Ted and Andromeda had managed to plan their clandestine wedding, with Ted's parents, Sirius, James, the Padmores, and Lily Evans in attendance, the few people who knew about their relationship.
Everyone was happy during the celebration, except for Lily who was still heartbroken over the incident with Severus, Diana, Lara and Andromeda had done their best to cheer her up, but she couldn't stop thinking about it. Diana sat with Lily on the table when
"Care to dance ladies?" Said James and Sirius in front of them.
Diana stood up to dance with Sirius.
"Lily I know you're sad and that Potter over here is not your favorite person, but you need to cheer up a little, a dance won't hurt you Lils, it's a wedding, a party, we may as well have fun" Diana said.
"Fine, but don't step on my feet Potter or your face will suffer" Lily said.
"I won't Lily, my parents taught me how to dance properly" James said looking her in the eyes.
Diana and Sirius were bursting out in laughter.
With a slightly annoyed face Lily got up and James grabbed her in the right position to dance slowly as the music progressed Lily got clearly more comfortable dancing with James, Sirius and Diana had danced before, on family events when they were kids, back then and even now Sirius tended to step on Diana's feet, back then it annoyed Diana but now she found it cute.
"I see you're all having a good time, mind if we join?" Andromeda asked
"Of course not Andi" Sirius said.
The just married couple danced with the fourth teengers all afternoon, until it was time for the wedding to end and Sirius had to sneak back home with the help of Jame's invisibility cloak, Andromeda was to go back home too, to pack her things and drop the news on her parents before leaving the house.
"you can go to our house tonight if you want to Lily, it's close to this place and you can go back home tomorrow" Diana offered
"I would love to, but we have a dinner to meet Petunia's fiancée that she met at college" Lily said
"maybe I could go with you and you can present me as your boyfriend" James offered
"no thanks Potter, just because I enjoyed dancing with you tonight doesn't mean we're dating don't get the wrong impression, I'll deal with Petunia and her fiancée myself" Lily said.
"when your dinner is a complete disaster, don't come crying to me to say I told you so, just like it happened with Snivellus, I told you to stay away from him and look how things turned out" James said.
Lily's face turned sour, Diana couldn't figure out if it was because she rememembered the incident with Snape or because she realized Potter was right.

Andromeda got home at 7, her parents and sisters believed she was filling a job application at Gringotts, to explain the makeup and all of that, but now she just had to go grab her things and drop the bomb on them, and run before anyone specially Bella could kill her or incinerate her.
She opened the door as Cissy greeted her
"Hey Andi, how did the job application go? did you get the job? don't worry if you didn't once we find the right suitor for you you won't have to work" Cissy said
"I need to talk to you about something" Andi said
"whatever, Andi, once we get a ring on that hand from a wonderful pureblood, you can be with us and together we will face the world" Cissy said
"I.." Andi managed to mutter
"Cissy is right, my dear, why do you bother with those tedious job interviews if you don't need them, the best thing you can do right now is to stay here and wait till Cissy and I find the perfect man for you" Druella said.
"Mom, but I..." Andi muttered again
"Andromeda Black stop complaining and listen, your mother and I just want what's best for you, and right now going out there amd meddling with those stupid mudbloods on Gringotts is not a good idea" Andi's father said.
"Benedict Nott is waiting for you on the backyard, with a romantic dinner, go talk to him, is your duty Andromeda" Druella said.
"No, I'm sorry mom, dad, Cissy, I wanted to ease you a little bit before telling you the news but you are making it too difficult with that git Nott in the backyard..."
"Andromeda don't you talk about him like this" Druella said
"no, mom he is a git and i wouldn't marry him now or in a million years" Andromeda said angryly
"maybe we can find someone else, how does Parkinson sound" Cissy said
"no, Cissy, I love you but I can't do this anymore, I can't put up with this nonsense anymore, because I already found love and I already married him" Andi said showing her wedding ring
"what? when? to whom?" Druella exclaimed.
"to a muggleborn this afternoon when you thought I was in a job interview, I just came to pick my stuff and leave" Andi said
the entirety of Andi's family was on shock
"and here I thought Sirius was the only bad apple in the family, how could I ever raise such a pathetic daugther like you, you can leave but you can't take any of your belongings with you, not any gift of our family can leave with a blood traitor like you" her father said.
" well while all of you were busy scouldering me I packed my bags and sent them to my husband's house, good bye everybody, I wish you didn't have so stupid world views so you could actually meet him" Andi said before apparating away.

A week after Andi's wedding the tension was big on Grimauld Place as now more than ever Walburga was lineant on finding Sirius a wife. But every candidate was worse than the others. And it hurt Sirius everytime his mom called him for another date, he could now relate to evans everytime Prongs asked her out, but at least Evans wasn't forced to go like Sirius was.
But this time his mother wasn't calling him for a date.
"Sirius, we're going to your cousins house" Walburga said
"What, mom, why?" Sirius asked
"Druella needs consoling after what happened with Andi, and I've arranged with Bella for you to become a deatheater, make your family proud and find a girlfriend, I'm tired of finding them for you" Walburga blurted out.
"No, mom you can't make me do this I can't join those horrible people I have enough with being trapped in this house with you all the time" Sirius said
"when you join them you'll be able to go outside and do stuff like you've always wanted, you'll serve a greater purpose" she said
"you have no idea of what I actually want mom" Sirius said
"maybe what you want is not what you need boy" his mom said once again
"maybe what you think I need is not right for me, just as it was for Andi"
"don't talk about that traitor in this house again"
"maybe I don't want to be in this house anymore"
"maybe you shouldn't be in this house or considered part of the family"
"I will leave, I can't stand this situation anymore specially if you want me to join those monsters"
"go, Sirius and take this stupid things off your walls and take them with you"
" I can't, I enchanted them remember, let them stay here as a reminder of the son you couldn't love because he was different, because he wasn't like your perfect Black boy mold, oh and by the way mom I went to Andi's wedding and brought her to the altar, I was the only member of this crazy family that would"
And like that Sirius stormed out of the house and decided to head to James's house

Regulus watched as Sirius stormed out of the house, he was playing with Kreacher, it was up to him more than ever to protect his family's name more than ever, even if that meant keeping the Rosier's dark secrets and joining the deatheaters.
