There was a great benefit to being a fairly passive member of society. Andromeda made a point not to get tangled up in political and moral arguments, primarily because she honestly didn't care. So long as she and the people she cared about were alright, and their safety was not at stake, she had little to no investment in how things were done. It made things quite a bit simpler.
Her daughter was not the same way, it seemed. She had looked at the arguments enough to notice that Nymphadora was involved in them, and suspected that the upset had been the reason for this particular social call. After all, what were mothers for except to comfort their children when they were upset? That was the kind of mother Andromeda intended to be, anyway. She was going to be supportive. Nymphadora was never going to feel deserted or abandoned by her family, not ever.
And if that wasn't what this was about, well, she was hardly going to turn down a cup of cocoa with her future daughter. It hadn't been the best day for Andromeda, either; although her position at the hospital had indeed been vacated by the ghost people filling it, there were still puppets running about the place. A hospital wasn't staffed only by one healer-in-training, she knew, but their presence was still bothersome. There was also very little to do, since they didn't have a large population here in the paradise, and thus no patients. Andromeda was grateful for that, though, and didn't even feel the slightest bit guilty for heading back to her flat, especially since it was snowing. She hadn't dared Apparating since the first time had gone so badly - what if she ended up somewhere else entirely? - and that meant that she had to trek through the snow on foot. She wasn't going to stay at the hospital and risk being snowed in, when there wasn't much point in her being there in the first place.
She'd not been home very long when Nymphadora wrote, so it wasn't much trouble to bundle up again (this time without her healer's robes), grab the cocoa, and head back out into the snow. In truth, Andromeda didn't mind walking about in the snow, it made the whole place seem much more Christmassy. As she walked, she tilted her head back and caught some snowflakes on her tongue.
But she didn't linger out of doors, no matter how tempting it was. She located the place where Nymphadora and her husband were staying, and knocked on the door. Perhaps later she could convince Ted to join her in a snowball fight. That would be fun.
