a little walk

[Edward Tonks]

Edward walked through the greenhouse looking at all the different types of plants. It was something he liked to do in his spare time. Edward was not the brightest student, but he liked Herbology, and especially plants. He knew a lot about them all, how much light they need, what they eat, etc. etc.

As he walked through he thought about the latest developement in his private life. He and Adromeda had been together one night, something that wasn't new, but the one thing that was different was that Andromeda's sister, Narcissa, walked in on them. Edward didn't know what was going to happen now, would she tell, and if she did what did that mean for him and Andromeda?

Just then, he heard the door open behind him as someone walked into the greenhouse.[/color][/font]

[Andromeda Black]

Andromeda was looking for Ted. She had checked all the usual places before heading outside to the greenhouses. She knew he liked herbology, and would everyonce in a while find him here just wandering quietly like she did tonight. She liked it here just because of that. She would see him though the clear glass and watch him for a bit, then usually interrupt his quiet time just because she knew noone else was there. They would kiss in the warmth of the greenhouse for a bit before heading back to the castle and taking there seperate ways so noone would figure they were more than just friends. Mainly her family. But tonight was different.

She tried to quietly open the door, but as soon as she had, he turned around to look at her. She hadn't been around for a while. She couldn't risk Narcissa seeing them together again. She had told her sister that it wasn't anything. That she had just taken things to far with Ted that night. That it wouldn't happen again. But she was lying to her sister. She would see Ted again, and there relationship was a little more than just going to far one night. But should she risk the wrath of her family for him? She had seen them just blow family members off the family tree as if is was no big deal and go back to finishing there dinner. As much as she would sometimes let herself realize that her family was sometimes truely horrible, she didn't know if she could mentally handle being on the other side of that blow.

"Ummmm..." She started to talk but she couldn't really think of anything to say to him. She didn't even know why she had gone to find him. "Hi." came out quietly.

[Edward Tonks]

Edward whatched as Andromeda fumbled over words. She hadn't been around for a while, he understood but couldn't help to be a little apathetical towards her. He turned around and went back to the plant he was looking at. He hated himself for being mean, and knew it wouldn't last long. No matter how hard he tried to look like he didn't care - not about what happened, not about being left alone, not about Andromeda - it would never work. He cared far too much.

"What? An accidental meeting?" What any normal person would have sneered out, Edward merely said in a conversational voice. He wasn't one to be any worse than turning away. He had been waiting for her, tonight and every other night since Narcissa found out about them. And he hadn't liked waiting.[/color][/font]
