Nikki Weasley is a little sick and twisted. (philotheria) wrote in fourteenshades, @ 2014-08-02 12:11:00 |

Being stuck and unable to plan to the extent that her mother deserved, Nikki spent the last day of captivity making lists of all of the things that needed to get done in order to give Fleur a proper birthday celebration. She planned to make the cake herself. She grew up attached to the apron strings of her grandmothers. Dominique knew how to bake. What she lacked in artistic talent, however, she made up for in taste and magic. The cake was the least of her worries, and she was finished with it before the rest of the village was even awake. It was the rest that she needed help with. She needed others to collect and hang the lights and streamers, to make sure there were plenty of chairs and tables and other food. She also needed them to keep quiet about it. When she thought everyone should be getting up, she sent notes to all of Fleur's family and friends with instructions and requests for help. Everyone, in their invitation (Nikki seriously did not expect anyone to have plans for that evening because it was a small place, and any plans that existed could be broken). Because it was easiest, everyone was to convene at the Burrow at 5:30 PM to set up. Nikki, Louis, and Victoire, whom she had recruited to help her keep Fleur occupied while the others did their things, brought Fleur to the Burrow blindfolded. The back garden was full of lights and paper cranes. Nikki had folded thousands of them, with magic. A thousand cranes equals one wish, and there were at least five. |
All Weasleys, Potters, and friends of Fleur were invited to this. Everyone had a small job that Nikki requested help with, and each person received wishing stone and gift certificate to Mike's Corner for their help. Nikki gave her mother a picture of Fleur holding baby Nikki, a chocolate spa kit, and a book of stories that inspired the constellations. |
