A celebratory doodle since I've submitted all my year projects for assessment!

It's of Andromeda Tonks (Née Black) and Narcissa Malfoy (Née Black) and baby Teddy.

I am really fascinated by the Black sisters. Each one of them took a different life-path and each one of them has completely differing personalities. I'm intrigued as to whether Narcissa would attempt to contact her estranged sister after the Battle of Hogwarts. I think she would.
Narcissa and Draco Malfoy dont seem to me like evil types, and neither does Lucius if I'm honest. What they are is rather selfish, prideful cowards, therefore they take the any route that will ensure their own survival. Although I believe Lucius is the worst of the three, I think Narcissa and Draco are just scared.
Generalising from a psychologist point of view, it is all about our 'fight or flight' response, the large majority of us will choose 'flight', which is exactly what Narcissa seems to have done through her life, whereas Andromeda chose 'fight'. The problem is once we use a certain response a lot of us will continue to go back to that same response over and over and it becomes habitual and safe.

Why am I rambling about this? Because I like to think that after the war, once Bellatrix is dead and Harry has won, Narcissa re-evaluates what is important and at least tries to make some kind of amends with her sister.
Especially now that her sister Andromeda has lost her husband, only daughter and son-in-law and now has to raise baby Teddy (with help from his godfather).

It's what I like to believe anyway...

I don't know why I've written all this, I think I'm a little delirious from lack of sleep, I've been awake and working non-stop for over 30 hours...

I love Andromeda.

NB I know they don't look their ages, I tried but they looked weird so I made them forever young :aww:

I believe in Cissy and Andy reconciling as well. I don't really think that Narcissa or Draco where ever truly bad people. they just were raised to think whats wrong is right.

I really like your concept about their relationship, and it doesn"t really matter they look younger than they should be, the emotions are well portrayed here.
I love Andromeda too. She must be an amazing person.

I'd really love to know more about Andromeda's past. I think she's a very interesting character we have hardly known...

Sorry if there are grammar mistakes or something, I'm spaniard >.<

lol yes they did look rater young but i like it all the same. and i COMPLETELY agree with your comments/analysis. i feel the same way about the Malfoys. as fro Andromeda, i think she accidentally fell in love with Ted. Ted, i believe, was the fighter and she just had to o along with it, especially once the second war started. it was either "flight" and lose everything or "fight" and have a chance at keeping ever- or something. well done!

You sound like a very cool/nice person. And your drawing is wonderful! Thanks for sharing it (and your thoughts)!

I think Cissy did reach out to Andromeda after the battle. I think its because Narcissa is just a little too weak to function without guidance from an older sister.
