GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM

Andromeda Black has never had any reason to doubt her family's aversion to mudbloods; as far as she is aware, power and respect are her birthright and she follows her sisters down the path their family name has carved for them.

That is, until she meets Ted Tonks.

With the aid of her cousin Sirius, a 'blood traitor' in his own right, Andromeda and Ted fall in love, and Andromeda comes to realise that she cannot continue on the path set out for her, and must follow her heart.

But will the promise of happiness with Ted be enough to convince Andromeda to leave her family forever?
