After the war ended, Andromeda was alone. Only her infant grandson remained of the happy family she once possessed. Because her daughter and her son-in-law were such visible members of the losing side, she feared that their actions would damn their son. The thought of losing little Teddy after she'd lost everything and everyone else was unbearable. Days after the murder of Harry Potter, she sought Antonin out. She knew that she needed to have a powerful ally within the new regime if she expected her grandson to survive. Her life was meaningless.  Part of her wished she could follow her husband in death, but she would be damned if her innocent grandson would be punished for his parents" failings.
