Just came to get my bags then I guess I'm leaving. Year-TBD

So, I had bumped into Andromeda's sisters and they really tore me a new one. I cannot be the reason I destroy the family and her bond with her sisters. I knew we were meant for each other and yet here I was not being able to do anything about it. It killed me to know that. I wish I could only be there for her when she read this letter. I knew I should be a man about this and talk to her. But I kenw if I stayed I wouldn't have said it. I wouldn't have had the ability. I knew she was one of hte best things in my life but I could not be the reason she gets ignored by her family. Because I am not good enough for her. So I sat down at the Hufflepuff common room and took out parchment. and started....

Andromeda.....

I am sorry for writing this and not being man enough to tell this to you...but I have to break up with you. Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. But I cannot be the reason you lose contact with your family. They are your family and your support group. I love you. I always will. But I hope you can find someone who really deserves you......

I paused reading what I wrote, knowing this was going to be hard I just wish I knew how hard it really was going to be.

Someone who can provide for you and not just be good at Quidditch...or just be good at a few things. You need someone who can protect you.....someone that will never hurt you.... I'm sorry I have to leave this way....I hope you can forgive me...I will love you.

Ted.....

I called over my owl Christian, t deliver this letter to Andromeda. then come right back to not wait for a response as I did not want it back more than likely. I will not respond to a letter back.

I was sitting in Slytherin common room alone, although there were some people here and there. The door opened and people started filling in. In the group of people I could see my sister and I really didn't want to face them at this moment, so I grabbed my homework, bag and headed up to my room. I was lucky enough that I knew my sisters were both downstairs, and knew that they would stay there for a while. I wanted to be alone and just didn't want them in our room right now. As I was setting down my books and bag, there was a tapping on the window closest to me. I looked over and saw Christian, Ted's owl. I smiled, thinking that maybe Ted wanted to meet up somewhere. I opened the window and took the note from him. He instantly flew away. I was a little flabbergasted by that, but I guess if he wanted to meet up, it would be a fact of me actually going, so he really wouldn't need a written answer. I closed the window, unrolled Ted's note and read, my smile dropping from my face as if someone had slapped me hard.

I moved backwards, aiming for my bed as I sat down, but fell onto the floor beside it instead. I didn't even care, I just couldn't stand anymore. I stared at the letter, as if I didn't even know what was there. My eyes focused and I read it again. My shock seemed to go away and I started to cry as it got worse and worse. Now I was really glad that I was alone, now I could drown in my own sorrow. Why did he want to break up? This can't really be the reason. He never had a problem with it before. I just didn't understand. And how can he say that he loves me, but be breaking up with me. That doesn't make any sense at all. He is the love of my life. This isn't fair.

The letter fluttered down to the ground between me and the window as I held my knees to my chest and just balled my eyes out.

I sighed knowing that we were meant for each other and here I had just broke up with one of the reasons for existence. I can't be the reason she loses everyone in her family. Icouldn't ask her to do that... It broke my heart to do that. But, as her sisters put it....she could find someone better and told me I had dirty blood because I wasn't pureblood enough for Andromeda. I wanted to know how it was any of their business but they are sisters so they are going to be protective. I sighed running my hands through my hair. I needed to get out of here. " Hey Amos!" I said to my roomate.

I just got back with Bella and a bunch of our friends from having some butter beers down in Hogsmeade. As we made our way in, I noticed our little sister Andromeda heading upstairs. She is pretty into school, so once it gets busy down here, I know she likes to go to her room to work on it.

Everyone seemed to be in such a good mood today. I knew I was. Bella and I finally got Ted off Andromeda's back. Now we can get her a perfect man. There were a lot of good suiters in this bunch actually. Lucius Malfoy for one, but he was mine. Maybe not this exact day, but he will be. I smiled at the thought of getting with him one day. He was already my friend, I just needed to make the next step to being with him.

I walked away from everyone, un-noticed, and headed upstairs. I needed a bit of a lay down before dinner. I walked into the room, expecting to see Andromeda on her bed, working at her homework, but instead, I seen her sitting on the floor between our beds, holding herself. I shut the door and said slowly, "Andromeda...are you okay?"

I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest without someone cutting open the skin first.

I looked up as I heard Narcissa's voice. I tried to tell her that I was in pain, but all that came out stutters of nothing because I was in such a frenzy over it. She came over to me. I handed her my letter from Ted as she sat down beside me. I leaned against her as she read. I've never been close to either of my sisters, but I just needed her at this moment in time.

I looked at Andromeda as she leaned onto me. We never were close, even when we were really young, but I knew that she needed me and I would be here for her.

I held out the letter and read it slowly. So, this was how he was breaking up with her? How manly. I felt a laugh coming, but I needed to hold it in, for the fear that Andromeda will flip out. I read it again to make sure I understood everything and then set the letter down. I could hear Andromeda mumbling something about not understand how this could happen. I sighed. I guess I needed to tell her.

"Um, Andromeda. I really think you need to listen to me about Ted." She was sitting away and looking at me now with her bloodshot eyes. "Look, he was never right for you. He sent you a letter to break up with you. Do you really want someone that is that inconsiderate? Sweetie, he isn't like us, he isn't a pure-blood. You need to find one like us. You can't destroy our family by being with someone with dirty blood. That is why Bella and I cornered him and told him that being with you would destroy our family, so he need to get out of your life and not come back. That if he really loved you, he would let you go so that you could be good to the family and not a disgrace." I could tell by the way that she was looking at me that she was hurt, but I had to tell her, she needed to know why she couldn't be with him.

I looked at Narcissa like I had never seen her before. Her and Bellatrix were the reason for this reaction from Ted? Their the reason that he is leaving me? Doesn't he realize that we can make our own decisions?

I stood up, grabbed my letter and moved away from Narcissa. "I...I can't believe you did that! You have no right to go meddling into my relationship with Ted! Everything between him and I, is between HIM and I." I glared at her. "You need to get it through your head that I am in love with Ted and don't want to be with anyone else but him." My sadness seemed to melt away as I looked at her. I seemed to just be filling with anger. "Never meddle in my life again Narcissa. And tell Bellatrix that she can't either. My life is my life, not yours." I folded the letter, set it into my jacket pocket and walked out. In the common room I dodged between everyone and walked out. I needed to find Ted, and I needed to find him soon.

I heard my friend calling for me, " Hey what's up Ted?" I asked him with a grin. He looked like something was up. " Go play some quidditch? go flying?" We always needed to get out. It was odd to have a random sad moment with Ted or myself but we did have them. I knew he may need to go do something, " Andromeda?" I asked him. Watching him slowly nod his head. "Food?" I asked him. I knew Rosalie was going to want to talk to him no matter what so it didn't really matter what we did. " You know I can't keep Roaslie away right?" I asked him with a small grin.

Leaving the Slytherin room, I went on a search for Ted. I didn't really know where I should look first. I guess I could try the Hufflepuff room, just knock on the door and ask for him, but I just had this feeling he wouldn't be in there.

I smiled a little, " Outside would be an idea...and I know Rose will want to know how I am and if I need anything.." She was a very nice girl and I'm glad she and Amos are together just sometimes she gets into emotions a lot. It gets a little awkward at time. So, we left the common room and headed for the hall to meet up with Rose. She was in Hufflepuff as well, which had to be nice for them. I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair. " Well, they told me I am not good enough for her, mate..." I told him simply.

I found my way to the front of the school and kind of walked around aimlessly.

So, we went down to the Great Hall to meet up with Rosalie, I gave her a kiss and rose pretty much leapt into Ted's arms saying how she felt so bad for him and if he needs help she is there. I watched him as he grinned, man, he looked so uncomfortable. I hated this happening because of blood status.

I turned a corner, going round to the great hall. The second I was completely round, I froze. This couldn't be happening, not this soon. I could see Amos, standing there with a stupid grin on his face and Ted hugging some girl that I don't think I've ever seen before. Her back was to me and I just couldn't recognize her. And there was Ted. Hugging her and smiling. My anger from Narcissa drifted away as I was filled with pain again. I turned and ran away from them as fast as I could. I was starting to crying and my vision was becoming blinded by the tears.

Next thing I know, I am flat on my behind. I thought maybe I ran into a wall and I really hoped that there was no one around to see that. I rubbed my eyes to clean my tears and when I looked up, I saw Sirius standing there, looking at me like he was concerned. I stood and grabbed him so fast that we both almost fell. I'd never been so happier to see someone I trusted more, but I was also just so sad and was crying into his chest.

I hugged my cousin as she cried. " Woah....what's going on?" I asked her. She doesn't normally break down like this. É What's up?" I asked her. Knowing she wouldn't want people to see her like this I side stepped us both behind the statue.

"I-It's Ted..." I needed to get some control on myself before anyone else came by. I reached into my pocket and hand Sirius Ted's letter. I rubbed my eyes as he looked it over.
