"Knowing what lay at the end of the road has made the journey easier," he commented, appreciative of how honest Draco was being with him. He wasn't sure how his own journey in this place would play out, seeing as it seemed that the end result for him was rather negative, but he now felt willing to do everything he could to make sure that it would not follow the same path here.

His blue eyes relaxed somewhat. "I still have not met your mother, though I would like to. Andromeda? Who is she?" The name seemed familiar but he couldn't place where he had seen it at first, then he remembered. "A woman, when I first arrived here, replied to my journal entry. She said her name was Andromeda. You are saying she's also part of our family?"
