Well. Let us not run away with the notion that she is not any sort of disappointment. She could hardly be otherwise, even if your parents had taken her to their bosom - which would have been extreme given the circumstances. I'm not sure what she expected, nor do I care to hear any excuses or ingratitude on her part. Still. Bella and Mother would no doubt be horrified, but family is family. And you at least instilled in her the proper deference to her betters.

I don't pretend it doesn't pain me to think she could have been so much more, had Andi made different choices. There are times when Nymphadora cocks her head just so or gestures or turns a phrase and - there is my sister back again. But it's only a moment here or there. The rest of the time she's frightfully common. Choosing to return to that dingy little shop and that shabby excuse for a pureblood is proof enough of that. I'm entirely of two minds about it, you know.

But in the end I think it's best she go back to her world where it's doubtless more comfortable for all concerned. I only hope when things go wrong again - and inevitably they shall - she thinks to bring the child here. Particularly if it's a boy.
