Where: Astronomy Tower, Hogwarts

When: Friday, After Augusta Longbottom’s arrival

Who: Andromeda and open

When she’d been at Hogwarts Andromeda had always come up to the Astronomy tower when she’d wanted to think. She supposed she felt some sort of connection to it considering how her family enjoyed constellations and the like. Since the Tonks’ had come back to Hogwarts, she had found herself spending a lot of time up in the Astronomy tower. It was sometimes quiet up here, and she felt like she could escape. The last week had been tiring. So much had happened, and she really had not processed much of it yet. She was just tired, and was wondering if all of his was going to be worth it.

Hearing some footsteps, she glanced behind her, and smiled at the person that had come into the room. “Trying to find a quiet spot too?”

at: the great hall dated: january 19th post vigil.  tagging: open

 the  vigil  was  beautiful  with  the  twinkling  lights  that  came  from  candles  and  wand  reflecting  off  the  pure  white  snow  that  had  only  just  begun  to  be  trampled  underfoot  by  hogwarts’  many  residents.  emma  spent  most  of  the  night  gripping  her  brothers  hand  tightly,  not  wanting  to  let  him  go.  but  a  certain  time  came  when  she  knew  she  had  to  go  and  do  her  rounds  and  make  sure  the  castle  was  still  secure.  so  she  had  disappeared  from  the  solemn  activities  of  the  night  to  do  her  section  of  the  patrol.

 no  sign  of  danger,  but  you  could  never  be  too  careful.  

 emma  is  cold  again  when  she  gets  back  to  the  castle  and  finds  that  everybody  who  has  lingered  has  gone  inside  to  eat  the  food  that  albus  dumbledore  is  offering  to  them.  she  follows  and  tries  to  find  a  familiar  face  before  she  takes  a  seat.  "how  are  you  holding  up?“  is  the  question  she  asks,  though  it  seems  like  everybody  is  asking  that  tonight.

It had been a rough couple of days. Attacks that targeted the muggles and the muggleborns just hit differently now. She knew it was because she knew members of her own family would target Ted if they could. It hit far too close to home, and it made her worry. She always tried to put on a brave face, but the closer things got to Hogwarts, the more she got worried. She trusted Dumbledore, mostly, but she always worried that one day they might get through the barriers. And then it would be absolutely chaos.

The vigil was cute, but she honestly didn’t know how it was going to help. Remembering the dead was good, but at this rate there would be nobody left to do the remembering. But, she supposed if it helped them build moral, then maybe it would be good. 

She had been thinking to herself when she heard a voice. She looked up, and smiled at Emma. “Hi...” Andromeda murmured, a small smile on her lips. “Better than some I suppose....” She mused with a shrug. “How about you?”

Ted & Open January 17th, 1984 - Second Greenhouse, afternoon

“Shit,” The curse word left Ted’s lips before he could stop it, and he abruptly waved his left hand around to get rid of the sting that accompanied nicking his finger. A cautious look was thrown toward where Nymphadora was digging into an empty pot of dirt. There was a beat of silence, then he sighed, relieved no echoing “shit” or threat of telling Andromeda he swore accompanied his slip up.

“Dora, we -” The rest of his thought hung in the air, interrupted by realizing they were no longer alone in the space. “Are just about through,” He shifted his attention to the other adult in the room, head tilting in the direction of Nymphadora in silent warning that he wasn’t willing to discuss anything while she was present. “The most recent asphodel cuttings will need to hang dry before being put to use. ”

---

Andromeda would not describe herself as a controlling person, and she mostly let Ted get on with things when he was looking after their daughter. It allowed her to have a little freedom, and actually get some things done. But when they’d been gone for  a good portion of the day, and not reappeared for lunch, well she got a little concerned, and so had gone to find them. She knew they’d been in the greenhouses, so that was where she had headed, a box of cookies tucked under her arm. She had a feeling Ted might have forgotten lunch, and so, had brought supplies.

“I’m looking my husband not a job.” She teased, a little smirk on her lips, as she bypassed Ted to go greet her daughter instead. She gave Dora a hug, before looking back to her husband. “You’ve been out here a long time dear.”

–– is that naomi scott? no, its actually andromeda “andy” tonks according to her old hogwarts records, they are an thirty year old former slytherin they are back at hogwarts because they are working against lord voldemort and they believe in the light. that explains why they are so loyal and determined. but i’ve found that they can also be fearful and impulsive, so i guess people can’t be all good! they always reminded me of long walks in the woods, coffee with lots of cream, and reading old books whilst cuddling into an armchair by the fire . i heard from albus dumbledore that they are currently working as healer. let’s hope that they have time to fight the dark alongside their work

BIOGRAPHICAL POINTS

Andromeda is the middle Black sister. Her parents weren’t overly loving, but that didn’t matter to her too much. The three Black sisters were closer than anything and a force to be reopened with. There was, and is, nobody she loves more than her sisters

Andromeda grew up in an extremely pureblood elitist family. And she believed that was right for a long time. It wasn’t until a few years after she graduated Hogwarts that she really decided that she didn’t really believe in that way anymore.

Even when she got Hogwarts, and was exposed to more halfblood and muggleborns, it didn’t change her opinion that much. Or well, it didn’t change her opinion enough to make her want to do anything about it.

Of course, she rebelled a little. She talked to people she shouldn’t have been talking too. She flirted and got close to those she shouldn’t have. But, never anything that would cause a huge scandal.

Until she met Ted Tonks. it is very likely that if it hadn’t been for him that she wouldn’t have left her family. 

it had been a huge decision. Family was so important to her. But so was Ted. And Andy had decided that if her family couldn’t accept Ted, then there was something wrong with them. They’d either have to accept him, or lose her.

it appeared though that she wasn’t as important to them as she thought, because they didn’t exactly fight for her. And so, she left. 

Andromeda trained as a healer when she left Hogwarts, and she enjoyed working at St Mungos. but when the Wizarding World fell, and Voldemort took over, she feared that she, and her family would no longer be safe in that environment. And so she left her job. She now works as a personal life for the Order of the Phoenix. 

She longs for a life where they finally get rid of Voldemort, and they don’t have to hide forever. Some people say it’s never going to happen, but Andy won’t give up hope.
