Happy Early Birthday to GlassCaseOfEmotion! :)

January 1st, 1970

The Black household erupted into cheers and Andromeda spun on her heel and disappeared with a pop. In their drunken haze, no one noticed the missing middle sister except for fifteen-year-old Narcissa. But she wouldn't tell. Andy's secret was safe with her. After all, she kept Ted a secret. She could keep Frank a secret too.

The crack of apparition was unnaturally loud in the still air. Andromeda spun around for a few seconds, trying to regain her bearings. Finally, her eyes fixated on a young blond man quickly making his way to her from a brightly lit house that stood against a backdrop of stars.

"You made it," whispered Frank as he pulled her into his arms and laid butterfly kisses across her nose. "I'm so glad."

"I don't have much time before I need to return home," replied Andromeda, smiling brightly up at her beloved. "They'll notice I'm gone soon and Cissy can only cover for me so long before they discover the truth.

Frank sighed again and rested his forehead against Andy's. "I wish we didn't have to pretend," he said softly, tangling his fingers in Andromeda's light brown curls. "I want everyone to know I love you."

Andromeda smiled softly at him. "So do I," she whispered. "It's only a few more months. Once I graduate, we can be together. I swear." She stood up a bit taller and captured Frank's lips with hers. The couple shared a hasty New Year's kiss before they were, once again, forced to part.
