Why does no one ever talk about Andromeda Tonks I mean she was a pure-blood Slytherin in the Black family and she still chose to marry a muggle born despite being disowned and then she raised one of the most badass witches in all of existence and joined the Order of the Pheonix and when her husband, daughter and son-in-law all died in the war, she stepped up and helped raise Teddy seriously that woman was a fucking hero.

fishingboatproceeds: isnerdy: fishingboatproceeds: Seriously. Welcome to Happily Ever After, Rosaline. You live in a united and prosperous Verona. And you don’t have to hang out with people who get married within hours of meeting. You won the freaking Shakespeare tragedy lottery. p.s. I hear that Paris guy ain’t half bad. Oh, he’s dead, too? YEAH MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS THEN. Clearly the only man in that play for me is Mercutio.  Oh, he’s dead, too? Might I recommend Benvolio?
