“Blood family,” Harry mumbled to the wall, “isn’t everything. I was raised by ‘blood family’.”
“Draco and Narcissa are nothing like Petunia and Dudley,” Andromeda said, sounding surprised. “Surely you’ve seen at least that much for yourself, just today.”
Harry had to admit this was true, but could only nod. He was still looking at the wall. How had this become so awful?
Sensing Harry’s misery, Andromeda squeezed his hand, then suggested he follow her toward the kitchen. “What we need,” she said, her heels lightly clacking on the hallway’s hardwood floor, “is a nice big pot of Earl Grey.”
t-T-t-T-t-T-t-T-t
“Why do you think Teddy needs allies?” Harry asked, clutching a perfect cup of tea. “And if he does, why am I not enough?”
“Werewolves do not often have children,” Andromeda began, pouring herself tea. “For quite a few reasons. Including societal stigma.”
“But his parents were war heroes. They gave their lives for the cause!”
“Harry,” Andromeda said, sounding quite serious. She put a hand upon his and he stilled. “You’ve only been part of the wizarding world since you were eleven, but tell me. Do you think that is sure to protect Teddy from all accusations of deviance?”
t-T-t-T-t-T-t-T-t
“Who would accuse Teddy of–!”
Andromeda shushes him with one quelling look, and Harry stills, remembering. Sirius’ “trial.” Dementors on Privet Drive. Harry’s trial, for that matter. Dolores Umbridge and her thousand Ministry edicts.
He puts his head on the table. If anyone knows how unfair, how judgmental, how reactionary the wizarding world is, it’s Harry. He’s been judging the Malfoys unfairly. Draco deserves a chance to prove himself.
“I’m sorry, Andromeda,” he finally says, head still down. “Of course Teddy should have them in his life. He should have as many people to love him as he can.”
