Why Do You Have To Make Me Feel
Chapter 3: Why Do You Have To Make Me Feel?
*************************************************
5 Months Later, January
Being a prefect sure seemed to have its advantages, every two weeks or so Andromeda got to spend three hours alone with Ted when they did rounds, it was one of the few things she actually looked foreword to anymore. They mostly talked about their classes, how much they disliked Trelawny and arithmacy, they even studied together during rounds and quiz each other on things may be coming up on their next exam. Ted talked about his love for Quidditch, he was the Hufflepuff seeker, it made Andromeda wish she could openly cheer for him during the Quidditch matches, 'That would sure piss off the Slytherin's' she thought to herself. She told him about her love for Transfigurations, McGonagall had told her she had a "natural talent" for it, she was also really good at charms. These are how most of their rounds went, however this night was different...
On the front page of this morning’s Daily Prophet were the details of a muggle massacre, 25 innocent muggles were viciously murdered yesterday evening, in pretty much broad daylight or dusk if you will, 10 people were injured beyond repair. It had been the first attack on this scale, the Death Eaters had been known for slaying families of maybe four or five people, but usually not more than that. It had happened near London in one of the more suburban area. Ted seemed to be taking it really personally, who wouldn't.
What Andromeda didn't know was that Ted's sister Carly only lived a few miles away from where the attack had happened, Ted had owled his parents right away, but they told him everything was fine. but Ted was still uneasy.
Now here the two of them were walking around the second floor, at the beginning of their rounds in total silence. Andromeda not quite sure what to say to him, Ted was deep in thought. They continued this way until they reached the stairs to the third floor and Andromeda broke the silence.
"I'm sorry" she said quietly, but loud enough for Ted to hear her. It seemed to break Ted out of his trance
"Sorry? What on earth do you have sorry for?" Ted said giving her an award winning weak in the knees Ted Tonks smile. They slowly started to walk up the staircase.
"The Death eater attack yesterday" she said
"Don't be, you weren't involved" he said as they reached the top of the stairs and started down the corridor.
"No, I wasn't but Bella probably was." she said. This caused both of them to stop in their tracks. They stared at each other for a few moments in silence, then tears started to fall from Andromeda’s eyes,
“I don’t even recognize her anymore, that thing is not my sister, she’s become so distant, so dark and malicious, and I know she helped, I know it, my sister's a murderer.” She said trembling as she came to this realization. Before she could say another word she felt Ted wrap his strong arms around her, one hand between her shoulder blades the other at the small of her back, embracing her with such care and concern. She then embraced Ted back. No one had ever held her like this, not even her own mother. She felt dizzy, light-headed, safe, and vulnerable all at the same time.
“It’s okay Dromeda, let go, let it all out” Ted said kindly
Andromeda then started to cry harder in his arms, all of her barriers came tumbling down, and her emotions came pouring out.
*************************
We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide
Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance letting you inside
*********************************
Ted POV
When Andromeda had had expressed her feelings about Bellatrix he knew that she hadn’t shared those feelings with anyone else, and that she was trying so hard to keep it inside and not let him see how hurt she really was. He couldn’t stand to see her keep doing this to herself, so he did the only thing her could think of, so he grabbed her tightly, and once he did he never wanted to let go. He held on to her small frame, but they somehow fit perfectly together, he inhaled her scent; her hair drenched in the scent of vanilla and lavender, it was sweet but not disgustingly sweet, but so intoxicatingly her. He could still feel her muscled tighten trying to keep her emotions inside
“It’s okay Dromeda, let go, let it all out” and she then broke down and started crying
‘Shit’ he thought to himself, he had called her Dromeda, not that he didn’t know her name was Andromeda but it also wasn’t an accident. Dromeda was his nick name for her although he had never called her that to her face. It what he called her when he dreamt about her, and when he fantasized about her. Rab and her sister called her Andi but he had never called her that, mostly because it was far to intimate for him to call her the nick name given to her by her sisters and he never really thought that it had suited her, but he thought Dromeda did.
****************************
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scar, under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time
The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes
***************************
He wondered if he she had even noticed he had called her Dromeda at all, though he was slightly worried about it, he was also completely in heaven, holding the girl he had been in love with since the moment he saw her when he was eleven years old, she was crying in his arms, confiding in him, in a way letting him love her the way he knew only he could.

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance letting you inside
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scar, under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time
We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home
******************************************
What had only been seven mins. had seemed like a blissful century to Ted, had finally ended when Andromeda pulled relunctly away from Ted's chest.
"Sorry Ted I got you all wet" she said sheepishly
"Oh no it's alright really" Ted said
"Did...did you call me Dromeda?" she asked
Ted's heart dropped to his stomach, and color went to his cheeks. she had heard him.
"Um yeah I did. Sorry I.....I won't ever call you that again if that’s what you want."
"No, I kinda like it. It fits." She said blushing
And then Ted couldn't control himself anymore he had to kiss her. He leaned in to have his lips caress hers, as leaned in closer Andromeda pulled away in hesitation, and then Ted felt ashamed of himself for trying to take advantage of her will she was vulnerable, but as he started to pull back Andromeda threw her arms around his neck, pulled him towards her into a searing kiss. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer into him. The world seemed to melt away from them; all that mattered was here and now, the two of them finally together. Their kiss started to deepened, Ted’s tongue brushed along her bottom lip trying to gain access inside her sweet mouth, and she granted it. Their tongues danced together, and they grabbed a hold of each other tighter, trying to make this wonderful first kiss last. But they finally came back up for air, breathing in deep breaths foreheads pressed together just staring into each others eyes.
“I love you Dromeda, I always have.” Ted whispered
Andromeda pulled away from him as if he were on fire, and looked at him as if he had hit her, and she started to back away slowly.
“I’m sorry” she mumbled and the turn and sprinted down the corridor and down the stairs and out of sight.
