"Eww!" Harry cried leaping back causing Cygnus to laugh."Don’t worry kid, it won’t reach you, the bubble is stopping that."Andromeda, I don’t expect forgiveness, I don’t deserve it. I was a coward, a terrible coward. I was terrified that she would do worse. She threatened Cassi, little Cassi." Tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked at his youngest."She what?!" Bellatrix and Andromeda snarled as Cygnus nodded sadly, Cassiopeia and Narcissa just sobbed as they clutched each other's hands, they had both been there at the time, and heard their Mother’s evil words."When she died, I was relieved, I felt free. But when I finally tracked you down, you were happy. Married and raising your daughter, being a nurse at St Mungo’s. I didn’t have the right to walk back into your life after so long, after being such a coward. After abandoning you to believe I agreed with your Mother." Cygnus was out of breath when he was finally finished speaking, the four sisters and the three children were all in tears when he was done."I never stopped loving you Dad." Andromeda whispered smiling at him as she down beside him, the smile on her face and in her eyes spoke the words of forgiveness he had always wanted but never thought he deserved."My daughter is just outside the door, if you want to meet her?" Andromeda whispered, a grin stretched across Cygnus’ face at those words as he nodded as frantically as he could without popping more pustules or causing himself more unnecessary pain."Dora Sweetie, you can come in." Andromeda called. Harry, Hermione and Draco all watched eagerly as a girl who had to be their elder cousin walked in. She was just out of Hogwarts, maybe eighteen or nineteen judging by her looks. But it was hard to tell, she had bright pink hair which sat around her chin, sparkly grey eyes, and a face that was almost identical to her Mother’s."Dora, this is your Grandfather Cygnus Black. Your Aunts Narcissa, Cassiopeia and Bellatrix." she said pointing at each member with a smile."Then your Uncles, Lucius, Rodolphus and sorry I haven’t actually heard much about your husband Cassi." Andromeda said apologetically."This is my husband, Dion LeClair." She introduced him, although her sister was reconnecting with them, it wasn’t time to tell her who he was. She wait to see how she coped with the news of why Bellatrix attacked so viciously."It’s nice to meet you." Tom grinned as he extended his hand."Pleasure is mine." Andromeda smiled."These must be my nephews and niece." she said smirking at the preteens."These are my two." Cassi grinned pointing to them."Hartford and Hermione."It’s Harry." He grumbled."Mum and Dad do that too!" Dora whooped happily throwing her arms over his shoulders happily, as her Mother sighed in exasperation. For a few moments, they could be a family and forget the horrors that were drawing them together again."It is not that horrible." Andromeda groaned as if having had this argument many times.
