Bellatrix nodded her agreement, he was rather unsavoury.
"Why would he fight for us though?" Andromeda questioned.
"He must have his reasons" Bellatrix whispered thoughtfully.
"We should all just be grateful that he did what he did" Druella sighed. "I can't think of anyone other than your Grandfather who would do that".
"Do you think he will be ok?" Narcissa asked worriedly.
"As Aunt Dorea said, you shouldn't underestimate him, I think Dolohov is in for a surprise" Druella stated gravely.
"I wouldn't have even been mad if he kept my contract" Narcissa sighed. "He's too old for you Cissy" Andromeda returned. "But I wouldn't either" she added with a smirk.
Bellatrix narrowed her eyes at her sisters as they elicited a stab of something unpleasant in her chest and stomach.
"Well he burnt them all so clearly he wouldn't be interested" she retorted.
"I think Bella wanted him to keep her one too" Narcissa whispered.
Bellatrix just shook her head.
"I thought you were already seeing someone" she aimed at Andromeda with a grin.
The other girl paled and shook her head frantically.
"And who is this boy Andromeda?" Druella questioned.
"No one Mother" the girl replied. The woman hummed disbelievingly.
"Well I had better ensure that your father at least has some clothes" she sighed as she left the room.
Andromeda waited until the footsteps of her mother faded before she turned angrily to her sister.
"Why would you do that?" she hissed.
"Well you are seeing someone aren't you?" the girl returned.
"Yes, but I don't want Mum and especially Dad finding out" Andromeda answered urgently, shooting a glance at the kitchen door to ensure her mother was not returning.
"Is there something wrong with him?" Bellatrix asked.
"No" Andromeda sighed. "But Dad definitely won't allow it". Bellatrix frowned, a frown that was quickly replaced by a look of realisation.
"He's not a pureblood" She stated incredulously.
Andromeda nodded.
"I've liked him since third year but never got to speak to him until Mortlake paired us together" she explained.
Bellatrix nodded. She never would have spoken to Harry had they not been paired together. She once again shook the thoughts of the boy from her head.
"Slytherin?" Bellatrix asked amusedly. Andromeda shook her head.
"Ravenclaw?" "No".
"Gryff?". Andromeda shook her head once more.
"A duffer then" Bellatrix balked.
Andromeda nodded and flushed, a pink tinge appearing on her cheeks.
"Is that the blonde boy I saw you kissing behind the statue on the fifth floor?" Narcissa piped up with a grin.
"Cissy" Andromeda yelped. "You shouldn't spy on me".
"I was making my way back from the library, you should hide better, but he seemed nice" Narcissa returned.
Andromeda shook her head in frustration. "What's his name?" Bellatrix asked.
"Ted" Andromeda answered simply.
"He's a muggleborn then" the other girl whispered urgently. Andromeda just nodded.
"Dad will kill you, but I don't think Mum would be that bothered, especially after yesterday I think she'll just be happy you chose him yourself" Bellatrix shrugged.
"It doesn't bother you?" Andromeda questioned with a frown.
"Not really but I don't get what you could see in him" Bellatrix responded curiously.
"Because he's not scared of me" Andromeda began. "He doesn't care about our reputation and he makes me smile" she added. "He's nice and really cute too".
"He is" Narcissa agreed. "Marrying most purebloods just makes you a housewife or a trophy" she added disgustedly.
"True" Bellatrix admitted. "But they can't all be like that". "They are" Andromeda sighed. "Have you ever met anyone apart from Aunt Dorea and Grandma who were allowed to do what they wanted?"
"No" Bellatrix answered simply.
She had never met anyone other than her Grandmother and Great Aunt who weren't made to have children and just be a housewife in the pureblood community. The women were all miserable and clearly not satisfied with their lives.
She sighed at the thought and turned them once more to the green eyed boy that had been occupying them for the most part, for whatever reason that may be.
