#ft. andromeda

Dahlia was dressed to the nines knowing there would be little to no interaction with anyone. She wanted people to see her and be even more intimidated than normal. Someone who wouldn't be intimidated was Andromeda, something Dahlia was not surprised about. When her friend approached, she gave a nod.

She looked Andromeda up and down. "You look lovely tonight." She gave the obligatory compliment, though this time she meant it. Andromeda was a beautiful woman and cleaned up nicely. She always had. "I'm sure it took no time to get ready." She said, sipping her drink.

"Are you enjoying the festivities? Not on duty, I hope." She genuinely hoping Andromeda had the night off. She deserved it.

Wos - Andromeda

I want to introduce you the Scott Ryder. 

rodolphus considered andromeda to be one of the only true friends he had before hogwarts. when she came for her first year his heart got excited knowing he would see her everyday. and not because he ever had romantic feelings toward her but because she knew him in a way no one else did.

as soon as andromeda began to split from her family, rodolphus was confused and he was never confused. he was also hurt, knowing he had to cut ties with her immediately.

a small fear entered rodolphus as he realized his feelings for bellatrix. he knew that bellatrix would do anything for her sisters and didn’t want anything to come in the way of that. even though andromeda was on the outs with the Black family, he didn’t want her ruining the chance he had with a woman he could see himself with — something that terrified him.

It’s true that Corvus made it very clear that relationships and love would only get in the way of the big picture. But that doesn’t mean a person can stop their feelings, especially at a young age.

The Lestrange family was always close to the Blacks. The boys would be seen at the Black manor while Corvus and Clarrise made their weekly visits to discuss — well, that was kept from the children which meant the five spent their time together.

While Rodolphus and Bellatrix were the same age, the eldest and already similar, Rodolphus saw her as more of a peer than anything else. She was the one Rodolphus spoke to as an equal.

Then there was Andromeda. There was something about her Rodolphus enjoyed. She was different than Bellatrix and Narcissa. Before he knew it, Rodolphus found himself having a crush on the middle daughter. It made him uncomfortable because of his upbringing but couldn’t help himself. He would flirt — with his arrogance he didn’t quite know how to use yet — with her but with no success.

As he grew older, Rodolphus officially learned how to put his emotions aside. It wasn’t worth his time and he stopped caring. However, when he would see her out and about, he couldn’t stop himself from using the arrogance he finally had a firm grasp on. Now it was more for his amusement than expectation.

There would never be a Rodolphus and Andromeda.
