Breaking Free (Black Cousins)

Malfoy Manor

Andromeda was so bored at Malfoy Manor, this balls were so lame, they played the dullest music ever and she had to wear this really tight clothes, she liked order and she liked fancy things but this was too much, specially as her mother was decided on finding her a husband on their stay, when she had already found someone but she couldn't tell them, because if they found out he was a muggle born they will kill her with her corset right then and there.

The school year was so much brighter after Valentine's day, Ted and Andromeda had started dating in secret, no one knew about it but Sirius, Diana and Sturgis suspected about it, lucky for her Sirius got more occupied with the werewolf incident with Severus, why were they so hard on that kid, and he got awarded at the end, he was going to spend the rest of the summer with his best friend while she was stuck in Malfoy Manor.

"So Andi what did you think of Benedict Nott?, I know stupid Siri and his friend ruined our date, but you seemed so happy the next day like you had butterflies in your stomach" Cissy said

could she be more stupid, she clearly was bored in the date before Sirius and James arrived

"Cissy I am sorry to break your matchmaking head, but I am happy because of something else, you know, I got a letter from Malcom from America talking about Ilvermorny, did you know they access the school through modified portkeys, instead of trains to avoid contact with muggles, so cool" Andromeda said referencing a letter she actually got a couple of days later.

"So you're still in love with Malcom?" Cissy said

"I... is complicated, I was happy to hear he is ok, that's all and hearing all about Ilvermorny" Andi said

"Are you sure little sister because the dark lord has been teaching me legeremancy, and while I can't read thoughts, I can read emotions and you my sister are in love" Bella said joining in on the conversation

"I don't know what you're talking about Bella, maybe you should practice that mind reading trick of yours a little bit better, to impress the Dark Lord" Andi said

"I'm sure you're in love and that you're hiding something, and I will find out what" Bella said

Then Bella touched her forearm and said "I have to go, but I'm on to you sis"

Andi decided to follow Bella to see what she was up to

"we will attack mudblood families this next week who is next on the list Crouch?" the Dark Lord asked

Andromeda had never seen him before, he looked monstrous, with dark red eyes with slit pupils resembling those of a snake, how could anyone follow him? Andromeda thought he was clearly crazy

"Tonks, they have a son in hufflepuff" Barty Crouch Jr said

Andromeda felt her insides turn they wouldn't do this, not him.

"I swear that house has more mudbloods than any other" Rodolphus said

"maybe because they are so dull and stupid on that house they just accept the pathetic things" Barty answered

" I know him, that little creep, he rode with my sister on her first train ride on the Hogwarts Express, and her ex boyfriend, defended him from me once, he causes disgrace in school, I would be most satisfied to kill him, he won't torment my little sister anymore" Bella said

Scared Andromeda ran away to find the piece of wood she used to comunícate with Ted

and sent a simple message

They are coming for you and your family, you need to hide

"Hey Andi, what are you doing?" Said Regulus coming in
" hey Reg I was just checking something "

"I heard your sister talk with the other deatheaters, they want to go for the family of the kid that got Malcom to run away, I thought you would like to go with them" he said

Andromeda was so annoyed, why did everyone think that was the reason he left, he left because he wanted to get away from this stupid war. She should do it too.

"of course not, I will never take part in something so illegal, dangerous and cruel Reg, I know you feel the pressure on your shoulders of keeping our family afloat after Sirius's sorting, but you don't need to get involved in that kind of stuff either" Andromeda said

"Andi, hanging out with softies like Malcom and that girl Cordelia has made you a softy too, but that can be changed, that is why I think you should go with them" Regulus said

"Reg, killing a bunch of people won't make it better, it never does, one thing is following our family's ideology, but it is completely different to follow that monster, he is a monster Reg, not a revolutionary, I hope you see that before its too late" Andromeda said before heading off.

__________________________________________________________________

A monster? what was Andi talking about, he was fighting for what wizardkind had always wanted, freedom and purification, maybe there was no fixing Andi's softiness, but when the Tonks were dead she would be happy that reminder of that awful incident would be gone.

Regulus couldn't wait to get older and join his ranks, make his family proud like his good for nothing brother never could, he would be a hero, braver than his Griffindor brother.

"Hey Reg what are you thinking of?" said Cassia Rosier approaching him, his pair, she was good for him he guessed a little too vocal on the pureblood beliefs even more than Bella, ahe had been practicing unforgivable curses since before she got into school, her family had served dark wizards in the past and Cassia seemed more than happy to follow in their footsteps following the dark lord, perfect if he was to represent the house of Black in the new world.

"It's my cousin Andi, she is too softy, she doesn't want to get involved with the cause, because she thinks it's dangerous" Regulus said.

"thinking like that she won't get anywhere, the world is turning dangerous and she can't be a coward and run away like her stupid ex boyfriend, she better learn that, she must join the winning side"Cassia said.

"I don't think she sees it that way, she called the Dark Lord a monster" Regulus said

"she is moore than just a coward Reg she might be a traitor" Cassia said

"of course not, Cass, she is just a softy, she hates the things the Dark Lord does that are necesary for the new world, but she believes in the ideals behind it"

"I don't know Reg, she is pretty mysterious and tends to hang out with blood traitors like Diana Padmore"

Regulus was about to answer, but he didn't he knew that Diana wasn't a blood traitor out of pure choice, that stupid hat put her in Ravenclaw, and her parents were mean enough to disown her, Andi felt pity for her, but Diana had grown to befriend mudbloods and was now part of a half blood family, yet Andi still talked to her.
