Theodore had wondered what Lestrange's aim was from the moment of finding out she had invited herself to the house. The thought that she was there to spy was definitely high on his list, but as he watched her direct Andromeda - and promptly send Stephen off with her, her goal became only far too clear.
He felt like groaning. Why couldn't Stephen just have agreed to court and get engaged to Belvina? It would have been easier, because if that was Bellatrix goal - how did they turn her down? She was insane. Her sister had married a mudblood. It was a very good thing he was such a good actor and let his face reveal nothing.
"Dinner will be served shortly," he said as Stephen and Andromeda obligingly left the room, giving his son an out quickly enough. As much as he wanted his son married, and with good pedigree, Andromeda Black was not what he had in mind.
