Perhaps having a three year old and a one year old wasn’t the most ideal situation as a single mother. But Marlene was happy, Maxine was running rings around her in a state of child-like euphoria and Maggie had recently begun babbling short sentences to both Marlene and Maxine and it was wonderful to see her personality develop. Hearing a knock on the door, Marlene shifted Maggie into her right arm as she wrestled with the latch to get it open. Smiling warmly as she heard the voice of her good friend, Andromeda. “Andromeda, hi..” Marlene greeted.

“It’s so good to see you, come on in ” Opening the door for her friend, she laughed quietly.  “Excuse the mess, I wasn’t expecting company…and in the most loving way possible, these two haven’t gave me a minute all morning.” 

Andromeda smiled a gave a wave of her hand, “Don’t worry about the mess. To be honest, with two of them running around, I’m surprised it’s not far worse.” She said with a laugh, remembering times when she had to chase Dora around the house picking up after her. “I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing?” She also wanted to see the girls because she had been missing having her own at home. It was nice to see such sweet children and also a good reminder of why not to have more.

Bellatrix was out once again, trying to find some ingredients she needed for her husband. Rabastan was suffering from his injuries and no matter how many times a healer came to see him, his pain was still there. He was drinking more than he used to for the same reason and  there were times he did not know who she was. He was not the same and the same could be said about her. Her beauty was gone, there were more line on her face along with scars. One of them ran down from her forehead, taking her left eye and her cheek. A nasty hex took her eye and left her in agony for days before she had been able to stand up and look at her reflection in the mirror. She never thought she would see her of all people. “Mrs. Tonks.” Bella replied.

It was odd, staring into the eyes of a woman she had grown up with. She could remember vaguely grabbing Bellatrix’s hand when she was scared, running to her to give her a hug when she had been sorted into the same house. There was a time when Andromeda looked up to the other witch, but that was a lifetime ago. There was also a time when she hated her sister, when they could barely look at one another without spitting insults towards one another. But again, a different time. Now, this woman standing before her, was someone she barely recognized and she was sure the same could be said of herself. “How have you been? It’s been a long time.”

When: 3rd of October 1998 With: @fallenstar-andromeda​

Andy, 

          Childhood nickname got crossed out from the parchment as the blonde took out another, blank one and started again.

Andromeda,

         No. This felt too impersonal. Where Andy had been a nickname the blonde felt she had lost all rights to use, Andromeda seemed cold and dishonest, void of anything genuine. 

         The blonde stared at the third parchment she had gotten out as if it could swallow her ( and everything she had meant to write ) up, like it could be that easy, and then the brunette would read her words and magically understand years ( decades ) of everything Narcissa hadn’t been able to say or think. It felt selfish to write and even more to write “I am so sorry for your loss”. Andromeda’s loss was not Narcissa’s to be sorry for. Narcissa survived, her family ( her current family, not the Blacks. The Blacks were a curse buried and gone ) had survived. They had arguably been on the wrong side of history, but crawled out with everything that they could ( coming on top was the Malfoys’ way ), despite the target they had had on their backs. What right did the blonde have to be sorry, to apologize, to weave pretty and heartfelt words in a letter which would not cover all the years of grievances and coldness between them ? 

         So naturally, when Narcissa apparated near the cottage, she did not expect her sister ( blood relative. Sister felt again far too personal ) to let her in. Still, this felt at least more honest than an owl. She supposed she owed Andromeda honest. The knock on the front door are solemn and quick, far from the melodious rythm of their childhood, but this will have to do. « Andromeda, I — I thought I would stop by for tea. » Words seemed oversimple on her tongue, but she was not about to open herself up to her older sister in front of her house, with the fall wind doing a job at unleashing strands of hair from her updo. Blue eyes try to look further inside the home as if this would help receiving an invitation. 

Andromeda had just gotten Teddy down for a nap, finding herself quite exhausted. She hadn’t planned on taking care of a child at her age. She was supposed to get to be his grandmother, to spoil the boy and then send him on his way with his parents. But his parents, her daughter, was gone. All that remained was their son and Andromeda once again had to be a parent. He was beginning to look so much like Nymphandora that it made her heart both soar and break.

She hadn’t been expecting company. Very few people stopped by, nowadays. At first when the war had just ended and she had lost so much - husband, daughter, friends - people had come nearly everyday. It honestly had drove her a bit crazy, she understood it, but she could take care of herself. She had to.

Nonetheless, she moved to the door, passing the walls filled with pictures. She was surprised to see Narcissa Malfoy on the other side and she was sure the expression she wore showed it. After taking a moment to stare and to comprehend that she was actually seeing her sister in front of her, she moved aside with a nod. “Sure. Come in, I will put a kettle on for us.” As her sister moved past her and she pushed the door closed, she realized that this was the first time the other had ever been to her home. “We can sit in the kitchen.” She moved forward, allowing Narcissa to follow her, trying to figure out what she was doing here in the first place.

It had been incredibly hard to wave their daughter off and watch the train pull out of the station. Sure, they had eleven years of preparing for it but it certainly hadn’t left him ready to go home without her. A few tears had escaped once it was gone but that had been it, sweet murmurings and gently hugging Andromeda had been the most he could manage until he got home. “I don’t know,” Ted sighed and settled down beside her. He draped an arm over Andromeda’s shoulder. “We could always try for another one.” There was a brief pause then Ted winced and shook his head. “On second thought, maybe not. I would hate to hear the bickering about why they couldn’t be a metamorphmagus if our next one came out properly looking like us.”

Andromeda knew she was being a tad ridiculous, but she couldn’t help it. Her baby was gone, well for the time being she was. She wasn’t sure what she was going to do around the house with Dora not being there to keep her company. It was silly and she was sure every parent went through this, but it would definitely take some time to adjust. She snuggled herself into her husband’s side, allowing herself a brief moment to think over the idea of having another child. He was right, though, it was not a good idea. “Plus, I really don’t know if I could handle another terrible twos phase. I don’t think I have that sort of energy, anymore.” She gave him a small smile, “Looks like it’s just you and me, my love. You think you can handle that?”

Andromeda wasn’t sure how to react to seeing her sister - former sister - in front of her. So much had happened, they had both lost so much. Andy wasn’t the same person she had been the last time she had laid eyes on Bellatrix. She had lost far too much. Her daughter, her husband, her son-in-law. She tried to be strong, she had to be for Teddy. The last living person she had to hold onto. She had lost her friend, her family and while many had rejoiced after the war, she had not found it in her to be happy. She was a shell of the former witch she had once been, but staring into the eyes of someone she had once loved, she could tell that emptiness had also consumed the other witch. “Bellatrix.” She spoke in nothing more than a whisper.

Andromeda knew it was silly and cliche to be upset when your children left to gain their education, but she couldn’t help it. Her and Ted had just seen Dora off, watching her little hand wave goodbye from the window of the Hogwarts Express had sent Andromeda into a fit of tears that had yet to cease. “What are we going to do without our baby here everyday?” She looked over to Ted, as she plopped herself down on the sofa. He was handling it surprisingly well and she felt like she was being hysterical.

Location: Marlene’s Place

Date: Sometime after the babies are born. 

Being a mother was hard enough at times, even with only one child. Andy couldn’t imagine having multiple and having to do it alone. She had more respect for Marlene than she could ever put in words, but everyone needed help at times. Though, the younger witch had not asked for it, Andy was going to offer. Knocking on the door, she smiled when she heard the sound of little feet moving about. “Mar, it’s just me. Andromeda.”

amelia-lia-bones‌:

Amelia returned Andromeda’s hug gratefully, giving her friend a good squeeze before releasing her and stepping back to look at her. Andromeda looked…tired. Alice had mentioned that Andromeda had also consumed some of the poison at the ball, though not enough to end up in the hospital like Alice had been. Amelia was a little surprised to see her friend back at work, though she supposed that she really shouldn’t be. Andromeda took her work as a healer seriously, and with how busy it was these days, St. Mungo’s probably couldn’t afford to be down even one healer.

“I’m doing pretty well. I was just visiting Alice,” she said, pointing at the door behind her. “Which I’m sure you could have guessed.” She laughed, then tilted her head to the side. “How are you? I heard you got some of the poison too.” Her brow crinkled with a worried look. 

Amelia was definitely a welcome sight to see, it gave her an immediate little boost in her mood. With everything going on, they had both been too busy to get together very often. But, Amelia was and had always been someone that Andy could be herself around. She nodded her head with a smile at the mention of Alice, that was also who she had been on the way to see. “How is the patient doing?” She had been so worried when she had heard how bad Alice had gotten, but things seemed to be improving quite well. “If I’m being honest, I’m a bit tired, more rundown than usual.” She had known that was probably going to be the case though when she decided to come in. “It could’ve been a lot worse, so I’m grateful for that.” She had been truly terrified at the ball, not for herself but for those around her that she saw suffering. “I’m so glad you didn’t consume any. Have they found out anything, yet?”

          Little feet made the utmost effort to not be heard through the old house, toes softly probing the floor to make sure it would not make a sound that might give her away. This was a very careful dance that Narcissa had been used to doing since as soon as she can remember. Well, as soon as she discovered the stars and understood their tight relation to everyone in her family ( everyone but her, stuck as the innocent flower in the middle of a whole universe ). The night sky had fascinated her since then but, most of all, it was the moments where she could convince her sisters to join her which were all the more joyful ( happiness, pure and simple ). This was hardly the last summer they would be doing this, she knew, but this was the last summer before her very first year at Hogwarts, and somehow that felt significant. ( Oh, how she had longed to go to Hogwarts. Seeing Andy go last autumn had been hard in a lot of ways, but now it was her turn. )

         Slim hands softly knock on the bedroom doors of both her sisters with bated breath, as if the end result would be anything other than them indulging her in a nightly astronomy lesson. « Andy ? Bella ? Are you up ? » Little voice was barely above a whisper. And then it dawned on her that, from her place standing in the hallway, there was no chance her voice would carry to both their doors. So she went and knocked again. « Andy ? » And again, « Bella ? » A careful glance was sent in the direction any of their parents was most likely to come from. « The night sky is so clear. » Please be up, please be up, please be up. It wouldn’t be nearly as nice ( lonelier ) to go on her own.

Bella often read a chapter of two of her novels before going to bed. It was a habit she inherited from her mother and often listened to her father complain that she did not let him sleep because the night was on until dark, but reading made her leave the house, her own bed to explore different worlds that probably were not even real, as muggles often said about magic. They also read fantasy books but they were stupid enough to dismiss them as the silly words of a writer to make money. With a sigh, she closed the book and left it on her night table. Then she stood up, put on her sleepers and left her room to go to the kitchen to have a drink of water. The house was quiet and her parents were already asleep, at least her father if her mother was reading the new book that her owl brought her that afternoon, so as quietly as she could manage, she walked down the stairs without making a sound. Once she was ready, she licked her lips and put the glass back where it belonged.

Going upstairs was going to be difficult because the stairs creaked in a particular place so being as gentle as she could, she put her foot down, smirking when it did not make any sound and continuned on her way to her room when she saw none other than her sister Narcissa outside her and Andy’s door. Smiling, Bella walked behind her and covered Cissy’s eyes with her hands. “Well, well,” she said. “I found a little mouse sneaking through the hall. What shall I do with it, huh?” Bella said with a smirk.

Andromeda spent most of her evenings writing letters to the friends she had made at Hogwarts underneath the dim light of a burning candle. She had been both terrified and excited to go off to the school last year. Scared that she would hate it, that she might not fit in (or worse that she might end up in any other house than Slytherin and be this disappointment of the family). But, she had been pleasantly surprised during her time there. Not only had she made it into Slytherin (she had sat nervously wondering why the Sorting Hate seemed to be taking too many moments to ponder), but she had made a great deal of friends. It had surely helped that Bellatrix was already there and she was sure had forewarned everyone not to mess with her little sister.

She was nearly falling asleep as her hand glided the feathered quill along the parchment. Eyes drooping down, until she thought she heard a faint sound of a gentle knock. She perked her head up, willing herself to listen, but shook her head assuming she must’ve been hearing things. She stood from her chair and blew the candle out just as she heard another knock and the mention of her name from outside the door. Andy overheard more hushed voices as she neared her door, opening it up to reveal her sisters. “Shall we inform Mother and Father?” Andromeda teased, looking over to Narcissa and giving her the faintest wink.

6. Does your muse believe in an afterlife?

Andromeda does believe in an afterlife. If she didn’t, she isn’t sure how she would cope with all of the things going on around her.

[fallenstar-andromeda]

11. Would your muse kill for someone they care about?

She hopes she never has to, but yes, if it came down to protecting someone she loves, Andy would kill someone.

Despite them still being alive, Andy would wish to speak to her sisters. Truly speak to them, without the threats and animosity.

She stills loves them, no matter what happens, there is a part of her that always will.

[fallenstar-andromeda]

7. How many scars does your muse have?

None that are very noticeable. She has a small one on her wrist from attempting to learn to cook when her and Ted first got together. Most of the others are just from playing around as a child.
