That was true, Andromeda had always known that she couldn't have both but that hadn't stopped her hoping that she could. Even know she hoped she could even though it had been nearly ten years for her. Instead of answering Bella's point about that she just bit her lip to stop herself from saying something that she would end up regretting.

Did she regret marrying Ted and having Nymphadora? No, she didn't regret that at all. "Partly," she finally said."I regret leaving the family but I don't regret marrying Ted and having Nymphadora," she said while she braced herself for the explosion.
