RP: Oops..did it again... Who: Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley Where: At The Burrow When: July 16, 2024 Rating/Warnings: G Summary: Arthur's inventions strikes again Status: Complete
Arthur stood in front of the ruined patch of merigolds that Molly had been growing that summer to make her famous merigold wine. It wasn't his fault, really. The auto-de-gnomer that he had made out of an old muggle push-mower wasn't supposed to pick up anything but GNOMES - not flowers.
And to add insult to injury, the de-gnomer hadn't picked up any of the gnomes at all so now the blasted little creatures were rolling on the grass laughing at him. Out of frustration, Arthur kicked the nearest one, booting it over a nearby hedge.
"Dare laugh at me you little buggers!" Arthur scowled. Then he heard Molly's voice calling from the kitchen window and he froze.
Tossing the de-gnomer into a bush, Arthur took out his wand and tried to undo the damage to her merigolds as much as he could, planning on telling his wife that a neighbour's cat must have gotten into her garden again.
