Whilst Andromeda knew her parents and relatives were prejudiced she didn't think it was right for others to make judgement calls about Bellatrix without proof. Her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Watch your tongue, McKinnon.That's another serious accusation you've made against my sister. She may be biased, but she never did anything."

“Or wha’. Andie?” Marlene scoffed, a low huff that killed the budding laugh in her throat. She liked Andromeda, she was one of the good ones, but she still turned a blind eye to the hatred that burned bright in her sisters souls. “Ye gonna curse me? Have one of yer Slytherin pure bloods shove me off tha stairs as well?” She’d never, Marlene knew that, she knew Andromeda wasn’t like the others and still she said it anyway.

“Thank you for your help Black, the assistance during Summer. I shan’t go into details, however it helped me get through until Hogwarts started again,” Severus kissed the tips of his own fingers, then ever so lightly touching them to her cheek.

HE KNOWS HE ISN’T SUPPOSED TO SEE. he can feel it in his chest , in his bones , that this is not a moment meant for him to enter upon. her emotions , like his own , are to be a closed door , locked tight. deadbolted. 

the difference is that he can run. or he has. he has run , and he’s combated his demons in the silence and solace of worlds away while she stayed , raised her grandson , on her own. 

and he just kept running. 

and so what’s the point of coming back from the dead for him if you’re just going to leave him anyway ?

❝ i should’ve stayed. ❞

it isn’t what he means to say , but it is what he means. it is what needs to be said , and whether she can accept that or not , he doesn’t want to be told otherwise. remus and tonks both gave him a duty , trusted in him to fulfill it whether he deserved it or not , and he’d let them down long enough. a poor way to honor their memory !!!

the words he’d said to remus all those years ago still ring in his ears, fill them like molten metal. he feels suddenly heavier.
