🕑 Added 2022-05-28 06:01:19 +0000 UTCChapter 19- Andromeda
Andromeda smiled softly at the little infant in her arms. She cooed at the baby when she smiled back at her mother. Little Nymphadora was born six months ago and Andromeda had never been happier. She was just like her and her sister. The Black features were very prominent in her daughter. She was more like Bellatrix. The same black hair and the beautiful violet eyes. However she couldn’t really complain after all her sister and herself were extremely alike.
It was tough to differentiate between the two, if not for her brown hair. Other than that, she was blessed with a more curvier figure compared to her sister and was more endowed as well.
She was humming a lullaby to her little princess when she watched the hair color and eyes change to brown. If not for the fact that she was on the bed, she would have dropped her daughter in shock. Her eyes were wide as she saw the little girl change her features slightly. Andromeda’s shock turned into a full blown grin. Her daughter was a metamorphmagus.
She couldn’t be any prouder. Metamorphs have been non-existent in Britain for centuries now. It was a very famous characteristic of the Blacks, who once had a lot of Metamorphs. To learn that her daughter was one in almost three or so centuries, was a very happy thought to Andromeda.
She heard the floo roar and Ted stepped in. The man smiled at Andromeda as he approached her. “How are the two of you doing?” He said as he avoided her eyes. Andromeda frowned slightly.
She was sensing that something was wrong with Ted. He has been behaving extremely weird since the time she announced her pregnancy. He had become distracted. His attention was not on her. She was sure that it was because he was stressed about the arrival of the baby. But that was not the case. Andromeda was not a fool. She could read people as well as Narcissa could. However she just didn’t bother trying. But all the indications pointed that something was the matter with Ted. She tried to get him to talk, but he was detached. She let it be, but his attitude was changing and Andromeda began to suspect the man.
Lately, her mind was extremely clear. It felt like something akin to a huge burden was lifted off her shoulder. Her thoughts were more clear. Her occlumency was more powerful than before. Her eyes had lost a hazy feeling that she had grown accustomed to, for the past couple of years.
She smiled despite that. Perhaps her thoughts were baseless. “Ted…” She muttered.
“You are home early.” The young man nodded. “Something came up, Andi. I won’t be able to come home for two days. I have some work to do. I just came back to inform you and see the two of you.” Ted answered with a shrug.
Andromeda’s smile strained slightly, but she didn’t let it show on her face. Instead she said
“It’s fine, Ted. You are working very hard for our sake. Go on. But come home quickly.” She said sternly.
Ted nodded. He bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead. “I’ll see you soon.” and then promptly left the room.
He once again ignored his own daughter for the umpteenth time. But this time, Andromeda smelt a perfume on him. A perfume that she was unfamiliar with. She would have ignored it as Ted’s new perfume, but this was more feminine and Ted was extremely conscious about these things. He didn’t change those aspects, saying that it was a part of him.
Andromeda stood up and walked to the floo. She waved her wand and began chanting in latin. This was a spell that Harry had taught her and her sisters a long time ago. A spell used to track a person without their knowledge.
She made sure that Nymphadora was safe in her crib and put a few silencing spells and alarm spells to alert her when she woke up. She followed the young man that had just left their house.
She followed him to a secluded outlet, one that the two had frequently used if at all they needed entry into the magical world. She applied a disillusionment charm and followed Ted who walked to a grand hotel. She followed him and a few minutes later, they came to a stop in front of a luxurious suite. Andromeda frowned. What was he doing here?
He opened the door and closed it behind him. Andromeda crept up to the door and tried to hear anything if possible. When there was no sound that could be heard, she muttered a silent ‘alohomora’ and slowly entered the room. This was a huge room. One that reminded her of Harry’s living room or any other room in Peverell Manor for that matter.
She heard the sound of giggling in a nearby room and she followed that noise. She came across a sight that she would never have imagined in the wildest of her dreams. She found Ted kissing a naked girl on the huge four poster bed that was in the center of the room. Andromeda felt her heart plummet when she witnessed Ted cheating on her.
The girl separated from the kiss. “What about that bitch?” She asked. Andromeda recognised her. She was a girl from Ted’s year and she was often seen with him during their Hogwarts days.
“When are you planning on leaving that girl and marrying me, Ted?” The girl asked with a whine.
Ted laughed. “Soon, Eleanor. You know very well that she is strictly just for my entertainment.” He smirked arrogantly Andromeda closed her mouth with her palm to prevent a sob from escaping.
“A few drops of love potion everyday and we have a slave at our hands.” The two chuckled as Ted caressed the girl’s breasts.
“You kept your word, Ted. You made that girl your slave. The poor bitch. She has no idea what she is doing.” The girl giggled.
“What are you going to do about that spawn of hers?” The girl asked. Ted leaned back on the bed, his arms folded under his head.
“What should I do?” He shrugged uncaringly.
“ A few more days and I will throw them out of my house. I guess playtime is over. I should let her and that baby go. We can then move to another one of my properties and get married.” He said and Andromeda couldn’t stem the tears.
“You are not going soft, are you?” Ted snorted in disgust.
“Soft against that bitch and her sisters who used to parade around, thinking themselves better than the rest? No way in hell. It’s just that I grew bored of her.” Ted laughed.
“She is not entertaining anymore.” Ted Tonks smirked. “After all she couldn’t compare to you.”
Andromeda was now overcome with fury. Her tearful eyes made way to one of total vengeance.
Eyes that promised pain and suffering. Eyes that were reminiscent of the Blacks and their famous temper. The legendary magic of the black family, swirling around her body, as she heard all the things that bastard was spouting.
“Hmm….those sisters were truly bitches. Their arrogance and superiority was palpable and I hated that. Many of us hate those three women. I don’t know what Potter saw in any of them.” She muttered and Andromeda had enough.
Her raging magic worked accordingly. She silenced the front door and blasted the door that closed the room. The two of them yelped in fright when they heard an explosion.
The moment Ted saw Andi standing in the doorway, her wand in her hand as she glared furiously at the duo. “You miserable bastard.” She hissed as her wand sent forth a bone breaker towards Ted.
Ted Tonks screamed in pain when the curse impacted his rib cage. Andromeda didn’t bother to even acknowledge the girl. She slashed her wand vertically and the girl was slammed against the wall and was stuck at the same place. Andromeda stood tall in front of Ted.
“You dare….” She hissed and smirked as she saw the boy wince at her tone. “You had the gall to potion me and separate me from my family?” She questioned. Before she knew it, she had thrown a cruciatus curse at the boy.
“You had the gall to potion me and now, you show your true colors, after fucking a baby in me?” She screeched and another cruciatus left her wand.
“Why are you screaming, Ted?” She mocked the boy, her voice coming out just like Bellatrix uses sometimes to tease her. “Is it painful?” She didn’t wait for his reply even though he opened his mouth to speak. She silenced the man and fired another curse at him.
“You raped me for months and now, you are man enough to have an affair after all the attrocities you have committed?” She questioned rhetorically.
“And you..” She rounded off on the woman. “You are a woman. Aren’t you ashamed of getting involved in something like this?” She felt tears form in her eyes but stopped them. These two werent worth showing her weakness to.
“Am I not a woman?” She asked through gritted teeth as she questioned the now ashamed woman.
“How can you know all this and let him do that? And even after knowing all this how do you know he wont do the same thing to you when he finds a new flavor he fancies?” She asked as she stared into the woman’s eyes.
“I know that some women are cruel. My aunt is one of them. But silly me. I really haven’t seen anything in this world.” She muttered sadly. She shook her head and a disgusted look crossed her face as she looked at the woman who still refused to meet her eyes.
Andromeda turned back to Ted. She couldn’t bring herself to see the man’s face. He was a monster. She just stepped back.
“My family might not accept me back, Theodore Tonks. But I know one person who will hear me out. Who will listen to what I have to say? Who will be coming back for blood.” She finished as she cackled maniacally, the events in a way finally catching up to her mentally.
“Yes, Tonks.” Andromeda spat as she enjoyed seeing the writhing man pale beyond possible.
“Harry Potter will come for you and you will certainly not enjoy being on the wrong end of his wand. You just threw your life away.” She giggled, enjoying all of this.
“You will suffer, Ted. You can start praying to every god you know. His mercy will be your quick death.” She replied confidently.
—--&&&-------
Andromeda collapsed on a chair the moment she returned. Now that the anger had drained down, she began to shake in her seat and she started to sob. Anguish rolled off her as she cried for everything that happened to her. She cursed herself for being slack. She cursed herself for falling into this mess.
She was shaken from her thoughts when she heard the baby fuss. She slowly walked to the crib and picked up the little girl.
Andromeda felt sad when she watched the little girl in her arms. She felt disgusted by what that poor child would face in the future. The things she would be called. The humiliations. She hugged the child close to her and let a few tears leak from her eyes. She will raise her daughter with all her efforts. She would provide for the little girl and she would do so, with or without any help. But she will provide for her. She will take care of her little girl and raise her to be the best in the society.
The baby sensed her mother’s distress. She looked back at her mother with wide eyes and a little toothless smile. Andromeda couldn’t stop herself from chuckling at the little girl.
“Mummy will always love you, Princess. She will always be there for you.” Andromeda promised as she pressed a small kiss on her forehead.
—--&&&------
Harry had grown accustomed to this change of lifestyle. From studying and attending classes to now sitting in the Peverell Manor with nothing much to do was a difficult transition. It had taken almost a month for Harry to adjust into this new setup. He and the others had graduated Hogwarts with flying colors. The best in the history of Hogwarts. Harry was then awarded and recognised for being the student to graduate with the highest marks in the history of Hogwarts, surpassing Albus Dumbledore. He managed to score full marks in Defense, Transfiguration and Charms. And unsurprisingly, he had ended up on the front page of the Daily Prophet.
That had Harry in a snarky mood much to the amusement of the others, especially Narcissa and Bellatrix. Peter and Lily had recovered a lot from the trauma that they had faced. Peter was still a shadow of his former self, but he was doing much better. He was interactive and was smiling even if it was a very small one. Lily had recovered better than Peter. She was back to her usual self, but every now and then, she would go into a moody state and Harry had explicitly told the others to keep a look at that. The moment any of the two, especially Peter descended into such a state, the others did their best to get them out of it. A depressed mind is not a very strong mind and they knew that very well.
There were no more distractions for them as they approached the end of the year. And just like that, they had been done with their schooling. They had been offered various opportunities for their future.
James had been offered to pursue mastery in Transfiguration by Professor McGonagall. James had been in a conundrum since he always wanted to join the Auror Corps ever since he was a kid.
They had worked out a solution, where James would join the Auror Corps and would be taken in as McGonagall's apprentice.
James, Sirius, Frank, Alice, Marlene had all applied to be Aurors. And currently, they were under training in the academy before being pledged in as full time Aurors.
Harry was not worried about them. They were wonderful individuals. They could take care of themselves. His friends had become excellent fighters and Harry was proud of them.
Lily had been taken under Flitwick's tutelage. She had never been happier in her life. That was visible as daylight.
Narcissa had been offered to do her masters in both Potions and Charms, just like Lily had, but just as he had predicted, she was snatched up by Poppy.
Him and Bellatrix, that was an entirely different conversation.
FLASHBACK–
Harry parried away the spells that James, Sirius and Remus sent his way. The three made a great team. Add to the fact that these boys were extremely good for their age group was an added benefit.
Harry decided to up the barrage. He twirled his wand around him, and black smoke oozed out of his wand covering the area completely. He then waved his wand over himself and darted into the smoke.
James and his group finally cleared the smoke and their eyes widened comically when they were faced with a dozen more Harrys surrounding them. Each one had their wands pointed at them.
"Ok…I am out." James raised his hands immediately. The two others followed suit.
Harry clicked his tongue.
"Guys…." He shook his head as the rest of the Harrys disappeared.
"James. Giving up is not acceptable mate." Harry shook his head. "When the Death Eaters attack, more often than not, it will be one versus many and certainly not in our favour." He added.
"But….How do you expect….." Sirius began.
"To defend yourselves?" Harry asked the question in the three boys' minds.
"For one, I want you to fight." Harry explained. "The second thing, how far are you willing to go to keep us safe?"
There was no hesitation at all. "Whatever it takes." Was the answer. Harry hummed.
"You won't like it. It will be gruesome. Horrifying." Harry muttered with steel in his voice. "You will probably look at me in a new light after this. You might be disgusted. But sheer ruthlessness. That is what helps me survive face off against multiple opponents, especially those who are literally trying to bash my head into my skull." Harry summoned a book from his bag and duplicated the book.
"Read it." He said. "When you are done and you still have the same answer, come back to me." Harry finished as he sat down. The boys nodded as they retrieved the book from Harry.
Harry watched them go. He felt bad that they had to do all this. It was certainly not easy. It was bad enough that they had to get involved in all of this crap. Now, they are about to read from some of the darkest of Tomes. But Harry was stone-hearted because of one single reason.
He had promised that he would drag all of them through this war alive. And for that, he was ready to go as down and dirty as possible.
"Your brother and the others are trying very hard, Harry." Harry sighed sadly.
"I know. If it was up to me, you will not be anywhere near the battlefield." Bellatrix poked him in his ribs.
She glared at him.
"Do you think that we will let you fight this battle on your own?" She asked.
"I don't know about any others, Harry Potter, but I will be right next to you, shielding you every step ahead. That is a promise."
"But…" She shook her head. "No buts. Do you think I am incapable? Your words certainly mean so." She snarked.
Harry shook his head. "You know that is not true, Bell. I haven't seen anybody as good as you in my life. You are brilliant." Harry praised the girl.
"It's just that, I dread that if something untoward happens, I will end up lonely. All alone and mental." He felt disgusted.
"I know it feels selfish, but I can't help it." He muttered.
"I have my people after a long time. My very own family. My mum, dad, brother, uncle, aunt. You, Narcissa. How can I lose you? How can I live knowing that my family got destroyed in my quest for vengeance? My love burnt into ashes because of my anger." He didn't look into her eyes.
Bellatrix's eyes became soft when she heard his answer. Sometimes, she tends to forget that he never grew up like a normal boy. She cursed those wretched muggles.
"No." She whispered. "We will survive this war. We will come out of this war as victors. We will have a long and fulfilling life ahead. Me, you, Cissy, our entire family will live happily, just like you have dreamed." She assured him.
"The one good thing about family is that they stand by you no matter what the consequences are. Never forget that this is as much our fight as it is yours, Harry." Harry nodded, his emotions now high after her words.
He pulled the girl closer. "I love you." Bellatrix grinned into his chest.
"I love you too, Harry Potter." She whispered, a sigh escaping her lips as she lay there, contentedly.
"And what about me, being behind you?" She asked. Harry pressed a kiss on her forehead. "I won't have it any other way."
FLASHBACK ENDS–
Harry knew that Bellatrix meant every word of her promise to be his shield. He knew what she was capable of. Bellatrix was truly something different with a wand. She was truly a wonder. He would admit that sometimes, even he would hesitate to be at the end of her wand.
He would have no one other than her watching over his back in a fight. The two were a deadly duo. Harry Potter was untouchable with a wand. He was ruthless and dangerous and devastating. But Harry Potter and Bellatrix Black were out of this world. There was never a more deadlier duo than these two. Harry frankly enjoyed practicing with Bellatrix. She posed an excellent challenge. Just like his father and uncle. Her spells were impeccable and she hit bulls eyes. She doesn’t miss easily. If she hits, she hits true. She loves learning magics that many would hesitate to listen to. She loves knowledge as much as Lily, but Bellatrix is more interested in the practical aspects of magic rather than the theoretical aspect.
She spent as much time in the dueling room as him, and sometimes, more than him. She was especially motivated since that evening in the room of requirements. She could be seen trying and perfecting spell after spell and dueling the dummies and the others sometimes.
(Lemon warning)
They were the only two that were around. Harry had once more received a call from Croaker and his department, but Harry declined the offer. Right now, he was in no mood to work. He knew that he would be bored out of his skin soon, but he didn’t want to be anywhere in the Ministry. He hated that place with a passion.
Harry felt a familiar presence approach him and a soft pair of lips attached themselves upon him. Harry smiled into the action, reciprocating the kiss. He channeled some magic through his palm and Bellatrix appeared in front of him, her disillusionment charm being nullified. Harry’s hands captured her waist and the two deepened their kiss as Bellatrix straddled his lap. Harry’s grip tightened on her waist, his hands traveling south towards her bottom. Bellatrix moaned as she felt Harry squeeze her bottom.
“It has been so long, Harry.” She whispered as she nipped softly on his ear.
Harry nodded. He was quick to take off her robes, Bellatrix reciprocating his actions along with him.
As Harry stared at the naked beauty sitting on his lap, he was reminded once more of how lucky he was to fall in love with this goddess and how lucky it was that she was interested in him.
Narcissa and Bellatrix meant the world to him. His light at the end of the tunnel. The future.
“You are too beautiful for me, love. Not that I am complaining.” Harry muttered, his mouth latching onto her nipple, making her moan in pleasure. Harry continued to suck and tweak her nipple, enjoying her reactions.
Bellatrix was enjoying their time together. Harry had been too engrossed in other issues that he didn’t have much time to himself. This was the first time in many days that they had engaged in sex.
Harry lifted her and carried her to the bed. He didn't waste any time after that. His head dipped onto her wet quim and Bellatrix hissed in pleasure when she felt Harry's ministrations.
Harry played with her clit, pressing soft kisses along. Her moans were music to his ears. He loved to hear that noise from Bellatrix.
Suddenly, Bellatrix wrapped her legs around Harry's head, her fingers gripping his hair. She screamed in ecstasy as she orgasmed.
Harry got up from near her legs and watched Bellatrix. Her face was flushed, her breasts heaving from the orgasmic high she was coming down from. Her breath was laboured and her violet pools, aroused with lust and love. Even with her hair now more curled up, she never looked more beautiful. Bellatrix was an extremely beautiful woman. She was perfection.
But seeing her this way, naked as the day she was born and in his arms, Harry couldn't be luckier than this.
He still couldn't fathom how this wonderful girl turned into a monster in his previous timeline, but he was glad that he prevented that. He had not hoped even in his dreams that he would fall in love with Bellatrix Black and Narcissa Black of all people. Now, he couldn't imagine being away from them.
Harry felt her hand on his member and he watched as Bellatrix guided his member towards her quim and Harry entered her with a grunt, her warm wetness gripping his manhood tightly.
Harry hissed in pleasure as his mind was overloaded with the feel of her pussy gripping his cock.
Bellatrix smirked.
She thrust her hips up to meet his hips.
"Oh…..Harryyy…." She moaned in pleasure when he was deep inside her.
Harry pulled back and buried himself deep once more. He started to thrust in and out of her pussy. His pace increased gradually as he was slamming his hips, his pleasure growing with every thrust.
Bellatrix bucked wildly as she felt a wave of pressure shoot up her body as she felt an orgasm hit her wildly. She came, squirting all over Harry's hips and stomach, her hand clutching the bedspread.
Harry didn't stop. His was slamming into her tunnel, lost in the pleasure that he was receiving.
"Bell…." He leaned forward and started mauling her breasts. "Oh…" she moaned back in response.
Bellatrix hauled herself forward with all the strength she could muster and turned them around. She sat on top of Harry.
She leaned forward, placing her hands on his chest. She caressed his abs, placed a soft kiss and then started to bounce.
Harry moaned as Bellatrix bounced up and down on his cock. Harry met up as he started to thrust upwards. Slapping sounds accompanied by moans filled the room.
Harry was close to his release, when he felt Bellatrix dismount him. Harry groaned pitifully, his eyes begging Bellatrix to resume.
Bellatrix smirked at the effect she was having on him. She started to stroke his cock, enjoying the meaty rod twitch in her hand.
Bellatrix leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cock. She smirked and engulfed his head, her tongue swirling over the head, tasting herself on his member.
She swallowed his entire length up her throat and Harry went cross-eyed at the new sensation. His palms were tightly closed. He couldn't hold his body back from thrusting into her mouth.
Harry was surprised when he heard a gagging noise and his eyes widened when he saw what he was doing.
"God…Bell. Why didn't you stop me?"
Bellatrix didn't reply. He made to pull away, but to his surprise, she swallowed down on his cock. Harry moaned once more. His emeralds met her violet ones. Bellatrix winked suggestively and went down once more and Harry lost control.
He placed his hand on her head and started to thrust into her mouth. He didn't care to go slow and judging by her moans that sent vibrations against his member, Bellatrix was enjoying it.
Harry soon erupted with a roar and started cumming in her mouth. He tried to pull away, but Bellatrix had other ideas, putting her hands on his hips, she pulled him closer. She swallowed his load, smiling all the way.
Harry's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline. Bellatrix was enthusiastic about sex, but he didn't know that she loved aggression.
Harry was not complaining though. How could he? There was no need for it, if he was to be honest with himself. What hot-blooded male won't like a woman with passion, especially in carnal desires?
"You think we are done?" Bellatrix smirked. "Not by a long shot, Harry. We are going to be very busy for the next few hours." She made to sit up. Harry watched as a small amount of his seed trickled down near her mouth down to her chin.
Bellatrix wiped it off and licked her fingers. Harry growled as another wave of lust hit him. He charged forward and locked her in his arms, throwing her back on the bed. Bellatrix was surprised when Harry flipped her around and pulled her hips up.
She squealed when Harry pushed balls deep inside her. Her cheeks jiggled as Harry pounded into her from behind, grunting and groaning in pleasure. Bellatrix squealed as she was brought into another orgasm.
"Yes!!" She screamed as felt him speed up. With a final thrust, Harry went cross-eyed and he released inside Bellatrix and collapsed on top of her, panting along with her.
Harry pressed a kiss on her back and slid in next to her on the bed and Bellatrix cuddled up to him.
"Wow…" Bellatrix whispered.
"What came over you?" She asked. Harry grimaced.
"Was I too rough?" Bellatrix shook her head.
"No. I loved it. I love the aggressiveness that you had. I was beginning to think that I had fallen in love with a baby." She teased.
Harry grumbled good-naturedly.
"Minx." He muttered. Bellatrix chuckled along with him.
—-&&&----
After a long training session particularly after many rounds of sex, Harry was in the sitting room. He and Bellatrix decided that they would go out to Muggle London today and Bellatrix had left, saying that the will be back in a few minutes.
Harry heard footsteps behind him. “You were gone a while, Bell. What new book did you find to use on me?” He chuckled. However he did not hear an answer.
“Look at that.” He gasped playfully. “Something was finally able to silence my dear Bellatrix..” He said. When there was still no reply, Harry turned back.
“Is anything the matter, Bell…” Harry froze when he finally saw who was standing behind him.
“Andi….” He was standing face to face with Andromeda Black and what seemed like a baby.
“Hello Harry.” She whispered, her eyes not leaving his face.
—-&&&-----
Andromeda appeared in front of the Peverell Manor and made sure that the baby was not woken from its sleep. She nervously walked through the spacious garden, her face etched with worry, fearing his reaction. She didn’t know why she was overly concentrated on facing him. For some reason, she felt that his approval and support was very important for what she wanted to do.
Peverell Manor was as majestic and impressive as she had seen before. She slowly trudged into the Manor and walked straight to the upper rooms. She was suddenly stopped when Timmy popped in. The little elf lit up as he saw who it was.
“Miss Andi be back…” The elf bounced on his feet. “Timmy be happy to see young miss back.’ Andromeda smiled softly.
“Hello, Timmy. Is Harry here?” The elf nodded. “Yes miss. Master be in his room.” He said.
“Master and his family be worried about you. Poor master be very sad.” The elf replied somberly. He suddenly smiled.
“Now, Miss be back, Master will be happy.” The elf bounced once again on his feet.
Andromeda nodded and turned back to move towards the sitting room. She approached her destination and suddenly her nerves caught up with her. She suddenly felt an urge to just forget all of this and run away. She chastised herself. She had to do this.
She entered the area and Harry was seated there, turned away from her. He thought that she was Bellatrix. When she didn’t speak up, Harry turned to face her. She chuckled nervously when her eyes met his.
“Hello Harry.” She whispered.
Harry was still for sometime and Andromeda suddenly feared his reaction.
“Andromeda?” Harry muttered and she could only nod. She found his expression amusing, but she really didn’t want to show it at this moment.
“Hey.” She greeted the boy. Harry walked forward and engulfed the girl in a hug. Andromeda sagged in relief as she hugged him back with one arm. Harry broke the hug and gave the girl a once over.
“By Merlin, Andromeda. Where were you all these days? What were you doing? Are you alright?” Harry fired questions continuously.
Andromeda smiled back at the boy.
“I am fine, Harry.” Her voice began to break when her emotions relaxed at his reaction. This was something Harrysaw right through.
“Andromeda.” His voice was stern. “You have no right to lie to us now. Not after all the worrying we have done.” He said.
His voice suddenly softened. “We know what happened, Andromeda. We know that he was dosing you with love potions.” Andromeda was startled to learn of that issue. “You know….” Harry nodded.
“Your mind, although out of your own control, was still trying to fight back. The letter you had written to us gave it away. Narcissa was quick to recognise the signs. We have been trying ever since to find you. There isn’t a resource left that we didn’t use to find you.”
“Tell me what happened, Andi.” Harry spoke reassuringly. Andromeda nodded.
The two were interrupted by a gurgle. Harry then watched this new person staring at him curiously. He smiled slightly and gently bumped the baby on her nose.
A giggle escaped the baby’s mouth as Harry bumped her nose.
“And who are you, little one?” Harry enquired and the baby captured his finger in both her hands, squealing softly.
“Meet my daughter, Nymphadora.” Andromeda proudly introduced.
Harry grinned at the baby. He was surprised when the little girl's tuft of hair turned black and her eyes turned green, matching his.
“Wow…” He looked back at Andromeda. “She is a metamorph?” Andromeda nodded with pride.
Harry chuckled once more.
“A special little girl then, aren’t you?” Harry questioned the baby.
They were engrossed in the matter that they failed to see another occupant.
“Andi?” Harry and Andromeda followed the voice and now stood facing Bellatrix Black.
“Bella.” Andromeda smiled nervously. She hoped that her sister was not in a bad mood. Her legendary temper was not something she wanted to face now. She hoped that Bellatrix was accepting of her. She hoped that everything would be fine.

Oh its a bad day to be Ted tonks
