When The Stars Fall

On the Fifth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me...

Authors note: this is definitely one of my worst chapters and it's insanely short but life has had me super busy and I didn't want to keep delaying the chapter. I'll make it up with the next one. Also, I didn't proofread it or fix grammar/spelling so do with that what you will.

"The paper, dear." Ted spoke, walking over and placing it in front of Andromeda as he sipped his morning tea, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Andromeda sighed as she picked it up, "That Skeeter is really making a name for herself." She whispered seeing her family on the front page yet again.

Ted frowned as he read the heading, "Malfoys begin wedding preparations. Will this bride follow in her older sisters footsteps?" He scoffed, "Ignore it, Andy."

"I can't believe she's going through with it." Andromeda said as she stood up, "I think I'm going to go owl Sirius.  Do you mind cleaning up breakfast and waking..." She trailed off, looking towards the open window.

Ted followed her eyes, frowning softly. He placed a hand under her chin, turning her head to look at him, "We have to go back to London sometime. As beautiful as the cottage is and as thankful as I am to the Weasleys, we have to get back to our lives. That means having her come out to the public. It's best we do it before that girl does."

"Bellatrix would never forgive me. None of them would. A child out of wedlock-"

"She's our daughter. And she needs to meet other people, Andromeda."

Andromeda bit her lip, "She's a metamorphogus and I've kept that from Narcissa for two years. Do you know the pain that would cause her?"

"Then you set up a meeting and tell her to her face before someone else does."

'Dear Remus,

I hope this letter finds you well. I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately, and there's something I need to share with you. I've been wrestling with my emotions, and it seems that I may have developed feelings for Mary. It's taken me by surprise, and I can't help but feel a bit conflicted about it.

You see, it's not just Mary who occupies my thoughts and stirs my heart. Pandora still holds a special place in my mind. I find myself torn between these two incredible individuals, each with their own unique qualities that I admire and cherish. It's a perplexing situation to be in, and I'm trying to make sense of it all.

Mary is incredible and we share this deep connection I cannot ignore and we have so much more in common in the sense of our personal lives; however, Pandora's outgoing and rather odd personality is something I feel I need in my life.'

She stopped writing her letter, pen hovering over the paper. As much as she wanted to keep writing, to get her letter and her thoughts out there, she was afraid of doing so.

Hearing the door begin to open she hid the paper under her pillow making a mental note to finish it later.

"Where's Mary?" Rose asked.

"Bath." Lily responded, crossing her legs under her, "You forgot to knock."

"My bad. Look, Petunia and Lance are on their way back from the hospital."

"Mum-"

"I understand this is a complicated situation, Lilith, truly, but he is your sister's fiancé. Can it not be that you misunderstood? He doesn't have siblings maybe he just... didn't understand."
