The Things We Did For Love

Chapter 7 Because of You
Ted/Andromeda

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

Ted and Andromeda laid together in total after bliss of just having made love together for the first time. They lay together naked, they're legs entangled, Ted held her close and protectively, afraid to let her go, his fingers twisting her curls lightly.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." Andromeda whispered

"We Could" Ted said, Andromeda just smiled knowing that they couldn't, but it was still a nice thought.

"What's your family like? You talk about them sometimes; I know you have a sister." Andromeda asked wanting to know all she could about the boy she loved.

"Yeah I have a sister, her name is Carly, she's four years older to me, she's a talented artist, and she’s working at the museum of art in London while she's going to the university. She still doesn't understand the whole magical thing. She has the softest sweetest voice but she swears like bloody sailor, it's shocking the things that come out of her mouth but utterly hilarious at the same time since she still has the voice of an eight year old girl." Ted Said laughing, and then continued

"I also have an older brother his name is Grant, he's pretty popular, all the girls back home are in love with him, he plays a lot of sports, and when he's done with school he wants to go to the university for business. We get along pretty well. My parents are really great, they've been really supportive, it took a bit of adjusting for them, but they've adapted well. My dads a carpenter he makes tables, desks, chairs, and houses even. My Mum works at a local gallery in town and sells paintings and such; she's where my sister gets all of her artistical talent. My towns pretty small too, everyone knows everyone and their business, but everyone thinks I'm off at some private school my parents can't afford, but their all good people, I'm treated like a celebrity when I go back home, everyone hoping they can figure out where I've really been, not that they'd believe me even if I did tell them. But I wouldn't trade the time I’ve spent in the magical world for anything, It's strange living in-between worlds though, never quite knowing where I fit, people treating me differently on a daily basis depending on where I am and who I'm with, it's like I'm living two different lives, like I'm two different people."

"I know what you mean,when I'm at home I have to hide all my feelings and thoughts, and I’m a totally different person with my family I have to be, because who I really am is unacceptable to them." Andromeda said sadly.


“Because of me.” He said feeling a little guilty

“Yes because of you. You helped me see beyond what I was taught, beyond all the prejugdice, and the smoke and mirrors. Remember when you asked me on the train how my summer went?"

"Yeah, you said it was horrid and you didn't want to talk about it, right?" he said

"Right. Well it was horrid because a few days before I left for Hogwarts, the Dark Lord came to my house for dinner." she said. Ted looked as if he were in shock, but she knew he was still listening "Bella acted as if it was the highest honor any of us could have recieved, the way she fauned over him was disgusting. The Malfoys, The Lestranges, My Uncle and his family they were all there. And we all sitting down to dinner with this murdering mad man, all I wanted to do was run out of the dinningroom screaming, or worse just giving up and submissing to their ideals, but one single thought kept me at that table, calmed me down and gave me courage. Do you know what that thought was?" she asked him

"No, what was it?" he asked

"You"

"Me?" he said shocked

"Because of you Ted I was able to sit at that table not utterly afraid, later that night I promised myself and my little cousin Sirius that I would make my own destiny and not follow the Dark Lord like my family. I have become a much better person because of you Ted. No one has ever cared for me like you do, know one has ever made me believe in myself like you do. When I'm with you, I feel like anything is possible. Thank you Ted." her love shined through her eyes as she looked at Ted confessing her feelings

"Your Welcome." he said as he leaned down and kissed her passionately. They made love once more before they got dressed and left the Room of Reuirements, everyone would be returning from Hogsmeade soon, and Andromeda was suppose to be "sick" and in bed, and Ted was suppose to be "Studying". So they kissed one last time for the day, Andromeda headed back to her room while Ted headed for the Library, he actually did need to study for his exams in charms and potions.
