The Things We Did For Love

So I decided to go ahead and start a new story, 'My Angel Gabriel' wasn't going anywhere for me. But it's still part of this story.

Ted- Adam Brody
Rodolphus- James Franco
Lucius- Ryan Gosling (When he was younger)
Rabastan- Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Please Reveiw I could really use the help and comments

***************************************************************

August 1968. Black Manor

It was a few days before Andromeda would be returning to Hogwarts for her 5th year. She couldn't wait, not just because stuck at home with her family and Rab was unbearable, but also because just this morning she had gotten her Prefect badge. It was also going to be her first year without Bella, her 7th year had just passed and she was obviously head girl, so now her parents expected the rest of their daughter to follow in her footsteps.

In all honesty Andromeda barely recognized who Bella had become. She had become obsessed with the Dark Lord her sixth year and taken the dark mark her 7th. She had become manipulative, malicous, and unhinged. And her eyes had such darkness now. Both she and Narcissa felt very unconfortable around her, she always seemed to be looming and planning something. The good thing was she was hardly ever around, she and Rodolphus were off doing gods know what. Except for this mourning when she came in for breakfast and announced that the dark lord would becoming for dinner tomorrow night, the Lestranges and Malfoys were to attend as well. Bella and her parents acted as if it was the highest honor their family had ever recieved. But the thought of that monster eating dinner with her and her family made Andromeda's skin crawl, she would just have to make through the dinner without saying anything at all.

Andromeda had also lost her innocence over the summer. Bella had talked her into letting Rab deflower as his birthday gift. Well happy birthday to him. It was awful, it was painful, Rab could have cared less of how Andromeda had felt, he just shoved himself inside, grabbed her breasts hard, and rode her without mercy. Rab had acted like it was the best thing he had ever felt, and he was very vocal about it, Andi thought it was worst thing she had ever felt and never wanted it to happen again. and the rest of the summer Rab couldn't keep his hands off of her, he wasn't a bad kisser but she never got that 'feeling' when he kissed her, luckly the were always interupted before they could get very far. This sooner summer was over the better.

(The next evening)


"Bella why are you already getting into your dress, dinner still not for another two and a half hours?" 13 year old Narcissa asked, though see looked as though she was sixteen.

"I have to be prefect for this dinner, I have to be prefect for him, he's finally meeting Mother and Father, and theres still so much do before he arrives." she said as almost if she were speaking aloud rather than answering Cissy question. "Get over here and zip me already" she demanded Cissy, she walked over and zipped up Bella's strapless black tight-fitted gown. Once Bella had found her self acceptable she, went downstairs to see how everything was going, leaving Cissy and Andromeda in the room alone together.

"Did you hear the way she was talking about him as if he were"

"Roddy" Andromeda finished the sentence for her. Cissy simply nodded her head .

"Isn't that odd?" Cissy asked

"Demented is more like it." Andromeda answered. Cissy looked at her in horror to say something like that about their own sister, "Face it Cissy the Bella we once knew is gone and she isn't coming back."

Cissy just looked at the floor. The two of them got dressed for the epic event in silence. They put on their make-up and put their hair up and put on the matching starpless silk dresses, Cissy's was dark blue, and Andromeda's was champaine color. When they were finally finished they caught each others eye "Let get this over with" Andromeda said


*********************************


When they had reached the foyer, the Lestranges were already there awaiting the Dark Lords arrival. Bella was pacing around the room in anticipation. Her parents seemed to be in discussion of how exciting this situation was, Rodolphus was leaning against the wall with a slytherin smirk as he watched his girlfriend pace up and down the foyer, Rab had already made his way to Andromeda's side "You look nice Andi." He said kissing her cheek had put his hand around her waist possesivly, which at that moment didn't bother her that much. Then a knock came from the huge french doors that led into the house, Bella stopped and quickly made her way over to the doors, then smoothed her hair and dress down before opened the door, as she opened the door with every intention of greating the Dark Lord was lost when she discrovered it was only her Aunt and Uncle and The Malfoys.

Then from the crowd of people that had just arrived Andromeda heard "ANDI!!!!!!!!!" shouted by her eight year old cousin Sirius as he rushed towards her and crashed into her as he hugged her, this made Andromeda smile, she loved Sirius like a brother and loved him more than she loved Bella thats for sure. She looked up to she Lucius stand next to Cissy with his arms crossed and a pout on his lips, Cissy merely rolled her eyes, the two of them really didn't get along, Lucius was a year younger than her and 3 inches shorter. and near Lucius stood her other cousin Regulus who looked none to pleased to be there. Sirius only came to about Androdromeda chest which he began to nuzzle slightly with his face but she didn't mind. Then another knock came from the door, Sirius let go of his favorite cousin and turned around to see, and Andromeda placed her hands on his shoulders to comfort them both.

"He's here" Bella said with excitment, she rushed to the door to let him in, She opened the door and bowed as she did "My Lord welcome to my home." She said "And what a lovely home it is ." The Dark Lord said as he put a hand on her shoulder letting her know that she no longer had to bow, then her Father made his way over to him "I am Cygnus Black, it is an honor to have you in my home My Lord." he said. Introductions were made, the Dark Lord shook the hands of all the men and kissed the hands of all the women, and then they all made they're way to the dining room, before Andromeda had started to go to she took Sirius's hand and looked at him and said "Try not to say anything tonight." At first he looked confused then realized it was for his safety and nodded his head as they went into the dining room.


*******************************************

Cygnus sat at the head of the table, and the Dark lord sat at the opposite end of the table, Bella sat to his right, Rodolphus sat next to her, Rab sat next to him, Andromeda sat next to Rab followed by Sirius, Mr. Lestrange, her Aunt and Uncle Orion. Then Cissy sat to the Dark lords left followed by Lucius, Regulus,Mr. & Mrs. Malfoy, Mrs. Lestrange, and Druella black sat to the right of her husband.

They had eaten the first two courses in complete silence, they had started into the main course, and the Dark Lord finally broke the silence. "Cygnus what a lucky man you are to have such beatiful, intelligent, and pure daughters." "Thank you my lord! Druella and I take great pride in our daughters." "As you should." he continued to tell the Lestrangeds what a delight there sons were, and what good Rodolphus and Bella were doing. He started explaining his veiws on mudbloods and how he was "handling" them. It was strange some how he made it sound like the things he was doing were acceptable, no logical, and everyone seemed to hang on his every word, except for Andromeda and Sirius.

Sirius was moving his food around his plate to keep himself occupied, Andromeda had stopped eating all together, it was taking every ounce of her strength not to get up and run out of the house to get as far away as possible, 'I have to find a happy place..... Hogwarts..... Transfigurations....Potions....' then within her memories emerged the face of a smiling handsome teenage boy, that calmed Andromeda down completely, but it wasn't Rab, but the smiling face of Ted Tonks, muggle-born hufflepuff, goofy, and kind, though they hardly spoke to each other they were friends, it was almost like a persence. And the thought of him put her at ease, until "Andi?....ANDI!" Bella called to her snapping Andromeda from her happy place, "The Dark Lord asked you if you were excited about being a prefect." she said irretated. Apparenly that had been brought up. "Oh! sorry....Yes I'm very excited" she said embaressed, He smiled at her, which only frightened her, "I was the Slytherin prefect as well, Head Boy as well, what is your favorite class?" "Oh, Potions and Transfigurations." she said trying not to stumble as she spoke. "Yes potions was one of my fravorite classes as well, but Defense Against the Dark Arts was definitly my favorite, I even applied the teaching position, but the crazy old man Dumbledore turned me down." "That Fool!" yelled Bella laughing as she did so. The conversion turned from there, but no longer required Andromeda's attention.

Finally the Dark Lord had the kids leave the room, only leaving the parents and Bella and Roddy. Andromeda was absolutly releaved, but Lucius and Rab looked dissapointed.

They were told to go to the drawing room, so thats where they headed. "Actually I could really use some fresh air I'm not feeling to well." Andromeda said once they had made it into the hallway, "I'll go with you" Rab said trying to sound seductive, "No! I mean don't you want to talk with Lucius, I'm sure you two have some catching up to do." she said "Yeah Rab , I have to tell you all about my trip to France" Lucius said as he pulled Rab down the hallway,Rab looked very pissed that he wasn't about to have a snogging session with Andi, Regulus was talking with Sirius as Cissy led them towards the drawing room, Andromeda walked towards the back door calmly but the minute she was out side she sprinted through the garden, trying to get far away from the house, she ran until she got to her favorite bench next to the big willow tree, which she then collapsed upon, she buried her head into her hands, panting and her whole body shaking, and she began to cry "This isn't happening....this isn't happeneing....this isn't my life...I don't want to be this .... no no no No!!!!!!!" it was then she felt a small hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see Sirius standing next her "What are you doing here?" she sniffed "I told them I had to go to the Bathroom but I came to find you instead." she was gald Rab hadn't come up with the same idea. Sirius sat down and Andromeda put her arm around his shoulder, and drew him close to her. "I didn't like that crazy man at all." he stated, "Me neither." she said, they sat quietly for a little bit

"Sirius, lets make a promise, that neither of us will follow the Dark Lord, from this day foreward you and I make our own destiny, choose our own futures." she said looking at him, a few tears falling from her eyes, "It's a promise." Sirius said.


************************************


The day for her to finally leave for Hogwarts had arrived, she would finally be away from Bella, from her family, and she would figure out this year what she really wanted to do with her life, make her own destiny, find where she belonged. She, Rab, Cissy, and Lucius had found a compartment, and Andromeda set a few things down and turned to leave, "Where are you going!" Rab asked none to nicely

"I'm a prefect Rab, I have a meeting to go to, I have to change into my uniform and then do some rounds or something like that, I'll be back later." She said walking out of the compartment. She took out the piece of paper that gave her directions on how to get to the prefect room, after six mins. of searching she came across it, she opened the door, and behind it was a locker room, where they were to change into their robes, and standing right in front of her was a tall, musculiar, dark haired boy, wearing muggle jeans, his wand sticking out of his back pocket, and a tight fitted black shirt, that showed off his Quidditch toned body. He then turned to look at who had just walked in, and looking at her face to face was Ted Tonks.

A huge smile broke across his face "Andromeda!" he said with surprise and excitment

"Hello Ted"
