rod?" Her father asked him.

At the sound of his Father-in-law's voice, Rodolphus immediately looked up from his book. He cleared his throat, "Well, that raid we went on. It seems as if someone told the Aurors. There were triple the amount of aurors that there were us. It was absolutely mad. One of the spells caught my ankle. Still don't know what hit me though."

Bellatrix frowned a bit. Of course he'd respond to her father. She leaned her head back against the chair. He completely ignored her. He'd been doing that for quite some time now.

"Well, dear. It was nice of you to invite us over." Her mother smiled as she came over to kiss her cheeks and handed her tea cups to the House Elf.

"You can let yourselves out." She muttered.

Rabastan cleared his throat, "I'll take you out." He smiled slightly and trailed behind Bellatrix's parents.

Bellatrix then looked across the way at Rodolphus, her head tilted to one side in contemplation. He looked lovely, there in the firelight. He looked...serene. To her, he looked no different than he had that first time they'd sat across from one another in front of a fireplace. When they'd first shared their declarations of love. Bellatrix blinked slowly, trying to work this image of Rodolphus into the one that was ignoring her. And ignorant over what, exactly?

"You're ignoring me." She stated with no emotion.

"If you could call it that." He muttered, never looking up from his book.

Bellatrix clenched her jaw until she finally frowned. "Put away that blasted book, and talk to me!" She demanded harshly.

He sighed and looked up. "If you must know, I was trying to find the spell that did this," He patted his ankle, "To me." He leaned back, eyes locking with hers.

"Why are you ignoring me? I want an answer."

"Bella," He dug the heel of his palms into his forehead. "You don't need my attention. Go off to your little Dark Lord."

"Don't you dare insult the Dark Lord in my pres-"

"I wasn't." He cut her off. "Bella," he blinked, "If anything, I'm the one being ignored. Not you."

"Well, how can I make it up to you?" She asked.

"You can shut your fucking mouth." She chuckled a bit as he smiled.

"Well aren't you two cute." Rabastan laughed as he flopped himself on the couch again. "Your parents are gone."

"Thank heavens."

Rabastan smiled. Bellatrix closed her eyes for a moment to just relax. She breathed a sigh. She could do for just some relaxation time. There was never time in her schedule though.

Bellatrix opened her eyes. She was going to retire to bed, but took in the scene in front of her. Rabastan was sitting on the other end of the sofa, dangling a bit of string in front of a sleepy-looking Jinff. Jinff, as Bellatrix had christened him, was the family cat-and was well past his days of being excited by dangling string. Nowadays, Jinff was far from the skinny little kitten Bellatrix had found outside the cannery nine years ago. Now, he was a fat, old, contented housecat that left the house about as often as Rabastan did. Which is to say, rarely. Bellatrix smiled faintly as he watched the cat give a half-hearted swipe at the string. "I'm going to bed. Make sure that cat eats. It's quite persnickety."

Rodolphus laughed, "Persnikety, Bella? Really?"

"It's a picky cat, thank you very much." She pouted. "Now, I'm going to bed."

Bellatrix walked in front of Rodolphus's bad ankle and leaned toward him, dangerously close. "Don't ignore me."

He winked and smirked right back up at her. "Don't wait up."

A/N Felt like leaving it at that, sorry. I'm on an updating spree. I was sure I was going to put this up tomorrow, but I was really bored today, so... Yeah. This chapter wasnt very long, my apologies. I'll try to lengthen it out next time. No promises though. Review!
