Andromeda didn't quite know what to do with herself. The implications of her daughter being alive again after this last year was just so momentous and amazing but nerve wracking and frightening all in one moment. She was Nymphadora but not her at the same time, she was alive and yet very much dead... Andromeda was torn between relief and disgust at herself but the former won out due to the desire to hold her little girl in her arms again. So with thoughts of a reunion the woman had finally rose from her writing desk and scrambled around her home, taking pictures from their frames, haphazardly dragging a shawl across her shoulders and throwing her hair up into some semblance of order before she'd gotten around to gathering Teddy as she'd said she would do.

She wasn't sure Nymphadora understood who Teddy actually was, but she'd do her best to explain and it would be rather harsh to drop Teddy off with Harry so she could gallivant across London to visit a woman who came from another dimension anyway. Even if she was supposed to be her daughter. So, with a few misgivings but ultimately giving in to the notion Andromeda smoothed out her long skirts and very gently lifted Teddy out of his pin and with a whispered word of soft happiness she apparated with the boy in tow.

***

St. Mungos was intimidating on a regular day, it was large and chaotic and oddly overwhelming but even more so now; Andromeda's heart pounded in her chest and she felt weak from her excitement and nervousness and was trying not to run but still looking left and right eagerly for the right door.

And there.

Andromeda paused and exhaled a very slow breath then blinked back her tears. She didn't move, couldn't. She just stared, adjusted Teddy's position on her hip then very slowly pushed the door open.

Did she want to hold him? Nymphadora pressed her lips together and thought about it. "I'm not very good with kids," she admitted. "But - er, sure, if he wants to be held, that...that'd be nice."

She watched Teddy as her mother spoke, still amazed that he was hers - well, not hers. Andromeda's daughter's, who was dead. But still sort of hers biologically.

Both of his parents were dead, just like hers had been. Nymphadora swallowed tightly, but her eyes snapped up at the very unexpected name. "My husband is here. What do you mean, Remus? Remus Lupin? What does he--" And suddenly she realised what was going on. Her mouth dropped open again, and this time she didn't recover.

"Remus Lupin is Teddy's father?" For a moment, she felt like she was choking. "But he's - are you serious? He was - did she - did I marry him? We had a baby?" Sirius was going to sock him in the jaw next time he saw him, that was for damn sure. "Wait. You're saying Bellatrix killed me? Why would she do that? She's my aunt! She practically helped raise me!"

Nymphadora shook her head, still shocked. "Er, we didn't have a war at all. No - no Death Eaters or Dark Lord or whatever it's all called. I - er, I'm twenty-three, got married at nineteen, I am - was - an Auror, too. Druella raised me, and my parents died when I was a baby. I don't--" She took a deep, unsteady breath. "I don't understand what's going on."
