Notes: A drabble series for the LJ community romancingwizard. Again, seaislewitch's advice was invaluable. For those unfamiliar with the Blacks, looking at the Black family tree might be helpful.

Summary: Andromeda Black has left her family, but what do they think about that?

Pairing: Andromeda/Ted

A Family Scandal

v. Home

At his parents' flat in Southwark, he watches the girl sleeping by his side. Fingers curling through her dark hair, tracing the curve of her cheek, he can't stop thinking how totally fucking lucky he is.

A conjured camp bed in his sister's room, though... Not good enough. He wants to give Andromeda a home that's theirs. Seventeen, and he knows this.

(She slips into his room at night, curls against his side, whispers, I love you, Ted Tonks.)

Andromeda hasn't said why she left, but he figures, hell, this is just the beginning.

They have time.
