August 1995

"OH MY GOD, TED, DORA SHE'S HOME!"

Astra screwed her eyes up tightly, adjusting to the end of the transportation that she so desperately hated, as her mother ran into the living room and promptly screamed for Astra's father and sister. 

The sixth year stepped out of the fireplace giddily only to be pulled into Andromeda Tonks's arms, a small sob coming from the woman as she basked in the relief of her youngest daughters safety. 

Astra wasted no time in hugging her mother back, her head buried in her mother's shoulder as she heard two sets of footsteps thundering down the stairs and an extremely familiar gasp that belonged to her older sister. 

Andromeda pulled away, holding her youngest's face in her hands, studying it as if she would be taken away any moment. 

"I'm so glad you're okay, my baby..."

A stray tear made its way down Astra's mother's face, quickly wiping it away as it appeared. Astra smiled softly, the fear and nausea from last nights events loitering in the bottom of her stomach.  

"Mum, I promise I'm fine. The twins kept me safe and Charlie and Bill came to find us."

"Well thank god, I don't have to kill my best friend." Dora commented, pulling her sister into a tight embrace, not as tight as their mother but enough to show her worry and fear over last night.

Astra laughed lightly, hugging her sister back before her father took over, worry lines etched into his forehead. "I'm happy you're safe my Star." 

Astra sighed deeply. "Me too Dad."

The family of four relocated to the kitchen where Andromeda started breakfast, and Ted instantly changed the subject to the actual match. 

The delicious smell wafted over to where Astra started talking about how incredibly thrilling the event was and there was no less than five times where Dora groaned jealously. 

"I can't believe you went and not me! Charlie should have given it to me!" 

"You couldn't have gone, you had work." Ted reminded his eldest who grumbled about how stupid being an adult was. 

Astra only giggled as her mother handed her a plate. "Sucks to be you. Thanks Mum."

Dora pointed a fork at her sister. "Oi. You'll have to be an adult someday." 

The girl only shrugged and winked in response. "Yeah, still got two years though. Gotta live a little right now."

 "Okay okay, so Ireland won but Krum got the snitch?! Who would've seen that coming?" Ted said incredulously, looking at his wife who had just sat down. Andromeda only stared back fondly. "I can't say love."

"The twins bet Lugo Bagman that exact bet. I was just as surprised." Astra said after swallowing her food, Dora only raised an eyebrow. 

"Shocking. Bagman making a bet." Dora looked like she had more to say but Astra suddenly remembered. 

"Oh Dora, he apparently wants to take you on as an Auror for his team." It was safe to say the eldest Tonks daughter was surprised and disgusted, like Astra thought. 

"Um...No." 

"Dora, be a bit more respectful." Ted frowned as Nymphadora sat back, throwing up her hands.
