Who: Andromeda^BDH & Sirius^KNAP
What: Seeking out some family
When: Aug. 3, evening
Where: Her room
Warnings: Angst?

He had decided to seek her out sometime after they had spoken in the journals. He just hadn't known when that movie was until he was already heading toward her room. Maybe it was a little too brash -- but he just needed somebody who wasn't a part of the world he had come from. No conversation was ever easy when it came to them. Everything came with expectations and far too many emotions. And he loved being around Sirilla, but he knew that he could board himself up in her room.

And Andromeda, even she wasn't his Andromeda, was family. He needed to know how to make things right with her, even if wasn't precisely fixing the problems just yet.

It was only when he knocked on her door that he remember that everyone else was considering this Christmas Eve. He probably should have brought a gift -- although she was probably with people, so it was probably just stupid of him to come. But he could say hello, he figured. He could make that step.

Andromeda listened to him, trying to piece together what he was saying. "You said Bellatrix was in your head," she said. "She made you distrust me. Did she also make you angry?" She gave him a wry smile. "She's very good at that."

The vast majority of her vindictive rage was directed at her sister. If it had been someone else, anyone else -- someone she didn't love, despite all the bitterness between them -- maybe she could have coped. But her sister had taken so much from her, her own sister. The violent betrayal of it was just as horrifying as the grief. How had the other Andromeda coped with that? Had there been no involvement from Bella, in her world?

She smiled too, and ran her fingers over the curve of her cup's handle. "You can tell me, Sirius. If you want to."

"She didn't make me distrust you," Sirius answered, and there was something of a sad smile on his face. But he felt he had to be honest on this point. There was no doubt that she had made him distrust Remus and James. But Andromeda was a murkier subject. There had never been the same pressure there had been with his friends. But there had been a sort of warning, the eternal possibility that she might side with them instead of him. Maybe if he had tried harder, Bella would have deterred him. But he hadn't tried harder on that front. He had given up his cousin too readily.

"I don't know," he said, because he didn't. He was angry enough on his own. But he and Bella had never been an especially good combination. They fed off each other in the worst sort of ways. Who knew where his anger ended and hers began now?

"She made me think that they were my enemies," Sirius said finally. "And I planned all sorts of awful ways to kill them."
